Singer Katy Perry graced the September cover of Elle UK, and inside she opened up about her longtime friendship with Rihanna and how she feels about her now.

Earlier this year, rumors swirled that the 28-year-old The Smurfs 2 actress stopped talking to Rihanna she reconciled with ex-boyfriend, Chris Brown.

"I love her [Rihanna] and every time I see her, I'm reminded of the light that she has," Perry said.

"There's a lot of dark in this business," Perry continued before elaborating, without giving any details on anyone specific. "I know a lot of people out there with the most detrimental entourages - they are the root of their demise. It's really unfortunate but you can't save these people. My days of celebrity saving are over."

Before she made that promise of saving celebrities, she did find time to lend a helping hand to a friend in need: Robert Pattinson.

Following the breakup of Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, Perry was photographed with the Twilight actor, fueing rumors that the two were dating. Perry, being the bigger person reached out to Stewart to shut the dating rumors down.

"I sent her a text message saying, 'I know you've seen all this stuff but you know I would never disrespect you. I'm not that person,' " Perry said. "I'm just trying to be a friend to him, but it is unfortunate that I do have a set of tits.

Nowadays, Perry is focusing on her own relationship with John Mayer, who she briefy split with back in March.

"He pulled away. That was a big hello for me," Perry said. "I realized I could lose the person I loved and I had to deal with some things, issues I think a lot of women have."

"You can be strong in one aspect of your life but submissive in another. In relationships, it was hard for me to speak up and set boundaries. I think a lot of that was to do with the fear of loss," Perry admitted.
