See "Minhagei MaHaRYL", ed. Spitzer, H. Ma'achalos Assuros B'Pesach 16 
(p. 134) "The MaHaRaSh says that we prohibit cooking all species species 
of kitniyos on Pesah ...."  There is no additional mention of rice.

I don't have a copy of the MaHaRaSh or the SMaK immediately available.

Also see SA OH 453:1 "rice and other species of kitniyos ...."
