Yesterday the news came out that Chris Brown and Rihanna were working on a duet together. We were hoping it wasn’t true, as it just made their cringe inducing reunion all the more real and potentially more public if the song is ever released. It is true, according to TMZ, and Rihanna and her abuser made the decision to record the duet from a song originally intended for her alone. A producer named Polow Da Don is said to have come up with the brilliant idea and to have talked them into it.
The whole thing came together when they decided to reconcile shortly after the attack. Sources tell us music producer Polow Da Don convinced both Chris and Rihanna to get in the studio and record a love song stat, stressing that timing was important because the heightened emotions would translate powerfully into the music.
Both Rihanna and Chris agreed and snuck in a couple of “late night” sessions that we’re told were “very, very emotional … the feeling in the room was pure love.” Clearly, love hurts.
As for how they got along, they were “playfully touching each other.”
We’re told the song was originally written for Rihanna before the fight, but after the beat down the producer believed the track — which ironically focuses on overcoming difficult challenges as a couple — would be the perfect duet.
[From TMZ]
What kind of message are Brown and Rihanna sending young fans by not only getting back together, but recording a song that will probably emphasize how you can triumph over adversity as a couple? Young women need to be told that you leave abusers immediately and press charges, not that you can “work it out” after he hits you.
I want to think that major record companies will realize that this song is too controversial to release, but it’s not like the decision-makers will suddenly grow scruples. It’s about money, and if a duet emphasizing reconciliation after he beats the shit out of you is popular, that’s all that matters. Maybe some radio stations will boycott it at least.
Meanwhile Diddy was on Ellen to explain why he let Chris Brown and Rihanna stay at this Miami home after the beating incident. Contrary to prior reports, he didn’t say that Brown tricked him by initially asking to stay there alone. He defended himself by saying “I’m not going to pass judgment on it. I’m going to be there as a friend.” Diddy did say that “I don’t think it’s right for anybody to hit anybody.”
Nickelodeon has refused to remove Chris Brown as a nominee for the Kids Choice Awards, which air March 28. He is not thought to be planning to attend, though. That’s a shame, because they could have slimed him with something foul smelling that would never wash out. Maybe then his few remaining sponsors and fans would wise up and avoid him like the plague.

What will they record a cover of The Prodigy’s Smack my bitch up? Honestly, you couldn’t make it up if you wanted to…
I think ‘He Hit Me..And It Felt Like A Kiss’ could work as well.
HA, ya’ll took the words outta my mouth. This story gets more disgusting every day.
This makes me sick!
Rihanna hit Chris Brown many times before this major accident. She slaped him several times in the past and he never replied. She said it. She slaped him and hit him firts that day to. If a man don’t have to hit a woman, what is absolutly right, a woman don’t have either.
I think rihanna and Brown have a passionate relationship, in the wrong sense. Rihanna says she coudn’t handle seeing Brown with a another girl, that’s why she took him back. It describe perfectly the nature of their relationship. This is a passionate relationship, destructive and of course violent. Famous teenagers always have complicated relationship because there’re not rise in a family structure which make them feel protected. They have emotional problem. It’s true for almost grown up kids or teen celebs. They both need help. There is another things I didn’t see on your site: The message chris brown received on his phone was from his manager who dated him when he was only 16! She’s turning 40 now. Go on TMZ you will read the entire story. I’m sorry but I think the owner of this site is not impartial, you have to give all the news and not select what is ok with your personal statement. Rihanna is a victim, yes, I think Chris is to blame but he ‘s in some way also a victim in their relationship.
IF this is indeed true then, way to go on promote and encourage your abuser Rihanna. I truly hope she realizes in time that Chris Brown is being sweet to her now so he does not go to jail and gain some positive publicity back through her and once he does that, I bet he will drop her like a hot potato. Rihanna is stupid enough to let this 19 year old piece of sh*t use and abuse her all over gain. BLAH. Whatever, I just wish they would not do this so publicly and give the wrong message to their fans.
Btw, I agree, women too should not abuse/ hit men but Chris Brown can’t use the self defense card because a few slaps (I presume the weak types, that women give when they are mad) does not justify and do not give men the right to use FULL force and start fighting dirty like Chris Brown did with the hard punching, kicking, biting and choking her almost unconscious.
