RIHANNA’s dad wants the pop beauty to marry the man who infamously beat her up three years ago.

Ronald Fenty says he’d welcome Chris Brown into the family, even though the controversial R&B star is still on probation for brutally assaulting Rihanna in 2009.

The couple are dating again after Brown ditched his ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran earlier this month.

Ronald revealed: “Whatever makes her happy. I hope one day she will get married. Everyone adores Chris, he’s a super guy.

“The family loved Chris Brown before they met him. I always thought he was extremely talented. He is a good person and always gave me great respect.”

The National Enquirer is reporting Rihanna wants to increase her bust size just to please Chris Brown.

RIHANNA wants to boost her bust – because, according to a source, her abusive ex-beau Chris Brown said she’d be “totally hot” with bigger boobs!

Now, the 24-year-old Barbadian beauty is out shopping for a plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills who will pump her up “at least one bra size,” a friend of the “Where Have You Been” singer tells The ENQUIRER.

“It’s horrifying seeing how much control Chris still has over her,” said the friend. “It’s like she’s hypnotized.”

He’s playing both Rihanna and his on-again, off-again girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, big-time,” noted the friend. “No one can understand why these women put up with the twisted arrangement.”

Friends are concerned that Rihanna’s fixation with Chris has now spiraled out of control.

Although she has publicly joked in the past about having “no boobs,” she never seriously considered going under the knife – until now.

“Rihanna’s always been insecure about her cleavage,” revealed the friend, “but Chris’s comment has spurred her on to really do something about it.

“Rihanna can’t help herself. What she really wants is something she can’t have – a committed relationship.

Chris Brown made it official today, confirming he was no longer with Karrueche Tran. The singer issued a statement saying he didn’t want to hurt Tran anymore because of his friendship with Rihanna.

 ”I have decided to be single to focus on my career. I love Karrueche very much but I don’t want to see her hurt over my friendship with Rihanna,” Chris Brown tells Confidenti@l through his spokesman on Thursday. “I’d rather be single allowing us to be both be happy in our lives.“

Chris and Rihanna at Jay-Z concert Wednesday night

The announcement comes on the heels of reports that Chris and Rihanna have been all over New York City together this week. The two were photographed together at Jay-Z’s Barclays Center concert. This should put to rest any speculation about whether or not the former couple would be getting back together. At this point it’s only a matter of time.

Some are speculating that the new Tatoo Chris Brown just inked on his neck is supposed to be the face of his ex-girlfriend Rihanna. Although the two are supposedly no longer together, they seem to be drawing closer every day.

In an emotional interview with Oprah Winfreylast month, Riri confessed to still loving Brown.

“I truly love him,” she told the talk show host. “And the main thing for me is that he is at peace. I’m not at peace if he is unhappy or he is still lonely. I care. It actually matters that he finds peace.”

Last week at the MTV Video Music Awards the former couple shared a very public hug and kiss. Which didn’t make Brown’s current girlfriend, Karrueche Tran very happy

Now Brown turns up with this new tattoo.

It was a big 2012 MTV Video Music Awards night for Chris Brown and Rihanna.

The former couple both won major Moonmen: Chris Brown won Best Male Video and Rihanna grabbed the night’s most coveted, Video of the Year.

But it was a moment that didn’t take place on the broadcast (but was captured by one of MTV.com’s “All Access Live” cameras) that got people talking. After the broadcast, cameras cut away from Rihanna once she’d accepted her Video of the Year award for “We Found Love,” she left the stage, and spotted Brown.

Chris Brown who has reportedly become close to Rihanna again three years after pleading guilty to assaulting her on the night before the 2009 Grammy Awards — made eye contact with Rihanna and she walked over to greet him and they shared a quick embrace, before she hugged Bu Thiam (Akon’s brother), VP of A&R at her label, Def Jam. Then, Rih Rih then patted Brown’s bleach-blond head and strode away.

Excerpts from the interview:

We’ve been working on our friendship again and now we’re very close friends. And that’s not anything we’re going to try to change. It’s still difficult to see him, because my feelings are conflicting. It’s awkward because I still love him. ‘My stomach drops and I have to maintain this poker face and not let it get to the outer part of me. I have to maintain it and suppress it. When you don’t understand those feelings you can make a lot of mistakes. ”I think he is the love of my life. He was my first love.’

R&B singer Chris Brown and his rival Drake were socked with a $16 million lawsuit Wednesday over the glass-flying brawl at a popular SoHo nightclub.

Greenhouse, on Vandam Street, shares space, owners and a liquor license with W.i.P. — the bar where the fight occurred June 14.

Owners of the Greenhouse trademark claim in court papers that the melee, which left at least seven people injured — including hoops star Tony Parker — cost them a $4 million licensing deal that they’d recently brokered.

Publicists for Drake and Brown have tried to distance the men from the fight over their former flame, Rihanna.

But the lawsuit, brought by Entertainment Enterprises Ltd., which owns the Greenhouse name, alleges they were directly involved.

Brown and Drake “began to fight violently with each other,” according to papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court. “Each ordered his security personnel, bodyguards, friends and entourage to join the fight.”

Witnesses said bottles were shattered so they could be used as weapons, and patrons started throwing glasses full of booze. The brouhaha started after Brown sent Drake a bottle of champagne — and Drake sent it back, prompting someone to start tossing ice cubes.

Members of each singer’s posse were also listed as defendants in the lawsuit, identified only as John Does.

“Defendants overran the nightclub’s extensive security measures and the brawl overtook the entire space. Terrorized patrons ran for cover…most were unable to protect themselves,” the lawsuit states.

