Eminem & Rihanna Crush: Daughter Hailie Jade Scott Mathers Praise, New Album Collaboration?

Rihanna talks a lot about her former relationship with hip-hop superstar Chris Brown in a new explosive interview with Vanity Fair. But the "BBHMM" darling also highly praises fellow rapper, Eminem - does Rih still have a little celebrity crush on the infamous "Rap God?"

The 27-year-old Barbadian pop sensation had this to say about her longtime "The Monster" pal:

"He's one of my favorite people. He's got so many layers and he's such a good person-focused, disciplined. I mean you can't tell me that you have to be in the club when Eminem is legit at home and being a good father and is still one of the most prestigious rappers of our generation. He's one of the most talented poets of our time. It was such a brilliant moment to have him ask me to be part of a record; I felt... anointed, because he thought I was cool enough to be on ['Love the Way You Lie']" (via RealTalkNY).

Shady's stunning teen daughter Hailie Jade Scott Mathers is now a college student at Michigan State University.

The 42-year-old MMLP2 superstar has definitely prospered and matured over the past several years - is that exactly what RiRi needs in a new boyfriend? Or maybe they're just better off as successful business partners...

The "FourFiveSeconds" songstress is STILL working on her highly-anticipated new album (allegedly entitled R8). Given her awesome relationship with the renowned Detroit emcee, will he appear on another surprise track? Either way, fans are eagerly waiting!

‏@james_lohan: "Do you ever feel like you're thinking about Rihanna's new album more than Rihanna is?"

@ethanrih: "If Rihanna does a Beyonce and tours without a new album I'll be so pissed."

‏@Wana___: "I understand that Rihanna released 7 albums in 7 years, but aunty you've rested enough. New album please."

@BeStillMySoul_: "Rihanna needs to stop playing and come out with a new album."

@S_HoneyBunches: "Really don't understand why Rihanna hasn't given us a new album yet... I need new music."

Stay tuned - Rih's November cover issue for Vanity hits newsstands soon.