Lily- are you smoking crack? He beat the sh*t out of her. What did she do to him? Where were his bruises? His bloody lip? How can people continue to protect this guy? It is NEVER ok to hit a woman, ever. Both of them are nuts, and I will never be able to watch or listen to either of them again. The example this is setting for teenagers is wrong.
Lily, did you receive a threatening call from Chris Brown also? Why you defending his ass? If Rhi Rhi slapped him, I’m sure the little shit had it coming. Was it right? No…BUT there is no comparison in slapping a person to choking the crap out of them intentionally trying to kill them. Do you understand the difference in their physical actions?
As for Rhi Rhi going back. She is stupid. All the licensed psychologists that come on here and say she is the victim and it is not her fault that she is in the abused pattern..blah blah blah. She knows better and has the means to leave him. I can understand when you have kids and no money but this chick has nothing holding her back. I lost respect for her as a woman. Lot’s of people are bringing the racist card into the mix but that has nothing to do with it. She is a woman and from the beginning of time, we have always had to fight for some kinds of rights. Rhianna has just pushed our victories through the decades back a few years with her bullshit. Sorry, no pitty here
Once you start an abusive relation, you stablish a link that is stronger than any other emotion or reflexion. It’s sad, but it’s the violence what keep them going strong, they are in a bubble and nobody can reach them.
Lily there is a difference between a smack on the face and beating the shit out of your partner. Both are wrong. Brown almost KILLED rihanna. I bet if you nearly got killed at the hands of your abuser you would be the first in line to make sure he got his, because him hitting you would be such an injustice. And it wouldn’t matter that you slapped him first.
Sometimes one just wants to throw up.
I feel that she is inlove, just like any other woman who has fallen inlove. Yes, he hit her, and more than likely… it will happen again, but no one can say anything to her to make her leave him until she is good and ready. This won’t be the first celebrity couple who have problems and it won’t be the last either. Things happen. I think they where both wrong, but at the same time, I’m happy they are back together. My boyfriend hits me too, but I feel like I deserve it, because I provoke him to do it. I hit him too. If you put yourself in a man’s position, you should be treated like one. I hope she can handle what she’s getting in too and she’s in my prayers.
Barf!!!!! Did everyone happen to notice that Chris Brown came out of this without a scratch? If 105 lb Rhianna gave him a slap down, where were his cuts and bruises? I know this cycle of violence to well becasue I grew up with it and until she leaves, it will continue. Once that boundry is crossed, there is no going back. LEAVE HIM. A man who hits you does not know what love is.
I find it highly offensive that Nickelodeon did not remove Chris from the kids choice. Yes, it should be the kids choice but, your children should not have the choice of an abuser.
let’s just vote for the pedophiles while we’re at it.
no comment on the duet. I hope stations refuse to play any such song if it comes to light.
Mrs. Williamson: I sincerely hope that is a troll comment. Taken at face value. You should not hit him. You do not deserve to be hit. Is that really the relationship you want to be in? The way you want to live? If you don’t get along well enough to not hit each other then you should find someone with whom you can, at the very least respect and respect yourself.

this is the link to the remove Chris Brown & Rihanna from the Nick Choice awards petition
my apologies this is the front page
http://new.petitiononline.com/cbrh1968/petition.html
This is all about money, plain and simple. As you all can see, beat downs, violence, choking into unconsciousness, etc. etc., etc. does not mean a thing to P.Diddy or anyone surrounding these two. It is all about making as much money on them as possible. As Daffy Duck once said, “Consequences Schmonsequences, as long as I’m rich.”
Davo, Smack My Bitch: refers to smack as in heroin, not beating.
Oops – Smack my bitch UP. durned lack of ‘edit’.
Thank you for allowing the link to go up. Thank you also for pointing out that he was still up for consideration. Silly me had assumed that a company who caters to children should know better.
I had nearly missed the fact because I read the title and thought… UNCLE
I sent out a mass email with the link. I’m reading Chris pulled his own name. Rihanna is still on the ballot. I hope everyone signs the petition and Nick learns a very valuable lesson about being a children’s channel and therefore being held to a higher standard than E! or MTV. The fact that Nick didn’t step up right away and remove him makes my blood boil. I assumed such action would be taken. For heavens sake show some morals!
