Chris Brown Parties With Karrueche Tran ... and Rihanna

Prepare for a firestorm of rumors that Chris Brown and Rihanna may be back together or close to it, because the two partied at the same club.

At the same time. OMFG.

Chris and Rihanna were spotted at Avenue nightclub in New York, where the R&B star spent some time hanging out at Rihanna's table.

The two exited the club separately, but within minutes of each other, and were both tight-lipped about anything that happened inside.

Earlier that night, the controversial artist launched his first art show, a collaboration with pop artist Ron English called “Dum English.”

At the event, taking place at Opera Gallery in SoHo, his girlfriend, petite model Karrueche Tran, was also at the gallery all evening.

A source at the event says Tran stayed by the 23-year-old Brown’s side for much of that time and the two shared “multiple embraces.”

Karrueche Tran hung on Brown’s every word as he told guests about his artwork, but did not go to the club with him, apparently.

Good thing, too, because Brown could be seen “clearly admiring Rihanna from his table across the room," according to the N.Y. Daily News.

No hookups, though, at least not yet. Despite suggestive song lyrics, Brown seems to be sending the message that he’s with Karrueche.

Weigh in, Team Breezy. Weigh in.
