More rumours..
Are Chris Brown and Rihanna broken up, or aren’t they?
At issue are a flurry of text messages that reportedly were exchanged between the two after Brown was photographed in a West Hollywood tattoo parlor with Girlicious singer Natalie Meji on April 13.
“When Ri saw the pictures, she sent Chris a text message, and Chris said, ‘It’s none of your business,’ ” reported Us Weekly.
Brown’s rep denies that the two are dating, and told People magazine that the singer was at the parlor with “a woman named Dean,” but Mejia seems to think differently.
“Things are going well between us. … (Brown) has treated me like a gentleman at all times,” she told RadarOnline.com on April 13.
Brown and Rihanna have yet to confirm that they’ve parted ways. Rihanna recently announced she will give her first live performance since the alleged assault with a May 28 concert in Dubai.

Our sources say tomorrow’s Chris Brown hearing will not end with a plea bargain, although we know both sides are deep in discussion. But it looks like Rihanna could score something big.
Rihanna’s lawyer is asking the judge to release the jewelry Rihanna was wearing when she was beaten. The jewelry was taken as evidence just after the beating and she wants it back — it was on loan from jewelers and they either want her to fork it over or pay $1.4 mil.
We’re told the cops would like to return it as well. There are reports the D.A. is objecting to returning it –
reportedly for leverage so Rihanna will cooperate. But our sources say the D.A. has not taken a position.
Rihanna’s lawyer and Brown’s lawyer want to take photos of the jewelry and use them if the jewelry ever becomes evidence in a trial. But legally, her lawyer doesn’t have authority to appear in Brown’s case — in legalese her lawyer doesn’t have “standing.” So the judge could simply refuse to hear Rihanna’s lawyer.
Will the judge release the hostage jewelry? Stay tuned! Hearing is tomorrow.

Progress has been made on a plea deal for Chris Brown, a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com exclusively.
Brown is facing two felony charges for his altercation with Rhianna. Cops say he brutally beat her in his car on Feb. 8.
Court action in the case resumes Wednesday when the parties will try to set a date for Brown’s preliminary hearing. He’s charged with assault likely to cause great bodily injury and making criminal threats.
Brown signed a waiver and is not expected to be in court Wednesday.
Meanwhile, one source close to the situation says progress has been made on plea deal talks. Even so, that source tells RadarOnline.com, there are still issues to be worked out and a deal is “close, but not imminent.”
The source says barring a last-minute breakthrough it is unlikely a deal will be announced Wednesday but both sides have moved closer together.
It is still uncertain what is preventing a deal from being closed by the District Attorney’s office and Brown’s attorney Mark Geragos.
If no deal is reached and the case progresses to the preliminary hearing stage, the case against Brown will be presented to a judge, and that certainly won’t be pretty for the singer. One photo that surfaced of Rihanna after the incident showed her face beaten badly.

Just got some interesting news. Website Islandista is reportng that at a concert in Barbados this past weekend reggae susperstar Beenie Man performed for an audience which included Rihanna.
MediaTakeOut.com claims that during Beenie’s performance, he called out Chris Brown – in front of nearly 10,000 fans. Here’s how Islandista is reporting it:
Beenie touched the stage at about 7:30 and gave a generally decent performance – certainly the crowd was with him.
Then … he start calling for Rihanna to “report back stage immediately”.
And then he start talking up a set of things about the infamous beating incident between her and Chris Brown, asking the crowd if they [thought] it was “an idiot thing that Chris did” while singing a very off-key version of the hook to ‘Umbrella’. You could hear a collective ‘ooooohhhh!’ as the crowd sucked in its breath when he said it.
For most that would be enough, but not for Beenie. He continued on his rampage:
Beenie kept calling for [Rihanna] and singing ‘Umbrella’ and lo and behold, she actually came up on the stage. Then he start singing his version of Umbrella , part of which went “I don’t have no fancy car/But [I’ll] never give you no scar”.
Trust me. I was shame for de girl. Everyone was shame because the crowd didn’t really hype up and carry on the way they had been earlier when he was just performing all his hits. I just wanted it to end.
This sounds painful … but it doesn’t end there:
But Beenie wasn’t done. He told her that Chris [will] get vexed when he sees the pictures of him (Beenie) and Rihanna hugging up on stage because he is the ‘girls dem suga’ and anything the sugar touches get sticky.

In a recent interview Hot 107.9 had with Shontelle backstage at a concert, she was asked about Chris Brown and Rihanna:
You are from Barbados, you know Rihanna, a good friend. What’s the deal with princess RiRi and Chris Brown right now? You gotta gimme the inside scoop ya know, because I know you guys went to camp etc together.
“Yeah, well I mean, as far as I know they broke up, I’m not asking any questions that’s their personal lives but I’m just glad to know that she’s back up and she is having the time of her life. She’s at home in Barbados right now and I don’t know the last time I went home or the next time I’m going there. So right now I’m really jealous of her.”

Rihanna lost more than her innocence the night she was allegedly beat up by Chris Brown — she’s also out $1.4 million in jewelry.
RiRi is asking the cops to hand back a pair of earrings and three rings the cops logged as evidence on the night in question. And get this — the jewelry isn’t even hers. According to docs, the bling belonged to four companies which loaned it to her for the pre-Grammy party she attended with Brown that night.
Rihanna’s attorney, Donald Etra, claims he asked for the jewelry back earlier this month and submitted written requests on April 7 and April 17. Etra also claims that Brown’s attorney, Mark Geragos, has no problem with the jewelry being released.
The earrings are described as yellow metal hoop earrings with white stones. The first ring is a yellow metal ring with white stones and green stones. The second and third rings are described as being yellow metal rings with white stones.
Brown faces a felony assault charge and a charge of making criminal threats.
