Rihanna has subsequently stated that she will stand by him during the investigation and whatever the future holds. Given the past these two have together, Brown was humbled by Rihanna’s firm support. “He told her he appreciated her despite the criticism she has endured for recording songs with Chris [Brown] and welcoming him back into her life,” the source said.

I mean, I’m so lonely. I clean up the house, put the kids to bed and there I sit. Ideally I would find that person…I don’t know if I feel ready for that.”

There are some things in life that go together like peanut butter and jelly or a refreshing glass of lemonade on a hot summer day. Some of our favorite celebrity couples compliment each other in the same way. Although many of our most loved duos have split and moved on, there’s no shame in wishing they would reunite. Think way back to Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake; they always seemed like the perfect couple on “The Mickey Mouse Club.” What would life be like if all of our favorite Hollywood couples got back together? Here are a few Tinseltown twosomes we would love to see re-spark their old flames:

What better day for L.A. Lakers basketball star, Kobe Bryant to rekindle the love with estranged wife, Vanessa Bryant than on Valentine’s Day? Filled with adrenalin and confidence from his victory against the Atlanta Hawks, Bryant was photographed kissing Vanessa on his way back to the locker rooms, according to TMZ. Vanessa Bryant filed for divorce back in December. As a result of their divorce settlement, she was recently given full ownership of the ex-couple’s three Newport Beach Homes at an estimated $18.8 million. Maybe this encounter with love will mean good things for the former couple, who have two daughters together, ages 9 and 5.

A vacation in Costa Rica with wife Gisele Bundchen and 2-year-old son Benjamin was more than enough compensation for Tom Brady’s loss in the Super Bowl recently. Supermodel Bundchen had an outburst after the loss, blaming Brady’s teammates, according to People. However, that now seems to be water under the bridge as they vacationed at her home in Santa Teresa. There’s nothing like romance to cure a broken spirit.

After being spotted leaving a doctor’s office holding a sonogram, as seen onTMZ.com, it is rumored that Drew Barrymore and her fiancé Will Kopelman could be expecting their first baby. According to People, the couple would like to become parents. “Drew is so motherly. Will would like to be a dad. Family is so important to him,” said a source. However, Barrymore’s rep had no comment regarding the pregnancy. In 2006, Barrymore told People, “I definitely feel the beginnings of a tick-tock. Whether I have children or adopt, whatever form a family comes in, I would absolutely love to have it.” Recently, Barrymore has been seen wearing loose fitting clothing whenever she was in public.

Rihanna and Chris Brown recently spent time working on the other’s songs, which were released on Monday. This collaboration was completely unexpected after the domestic violence drama the two went through in 2009. However, according to People, the pair were spending time together the night of the Grammy’s, which marked three years since the incident. On Twitter the former couple have been displaying friendly behavior. The lyrics Brown sings in Rihanna’s song are inappropriate; however, they do suggest he is missing her. Rihanna’s lyrics are more straight forward: “I love you baby,” she sings.
Why would a woman reconnect with an ex who physically hurt her?
According to UsMagazine.com, a woman was reportedly approached by Grammy winner Chris Brown, 22, with one absurd pickup line. Brown is rumored to have told the woman, ” Can I get your number? I promise I won’t beat you!” After pleading guilty in 2009 to beating ex-girlfriend and singer Rihanna, 24, many think Brown should take domestic violence seriously, to say the least.

Dear Heidi Lee,
Help! I think I’m a Toad!
I’m on an online dating site, and I lie about who I am … I use my sister’s photo. I play down my interests — leaving out that I’m Jim Carrey’s ex and a former Playboy model. I feel guilty for lying, but I can’t be honest because of stalkers, psychos and creeps. I want a regular, low-key guy who can throw back a burger and a beer in a bowling alley …
Don’t these guys have the right to know up front that my world is paparazzi and tabloids? Do I have the right to lure them with false promises of an All-American romance with the girl next door?

Three years after pleading guilty to assaulting his ex, Chris Brown and Rihanna seem to have come to some sort of a truce. This week, Brown sent his former girlfriend a message for her birthday via Twitter: “HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROBYN!” Rihanna then thanked him via her own Twitter account, according to People. Lately, controversy has been brewing as the duo are back on speaking terms and rumors that they may be getting back together are circulating. The pair have even collaborated with their music, as Brown is singing on a remix of Rihanna’s track “Birthday Cake,” called “Cake.”

Former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham presented a collection at the New York Fashion show, and critics said she looked a little disheveled and unhappy. That said, they couldn’t be more wrong. “Look, if people want to say I’m miserable, then so be it,” she said, according to UsMagazine.com. “I’m really not. I have a lot on my plate. I’m not going to lie about it, I’m tired. I’m really tired, but I’m also very happy with my life.” Victoria has four children with soccer star husband David Beckham and the newest addition to the family, Harper Beckham, is only seven months old. “I’m not getting much sleep at all,” she added. “Harper’s not sleeping that great, and I’ve been taking Skype business calls throughout the night, too, because of the collections. I’m up with the baby as all mums are, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. There’s not a team of people doing it for me.”
Kidnap victim Elizabeth Smart has beaten the odds once again– this time by planning a wedding in record time.

Smart originally planned on having a summer wedding, but changed the date only two weeks ago. “It’s everything you can imagine with planning a wedding,” said Smart. “Only, it’s compressed into a few days.”

Some celebrity couples have the “it” factor that just draws us in and makes us interested in everything happening in their lives. Other Hollywood relationships have to work a bit harder for our attention, but still, we can’t help but take notice. They make headlines because of their enviable romances, high-profile careers, and cute kids, and we anxiously await their next moves. Below are five power celebrity couples that, for better or worse, never fail to command our attention:

After Kim Kardashian’s whirlwind wedding and quick separation from Kris Humphries, her step-dad Bruce Jenner says her next man has to go through him first. The former Olympian and his wife Kris Jenner appeared on the Ellen Degeneres Show where they discussed their reality star children’s lives, and Jenner said he “can tell if it’s going to work or not.” According to People, Jenner said he had his questions when the NBA star asked for his approval to marry Kim. “In the back of my head I said, ‘I don’t know if she’s going to say yes,'” he said. “But it’s not my decision. Go for it.”
How much should you trust your parents to help you choose a mate?
Denise Richards has certainly proven herself to be a dedicated single mom. Richards is a former supermodel and mother of three (two of who she had with ex-husband Charlie Sheen). When Sheen had his outbursts last year, Richards knew better then to continue to lie to her children and keep them in the dark. She decided to educate her daughters about the cause of those outbursts: addiction. According to UsMagazine.com, Richards said, “It’s too early [for them to understand], but I told them enough for them to make sense of things that were going on.” There’s no doubt that single parents can use Richards as an example.

Some of us view Hollywood stars as lifestyle role models. You want Sofia Vergara’s lipstick, Beyonce’s curly hair or the Balenciaga bag that everybody and their mother was rocking on the red carpet recently. While it’s cool to mix celeb style with your own once in a while, it’s important to remember that the people who entertain us with movies, TV and music are just that — people.
That said, the famous are more human than we realize, and some of our favorite celebrities have one thing in common that we should never seek to emulate — their tumultuous relationships. In fact, let’s learn from the love, sex and dating mistakes of the stars.
Here are some celebrity relationship snafus to avoid:
