There has been much speculation regarding the current status of Rihanna and Chris Brown’s relationship. Especially considering the seemingly never-ending love triangle that he’s dragged his ex-girlfriend and stylist Karrueche Tran and Rih Rih into ever since he released a video where he expressed that he was in love with two women.  Since then, media outlets have been burning up with news that Chris has been spending substantial amounts of time with both women; something neither of them are reported to be happy about. Many have waited and Twitter-stalked with anticipation to see which lady would walk away with Breezy’s heart once and for all and while we may not have the answer to that burning question just yet, we have been provided with a bit more insight into the nature of Chris and Rihanna’s relationship as the two were seen cuddled up courtside on Christmas Day at the Lakers game.

This is the second major holiday the two have spent together since the two reunited this year and according to Necole Bitchie, the couple’s first official “public date” since 2009.

It is being reported by TMZ that Chris and Rihanna, who wore matching black ensembles, arrived to The Staples Center together, but exited their vehicle separately and later reunited inside of the arena at their courtside seats.

Cameras spotted the couple all cozied up and thoroughly enjoying one another’s company at several points during the game. But catch this, the happy couple didn’t even bother sticking around to see who won the game. It is being reported that they dipped out  a mere three minutes before the game ended.

While Team Rihanna seems to have won this particular battle in the war for Chris Brown’s heart, one can’t say for sure if she’ll be the last woman standing as Chris has been doing a lot of back and forth between her and Karrueche lately.

All of the nosy folks can check out more pics of these two getting courtside cuddly on the next page. What do you think of Chris and Rihanna spending Christmas together? Are both ladies fighting a battle they’ll never win?

I guess love was in the Los Angeles air pretty strongly for Valentine’s Day yesterday because it was enough to bring Kobe and Vanessa Bryant back together.

I’m pretty sure every fan’s jaw dropped when Vanessa marched into the Staple’s Center for the first time this season during the third quarter of last night’s game and took a seat right behind the Laker’s bench—wearing a red top and showing a lot of cleavage nonetheless. The two didn’t leave any thoughts of reconciliation up to speculation, Vanessa was cheering her assumed soon-to-be ex on hardcore an after the game, Vanessa and Kobe were seen sharing a serious kiss before he even got a chance to shower.

Either Kobe’s trying to get a house and some of that $75 mil back, or these two are really giving their relationship another try. Since the divorce won’t be final until mid-June, they’ve definitely got time to put this whole thing behind them. The question is, should they?

Are you surprised Vanessa was at Kobe’s game last night? Do you think it was just a Valentine’s Day rendezvous or could they be getting back together?
