Rihanna Receives Online Backlash After Following Chris Brown On Twitter

Rihanna/Chris BrownComposed by AccessHollywood.comAccess Hollywood

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Rihanna added ex-boyfriend Chris Brown to the list of people she follows on Twitter on Friday, and shortly thereafter, Brown added Rihanna to his list in return - a move that had the "S&M" singer's fans instantly concerned.

"LOUD era is over... @chrisbrown is in the game again... Welcome back RATED R era ):," Rihanna fan iStan4Rihanna_ Tweeted on Friday.

The 23-year-old Barbados-born beauty had been prohibited from having contact with her R&B star ex until recently, when a judge lifted the restraining order against Brown.

However, Riri was quick to fight back against her fans' online hints that the estranged pair may reunite.

"Its [expletive] twitter, not the alter!" she Tweeted on Saturday. "Calm down."

"Ive wanted @rihanna to tweet me all my life, shes my idol, and she tweetd me somethng bad ):" iStan4Rihanna Tweeted in response.

After a flurry of messages defending the concerned Twitter user, Rihanna was quick to apologize to the disappointed fan, as well as to her legions of followers whom she fondly refers to as her "Navy."

"babygirl I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt or offend u!... Just needed to make it clear to the Navy! I still Stan for u xoxo," she Tweeted, using a portion of the Twitter user's name -- "Stan" -- in place of "stand."

As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Rihanna recently revealed that she felt she didn't seek enough help from a therapist after finding herself the victim of domestic violence in 2009 at the hands of then-boyfriend Brown.

"I don't think I saw her enough," she told Rolling Stone magazine's April 14 issue, regarding the therapist she said she visited just one time following the incident. "I was like, 'You can't help me. I have to understand myself first.' A lot of it was talking out my story in my head, pretending it was somebody else. I started to judge it for what it really was, instead of being biased by my heart."

Rihanna Genuinely Happier With Matt Kemp

Rihanna is the poster girl for bouncing back. It's been 20 months since her heated verbal exchange with former beau Chris Brown turned violent, and she is already preparing the release of her second post-incident album, "Loud." Romantically, she is blissfully happy in a relationship with her Los Angeles Dodgers boyfriend Matt Kemp.

Rihanna is genuinely giddy this time around, she reveals in a cover story in the December 2010 issue of Marie Claire UK. Access Hollywood reported that she told the magazine, "I feel like I smile for real this time. The smiles come from inside, and it exudes in everything I do. People feel my energy is different. When I smile they can tell that it's pure bliss and not just a cover up."

The "Only Girl (In The World)" singer said she knew when her tumultuous relationship with Brown had come to an end.

"One day, I remember I was in New York at the Trump Hotel and I woke up and I just knew I was over it," she said.

But Rihanna believes the altercation happened for a reason. "God has a crazy way of working, and sometimes when stuff happens you feel like, 'What did I do to deserve this? Why was it backfiring on me?'" she said, according to an Us magazine report. "But, I needed that wake-up call in my life. I needed a turning point, and that's what God was giving to me. All [of] this terrible stuff they say to you, it breaks you down."

Brown, on the other hand, has also experienced his own turning point. Since the felony assault, his career has plummeted until recently. His introspective ballad "Deuces" reached No. 1 on Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and was recently remixed with guest vocals from hip-hop elite Kanye West, T.I., Andre 3000, and Drake.

Brown is feeling better these days, he told Access Hollywood. "Everything [is] good, I'm definitely - me personally and mentally - I'm a great guy now," he said. "Definitely just a person who's promoting positivity all the time, so that's just me," he said.

Brown added that he is also working on recording music. "The new album is called ‘F.A.M.E.': Forgiving All My Enemies. Basically, just being able to witness my success, failure and success again," he said. "Being able to see me going from my best times to my worst times and being able to overcome it and growing [in]to a man, as I was doing it."

Last Saturday, Celine Dion gave birth to twin boys, but fans were saddened to learn that Dion actually lost a third child during her pregnancy with multiples. Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon shared their good news, that they were expecting a baby this spring. And Billy Ray Cyrus and wife Tish filed for divorce.

There's been so much baby and couple news over the last few weeks. Let's cross our fingers that next week will yield a good-old fashioned rock star feud. See you then.

Rihanna planning Katy Perry's bachelorette party, Perry says Russell Brand will be 'perfect' baby daddy

(Aladdin Blog) - Rihanna is planning the bachelorette party of fellow pop star Katy Perry, who is engaged to British actor and comedian Russell Brand and who the "California Gurls" singer says will make a "perfect" father if and when the two decide to have children.

“It’s taking up way more time than my tour," Rihanna told the Access Hollywood show recently. "It’s so much pressure. Her wedding is probably going to be the best wedding I’ve ever been to and now I have to match the bachelorette party to that."

"I could have balloons and Disney characters there and she’ll still make it wild," said the R&B and pop star, who is in the middle of her "Last Girl on Earth" tour. "That’s just Katy Perry. There’s no way around that with her."

Perry, a 25-year-old California singer known for her wild fashion style and 35-year-old Brand, a controversial comedian and former MTV host who shot to fame in the 2008 film Forgetting Sarah Marshall, are believed to have begun dating in the fall of 2009. They announced their engagement in January.

"We are excited to get married of course and I think in marriage when you're picking a partner that is one of the things to keep in mind is, 'Would he be a good baby daddy?' and he'll be perfect," Perry said in a recent video interview on her official YouTube channel.

Perry has joked that Brand, a reformed sex and drug addict, "used to basically be a professional prostitute" before he started dating her. The two are set to wed in October, according to UK media reports.

Perry told OnTheRedCarpet.com in April that plans for her wedding are "going great" because Brand is planning the event, adding: "He has really good taste. He buys those brides' magazines and stuff."

Meanwhile, Brand is filming a remake of the 1981 film Arthur with actress Helen Mirren and Perry recently released her second second single, "Teenage Dream", off her third studio album by the same name that hits stores on August 24. She released "California Gurls", the lead track, in May.

The singer just filmed the music video for "Teenage Dream" in her hometown of Santa Barbara and she says it is different than the clip for "California Gurls'.

"I think with 'Teenage Dream' you'll see a very raw, almost vulnerable, like so vulnerable," Perry said. "I had to wear so many less layers of make-up and I would show up to set and they would be like, 'No, take it all off.' I'm nervous. I had to make out with a boy. It was very traumatizing. I was kind of mean to him. I would be the one to call 'cut' because I was like, I can't do this, I feel so horrible.'"

Perry recently revealed the cover of her new album during an internet chat and is set to co-host the Teen Choice Awards on August 9 with the actors from the musical comedy series Glee. Perry is nominated for six awards - Choice Female Hottie, Choice Red Carpet Fashion Icon—Female, Choice Music: Single and Choice Summer Music: Song for "California Gurls", Choice Music: Hook Up for her duet with Timbaland called "If We Ever Meet Again" and Choice Summer Music Star: Female.

Brand earned four nominations - Choice Movie Actor: Comedy for Get Him to the Greek, Choice Movie: Liplock for his smooch with Jonah Hill in the movie, Choice Movie: Fight for his and Hill's fight with Sean Combs in the film and Choice Red Carpet Fashion Icon—Male.

Rihanna is nominated for five Teen Choice Awards - Choice Music: R&B Artist, Choice Music: R&B Track for her song "Rude Boy", Choice Music: Rap/Hip-Hop Track for her duet with Eminem called "Love The Way You Lie", Choice Music: Album—R&B for her album Rated R and Choice Summer Music Star: Female
