...I hope she comes to her senses soon. Just so tremendously disappointing.Rihanna and Chris Brown are back together, PEOPLE has learned exclusively. The pair have reunited almost three weeks after Brown, 19, allegedly battered the "Umbrella" singer on Feb. 8, a source tells PEOPLE. "They're together again. They care for each other," says the source. The on-again couple are currently spending time together at one of Sean "Diddy" Combs's homes, on Miami Beach's Star Island. Adds the source: "While Chris is reflective and saddened about what happened, he is really happy to be with the woman he loves."In its latest issue, PEOPLE reports that Brown called Rihanna on her 21st birthday one week ago. "He called to wish her happy birthday," a source told the magazine. "They've reached out to each other. It's been mutual." Brown was booked by LAPD for making criminal threats but the case has not yet been presented to the District Attorney, who will ultimately determine which charges, if any, will be prosecuted.

So, after all is said and done, he won't be tried for -- and no sugar coating this -- attempted murder. Yet another a-hole gets away with it. Cause, basically, taking him back just gives him permission to do it all over again... and he will. He can stuff all his sorrys in a sack; he doesn't mean a word of it. He will do this again. What a terrible and sad shame.

This IS sad. But it's reality. It's harder than people think for a victim to leave her abuser. I had hoped that in Rihanna's case, since she obviously has her own money and so many resources at her disposal, this would be then end of the relationship and Chris Brown would have to pay. And I'd thought that the potentially negative publicity surrounding any reconciliation would make her think twice about getting back together with him. But this just goes to show (and I'll say it again) that it doesn't matter how beautiful and talented and successful and wealthy woman is--this can happen to anyone.
Obviously, I don't think Rihanna's making a smart decision. But I hope there's not too much backlash against her. If, after all this, people start saying she's stupid for getting back together with him, then how many other women out there will wind up feeling stupid for staying in their relationships?
I think we can safely predict that this WILL happen again, though. Maybe it won't be so public or so highly publicized next time, but it will happen.
a lot of rich and famous, especially the very young ones live in a world of entitlement (and drugs) and that very often leads to recklessness and on occasion to violence. she should take the conservative approach and get away from him for certain. he deserves to be seen as a monster right now... but to say he's not sorry and will definitely do it again? i think it's more reasonable that he's actually very sorry but if he doesn't undergo some serious behavioral modification he is also likely to repeat his mistakes.
