A source close to American Idol has told E! that producers are in talks with Chris Brown and Rihanna about performing together on the show this season.

“They want Chris and Rihanna to reunite on the show,” the insider says.

If the rumor is true, it will be their first public appearance together since 2009, when Brown was arrested for assaulting Rihanna.

The last time they appeared onstage together was in 2008—and, judging by the controversy kicked up by Brown’s performance (and win) at the Grammys this month, plenty of critics would react harshly to the pair collaborating on stage.

But if this did happen, which song would they do—assuming that the pair’s two just-released remixes would be the likely choices? It’s unlikely they could perform Rihanna’s sexually charged “Birthday Cake,” which may be too risqué for prime time, so maybe they’d do Brown’s “Turn Up the Music”? Or something else entirely?

Rihanna’s rep denied the rumor, saying, “It’s not true.”

But in any case, Fox has not yet approved the pairing, our source tells us, adding that the idea is still in the very early stages of discussion.
The network had no comment.

I will be so upset if the rumors are true. I know a lot of you think I just need to get over this – and move on – but I do not think it’s appropriate for them to be on stage together again. Especially on a family-friendly show like American Idol. Idol is obviously hurting for ratings, and know that this would put a spike of interest in the show.

What do you think about the two of them performing together again?

Don’t try to take Chris Brown’s photo, ya’ll.   A woman in Miami filed a police report after Chris swiped the iPhone out of her hands and drove away!

Chris and rapper Tyga were leaving Cameo nightclub together when a woman snapped their photo.  Chris said  “B****, you ain’t going to put that on no website”, grabbed her phone and rode off into the night.

Miami police confirmed the news, but said so far there hasn’t been any arrest warrant issued.  Chris is still on probation, so this could mean serious trouble for him if it’s proven to be true.  According to the police report:

a felony offense listed as a “robbery by sudden snatching”

I would be LIVID if someone did that to my iPhone!  But I also have no desire to whip out my iPhone and snap celebrities.  In fact, just a few weeks ago I was in the presence of Halle Berry, but just couldn’t bring myself to take her picture even though she wouldn’t have known.  Could you/would you do it?

Chris Brown and Rihanna have not only recorded ONE song together, they’ve recorded TWO songs together.

Yesterday afternoon, the former couple both released remixes featuring each other. Chris Brown sang on Rihanna’s “Birthday Cake”, and Rihanna joined in on Chris’s “Turn Up The Music.”

The songs dropped at the same time.

Even though many of us aren’t able to forgive Chris, it’s obvious that Rihanna has. Here are some of the lyrics from their songs. Rihanna sang on Brown’s song the words, “I love you baby,” and Chris singing on “Birthday Cake”: “Girl I wanna f**k you right now. Been a long time, I’ve been missing your body,” only further fuels rumors the two have being seeing each other in secret.

Listen below!

Chris Brown is embroiled in another Twitter war.  This time it’s with WWE wrestler CM Punk.  It all started with CM Punk Tweeting that he’d like to curb stomp Chris.

He Tweeted:  I would like @chrisbrown fight somebody that can defend themselves. Me curb stomping that turd would be a #wrestlemania moment.

And in true Chris Brown fashion, instead of taking the high road and letting it roll off, he lashed back:

“@CMpunk needs more followers. He’s such a leader! Not to mention the roids hes on has made it utterly impossible for him pleasure a women.”

And in his trademark sarcastic tone … Brown added, “@CMpunk contact my assistant and I’ll have em send u an autographed pic for my biggest FAN!!!”

 

Chris needs to stop with all that Twitter rage.  It’s not doing a thing for his image.  He just comes off as angry and immature.  I know everyone seems to be evenly split on where they stand with Chris, but seriously, blowing up at every single person who hates on him isn’t going to help anything.

When I read this story, I thought there’s no way she’d actually perform a new song with him… right? Well, according to Life & Style, the troubled couple have recorded a duet together, and it’s supposed to drop next week.

“Rihanna’s dropping a new single next week, and Chris is going to be featured on it,” an insider tells Life & Style. “It’s going to be a full version of an interlude titled ‘Birthday Cake’ from [her latest album] Talk That Talk.”

And in another big step forward for the exes — who split in 2009 after Chris assaulted Rihanna — the two singers are once again on good terms, Chris’ rep has confirmed to Life & Style.

