Chris Brown and Punching Bag Rihanna About to Make It Public

Rihanna’s so hot, she could have just about any man in the world.

But as it turns out, it seems the only man she wants is Chris Brown. And after a series of highly public hookups in recent weeks, the rock-em, sock-em couple appears to be heading for a more public, out-in-the-open relationship.

Brown broke up with his girlfriend Karrueche Tran on Oct. 4, letting her dodge a time bomb, but he and Rihanna have been caught carrying on hot and heavy all over New York City. Hollywoodlife.com says a source told them that the battling couple plans to get back together for real after Rihanna releases her new album, Unapologetic, in November.

Apparently, Rihanna is supposedly focusing on getting the album out, but she “talks to Chris every step of the way. As soon as she finishes up with this album, they will be out. She gotta focus and get that album out and stay paid.”

So there you have it. If you’re getting tired of the will they, won’t they, it sounds as if they are. And hey, its going on four years since Brown beat the s**t out of her before the 2009 Grammys. Maybe he’s grown up. Maybe she’s grown stupid. Or maybe the restraining order’s finally over and they’ve been hooking up all along anyway.

But Rihanna, before you make it for real, do you and Chris think you’re this generations’ Ike and Tina Turner or what?

And apparently, to their fans, it’s time to forgive and forget:
