THE WEEKLY 5

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Rihanna and Chris Brown are reportedly back together.

According to People, the couple has reunited at a Miami Beach home belonging to Sean "Diddy" Combs, just weeks after Brown, 19, was arrested for allegedly assalting his fellow R&B star girlfriend.

"They're together again. They care for each other," a source told the mag, who added that Brown is "really happy to be with the woman he loves."

The magazine says Brown called Rihanna last week to wish her a happy birthday when she turned 21.

"They've reached out to each other," said a source. "It's been mutual."

Brown was arrested on Feb. 8, the night of the Grammy Awards, for allegedly making criminal threats against Rihanna. He is currently free on $50,000 bail.

The "Kiss Kiss" singer has only spoken out once publicly since the incident, releasing a statement that expressed his remorse.

"Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired," said Brown. "I am seeking the counseling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones and I am committed, with God's help, to emerging a better person."

LOS ANGELES — U2's new album, "No Line on the Horizon," is drawing rave reviews, with many critics calling it some of the band's best material in years.

The Irish rocker's twelth studio album, which drops in the U.S. on Tuesday, garnered five stars from Rolling Stone. The magazine said the new release is the band's best work "in its textural exploration and tenacious melodic grip since 1991's "Achtung Baby."

Q magazine also referenced "Achtung Baby" in awarding U2's new album five stars.

"Simply, what all of this amounts to is the best U2 album since 'Achtung Baby,' " wrote Q. "With time it may prove to be better still."

"No Line" is U2's first release since 2004's "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb," which scored the band eight Grammy Awards and has sold more than 9 million copies to date

U2 began production on "No Line" in 2007 in Morocco. The group then continued the process by working at their own studio in Dublin, Ireland before moving to New York's Platinum Sound Recording Studios. The album was finally completed at Olympic Studios in London.

The new 11-track album once again features the contributions of longtime U2 collaborators Brian Eno, Danny Lanois and Steve Lillywhite.

U2 debuted the album's first single, "Get On Your Boots," in March. It has since performed the song on both the Grammy and Brit Awards.

While many have given "No Line" the thumbs up in approval, there are some skeptics who question whether lead singer Bono's political messages will eventually alienate the band's loyal following.

"It's becoming increasingly difficult to hear U2's music without filtering it through your feelings about the other Bono, that strident, sanctimonious swirl of idealism, agenda and ego," wrote J. Freedom du Lac recently in the Washington Post.

LOS ANGELES — Police in Los Angeles are investigating the apparent leak of a photo that appears be of Rihanna after she was allegedly assaulted by her boyfriend, fellow singer Chris Brown.

Shortly after the photograph was posted, the Los Angeles Police Department issued a statement saying that it "takes seriously its duty to maintain the confidentiality of victims of domestic violence."

"The Department launched an immediate internal investigation and subsequently filed a personnel complaint," read the statement. "A violation of this type is considered serious misconduct, with penalties up to and including termination."

Rihanna, who turned 21 today, and Brown, 20, had attended Clive Davis' annual pre-Grammy party in Beverly Hills on Feb. 7 before reportedly getting into an argument on the car ride home. They were sitting in Brown's rented Lamborghini in the city's Hancock Park neighborhood shortly after midnight when the alleged assault reportedly took place.

Brown was arrested the following evening on suspicion of making criminal threats against Rihanna, whose real name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty. He is currently free on $50,000 bail.

Rihanna is said to be working closely with investigators in building a domestic violence case against Brown, who made his first public comments on Sunday.

"Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired," said the R&B star in a statement. "I am seeking the counseling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones and I am committed, with God's help, to emerging a better person."

There has been much speculation about the incident, including the injuries suffered by Rihanna. In his statement, Brown urged the public to refrain from rushing to judgement based on the current information out there.

"Much of what has been speculated or reported on blogs and/or reported in the media is wrong," he said. "While I would like to be able to talk about this more, until the legal issues are resolved, this is all I can say except that I have not written any messages or made any posts to Facebook, on blogs or any place else. Those posts or writings under my name are frauds."
