Chris Brown

Rihanna is opening up about getting back together with abusive ex-BF Chris Brown and the impact on her public image. Whatever happens, she seems okay with it.

"I decided it was more important for me to be happy," she tells Rolling Stone in a new interview. "I wasn't going to let anybody's opinion get in the way."

"If it's a mistake, it's my mistake. After being tormented for so many years, being angry and dark, I'd rather just live my truth and take the backlash. I can handle it."

It was nearly four years ago that Brown attacked her before the 2009 Grammy Awards, pleaded guilty to felony assault and was sentenced to probation.

Chris Brown has made his Instagram account private in the wake of Sunday's parking lot fight with Frank Ocean and the latter's desire to press charges.

Normally, one would simply turn to Brown's photo sharing handle (the classy "fuckyopictures") for some insight, but Chris is apparently dialing it back.

"Social media takes away the essence of why we are even special or icons. So with that, I'm detaching myself from that world," Brown posted yesterday.

Then he made his Instagram private. Shocking, we know.

Chris Brown is apparently feeling crucified since his fight with Frank Ocean.

Yesterday, the 23-year-old R&B star, who also paints in his spare time, posted a new photo on Instagram of Jesus on the cross, with a not-so cryptic caption:

"Painting the way I feel today," he wrote.

Although he seems to have an extremely hard time taking his own advice, the controversial and often embattled singer also added, "Focus on what matters!"

Accounts of the Chris Brown-Frank Ocean fight vary.

Chris Brown swears he didn't start Sunday's fight with Frank Ocean.

Ocean says he was cold-cocked by Brown and was the clear victim.

So who's telling the truth? Let's break down both sides now ...

According to an eyewitness account, Chris threw the first punch after he felt Ocean disrespected the singer in front of his boys at Westlake Recording Studios.

Was the Chris Brown-Frank Ocean fight really just over a parking spot? Or did a shared history of animosity between the musicians and their camps trigger it?

If you missed it, Chris was listening to artist he represents at an LA-area studio last night; when he went to leave, Ocean and his people blocked him in.

Chris reportedly went to shake hands with Frank, only to be attacked by one of Ocean's entourage members, and things went downhill from there.

Soon enough, a brawl involving six people broke out; Ocean told cops (and Tweeted) the fight started over a parking space, and that Brown punched him.

Chris Brown and Frank Ocean got into a huge fight at a recording studio last night - we're talking an all-out BRAWL - and Brown's camp says Ocean started it.

According to reports, Chris Brown was at Westlake Studio in the L.A. area listening to one of the artists he represents, when Ocean got confrontational.

As Chris went to leave, Ocean and his supposedly crew blocked Chris from leaving. Sources say Frank said, "This is my studio, this is my parking spot."

Count acclaimed Girls star/creator Lena Dunham among those who aren't enamored with Rihanna and Chris Brown being back together these days.

In an interview with Alec Baldwin on his podcast "Here's the Thing," Dunham said that she "used to be really into" Rihanna but was ultimately turned off.

An excerpt from Lena Dunham's interview with Baldwin, in which she discusses the controversial singers' relationship in context, appears below:

Police raced to Chris Brown's home Monday afternoon following a 911 call reporting a domestic incident at his address, but it turns out it was just a prank.

The Hollywood "swatting" crew has struck again.

The caller claimed a mother and father were in a fight at Brown's address, and that the father had gone into another room in the house to get a gun.

At that point the caller hung up, not mentioning it was Chris Brown's house; police arrived and found no evidence of ... anything. Chris was not even there.

Of course she is.

Or she loves to keep us guessing. Probably both. Rihanna just released the cover art for singles "Stay" and "Pour It Up," and on the former, she cozies up to a man.

A man who can ONLY be Chris Brown ... right?!

After what many believe are the signature Chris Brown neck tattoos were seen in the shot, tabloids began speculating that the two were back on once again.

So are they?

Rihanna and Chris Brown clearly spent New Year’s Eve together. In bed. What's unclear is whether that was the high point of 2013 for their relationship.

First, he was linked to Ayem Nour and Sommer Gargan. Perhaps more significantly, comments she's made have fans wondering if it all unraveled from there.

In the last three days, RiRi has posted a series of inspirational quotes on Instagram, where she is an active presence to say the least … all alluding to relationship woes.

Somewhere, Karrueche Tran is smiling. Maybe.

On January 6, her first one read, “I’m not a princess, I don’t need saving. I’m a queen, I got this s--t handled,” over an image of a girl adjusting a crown on her head.
