Chris may be in the midst of brewing controversy, but that didn’t stop him from catching up with ‘Sell Me Candy’ singer Rihanna in Beverly Hills this morning.

Leaving the studio in Brown’s Porsche, the Pop pair were snapped on the scene at 4.30 am as he continues work on his latest studio album, which is reported to hit shelves by the end of this year.

The sighting also comes five days before Rihanna arrives at the 55th Annual Grammy Awards to perform with ‘Englishman  In New York’ vocalist Sting & ‘Grenade’ sensation, Bruno Mars.

Believed to have been snapped at the ‘BOA’ restaurant, the pic sees ‘The Price Of Loyalty’ author cosy up to the fan on the same night she introduced some of her closest friends to her new artist, Tiffany Foxx.

At just 23 years old, it’s safe to say Chris Brown‘s life has given him no shortage of game changing experiences.

However, following allegations that he and his friends threatened to shoot ‘Voodoo’ singer Frank Ocean  in LA last week, he has come under fresh fire this week.

This, after it emerged that investigators could not find credible proof that he completed the community labor sentence he was obliged to undertake after assaulting ‘No Love Allowed’ singer Rihanna back in 2009.

In short, he is accused of intentionally providing false information to the court, and may be forced to ‘repeat’ his assigned labor hours in LA if he is indeed found to be lying.

Now, after being dealt this shocking blow, he has taken to Instagram to share his feelings with his fans, ‘Team Breezy’.

Looks like girls still run the world!

As expected, fans tuned into Superbowl XLVII in droves to see the televised return to stage of pop queen Beyonce.  For, reports have it the ‘Me, Myself, & I’ maestra drew in a jaw-dropping 104 million viewers for her 14-minute Halftime set.

Now, while news indicates that the reported 104 million is not the final tally (which will not be revealed until later this week), experts do assume once numbers are crunched that the figure will not be far from today’s listing.

The set gives the songstress another accolade to add to her already impressive count.  But, while besting the numbers of many of the historic stage’s previous showings, it is still Queen of Pop Madonna‘s 2012 showing that reigns supreme with its whopping 112 million viewers.  (source)

With 3.5 million albums sold worldwide since 2010, Nicki Minaj‘s meteoric rise to fame came as no surprise to any who’d followed her career since 2007.

Rising from Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School to become the world’s most celebrated Female Rapper since Lauryn Hill, it’s safe to say that the Rapper’s talent and tenacity are to thank for her ever impressive success.

Unfortunately, as is often the case in music, the success of one act goes some way to highlight the inadequacies of those who came before them.

In this case, inadequacies held by one time pin-up Lil Kim, who despite never enjoying a solo hit in her life, is convinced she is to thank for Minaj’s run at the top.

If you know anything about That Grape Juice, you’ll know we love us some Lil Kim.

However, thanks to a number of amateurish business moves, a well publicized jealous streak and the complacency which saw a certain Nicki Minaj take her recipe and make a much better meal out of it, it’s become a little hard to support the ‘Black Friday‘ Rapper.

Now listen to her remix of Rihanna‘s rising smash, ‘Pour It Up‘, at your own risk below…
