Chris Brown and Rihanna are dangerously close to getting back together, sources close to the ex-couple tell TMZ -- but the singers' friends are desperately trying to keep them apart ... for their own good. According to sources, Rihanna is still head over heels for Chris -- despite that fateful night 3 years ago when he brutalized her -- and if it weren't for the media and her fans, she would already have taken him back. We're told Chris also has extremely strong feelings for Rihanna -- current girlfriend be damned. Now, sources tell us, Rihanna and Chris' friends are terrified they'll get back together -- and they're doing everything they can to prevent a possible reunion. According to sources, friends on BOTH sides have expressed extremely strong reservations to Ri and CB about spending so much time together ... warning it's a terrible idea ... personally AND professionally. But with Rihanna's birthday ... Chris and Rihanna's duets released this week ... friends fear they're fighting an uphill battle. As one source put it, "You can't hold back love."

She must not care about her career then if she does. I'd be extremely pissed with her if she did, but i don't think i'd stop supporting her. I love the dumb bitch too much.

She'll lose a SHITLOAD of fans though. The blacklash she'd get...

current girlfriend be damned.

Originally posted by Praise Mariallah The only way Rih's gonna get a huge backlash/career-ender is if she goes back to Chris. Only way. If she got back with Chris in a publicized relationship EVERYONE would be talking about it & EVERYONE would shun her. I honestly don't think people care about (or are aware of) this remix.
