Rihanna Invites Chris Brown To Birthday Party

Rihanna has raised eyebrows yet again by inviting her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown to her pre-birthday party in Beverly Hills.

The star, who turns 24 next week, threw a Barbados-themed bash at the Hearst Mansion on Monday for celebrity pals including Chris Martin, Bruno Mars and Katy Perry.

But tongues began wagging after Rihanna's former lover Chris made his entrance on the third anniversary of the couple's infamous fight.

One guest, Katia C., tweeted: "If Cupid was here he would be very happy everyone (at) Rihanna bday party was coupled up.

"All I can say, CB [Chris Brown] was invited and she was acting like the happiest girl on her birthday and probably got what she asked for."

The birthday girl was spoiled rotten after Jay-Z and Beyonce gifted her with diamond earrings, and she danced the night away with her newly-single best pal Katy.

Another source told The Mirror: "Rihanna and Katy had everyone going crazy. By the end of the night they started a cake fight and were dancing together while Bruno and Chris looked on open-mouthed, cheering.

"RiRi made sure Chris was having a good time but then he kept a low profile, spending most of the night in a corner with a few pals.

"At one point Katy danced so much she broke her heels and had to leave the party barefoot.

"Rihanna also had her own wardrobe casualty when her corset came undone but she didn't let that stop the fun."

I'm not too surprised at this. Rihanna seemed to want to stay in contact with him immediately, and it was reported that she struggled to deal with his restraining order. Now that they can communicate again, it seems natural that they'd get in touch.

I'm not sure whether it's a case of her having low self-esteem, or just that these two were genuinely in love, but I hope that this time it can work out for them. I hope that both of them learnt from what happened, and they can have a balanced relationship without the violence that benefits them both.

If they can't, her people (her management, her family, her friends) need to step in and stop this from developing into anything serious again. Her welfare has to come before any potential benefits of this relationship.

People should mind their business and let these two adults take care of their lives

Well to be honest it's pretty obvious that she wants to get back with him and it's only the negative backlash that's holding it up. She's obviously forgiven him for what he did and if she wants to take the risk of it happening again that's her business, she is looking too thin at the moment though IMO.

R I P, get real. I do not approve of any hitting anyone but surely if Brown was above pardon his sentence would have been life. Leave him alone! As it is, he has paid his dues according to the justice system, anyone who has problems with that please go to the highest American court! For journalists who think they must never-endingly rake the coals, Brown is talented, was he not a celebrity would we hear you go on and on? There is also hypocrisy, seems some get away with similar acts. Was not Ronnie Wood of the Beatles accused and arrested for allegedly beating 20 yr. old Ekaterina? That was a ‘girl’, Ronnie met when almost underage by some standards, so those ranting against Chris could perhaps have a child abuse scenario in American states where 20 is a child Some papers reported that his misdeeds included cigarette burns, stubs on Ekaterina - Rant now please, give him a pounding too. Oh, what was Ronnie’s penalty?
Brown is human; so he should scream hate ‘you too’ to those journalists who think themselves cleverer than say the Grammy awarding body. Seeing as Rihanna has moved on, forgiven, rested the issue; lifting the ban on Brown, inviting Chris to her Birthday celebrations; Do you all even think Rihanna welcomes constant reminders?
The mistake for Brown is taking down the tweets. He should be upset like anyone would at hate mongering by those who have nothing better to do but rake ashes

She should bin him! What example is it setting to other women who suffer from domestic violence? Take your fella back, it happens everday so just deal with it? More importantly what example is it setting to the men..."well if it's okay for Chris Brown to beat up Rhianna and till be with her..." She's a beautiful and talented woman, but obviously has no sense of self-worth.

Stupid woman, when you are in the public eye you have responsibilty for your actions and the message they say, she is sending an appalling message to young battered women.

As if you are a saint. Chris made a mistake and has paid for it, shouldnt we forgive him? How I wish we are all held to the highest accounts of our deeds!

Another case of someone with lots of talent and no self esteem. It's difficult to find sympathy for her as she knows what he is capable of and he will do it again. But then, who knows, maybe she likes it that way. Very poor role model for young girls.

He did get a good battering that night too from her as well...
10:55 on 16/02/2012
And that makes what he did all right?
09:50 on 16/02/2012
Oh, and as for this Chris 'I-used-to-be-someone-but-now-I'm-just-a-woman-beater-and-MJ-copycat' Brown... get over yourself with the I'M ALL THAT attitude, you're dime a dozen! :-)
09:47 on 16/02/2012
She may well 'think' that she's doing the "I'll show him I aint bothered... I'm over it... I'm over him... yeah, we're friends... check me out...".
But, regardless of her 'talent', she's still a young, naive girl who doesnt know any better. Bless her wee cotton socks!

Blogging and tweeting from a PRIVATE party! With friends like these who needs enemies!

Chris/bobby Brown both guilty of screwing up there partners. Why are they not in prison?? Music company corperations!! Who runs the law?? Corperations!!
13:32 on 16/02/2012
I don't think Chris has screwed RIhanna up at all, yeah he beat her but he hasn't changed her personality or gotten her hooked on drugs.
20:16 on 16/02/2012
What??? Are you joking!!!
08:02 on 16/02/2012
This woman really should not be blonde, other than that shes gorgeous.
09:43 on 16/02/2012
Dont worry, she'll be a redhead tomorrow, then back to black, then maybe blue (a la K.Perry)... thats the good thing about wigs, she swap them as often as her men!
13:32 on 16/02/2012
As far as i know she's had 3 boyfriends the whole time she's been famous, hardly swapping men 10 times a day is it?
18:23 on 16/02/2012
and why not ? life is just one big party when you're a young celebrity, and she hasn't slept around,as many celebrities have.
