Secret Lovers:Chris and Rihanna Have Been Hooking Up for Over a Year?
I guess the whole world was late trying to read into recent subtweets between Chris Brown and Rihanna because according to US Weekly, these two have been secretly hooking up for over a year now.
Multiple sources on both sides say the two are still finding love in a hopeless place, with a Chris Brown insider saying they “meet up very casually,” and that “[Rihanna] comes to see him anytime she’s in L.A.”
Someone from Rihanna’s camp confirmed what we’ve expected all along about the attention-grabbing singer:
“Rihanna loves to live dangerously, and talking to and hooking up with Chris is all part of that,” the source says.
Living dangerously may not be as fun as she thinks though. After photos surfaced of Chris with Karuche on New Year’s Eve, Rihanna tweeted:
“How can you lie to her, while u lay with me???…..If you don’t have an answer, you don’t have to answer.”
Many also speculate the angry twitter rant she went on recently was in response to reports that Chris tattooed girlfriend Karrueche’s face on his arm. She tweeted:
“Cuz of u I’m on some real f*** a n**** s***!”
Then she got Lil Kim with it: “U wanna be my main squeeze n****, don’t ya? So what n****, I’m not tryna hear that s***!”
This morning, Chris Brown’s rep, Jeff Raymond, told ABCNews.com, “He and Rihanna are just friends,” and that “He is with his girlfriend, Karrueche, and is not cheating,” but these reports definitely puts Karrueche in an awkward place—much like the tattoo on Chris’s arm. However this “friendship” shakes out, I hope this music industry source is wrong when he says, “They can’t get enough of each other. I don’t see it ending well.”
What do you think about this threesome? Is Rihanna fueling rumors on purpose or is she really still messing around with Chris?

Why Are We Still Mad At Them? Stars We Can’t Seem To Get Over
Often times, celebrities go through things and we take it totally personal. Like, they could have moved on with their lives and found the full answer to world peace and we’d still be like, “But remember when…” So, maybe there are some things we – hell, I – need to get over. It may not happen when you read this and shoot, it may not happen at all (I’m sure I’ll side eye some of these things always) but maybe we should just…get over it?
Check out some of these examples and see if we should get over it or stop being so to forgive since “it wasn’t me or mine.” Let me know what you think!
He Finally Learned: No Interviews for Chris Brown in 2012
This decision is either a PR stunt or a sign that Chris Brown and his management have finally learned their lesson about his hot temper. Either way, there will be no interviews for C Breezy in the new year.
According to Necole Bitchie, Chris’s manager Tiny Davis says the comeback kid will be focusing on recording and performing, not answering journalists’ questions:
“We’re not trying to be rude, selfish or disrespectful to anyone in anyway. If people are going to judge anything, judge him for his talent.”
Chris’s biggest appearance this year may very well be attending the Grammy’s. After being ordered to stay away for the past three years, he will be present at this year’s show and hopes to even have a chance to perform, according to a source next to Chris who vouches for his changed ways.
“Chris has grown tremendously as a person, and an artist from that time in his life. [He] has complied with all terms of his probation and has completed most of his court ordered community service. He has been a model probationer, but more importantly, Chris accepted responsibility for what he did.[...]Chris took that experience and vowed to learn from it and become a better person, and he was thrilled and truly humbled that he was nominated for three Grammys. Chris absolutely plans on attending the Grammys and is in talks with producers of the show to possibly perform.”
It’s a shame Team Breezy didn’t figure this whole no-interview thing out in 2011 before he smashed a window at ABC studios and stormed off the set and all. But formal interviews or not, I’m sure Chris will find a way to stay on the media’s radar.
Do you think it’s a good idea for Chris Brown to keep a low profile in 2012? Will you miss him on the scene?

