66Chris Brown and Rihanna Recorded a Duet This Week??

You have GOT to be kidding me.

Producer Polow Da Don said Rihanna and Chris Brown completed a duet earlier this week, but released no other details, said his publicist Laura Wright. “My heart goes out to both Chris and Rihanna for what has happened in the past,” he said. “They are both great artists to work with, and I wish them well.”

I hate that they’re going to get away with this. He’s gonna plead out easy on this court case, since Rihanna won’t testify. They’re gonna have these two release a duet about being so in love like he didn’t kick her ass a few weeks ago. And then everyone’s gonna get so wrapped up in this stupid song that they’re going to forget that he kicked her ass a few weeks ago. And then teenagers (and adults!) everywhere are going to be all like, “Well, I guess it’s occasionally okay when a man beats up his girlfriend. Depends on the circumstances, probably.” And then everything’s just going to be hunky dory until he kills her.

Awesome.

17Rihanna 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?

7Chris Brown’s Other Woman Revealed

As you all know, the big fight that exploded between Rihanna and Chris Brown was over a text message.  Chris was texting with another woman about hooking up.  Now, we know who the other woman is-and it’s kind of creepy.

According to TMZ, the other half of the texting duo is forty-year-old Tina Davis, Chris Brown’s manager.  There have been rumors that she and Chris had a relationship three years ago when he was sixteen.  Thinking back to the one sixteen-year-old I’ve ever had sex with, why would anyone voluntarily sign up for that shit in their late thirties?

This video is a couple of years old; I originally put it up so we could see this chick in action.  When I watched it, and I really had no intention of watching seven minutes of this former Def Jam A&R exec, I was kind of cracking up.  It’s so funny how it the video shows her trying to be all high-powered with her “This track is too west coast, annoying.  Rewrite!” juxtaposed with footage of her painting her fingernails like a stereotypical ditzy 1950′s secretary.

44Quotables

“She better get the hell out. If she goes back, she’s a loser, and she doesn’t deserve to have any future success.”

Donald Trump, to Inside Edition, about Rihanna and Chris Brown.

Ya know, this is the first time in my whole life that I’m glad Donald Trump didn’t keep his big fat mouth shut. We’re agreed here, Mr. Trump.

27Rihanna Is Still In So Much Danger

This whole Rihanna deal is a train wreck that is happening right in front of us.  Like, we are all watching it continue, seeing all the signs and I fear that someday she’ll just end up dead and everyone will be saying “Wow, so sad.”  Overstating things?  I don’t think so.

Rihanna’s father granted US magazine an interview in which he talks about supporting his daughter even though he can’t get in contact with her:

US: What was your reaction after hearing Chris Brown was charged with two felonies?
Fenty: I don’t know how to react. Chris is a very talented guy. I still think he’s a little immature for Rihanna. Justice can never be served in this situation. He can’t feel the pain she felt. I don’t believe in hitting a woman. I hope everything works out better for them. I don’t feel happy or sad. He’s in the court’s hands. Let justice prevail.

US: Have you seen the new police report that details Brown biting, hitting and threatening to kill Rihanna?
Fenty: I haven’t seen anything. I hear so many things. I don’t know what to believe until I see it myself. Rihanna’s mother is telling me that she hasn’t heard anything from her [Rihanna]. She said the last she heard Rihanna was well.

US: If those reports are true, how upset are you?
RF: I don’t know what to say, honest to god. I’ve been hearing so many stories. I don’t feel any pain anymore. I’ve gone numb. I’ve heard so much. But I can’t get on to her. Her mother can’t get on to her, her brother told me she changed her email. Somebody has a stranglehold on her. I’m lost.

US: I know you’ve been speaking with your daughter over text. Is she no longer reachable?
RF: I’ll text the old numbers she had, and I call them. One girl answered, and she said, “This is not Robyn’s number anymore.” I asked, “Do you work for Robyn? Do you deal with Robyn?” And the girl hung up, so I don’t know what’s going on anymore. I’m lost.

Us: What was her last text to you?
RF: [She] said, “Daddy, I miss you.” And that’s it. And I could not reply. I saw a number and texted back, “I miss you too.” And I didn’t get another reply from her.

US: Obviously, you still support her.
RF: Yes, of course. Anyone in my family, I’m there for them. All of my kids, I’m there for them. Rihanna’s no exception. All of them I would support. I would tell them where they go wrong, I’d chastise them when they do s–t, but to be honest with you they have their own life to live.

US: What would you say to Chris Brown if you saw him today?
RF: I would tell Chris, “Don’t ever try again, don’t even think about it.” I’m hurt and disturbed at that scenario.

I don’t understand these people.  As a parent, I really do not.  What’s all this “Chris is a very talented guy,” and “I don’t feel happy or sad,” and “Somebody has a stranglehold on her,” shit?  Are you kidding me?  Chris is the vicious abuser who had a literal stranglehold on her and needs to be in jail.  I don’t even know Rihanna and I feel so sad for her.  What is wrong with this dude?

Now her email and phone numbers have been changed-beyond disturbing.  This is classic abuser behavior.  She is being isolated so that she feels that the only person she can count on is the guy who tried to rearrange her face.

I cannot fathom how these parents can sit by and watch this happen.  Yes, Rihanna is an adult but Rihanna is sick and needs help.  This is what parents do; they help their children.  Adulthood doesn’t change that.  This girl is still young and hopefully has a long life and career ahead of her.  Someone needs to intervene and help her out of this situation, because I guarantee that, today, she cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I hate watching this unfold because I feel like it is going to end so, so badly.

15Much Ado About Nothing

Ok, everyone gathered for the dumbass arraignment and nothing happened.  It’s been extended to April 6.  You know, more time so that a deal can be cut.  Chris was there and looking contrite.  I’ll update this post when I can get a full transcript because TMZ’s sound sucks.  There was definitely some talk between Chris and his attorney, Mark Geragos.  Stay tuned…

Oh, and to be clear, this isn’t a trial-just an arraignment hearing.  This is where Chris will enter his plea, which I’m sure will be “not guilty.”  Then, a trial date will be set within sixty days of his April 6th arraignment.  Unless, of course, aforementioned deal is cut and this never goes to trial.  Which is what I suspect is actually going to happen.

UPDATE: One thing I forgot to mention is that Chris Brown needs to behave himself between now and the sixth of April but Rihanna does not request a protective order against him.  Therefore, he’s allowed to be with her as long as he doesn’t punch her.

UPDATE: Okay, at the end of the feed, there was a brief conversation between Chris and the attorney that was there to represent Rihanna, Donald Etra.  Etra told Chris that Rihanna wants this over as soon as possible.  Sigh.  Sad.
