I liken the line from Rihanna, "I love you, baby", as that 'announcement'. And we'll see them holding hands nonchalantly soon.

!!!!!

Basically.

I can't wait for them to announce it.

Is this a true sign of romantic reunion or simply two pop stars who are willing to milk their domestic abuse past for more fame and/or notoriety?

And this is why I'm angry, they are treating domestic violence like it is a joke, I was in denial when people were saying that interview was just to milk the case in 2009 etc but now, I'm so disappointed..

I loved Rihanna, but you have to be a pretty delusional fan to defend her at this point.

Exactly.

I'm breaking down again

[MsCherry]

Some people are so dramatic

[Ady.]

I think right now this is not THAT big. Get over it. God!! Y'all are lil *******. And the fun fact is that the most fans that have/had meltdown were boys.

There was nothing inappropriate about that 2009 interview. Getting beat down by your significant other isn't some shameful crime that she should have hidden in the shaddows. If she wants to profit off of it, then, oh well. Now, if CB were to try to profit of his felony assault, then that would be heinous, but there's nothing unethical about Rihanna using her tragedy for personal gain. She didn't do anything wrong. CB did.

Until I see the two of them boo-ed up out in public as an official couple, or some real confirmation that they've been sleeping together behind closed doors, then I don't buy the explanation that RIhanna is thumbing her nose at her fans with these two remixes, or that she's lost credibility for working with him, nor do I see these remixes necessarily as a sign of weakness on her part. She's forgiven him for the incident. They work well together, so she did some songs with him.

From LA Times Website...

As a mere collection of sounds and beats, there’s a provocative sheen to “Cake” that would make it serviceable fodder for club grinds, but its message is so convoluted given the context that it deserves to drown in the murky waters it was born in.

Yet, they both remain unpressed.

Rihanna did when she didn't thank Def Jam when she won at the Brits last night.

Its gonna be all over the radio and you guys just have to deal with it

When it goes for digital sale it will sell so much

For the first time Wendy Williams didn't say anything about this. Kinda bummed I love her "hot topics" segment. Now waiting for the ladies of the View.

Deff Jam is not her label in the UK.

In the end, the media just doesn't care that much about Rihanna, be it positive or negative. This was supposed to be THAT moment for her and yet...mostly crickets. But a valiant effort, indeed.

That's why there's so many 'open letters' etc. dedicated to her? People care.

[infinite-desire]

While the music media world was wringing its hands about Chris Brown’s appearing on Rihanna’s remix of “Birthday Cake,” the two former — or current, no one really knows — lovers were hatching not just one song but two. Brown lustily serenades Rihanna on “Cake,” and she appears on a new version of his song “Turn Up the Music,” complete with giggles at the end — presumably because they were having such a great time sending confusing messages to anyone listening.

What to take from this? Is this a sign of romantic reunion or simply two celebrities willing to milk their domestic abuse incident for more fame and/or notoriety? Either way, isn’t there a more powerful message to send than the blithe intertwining of sex and violence?

The backlash continutes.

[WFL]

I was worrying about her career but now I know that she'll be okay. Haters talking like her career is over but sorry gurls she'll continue to slay your faves Remixes are good and this is what i care about. I don't care about CB, their voices go weel together and i'll be jamming to the remixes

And errbody says she s giving a bad message to people and is a bad role model....Well, music industry isn't a good message at all. You think Katy or Britney are good role models for young girls? No, i don't think so.

Some of these Backlash receipts are so reaching

Just deal with it,nothing grand like bashing occurred as anticipated/hoped for. There were meltdowns in the NAVY and that's about it. Most are even back at stanning.