“Chris and Rihanna are friends again,” his rep tells Life & Style. But the rep denies that the exes have rekindled their romance. “They’re just friends,” the rep adds

Signs of a collaboration had been mounting for some time. Earlier this month, Rihanna responded to a tweet about when her fans could expect a full version “Birthday Cake” with: “I promised! 1st on the agenda ’12 #CAKE.”

Adding fuel to the fire, producers Da Internz confirmed the song would be released this month.

“Both our bdays & @rihanna’s bday [are] in FEB, & this is the month we release FULL VERSION OF #CAKE. MOVIE SCRIPT S–T PEOPLE,” they he said: “It’s gonna be crazy. And the feature on there is gonna shock the world.”

And just 11 days after that, Chris and Rihanna were spotted going into the same recording studio in LA.

Three years ago this month, Chris brutally attacked Rihanna after a Grammy party. In June 2009, he pleaded guilty to felony assault and received up to five years’ probation.

A restraining order was issued, but in February 2011 it was downgraded to a level-one order, which allows Chris to have contact with Rihanna.

“I’m a fan of his stuff. I’ve always been a fan,” Rihanna has said about Chris since the assault. “Obviously, I had some resentment toward him for a while, for obvious reasons. But I’ve put that behind me. It was taking up too much of my time. It was too much anger. I’m really excited to see the breakthrough he’s had in his career. I would never wish anything horrible for him. Never. I never have.”

Reps for neither Chris nor Rihanna would confirm or deny that the song will be released.

I really hope it’s not true, but if it is…it would make so much sense. They have been spending a lot of time together, and several sources claim the two have gotten cozy again. I just don’t know how I feel about a Rihanna/Chris Brown duet!?

Here’s an open letter that Billboard Magazine just posted to Rihanna, regarding her relationship with Chris Brown. It’s surprisingly long – and worth the read. Read below!

Dearest Rih Rih:

A few months ago – before “Talk That Talk” gave you another Top 10 album on the Billboard 200, before you performed “We Found Love” and “Princess of China” at the Grammy Awards, before new rumors swirled that you were engaged in a secret romance with past flame Chris Brown, and certainly before yesterday’s reported news that Breezy was the guest star on your forthcoming “Birthday Cake” remix – you appeared on “Ellen” to discuss being named the sexiest woman alive by Esquire, among other things. During your interview, you shared your feelings on the concept of being a role model, and why, recently, you have not adhered to this expected albatross of musical stardom.

“I used to worry about it a lot. Then I realized the message I really want to send is not perfection – it’s individuality,” you said in the November 2011 sit-down. “Being who you really are, knowing who you really are and being just that. There’s only one of you, so just be that.”

Over the past few weeks, as new murmurs linking you and Chris Brown became shouts, I kept thinking about your words, kept rolling them around in my mind and trying to make sense of the key word in your declaration, “individuality.” Over the course of your career, your ability to adopt new looks and sounds without losing your indispensable sense of self has been nothing short of staggering, and has no doubt become the bedrock of your longevity. From the dancehall princess of “Pon de Replay” to the stylish hip-pop diva of “Umbrella” to the militant provocateur of “Hard” to the sex-starved rave maven of “S&M,” no one — not even Madonna! — has been able to strike so many successful poses in such a short amount of time. It’s been damn impressive to witness, and even more fun to listen to. CONTINUE READING (more…)

Chris Brown attended Rihanna’s birthday party on Monday night, and he was very paranoid people were going to find out about it. The a**hole singer was so freaked out about keeping his attendance a secret, he actually tried to force partygoers to sign a confidentiality agreement.

According to TMZ, Chris refused to enter the private party at the famous Hearst Mansion in Beverly Hills until everyone inside signed a NDA. He sent his people in beforehand to gather the signatures.

Everyone didn’t sign, but Chris went in anyway, and ended up spending most of his night all over Rihanna.

According to sources, the two got real intimate — sitting next to each other, talking, and holding hands … all perfectly legal ever since the restraining order was lifted.

As for the rest of the party — we’re told it was jam-packed with celebs including Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, and Chris Martin (no Gwyneth).

Rihanna’s cake was pretty badass too — a giant spliff … with a small Rihanna made out of icing, riding it like a horse.
