Is Rihanna Really Going to Take Him Back?

If Chris Brown can have a career, then clearly anyone can. Record your own music with this free recording software.


Rihanna and Chris Brown returned yesterday to Los Angeles after what some were calling a "reconciliation" weekend at a Miami-area home owned by Sean "Diddy" Combs.

Photos on celebrity news site TMZ appeared to show Brown, 19, and Rihanna, 21, arriving on the West Coast via private jet early yesterday, after a weekend at Combs' Star Island mansion.

The reunion came three weeks after Brown allegedly assaulted the "Disturbia" singer during a pre-Grammy ceremony altercation.

While Rihanna apparently kept a low profile during the Florida getaway, Brown was photographed jet skiing in the waters around the Combs compound.

Some sources told Us magazine that Brown will be arraigned in Los Angeles on Thursday on charges stemming from the duo's Feb. 8 altercation.

Since then, Rihanna has reportedly traveled alone to Los Angeles, Mexico and her native Barbados, while Brown has spent time in Las Vegas and his Virginia hometown.

Rihanna's father this weekend told Us magazine that he supported his daughter's decision -- whether it was to stay with Brown or end the relationship.

"I'm behind her, win or lose," Ronald Fenty told Us. "I will be supportive. If that's the road she wants to choose, I'm behind her. I hope to see her soon. I talked to her after her birthday, and she told me she's OK."

People magazine reports that Brown called Rihanna on her 21st birthday, one week ago. "He called to wish her happy birthday," a source told the magazine.

"They've reached out to each other. It's been mutual."
