Katy Perry has denied reports that she has been giving support to friend Rihanna during her problems with on/off boyfriend Chris Brown. R & B star Brown is currently awaiting a trial for assault charges for an alleged attack on Rihanna in February and sources in the US have claimed Perry was helping the Umbrella star deal with the situation. "We've hung out a couple times. Of course I consider her a friend, but it's not like 'I'm there', making a big deal of it, because I feel weird about that type of stuff. You know, we're just buddies. We've had dinner, and that's about it," Katy told MTV News. "We're both kind of on this crazy rollercoaster, and it's nice to have good girlfriends. I pride myself on having cool chicks in my life, and she's a cool chick."
