Idina Menzel thinks dating as a single mother "sucks".
The 43-year-old singer split from her husband Taye Diggs in December after 10 years of marriage, but she doesn't feel ready for another relationship because she's worried how their four-year-old son Walker will cope.
Speaking to Sean Valentine on his radio show 'Valentine in the Morning', she said: "I don't want to keep introducing him to people and having him form bonds and then take them away, you know."
The brunette beauty, whose parents divorced when she was a teenager, thinks Walker is at an age where he won't be particularly affected by his parents' divorce.
She explained: "I went through it when I was 15 years old. I keep telling myself, because I feel so badly for him, it's better that he's four-and-a half than when he's 15. He has two parents that love him very much and we want to be great mums and dads. At 15 I was too aware, I thought I was an adult, and I got in the middle of everything and I took on the stress for both of them."
Meanwhile, Taye went public with his new girlfriend Amanza Smith Brown at the 2014 BET Awards last weekend after their relationship became public knowledge just four months after his split from Idina.

Kelly Osbourne's mother Sharon doesn't approve of her new head tattoo.
The 'Fashion Police' co-host, who shaved her luscious locks into a mini purple mohawk style last month, admits her 61-year-old mum isn't fond of her new inking and would prefer her to look cute and girly all the time.
Speaking on 'Live with Kelly & Michael', she said: "I think my mum wants me to look like a little doll."
The 29-year-old star shocked fans last weekend when she revealed on Instagram that she'd had the word 'Stories...' etched onto the left side of her head.
However, the bubbly beauty, who has a number of other tattoos on her body, insists the inking wasn't at all painful and she has suffered worse pain from other designs.
When asked if the tattoo hurt, she replied: "No. My wrist really hurt and the top of my feet really hurt, but this, no."
Kelly won't reveal the meaning behind her new body art, which was completed by artist Dr Woo from popular parlour Shamrock in Hollywood, but insists it will all become clear in the near future.
She said: "It means something special to me that people will find out later."
Although, she isn't planning on displaying the tattoo permanently as she insists no one will be able to see it when her hair starts to grow out.

Cameron Diaz has become fearless with age.
The 41-year-old actress admits she doesn't tend to stress over the little things now that she's hit the fourth decade of her life and she's enjoying her new care-free attitude.
Speaking in the August issue of America's Esquire magazine, she said: "I like being 41. I love it. So much sh*t just falls away. Fear, mostly. It's the best age. That's when a woman knows how to work things, or she doesn't care about that anymore. You just stop being afraid.
"You don't worry about what men think. You just don't worry that time register is anything awful."
Meanwhile, the 'Other Woman' star has been dating her new boyfriend Benji Madden for two months now and, although she feels ready to settle down, she's doesn't want to rush their blossoming relationship.
A source said previously: "She's at a point in her life where she would love to settle down, but for now with Benji it's about being happy and taking things as they come. She's happy ... really happy."
The couple went public with their romance last month when they were spotted walking hand-in-hand around New York City, but the initial spark between the pair took the blonde beauty by surprise.
The source explained: "The relationship sort of hit Cameron out of nowhere. She's always been open-minded when it comes to men. She just wants to have something in common with them and find a personality that loves life and loves as hard as she does."
Meanwhile, Cameron has previously dated Alex Rodriquez, Justin Timberlake, Jared Leto and has even admitted to a romantic liaison with another woman.

Kim Kardashian has become more "selective" of jobs since giving birth to her daughter last year.
The 33-year-old reality star admits she's struggled to find a balance between her career and becoming a mother to North 12 months ago, but thinks "prioritising" is essential.
Speaking to Romyandthebunnies.com, she said: "It is an adjustment trying to balance a career and motherhood for sure, but the key is to prioritise.
"You become more selective and work on projects that are so meaningful because you want every other waking moment spent with your family.
"You have to remember though to make time for yourself. If you feel good, you will be happy in your career and family life and everyone is happy!"
The brunette beauty enjoys taking time away from her busy schedule to spend time with North, whom she has with her husband Kanye West, and admits her favourite thing to do is to fall asleep cuddling her.
She explained: "My absolute favourite thing is taking a nap with her. We cuddle and fall asleep holding each other. It's my favourite time just snuggling with her."
However, the 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' star sometimes takes the tot along with her when she has work commitments and has learnt how to deal with travelling long distances on an aeroplane with a baby.
She said: "Jet lag can be tough to adjust to, especially for a baby. I think its important to travel with the necessities to make sure your baby gets a nap on the flight, and whenever necessary!"

Robin Williams has checked into rehab again.
The 62-year-old actor is seeking treatment at Hazelden Addiction Treatment Center in Minnesota to help him maintain his long-term sobriety.
His representative told TMZ.com: "After working back-to-back projects, Robin is simply taking the opportunity to fine-tune and focus on his continued commitment, of which he remains extremely proud."
It is believed Robin will be spending the next several weeks at the facility seeking professional help.
In 2006, the comedian checked himself into a substance abuse rehabilitation centre in Oregon after admitting he was an alcoholic following two decades without booze.
His publicist said at the time: "After 20 years of sobriety, Robin Williams found himself drinking again and has decided to take proactive measures to deal with this for his own well-being and the well-being of his family."
The 'Mrs. Doubtfire' star also battled with cocaine addiction in the late 1970s and early 1980s, but quit the drug following the death of his close friend John Belushi in 1982 and the birth of his son Zachary in 1983.
Robin previously admitted he once thought he could handle his substance abuse on his own, but realised he would only kick his addiction with professional help.
He said: "You can't [deal with it on your own]. That's the bottom line. You really think you can, then you realise, I need help, and that's the word ... It's hard admitting it, then once you've done that, it's real easy."
Meanwhile, the star has been busy working on the upcoming movie 'Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb', which is expected to hit screens later this year.

