Rihanna & Chris Brown: Attacked popstar "can't be without" boyfriend

The pretty singer, who suffered a bruised face and split lip after Brown (19) apparently attacked her two weeks ago, is willing to give him a second chance.

And the RnB star has been doing everything he can to get back into Rihanna’s good books – the 'New York Daily News' reported that he bombarded her with expensive gifts for her recent 21st birthday, including a necklace and a diamond bracelet.
He also called her at her Hollywood home to wish her happy birthday.

His charm offensive seems to be working on the singer, who misses her boyfriend despite what happened.

A friend told the paper: “Rihanna so wanted Chris with her on her big day, but obviously realises why they can’t be together right now. But it’s becoming more and more clear that she can’t be without him.”

Rihanna has accused Brown of the attack and continues to help Los Angeles police with their investigation. Brown, who is set to to go to court over the alleged assault, released a recent statement saying was "sorry" about the incident.

Musicians who have suffered domestic abuse include Tina Turner, who was assaulted for years by husband Ike, while Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown famously fought for years.
