Rihanna Celebrates 21st Birthday Sans Chris Brown

I had dinner with a friend last night, and she was like, “Okay, if you’re the publicist for Rihanna or Chris Brown, how do you go about re-introducing them as a couple? After everything that happened?”

I was like, “Ya know, you do it slowly. You send them both out in public separately, probably to a club. Show them acting normal with friends. Then you have them both release singles about nothing romantic — just poppy songs about partying and drinking and dancing. Get the public used to them again as individuals, so they can forget who they’ve become as a couple.”

And it’s beginning, with Rihanna hitting up hotspot Coco de Ville for a belated 21st birthday celebration last night.

Starting around midnight, the “Disturbia” singer was joined by friends, including Bromance bros Frankie Delgado and Taylor Mosher, on their own private patio. She blew out birthday candles atop pink cupcakes and washed down the treats with complimentary champagne.

A source tells E! News that the starlet “looked good, was smiling and laughing in good spirits upon leaving.”

She wore sunglasses as she departed the club around 4 a.m. in a red pickup truck. The source claims her caravan, including the truck, a black SUV and another car, were only followed by a few of the “35-plus paparazzi outside.”

Anyone wanna take bets on how long it’ll be before she and Chris start showing up at events together?

  • I heard somewhere she hit him first? Which is totally unacceptable as well. Frankly, I wish they’d both go away and I do not want to support their music ever again. I never liked Chris Browns but I did love Rihanna’s.

    • Honestly, Jen, I agree completely with you. I actually couldn’t have said it better myself.

      Oh, well. As it were, they’re both ridiculous for doing the things they’ve done and how they’ve perpetuated this situation, anyway.

      • I don’t agree people should go around beating womens asses. But when you’re aware your boyfriend or Girlfriend is abusive, mentally, emotionally and or physically its your CHOICE to stay there.

        If you love him, then obviously you love the feel of his hands wrapped around your throat too. Thats a kind of love I hope I never find. Sorry.

  • I just wish either of them would set a good example for my high school students who adore their music and issue a statement condemning domestic violence.

  • A good publicist will tell her it’s career suicide to get back with him and a good friend will tell her it’s suicide to get back with him.

  • Seconded. They should appear in public together again never. They should appear in private again never. You can forgive a cheater, but not a beater.

  • Please stop judging no one’s life is perfect, people argue and fight, be honest and keep it real!! I’m glad to see her out and can’t wait to see them together. I’m confident they have learned their lesson and through prayer, counseling and true frienship support they will get through this. My kids are fans of them both and I don’t mind their music, is much better than hearing Lil Wayne , especially when an 8 year old likes that disrespectful garbage and a 14 year old son who encourages that mess!!! Every chance I get I turn off the radio to those tunes. CB & Rhi keep your heads up.. They both are young adults and its obvious a mistake was made and things got to out of control. No one should be hitting anyone. period, point blank

    • A mistake is when you slap some one when they have said something hateful or cruel and then apologize.

      Beat the shit out of someone so they have to go to the hospital? That is not a mistake. Fuck, if you were my mom I’d smack you for being so f-in retarded.
      Mistake my ass.
