We thought the Chris Brown and Rihanna saga was over now that a judge had made a ruling. Brown is supposed to stay away from Rihanna, keeping at least 9 meters away at public events.

It turns out that Rihanna is not happy with the ruling because she still wants to be friends with her ex-boyfriend. A source reportedly said that the pair thought the ruling was "unnecessary and ridiculous."

The pair have already broken the rules because they have stayed in touch telephonically. The source also said that they don't plan on getting back together but they do want to remain close friends.

Well, it might take more than a bunch of flowers, but, according to reports, Chris Brown and Rihanna are working on improving their relationship.

According to the New York Daily News, the pair are trying to remove a court order which enforces Brown to stay at least 50 yards from Rihanna as they'll never be able to patch things up while that's in place. A source said both parties think it's "unnecessary and ridiculous."

However, it didn't look like Rihanna was too bogged down with legal drama during a trip out in New York yesterday - the singer looked edgy but summery in a white shirt, loafers and hotpants.

CaribWorldNews, LOS ANGELES, CA, Tues. June 30, 2009: Rihanna was the only Caribbean singer nominated for the 2009 BET Awards. On Sunday night the singer managed to grab just one of the three awards she was nominated for.

The sexy Grammy Award-winning Bajan singer, who recently suffered through a swarm of media publicity surrounding domestic violence at the hands of ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, won the Viewer's Choice award for her collaboration with T.I. on `Live Your Life.`

The duo failed to win in the Video of the Year and Best Collaboration categories, in which they were also nominated. Both singers were absent from the awards ceremony.

Rihanna and Chris Brown would both like to get rid of a court order dictating the former flames are to remain 50 yards away from each other at all times.The no-contact clause is part of a protection order that was handed down Tuesday after Brown pleaded guilty in a criminal proceeding to one count of felony assault. Brown’s assault charge stemmed from an altercation before the Grammy Awards in February that left Rihanna battered and bruised.
 
“They think it’s unnecessary and ridiculous,” said a mutual friend of the former couple about the no-contact clause. “After, Ri and Chris talked on the phone for almost an hour and really worked at becoming friends. They’re solid now.”

Former lovers Rihanna and Chris Brown reportedly are looking to have a court-ordered protection order banning the pair from contacting one another lifted because they want to work on their friendship.
A Los Angeles Supreme Court judge sentenced Brown to community service and probation on Monday after he pleaded guilty to assaulting the Rihanna following an altercation in February that left Rihanna battered and bruised.
Brown was also told he must stay at least 50 yards away from Rihanna and keep a distance of 10 yards from her if they attend the same event.
But the stars are reportedly eager to have the ban removed because they consider it "unnecessary" and have already broken the order by patching things up over the phone.
A source close to the pair tells the New York Daily News, "They think it's unnecessary and ridiculous.
"After (the court proceeding) Ri and Chris talked on the phone for almost an hour and really worked at becoming friends. They're solid now."
However, the insider insists the stars are not interested in reviving their romance: "That's 100 percent done. They aren't looking to hook back up again. They're both moving on and going their separate ways."
The former couple reunited briefly following their pre-Grammy fight, but split soon afterwards. Rihanna has since been romantically linked to rising rapper Drake.

Romancing RIHANNA appears to be paying off for R&B star DRAKE - he's landed two new songs in America's top 10 singles chart.
His Best I Ever Had is the week's greatest airplay gainer on the Billboard chart, and Every Girl, his collaboration with rapper Lil Wayne, is the biggest digital gainer.

The songs have jumped up to numbers three and 10 respectively on the new countdown.
But the Black Eyed Peas continue their Hot 100 dominance, scoring an 11th week on top with Boom Boom Pow. The group's I Gotta Feeling remains at two for a second week.

Knock You Down, Keri Hilson's collaboration with Kanye West and Ne-Yo, drops to four and rapper Pitbull's I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho) falls a spot to five.

The new chart's highest new entry belongs to New Boyz's You're a Jerk, which debuts at 32.

A representative for disgraced singer CHRIS BROWN has dismissed reports the star leaked a new song about his ex RIHANNA just days after he pleaded guilty to assaulting the UMBRELLA hitmaker.
Internet gossips were sent into a spin when a new set of tunes recorded by Brown appeared online - with one of the tracks, Not My Fault, apparently hinting at the row on the eve of the Grammy Awards in February (09) which left the Bajan beauty battered and bruised.
In the song, Brown is heard singing, "Shorty is caught up, from a long night. She's ready to fall, but see, it's all right ... That's not my fault, right?"
However, a spokesperson for Brown's label, Jive Records, has slammed reports the songs were recorded around the time of the attack or following the court case on 22 June (09) - insisting they are old demos.
In a statement, the rep explains, "Countering misleading reports of 'new' Chris Brown music: there are no 'new' songs from Chris Brown currently being promoted by Chris or his record label.
"There are several old demos circulating that are being falsely promoted as new material from Chris."
The Kiss Kiss singer was ordered to stay at least 50 yards away from Rihanna, serve six months of hard labour in his home state of Virginia and complete five years supervised probation for felony assault.

Chris Brown's plea deal -- which saved him from a jail term for attacking his pop star ex-girlfriend Rihanna -- was yesterday condemned as "a joke" by justice campaigners.

The 20-year-old R'n'B star admitted assaulting then girlfriend Rihanna just hours before the pair were due to perform at the Grammy Awards in February.

Under the terms of the bargain, Brown is likely to serve no jail time. Instead he will do six months' community service and be placed on probation.Domestic violence campaigners said the recommended sentence sent out the wrong message and could discourage women reporting violence.