Should Rihanna and Chris Brown Just Get Back Together Already?
It’s been nearly two years since the physical altercation, and resulting media frenzy, between Chris Brown and Rihanna occurred. Since then, both stars have claimed they want to get out from under the shadow of the incident, and judging from the steady rise of Rihanna’s career, and the way Chris was able to bounce back, you could easily say they have. One thing the past lovers haven’t been able to escape, though, is speculation that they still want to be together, and when you look at the subliminal twitter affair they’ve been carrying on for quite some time now, it makes you wonder, should they just do it?
I came across an editorial on Global Grind recently that proclaimed C Breezy and Ri Ri are getting back together. The article was more about BlogXilla’s own infatuation with the celebrity couple as he talked about looking forward to reading daily blog posts and seeing photos of the pair out together. He wrote that he wasn’t ashamed to admit that he had gotten attached to “ChRihanna” and that he could relate to them in ways he can’t relate to Jay-Z and Beyonce. “I’ve been on line kissing my girl while waiting for a two piece and biscuit, and I can say that’s when love is at its finest. That’s when love is at its most pure, and seeing that moment between Rihanna and Chris was an added blessing as a fan.” Of course no couple should ever get together, or back together, to appease their fans but Rihanna seems to be more hurt by the split than onlookers.
There is a non-stop trail of tweets from “Just because I let you go doesn’t mean I wanted to,” to “I’ll always love you,” followed up by “Love U more than you know” from Chris. And then there were those in between tweets from mama Chris: “HELLO LADY I MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU!!!!!! YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!!!!,” to which Rihanna responded: “Miss+Love u 2.” Plus Rihanna petitioned to have the parameters of Chris’s restraining order modified to allow physical contact, so long as it’s not abusive. The situation is utterly and completely speculative but it forms one heck of a case of circumstantial evidence.
If the young lovers truly want to be together, there’s no sense in attempting to keep it on the hush for the sake of disapproving fans who no doubt have just as much drama going on right under their own noses. I’m with BlogXilla when he says spare me the line about the message Rihanna will send young girls if the two reunite. That girl is already sending plenty of messages to teens through her lyrics and the way she dresses. Her position as a celebrity may put her on a pedestal as someone young women emulate but that doesn’t mean she’s a role model. It’s up to parents to set appropriate examples for their children. Besides, the public has clearly forgiven Chris. Is it no OK for her to do the same? Sure, we weren’t the ones who were assaulted but we are the ones who have made his redemption possible by buying his albums and supporting his shows.
It’s tough for anyone to say what they would do in a situation like Rihanna’s and most women don’t leave after the first incident. While I don’t believe the mantra “love makes people do crazy things” excuses Chris’s brutal attack, I do believe in lapses of judgment, mistakes, and opportunities for change.
The media would clearly never make it easy for these stars to reunite but if that’s truly the only thing holding them back, they might as well stop putting on a show at their expense and give most of the public what they really want—a C Breezy, Ri Ri reunion.
What do you think about Rihanna and Chris Brown getting back together? Can you see it happening?

Captain Save Em’: Celebrity Men Who…Well You Know!
Rappers, singers and ball players seem to love video vixens, “models” and strippers. while the rest of the world is confused as to what the fascination with them is. My quick assessment: the women that have become famous are pretty. Men with money – especially these young, “new money” stars – like a pretty face and a nice body. I get it and I’m not even mad at it because some of them have found a lane and made even more money from it.
Let’s see who was saved from their sinking ship…
Chris Brown and Kelly Rowland Dating: Say What?
Apparently when Chris Brown gave Kelly a lap dance to “Take You Down” during his Oct. 2 show, he meant it. According to In Touch (via MediaTakeOut), the duo, who is on tour together, is also dating. An insider says “[Kelly] initially shunned his advances, but ultimately gave in. She’s taking her time. They’re a long way from being in love.”
Hmmm. What do you think about this — rumor or real love? And Kelly, woman to woman – is this a good idea?

Rihanna Drops New Video For “We Found Love” You Likey?
RihRih is never one to shy away from a risque image, and she definitely takes things up a notch with her video “We Found Love,” which sets a storyline of a drug-enhanced love against a pulsating techno beat. Directed by Melina Matsoukas (“Hard,” “S&M,” “Rude Boy,” “Rockstar 101″), the grey video was shot in the UK and shows the ups and downs of a dysfunctional relationship which is dependant on drugs. “We fell in love in a hopeless place” is the chorus.
Many viewers have said that the love interest in the video, played by British model/boxer Dudley O’Shaughnessy, resembles Chris Brown. If that was intentional, then Rihanna played it right. What better way to stir up interest than by subtly poking at your controversial past?
Check out the video on 24wired.tv and let us know what you think.
Chris Brown & Bow Wow Blow $5,000 on Strippers: Why, Men, Why?
TMZ is reporting that Chris Brown and Bow Wow have recently spent a night out on the town doing — what else — popping bottles of champagne and blowing money on strippers. Now, I am not one to judge. People need to do what they need to do in this world to enjoy themselves, and nothing these days seems to be as stressful as being Chris Brown, who can’t seem to keep himself out of the gossip headlines. I want to be understanding of his complex emotional nature that makes him sometimes act out explosively. Better to do it at the club than through violence in real life, right? But something about this story just irks me. Here is what TMZ has to say:
Chris Brown and Bow Wow don’t take their hard-earned money for granted — and to prove just how seriously they take their finances … the rappers dropped $5,000 a pop on MULTIPLE strippers last week.
Bow and Breezy let loose at the King of Diamonds strip club in Miami last Wednesday — the largest strip club on the planet — buying untold bottles of booze for their entourage … and lining the floor with singles.
Sources at the club tell TMZ, at least three dancers walked away with $5,000 in tips … each.
