3 Reasons We're Angry About Rihanna Secretly Seeing Chris Brown

Why these two stars owe it to themselves and their fans to stay away from each other for good.

Today, we are certain of two things: 1. Censoring the web with the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) needs to be fought against, and 2. Rihanna and Chris Brown should not be hooking up.

Do You Agree That Rihanna Is 2011's Sexiest Woman Alive?

From poverty in Barbados to moving on after Chris Brown and ruling the charts, Rihanna is on fire.

Personally, we are ecstatic to find out that Rihanna has been named the "Sexiest Woman Alive" this year by Esquire. (How do we get named sexiest woman)? For a woman who is naturally sexual, it isn't hard to tell why they would pick the singer—she's spent the whole summer steaming up stages across the world. At just 16, Rihanna moved to the U.S. from Barbados. Now, 23, she has a lot behind her, including a ton of hit singles and an unhealthy, abusive relationship with Chris Brown that ended just two years ago (it's really only been two years?)

Will Chris Brown Ever Be Ready To 'Think Like A Man'?

Chris Brown is set to star in new movie "Think Like a Man," but is he man enough?

Ladies, I think we need to have a real talk with Tim Story, the director of "Think Like a Man," the upcoming film (April 2012) based on Steve Harvey’s bestselling relationship advice guide, "Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man." So far, the studio has been stacking the odds of success in their favor with a roster of actors that includes heartthrob Michael Ealy, Black romantic comedy staple Gabrielle Union, and Oscar nominee Taraji P. Henson. On Sunday, the studio announced that it had completed casting, adding two final names to the line up: It Girl LaLa Vazquez…and Chris Brown?

Does Rihanna Have Lesbian Tendencies?

A new book is claiming that Rihanna may be seeking love from the ladies....fact or fiction?

Is Rihanna hiding a little secret? Huh Ri Ri? Most of the time when a celebrity "comes out of the closet" we aren't shocked, I mean; Ricky Martin, Ellen, I think we all had an idea when we watched that one go down from the sidelines, but Rihanna?

Chris Brown Wants It All To Go Away

Chris Brown Wishes Rihanna Would Stop Talking

"Some things should remain private," he says to MTV.

Well, of course he does. D'uh. Even though he had told MTV that "there is nothing that could come out that's like, 'OK, this is something totally different than what we know," in regards to Rihanna's interview, now, after the fact, he has issued a statement asking for privacy:

Are Apologies Enough After Domestic Abuse?

Chris Brown issued an apology for assaulting Rihanna, but is more needed to end the abuse cycle?

After being accused of assaulting his ex-girlfriend and world famous pop star Rihanna, Chris Brown pleaded guilty to felony assault charges. While the assault occurred back in February, not much was heard from Brown, apparently on the request of his lawyers, until now. Hollywood Life reported that the R&B singer issued a video apology where he accepted responsibility, expressed remorse and promised to take steps to ensure he does not repeat his abuse. Read: The Real Reason For Chris Brown's Apology It can be argued whether Brown's apology was sincere or whether it was just a ploy to win back fans, but the bigger question remains as to just how far does an apology go in a domestic violence situation. Rihanna had the means and capability of leaving Brown after he assaulted her, but many women who suffer from domestic abuse do not have the same power.
