Rihanna & Leonardo DiCaprio Flirting On New Year's? Drake's Ex Ready To 'Tame' Hollywood Bachelor, 'Growing Close' Amid Academy Awards Dating Buzz

Rihanna is a wild, rambunctious party girl. Leonardo DiCaprio is a handsome, model-dating bachelor. Perhaps a match made in Hollywood heaven?

According to the infamous gossip webloid Dish Nation, the "Diamonds" songstress celebrated the New Year with friends in St. Barths. Interestingly enough, the "Wolf Of Wall Street" star also welcomed 2015 in tropical paradise. Apparently, the two spent lots of time together. An alleged "insider" claims they're definitely growing closer. Will this budding friendship eventually blossom into a sexy romance?

"Leonardo and Rihanna are getting very close, and she just adores him," the snitch reveals. "So much so that word among her friends is that she has her sights set on him becoming her boyfriend."

Would Drake's 26-year-old ex-girlfriend really throw herself at the 40-year-old award-winning actor?

Hey - not many women can tie DiCaprio down for long. Maybe RiRi would like the challenge!

The source continues, "Rihanna is no shrinking violet and unlike many of Leo's model girlfriends she's got 'a lot of game' to keep him on his toes. They have been together at parties and even spent time alone at friends' holiday apartments in St. Barths."

But they don't want any rumors getting out-of-control, so made it a point not to be photographed together very often. But the Oscars are coming up soon (February 22), and the Barbadian beauty might need a date...

The "Great Gatsby" heartthrob would really shock fans if he walked the Red Carpet with the "S&M" rebel!

Obviously, the two are friendly. But that doesn't mean they're exclusively dating... yet.

Still, Rihanna seems intruged! In a recent interview with Elle magazine, the pop princess mused, "'Avoid obviousness.' That is a quote by Leonardo DiCaprio... That's what makes you create something, that's the excitement, that's the thrill."

Do MstarsNews readers think the unlikely pair would actually make a cute couple? Stay tuned...