You know, I think that people are hearing “abuse” and thinking that he “only” hit her. I think that’s wrong, healthy people don’t hit each other as an expression of anger but this Chris Brown Rihanna situation is not “hitting”. He knocked the shit out of her, he smashed her face against the car, bit her, busted her lip, gave her a black eye and knocked her out cold then left her on the side of the road in a car.
Yeah, maybe she slapped him and that set him off. Maybe she had slapped him a few times in the past. Getting slapped is not the same as getting beat up to the point where you have to go to the hospital. Do you see the difference, Lily?
Man, this is so sickening. This is such a bad message to send to thousands of impressionable young fans… Is money and recovering an image all that’s important to these people? All that’s important to people “advising” them and “talking them into” things like this? It’s so incredibly sad and I hope this song never gets released.
Yuck, won’t listen to it. It’s a classic manipulative tactic — see everything’s all right.
So Lily, you were with them 24/7 too have this intimate, personal knowledge?
Sister, you need to be educated, “self-defense” is a common defense made by batterers —

Okay, I stopped reading at Lily’s comment.
I guess the bitch had it comin’, then, right?
Lily, your bad spelling pretty much goes along with your bad sentiment. Slaped? Is that from “to slape”? Slaping?
I’m sorry for my spelling. I am german, I live in Germany. I speak three languages, I can’t write perfectly each one of them for the moment. But I don’t think this is important right now. We’re debating not taking an english test, right? Don’t try personal attack, it’s ridiculous and don’t make you wiser.
Chris Brown is a 19 year old youngster that made a mistake just like many of the media folks that have blown this incident up so huge. So when these folks were youngsters I will bet you that they did something as irresponsible or possibly worst and needed and prayed for the chance to redeem themselves. None of these folks were present when Chris Brown and Rhiana had their quarrel. I am a true believer that a man should not hit a woman. By the same token a woman should not hit a man because every man reacts differently to a physical attack coming from an opponent. This is a young man that apparently did not know how to deal smartly with this kind of situation. If it had been my daughter or sister being attacked by a male I would be highly upset about. But America has to be careful and not create a monster here. I am sure that this young fellow has already suffered from this incident, and in his heart he know he made a mistake and want an opportunity to redeem himself just like we all have at some point in our life. Are we all perfect? Hell no. Did some of us do something just as bad that we regretted? Hell yes.
P.S. There was a case where a man was beheaded on a
bus in his sleep. The animal that beheaded this man got off on insanity. How you think the victim’s family felt about this? Why is Chris Brown and Rihana making more headlines than something as insane as this America? Tommy Lee and Pam Anderson didn’t get this much attention and they were older celebrities that had many quarrels and opportunities to learn from their mistakes. America, it time to get up off this kid because he has already been SLAMMED. Have U been perfect all your life?
the minute she returned to the woman beater i lost all interest in her. i don’t want to read, listen or hear about her cause she is beneath all the ordinary women like me who manage their self esteem and their much more difficult lives much better than her. she’s someone we all pity. i d rather look up to someone else than can give me some much needed inspiration in my every day life and can really look up to and identify with.
i dont thinks its fair for yall to talk down on chris brown that shows the real people right now. Who realy thinks that chris brown just woke up and was like o im not having a good day imma go and hit rihanna ,well he didnt that was something that he was exsposed to as a child and even though that wasnt right for him to hit her and im not going to justfy that, but its not fair either for every one to be aginst him im not choosing sides cuz im sure that rihanna hit him and must of ticked him off pretty bad but if they think they can make a duet together than we should incourage them to No its not sending out a good message but theres still those one in a million chances that u can finally trust a person after they hit u take it from someon that knows now if rihanna wants to take that risk with chris brown then let her because im sure she still love him and it hard enough for her without every one trying to decide what she should do
i mean that would be great for both partner.I’m truly happy for both and they should keep it up and ignore all the haters.the haters wont have nothing good to say b’coz of coarse it would be a pleasure talking to Chris and Rhianna and they would enjoy being in that pair of shoe.i believe chance must be given but be very much appreciated so its up to Chris to appreciate it b’coz its a hard and big chance to let go and she tried so Chris darling please appreciate it.this thing between u both could be handled better but because of the pres it got out of hand but its love and love is blind so basically what I’m saying is that u guys should just go ahead and mend it and stop listening to the haters b’coz they’re jealous they wont have nothing better to say OK and i will always be fan of u both.love ya
