Rihanna and Chris Brown are getting back together, at least that’s what folks are starting to believe after eye-hustling a series of love chats between the two on Twitter recently.
A reunion could jeopardize Rihanna, but not necessarily in the ways most would think.
Cyberspace was jolted awake when, starting on Dec. 29, the two pop superstars began exchanging very interesting and controversial tweets. This is most interesting in light of their extremely public and violent break-up on the eve of the Grammy Awards a few years back.
In fact, some were taken aback that Ri Ri would even chose to follow Breezy on Twitter after he reportedly made her kiss the cold hard pavement on that infamous evening in Los Angeles. Now, the prospect of them kissing each other again after that debacle has some aghast and shocked.
First, Breezy sent this message to Ri Ri:
“Love U more than U know,” to which Rihanna promptly answered with this:
“I’ll Always Love U.”
That’s not even the beginning. The torrid Twitter affair commenced a while back. And even Breezy’s mom, Joyce Hawkins, said she wants what was once one of the world’s most glamorous couples to rekindle the courtship.
At the top of December, Hawkins sent this coded message floating through cyberspace:
“HELLO LADY I MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU!!!!!! YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!!!”
Interestingly enough, Rihanna sent this back into cyberspace without addressing anyone in particular, or so we think:
“Miss+Love u 2.”
Many view Ri Ri as a purified pop princess who was turned out for the worse and became a sexpot after mixing it up with Breezy. But that’s what we once thought about Whitney Houston.
If they do decide to get back together, it may make Rihanna happy, but it would undoubtedly jeopardize her standings with her international fan base. Rihanna is already one of the bestselling female artists of all time, and recently became the youngest artist in Billboard history to achieve 11 number one singles on the Hot 100, an extremely exclusive club that includes the Beatles, The Bee Gees, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Elvis, Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey.
Would the tidal wave of love stop pouring over Ri Ri if she was to make that move? Is Rihanna sending out feelers over Twitter to test the waters of how fans would react? And what about Breezy, for that matter? If he were to so much as breathe too much carbon dioxide on her flawless face, he would be charged with everything short of the Patriot Act. It doesn’t look like a promising endeavor for either party.
Here are five other celebrity couples who got back together again — and sometimes again and again — after breaking it off the first time:
