What is it about men with the last name Brown?

First, it was Bobby Brown who was able to take Whitney Houston on a less-than-desirable roller coaster ride. Now, Chris Brown may very well be on his way to bring pride to the Brown name. (They're not related, as far as I know — just an odd coincidence.)

Rihanna, 21, seems to be taking Chris Brown back after he left his mark in their night-before-the-Grammy's scuffle.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Fans of singers Chris Brown and Rihanna expressed dismay on Saturday at reports the couple had reunited just three weeks after Brown was alleged to have assaulted her.

Celebrity magazines People and Us Weekly said that the R&B stars were spending time together at the Miami home of hip hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs -- and that Rihanna's father was supporting her decision.

"I love my daughter with whatever road she takes. I'm behind her win or lose. I will be supportive. If that's the road she wants to choose, I'm behind her," Rihanna's dad Ronald Fenty told Us Weekly from his Barbados home.

Fans could scarcely believe the news that came a week after a picture, showing the 21-year-old "Umbrella" singer with bruises to her face and swollen lips, was leaked on the Internet.

"All the abusive men are celebrating," Highroller33138 wrote in a posting on the MTV.com website. "It sets a terrible example for women everywhere. Rihanna really disappointed me..."

I'm done with this story. If people want to act a fool, let 'em do it. Enjoy the ride, Rih.
