good morning! the cover of the latest STAR magazine is claiming rihanna is still in love with her abusive boyfriend chris brown which might be true ... she did spend about a year with him (here's their relationship timeline) i'm sure the couple had ups & downs like every relationship does but when things turn ugly and physical like they recently did ... it's time to jump ship (sadly - it's sometimes easier said than done) this whole situation is still shocking to me - if anyone had told me a few weeks ago that this would happen - i would've thought they were crazy! i'm still curious to hear what ms. fenty has to say about the situation (chris issued this apology which is pretty weak - rihanna is rumored to feel the same way) there's been tons of speculation and so many rumors - i'd like for her to set the record straight (perhaps on oprah?)
as for mr. brown who i always thought was way adorable & super talented - it's going to be very hard for him to get past this - he messed with the wrong girl - chris will be 'forever' regretting the moment he put his hands on her! like everyone else - i wonder what will transpire over the next few weeks with this icky scandal? i hope she doesn't decide to give their relationship another go like the magazine suggests yet we all know people do what they want to do ... no matter what others may say! (that's why i try to avoid giving relationship advice - nobody ever listens)
in other stories we've got romance (and a possible engagement) between jennifer aniston & john mayer ... right above octomom nadya suleman who definitely has a thing for angelina jolie no matter what she says ( brad pitt should watch his back) girlfriend is totally off her rocker - those poor kids! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
Chris Brown left her bruised and battered, but, according to friends, Rihanna can't help her deep feelings for her boyfriend of more than a year. In the March 2 issue of Star we report that, to the shock of many, the singer has stayed in touch with her battering beau - and her unhealthy devotion to him is making those close to the abused singer worried sick.
"She keeps saying she wants to make sure that he's okay," a friend tells Star. "She thinks this will all just blow over and they can go back to how they were." SOURCE

you know -- having been in an abusive relationship before -- just because you leave doesn't mean you stop loving the person right away. It can take years, if you ever really stop. (love & hate can coexist, unfortunately.)