The 'Monty Python' stars will only retire when they die.
The comedy troupe's five remaining members have no plans to quit showbiz altogether once their 10 'Monty Python Live (Mostly): One Down, Five To Go' live show dates at London's O2 Arena come to an end on July 20 and plan to keep going for as long as physically possible.
Asked whether they were retiring, Michael Palin said: "Not at all. We're retiring from Python so we can enjoy the rest of our lives. We are not retiring; we're just carrying on working until we drop."
John Cleese added: "We're all going to go in very different directions."
The septuagenarian gang might only have had two weeks of intense rehearsals for their reunion show, but they have put in months of physical training to get into shape.
Eric Idle explained: "I've been hiking for three months because I know stamina's the one thing you can't fake, so I've been preparing myself physically [to last] the 10 nights."
Michael added: "The opening number is quite energetic, we leap around and it sets the standard. I'm worn out after the first few minutes. [Much like] Mick Jagger, we can still move fast around the stage, the madness takes over."
However, Terry Jones has been more laid back about the whole process.
He joked: "I've not been drinking for about a week."
John chimed in: "When the show's finished Eric goes on to do the technical stuff, but we go home. So I've prepare for it by sleeping more."
The stars also reminisced about the last time they performed live together decades ago.
Eric laughed: "All the audience was smoking marijuana, John and I went into the audience and we came out pretty high..."
Michael added: "Not sure that's going to be available at the O2. Maybe Viagra... we've all got Viagra in our dressing rooms."
Michael, John, Eric and Terry Jones were joined by Terry Gilliam at a press conference announcing the biggest live event of 2014. New tickets went on sale yesterday (30.06.14), while today (01.07.14) sees the release of the complete collection of all nine albums, 'Monty Python's Total Rubbish', by Virgin EMI Records.

Police were called to Justin Bieber's house this morning (01.07.14).
Law enforcement officers were called over loud music at the Beverly Hills apartment - where the 'Believe' hitmaker was hosting a party for guests including Johnny Manziel, Floyd Mayweather, Tyrese, Tyga, and Chantel Jeffries - and after speaking to a guest, the group agreed to turn down the volume.
However, a short time later, police returned to the building following another complaint, this time over female fans who were screaming and making noise outside, TMZ reports.
This isn't the first time police have been called to the 20-year-old singer's home, which he only moved into last month.
According to reports, the HOA (Home Owners Alliance) have been contacted because of excessive noise and marijuana use, and police were previously called on two occasions.
One resident in the building said recently: "The smell of marijuana was permeating the floor, especially my hallway which is shared by [Justin's] unit."
In March, Justin sold his Calabasas home in Los Angeles to Khloe Kardashian, following a string of complaints from neighbours over his wild antics, the most controversial of which was an alleged egg throwing incident which has led to the pop star facing criminal charges.

Julianne Hough worried about speaking her mind with Ryan Seacrest.
The 25-year-old beauty dated the 'American Idol' host for almost three years until March 2013 and admits her current romance, with hockey star Brooks Laich, is more successful than her previous union because she isn't afraid to let herself go completely.
She told Redbook magazine:"Every relationship, there was nothing wrong or bad, but there was nothing right.
"I had one foot out because I didn't want to get hurt. And I didn't say what was on my mind because I didn't want to ruffle any feathers. I needed to be perfect.
"Now I'm not holding anything back, because I'd rather get my heart broken than never know what it is to be completely, madly in love.
"If I had been this open in my last relationship, who knows?"
Julianne says her outlook on love changed completely after she attended a seminar and instantly decided to cut off contact with the guys she was dating - and met Brooks soon afterwards.
She told the new edition of Redbook magazine: "I had this epiphany when my family went to a six-day seminar [last November] about creating your own destiny.
"I learned so much about myself and why my relationships didn't work that by the end I was on a high. I was seeing a couple people, but immediately [I text them to say], 'You are nice, but this is going nowhere.' The next day my 'Curve' co-star introduced [Brooks and me]. It couldn't have been a better time. We've been open and honest from day one."

Megan Fox thinks Ellen DeGeneres is "sexy".
The 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' actress - who has sons Noah, two, and Bodhi, four months, with husband Brian Austin Green - finds the talk show host attractive because of her sense of humour and attitude to Hollywood.
She admitted: "I think Ellen is sexy. Maybe it's the way she gives off the impression that she's anti-'the business' even though she's engaging in it. And humour is always sexy."
The 28-year-old actress also believes guys find "strong and powerful" women attractive and doesn't think girls should try too hard for attention.
She told the new issue of America's Cosmopolitan magazine: "Women don't have to be desperate and try so hard. Allow yourself to be strong and powerful and men will be crawling on their hands and knees."
And the brunette beauty admitted she used to read the magazine in secret when she was a teenager.
She said: "I remember I used to think it was a big deal, when I was like 15, 16, and I knew that Cosmo was something my mom probably didn't want me to read, and so it was exciting to get a hold of it because you felt like you were getting a glimpse behind what it was to be a woman. They're letting you in on womanly secrets."
