Riri and Breezy were spotted partying together at New York City club, The Griffin on Monday. The pair were seen kissing on the dance floor, then disappearing into a bathroom together for 20 minutes.
On Tuesday Brown was photographed leaving Gansevoort Park hotel, where Rihanna is staying. Riri was spotted leaving shortly afterwards headed to a recording studio in SoHo. Brown went directly from his rendezvous with Rihanna to pick up Tran at another hotel.
Tran hinted that something might be wrong on Tuesday when she Tweeted, “Remember, I said I prefer men.”
During an interview in August, Rihanna told Oprah Winfrey that she was still in love with Brown. Looks like it won't be long before the two of them are back together again officially

As we all know by now, 50 Cent and Fat Joe put their long running beef to bed during the BET Hip Hop Awards in Atlanta last weekend. The two have been receiving universal praise for being big enough men to look past their differences while honoring Chris Lighty.
Peter Rosenberg spoke on the situation this morning and gave the two men well deserved props.
"Time to give some props to Fat Joe and 50 Cent. You gotta respect it man," Rosenberg said on Hot 97's show The Realness. "They put their differences aside. It may have taken way too long, but at least they finally settled it. Two guys who are doing very well in life and really have nothing to fight about anymore. They buried the hatchet for their friend Chris Lighty and I couldn't be happier about it."

The two divas got into an argument over a contestant's performance and it led to Nicki cursing out Mariah.
"I told them, I'm not f*ckin' putting up with her f*ckin' highness over there," Nicki yells in the footage obtained by TMZ.
According to TMZ's report, Nicki later threatened to "knock out" Mariah.
After the argument producers halted auditions for the day hoping the two ladies would calm down.
This is definitely not a good look for the show.

G-Unit affiliate Mike Knox stopped by Philadephia radio station Hot 107.9 to talk with Q Deezy about the altercation with MMG rapper Gunplay that went down at the BET Hip Hop Awardsin Atlanta Saturday (September 29th).
Video footage emerged from the fight that showed Gunplay punching Knox in the back. Knox explains that he had just been pepper sprayed after lumping Gunplay up, but the footage doesn't catch that part.
"You know what happens in those type of situations when people are fighting. They usually pepper spray the person that's being the most aggressive or the biggest person, and I was the biggest person," Knox explained. "He wasn't pepper sprayed at the time. They pepper sprayed all of us, so everybody tried to run from it and I slipped. And anybody knows that if you've been pepper sprayed before you can't see anything, you can't really talk, you're trying to get yourself together because you're caught off guard. And I caught a real big batch of it. So when the video starts I'm already on the ground and you can see the pepper spray in the air. Then [Gunplay] jumps up and runs over and starts to hit me in my back. So if that's what he felt that he needed to do to redeem himself, to make it seem like he did something that's cool, but you gotta treat it like a dope fiend."
Knox said that when they caught Gunplay he was running from the Jeezy/Ross altercation.
"[Gunplay] was running from an a$$ whooping," Knox said. "Whatever was going on with that other situation. He was running from that and ran into an a$$ whooping. We seen him and he got a little ignorant. I guess he thought I was security and I damn near broke my hand on him. He got dealt with as if like he was gave a package, a bundle in the hood and he messed it up or he didn't pay his credit for the dope that he be using."
Knox explained that 50 Cent wasn't even involved in the fight. He said that Gunplay was throwing 50's name in there to get media attention.
"I know he wanna do mixtapes and diss records and make it a whole 50 Cent/G-Unit when that's not what it's about," said Knox. "It's about you being a dope fiend and you need help. You need to go and sign up to a drug treatment program and get yourself together. You making your team look bad."
