R&B Engagement Rumors: Will Rihanna Be Walking Down The Aisle With Chris Brown???
Posted on January 5, 2009 9:40 AM
Leave it to the British press to kick off rumors of an engagement. After spending New Year's Eve together in London Rihanna and Chris Brown are now at the center of speculation that they will be tying the knot.
At 19 and 20 this can't possibly be a good idea if it's true, but seeing as it's coming from the British press I'll take this news with a grain of salt.
According to UK's The Sun:
Pals said Chris, 19, popped the question over the New Year. Rihanna, 20, showed off the bling after performing with her fella at the O2 in London. Despite the cold, she wore fingerless gloves and held her hand to her chest so people could clock the rock. A source said: "Rihanna was wearing the biggest diamond you can imagine."
Well you can't say they didn't ask for that one. Britain is notorious for their nosy ass tabloids and while the fingerless gloves are right up there with Rihanna's biker chic style, rocking a gimundous diamond on THAT finger is only gonna generate speculation and, of course, publicity. It's definitely one way to keep their names in our mouths.
The "best friends" who also tour together, jet ski together, vacation together, shop together, get tattoos together and go to KFC together apparently brought their families together at Chris' home in Virginia for Christmas. And while I can understand paparazzi catching them at all those other public places it really boggles my mind how a family Christmas shot ends up in the press without somebody in their came purposely fueling the rumors. Are they pulling a fast one on us? Seriously, there is no way these kids are getting married. They can't even legally drink yet!
Meanwhile Chris has popped up alongside another one of his favorite collaborators, T-Pain for the "Freeze" video below. Watch:
That's an extra colorful one. Kinda reminds me of those old school Paula Abdul vids. Are you guys old enough to remember those?
Since we're talking engagement rumors today I also wanted to post a picture of Ne-Yo and his rumored fiance/backup dancer Tenille.
Beautiful couple. And unlike RihRih and Chris, they don't qualify for MTV's "Engaged and Underage."
That's it for now, talk to me y'all!

I'm so sick of hearing more about Chris Brown and Rihanna's relationship than I hear about their music. I don't care what the hell they are doing. They are not important enough yet.
I don't care if ballon head ne-yo and his back up dancer trick is getting engage. I bet that if he wasn't famous or didn't have no kind of money she wouldn't even had looked his way twice. The fame just made her hop on for the ride. I wonder if this is the same chick that was caugh on her knees in those cell phone's pictures.
