Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran Enjoying "Open Relationship," Source Claims

“Girl I wanna f*** you right now. Been a long time, I’ve been missing your body.” – the first line of Chris Brown and Rihanna’s remix of “Birthday Cake” Despite suggestive lyrics like that, and plenty of other rumors surrounding Chris Brown and Rihanna, Karrueche Tran isn’t bothered by all the noise. That’s because the two have an open relationship, according to reports. “Karrueche isn’t stupid, and she has told friends that they have an open relationship. She never asks about Rihanna, ever,” says a source of Brown’s girlfriend. “Chris will take several days to call her back at times, and that is OK with Karreuche. She doesn’t pressure or hound Chris, it’s just not what she is about.” “She recognizes that they are both young, and she isn’t going to let the fact Chris is spending time with his ex -girlfriend come between what they have.” What they have? It doesn’t sound like much … but good for them! Karreuche and Brown were recently seen in Miami, and she “is clearly enjoying the attention and notoriety she is getting being his girlfriend,” a source says. As for rumors that Rihanna may become his girlfriend instead? In 2009, Chris Brown was arrested for felony battery on Rihanna, the night before the Grammy Awards. Now they’re making beautiful music together again. Only in the literal sense … or maybe not. While sources say they are not planning a reconciliation, Rihanna would not fear the public backlash if they did. “They have probably hooked up half a dozen times in the past year, but it’s unlikely that Rihanna and Chris would ever get back together though,” an insider said . The reason being? “Rihanna doesn’t give a s–t if she were to get public backlash if they were to reconcile, but she is the one calling the shots now, which she likes.” “She knows that if they were to get back together, she wouldn’t be able to maintain that strong role, and Chris would likely lose interest.” “They are both very young still, and Rihanna knows she would never be able to trust Chris because he has problems staying faithful.” Given that he’s supposedly hooking up with her while dating Karreuche Tran right now, she would have a decent argument to make there.

Javier Colon, The Voice Winner, Down to Battle X Factor, American Idol Champions

The Voice reigning champion Javier Colon has accepted Simon Cowell’s idea for the ultimate musical showdown – a battle between TV singing competition winners! Simon suggested pitting the champs of X Factor, The Voice and American Idol together in a singing smackdown, with the goal of determining who reigns supreme. Javier took to Twitter to accept Simon’s “super final” challenge: “So @simoncowell recently proposed a face off btw Idol/Xfactor/Voice winners. I really respect the other shows and winners a lot but if U want a battle I’m IN!” American Idol producer Nigel Lythgoe also responded on Twitter last week, but he was less willing, making a thinly-veiled claim to Idol’s superiority : “@simoncowell suggests the IDOL winner should take on the voice and x-factor winners. The problem is the Idol winner will be a star by then.” Ouch! Idol is really digging in against its critics these days. With X Factor allowing managed talent to participate this season, and The Voice getting bigger ratings than ever this winter, the ante has been upped. Will past and future champions step up to the plate?! This show would likely never happen for myriad reasons, but we ask you: Which show is the best?
