"Rihanna loves to live dangerously," says a pal of the Barbados beauty. "Talking to and hooking up with Chris is all part of that."

    Why did they both dye their hair blonde? Is Chris a Sisqo-wannabe?

    FORGIVE, means Chris can wish her a happy birthday. The normal response would be a thank you. That is obviously what happened. Geez!

    Maybe I'll get slammed for this (no pun intended), but how can you be "friends" with the man who beat you? I mean, if you want to forgive for your own soul, fine. But to be friends? Idle chit chat? I just don't get it.