Among those injured was Parker, whose left eye was hit by flying glass. He has filed a $20 millionlawsuit against the club. Others injured also have filed suits.

Brown and Drake “should have foreseen that their notoriety and celebrity would ensure that their acts had far reaching and devastating effects,” the trademark owners contend.

The bar was shut down by police and temporarily stripped of its liquor license by the State Liquor Authority.

Club owners went to court to win the license back on a temporary basis, and made a pact with the city to reopen with beefed-up security.

Police and the Manhattan District Attorney’s office are still investigating the incident. So far, no criminal charges have been brought.

Turns out not even Oprah can end an interview with Rihanna without asking the singer about Chris Brown. In promo clips for an upcoming interview, the “Rude Boy” singer is seen crying after the TV host asks her about her relationship with Brown, who brutally assaulted her in 2009.

“It was embarrassing,” Rihanna said. “It was humiliating. I lost my best friend. I was resentful. I held a grudge. I was dark.”

Her interactions with Brown continue to set the tabloid world on fire. Rumors that the two had begun dating again were bolstered by her decision to release his-and-her remixes they collaborated on. Rihanna appeared on the remix to his “Turn Up the Music,” and Brown provided a sex-laced verse on the “Birthday Cake” remix.

The TV legend said she had expected Rihanna to be an edgy “badass,” but found that the 24-year-old singer defied all her expectations.

Oprah and Rihanna also chatted about the singer’s native Barbados, where the interview took place. The full conversation airs on OWN during “Oprah’s Next Chapter,” at 9 pm on Sunday, August 19th.

Here’s a promo clip for the interview:

Here, we bring you reviews of three artists you definitely should be listening to. Check it out…

1: Chris Brown:  ”In My Zone (Gangsta Grillz / Rhythm & Streets)”

…

Chris Brown Chris Brown’s latest album ‘Graffiti’, since its release in Dec 2009, has received low reviews, not on account of its lack of merit, but because critics found it hard critiquing the album without recourse to the Rihanna incident.

On his part, Chris Brown is trying everything possible to put all that behind him. He recently gifted his royal fans, whose feedback on Graffiti he said have been nothing short of praiseworthy, a free mix tape.

“My fans [have] given me a great response on the album. They actually said they love it. They tell me what songs they love. Like 99 percent of the comments are all positive about the album.” Chris said in an interview recently.

The mix tape, In My Zone (Gangsta Grillz / Rhythm & Streets), featuring new songs as well as recognizable hits including Trey Songz’ ‘Say Aah,’ Ludacris’ ‘How Low,’ and Snoop Dogg’s ‘I Wanna Rock’ can be downloaded for free @ http://www.livemixtapes.com/download/11305/chris_brown_in_my_zone.html. The mix tape is not all about rewarding royal fan’s as Chris Brown also used the opportunity to show off his credible rap skills and song writing talents.

Comment

This initiative from Chris Brown was well received by fans around the world. On several web sites, the mix tape has been downloaded over 1000,000 times

Stand out Tracks

“Say Aah” featuring T. Breezy and “Perfume” featuring Rich Girl

2: Janelle Monae: “The ArchAndroid (Suites II and III of IV)”

…

Ok, so some didn’t know Janelle before her monster single “Tightrope” which featured Outkast’s big boi? Well, I didn’t either, but one listen was enough conviction that the lady had more going for her than her extravagant coiffure and futuristic leanings.

The ArchAndroid (Suites II and III of IV), Janelle’s fist studio album, continues a concept already explored in her EPs, about robot revolutions (or something), but don’t go expecting so much futuristic sci-fi kind music, for aside from sped-up backup vocals (especially in “tightrope) most songs lean more towards Micheal Jackson, Outcast and Amerie.

Though Janelle might remind us (somewhat) of Erykah Badu, Lauren Hill or, maybe, Grace Jones, she sounds only like herself and has a presence that is at par with, if not higher than, what those diva’s displayed in their heydays.

This will definitely go down as one of the biggest albums of the 2010.

Stand out songs

“Say You’ll Go”, “Locked Inside”, “Tightrope” and “BaBopByeYa”

Comment

Though some artists are more hype than bite, Janelle is not one of those, blessed with undisputed talent; she is too big for any genre and has an independent style clearly reminiscent of a pre AWOL Lauren Hill.

3: Macy Grey:  “The sell out”

…

Grammy winning soul sensation Macy Gray has once again slipped on the toga of success that was synonymous with her a decade ago when many saw her as the biggest thing in soul. Back then her inimitable voice granted Black Eyed Peas’s jaunty “Request Line” its haunting chorus, making the song one of the biggest hits of 2000.

After trying unsuccessfully to recreate the runaway success of her 1999 debut, ‘On How Life Is’, the Neo-soul diva is back to winning ways with her latest album ‘The sell out’. The sell out clearly signals the return of Macy’s velvety soulfulness. None-too-soon, I say, as it was obvious to even diehard fans that the sister desperately needed a strong comeback after the song writing skills of Will.I.Am and Justin Timberlake failed to lift her much-touted 2007 comeback album – the previous two having sounded a death knell that saw her label bailing out.

With the ‘Sell out’, Macy has reasserted herself as the undisputed queen of Neo-Soul. The Album’s strength is evident from the self-titled opening track to the aptly titled closer, “The comeback”. It is as if Macy is saying to us, “I am back!”

Stand out tracks

“Beauty In The World”, “Kissed It”, “Help Me” and “Still Hurts”

Comments

…And what if she threw in Hip-hop, Rock, Pop and her comfort zone, Soul, that’s what made the album so off the hinges.
