Chris Brown and Karrueche

Singer Chris Brown spent time with his side piece Rihanna over the Christmas and New Year holidays. But friends say he couldn’t wait to get back to the real love of his life, Karrueche Tran, who spent the holidays with friends at far flung exotic locales — on Chris Brown’s dime.

The lovers reunited in Los Angeles over the weekend, when Brown was spotted with Karrueche — in Rihanna’s Porsche — and Rihanna was nowhere in sight! According to celebrity blogger Rhymeswithsnitch, Karrueche accompanied her lover to the launch of Brown’s Black Pyramid Clothing line.

Brown, 23, is playing Rihanna’s fragile emotions like a violin. He knows she needs him like a crack fiend needs a hit. Sources tell Sandrarose.com that Brown “makes concessions” to keep Rihanna from dumping him, and thereby ending his career.

Those concessions or compromises include canceling his financial support of Karrueche’s clothing line The Kill, and not being photographed with Karrueche in public.

So much for the latter compromise.

Meanwhile, sources say Rihanna is making life a living hail for her close friends and assistants. They say she orders them to keep tabs on Brown, and to report his every move back to her.
