Well, So Much for Counseling + Those Anger Management Sessions Eh, Chris?

The first pictures of Chris Brown since the singer's arrest and shocking reconciliation with Rihanna are a sharp contrast to the first glimpse the public
had of his girlfriend in a leaked police photo which showed her bruised and battered.

Snapped on Star Island near Miami, Florida where he and the "Umbrella" singer are staying, Brown is shown smiling, riding a jet ski, and flexing his arm muscles. A pose that Rihanna is apparently familiar with given their rocky relationship leading up to the Grammy night incident. Suddenly the guys on Tool Academy seem like quite the catch.

Almost three weeks after he allegedly assaulted Rihanna, the couple have rekindled their romance and are currently holed up at a palatial home owned by Sean "Diddy" Combs. Rihanna arrived at La Casa de Diddy four days ago, according to a source. She's not listening to anyone, says a Rihanna pal. And of course Puff got involved in this. Because the never-married father of five is a real Dr. Phil when it comes to relationships.

Jay-Z, who threatened to open a can of whup ass on Chris for what he did, has reportedly sent one of his burly bodyguards to shadow Rihanna.

And though no bruising was visible in photos taken of her in Mexico last week, Rihanna showed none of Brown's seemingly carefree attitude. According to reports, the relationship apparently started warming up again after Brown called Rihanna to wish her a happy 21st birthday. Rihanna then reached out to Brown.

Learning that his daughter and Chris Brown had gotten back together, Rihanna's father says he supports the singer in her decisions. "Whatever road she chooses, I'm behind her," said Ronald Fenty, who was initially opposed to his daughter going back to Brown. Can't he ground her or something?

Meanwhile, the L. A. County District Attorney is expected to make a decision soon on whether to charge Brown for the alleged beating on February 8. Though she had reportedly been cooperating with authorities, Rihanna has not filed charges against her boyfriend. Her parents are reportedly pleading with her not to worry about how jail time might affect Brown's career, according to Us magazine.

Who would have thought that we'd miss the chaos of Britney Spears and Kevin Federline?
