Rihanna and Chris Brown back together, working it out
Rihanna and Chris Brown are back together?
What?
Yes, you read that right. People.com is reporting that just three short weeks after Brown, 19, allegedly battered his "Umbrella" girlfriend on Feb. 8, they are working things out.
Awwww. Should we cue Tina Turner's "What's Love Gotta To do With It?"
Maybe they're just working out their respective stories, getting things straight so that both of them can come out of this mess looking OK and with salvaged careers.
"They're together again. They care for each other," insists People's source, adding that the back-on lovers are together at one of Sean "Diddy" Combs' luxurious homes on Star Island, in Miami.
Why is Combs involved and giving safe haven to this relationship? What happened to Rihanna's mentor, Jay-Z? Wasn't he gonna lay some whupyouknowwhat on that boy?
Brown reportedly called Rihanna on her 21st birthday last week. "He called to wish her happy birthday," a source told the magazine. "They've reached out to each other. It's been mutual."
According to the New York Daily News,
Brown has been re-wooing Rihanna with jewels, designer shoes, a handbag and the video game "Guitar Hero."
"It doesn't matter what he buys her, though," said the NYDN source. "She loves him. For his part, he knows he screwed up and he is going to try like hell to make sure it doesn't happen again."
Rihanna's father, Ronald Fenty, has told Us Weekly that said he's OK with the couple getting back together. "I love my daughter with whatever road she takes. I'm behind her win or lose. I will be supportive."
Are you surprised Chris and Rihanna got back together? And so soon? Are you happy, shocked, sickened or sad?

Rihanna needs to respect herself and the millions of little girls who look up to her. I felt sorry for her, but if she has gotten back with her abuser, then all I can feel is disgust.
HAPPY FOR DEM!! CONGRATS.
I'm done with caring about her, then.
Does she come from an abusive family? She has now fallen into the cycle of the abused girlfriend. She believes he'll change. He won't. The next time will be worse, and it will continue to get worse until she's killed or nearly so, or he's hauled off to jail.
Whoah! My rap song is 50% outdated.
"Israelis bombed Pals in Gaza Strip.
Chris beat Rihanna in Lamborghini."
But on the bright side, it's 1/2 good news.
How sad.
She has no self esteem and no respect for herself.
I am no longer a fan of hers as she sent the wrong message to females everywhere.
She just made what this loser did, ok.
Music is a tough business and I will bet despite the battering the "us against" them mentality plays a factor. Then of course there is just mutual assured destruction when two volitile people get together.
Stupid, stupid little girl.
She was lucky the first time (if this was the first time) he went off on her.
Next time it might not go so well.
She could do so much better.
Stupid girl. I guess these young women never learn.
The girl lost the courage to be a woman.....
