We were warned. Wrigley's publicly unveiled its new gum jingles today with Chris Brown pimping Doublemint (forever!), Ne-Yo cheesing with a pack of Big Red, and country singer/ballroom dancer Julianne Hough posing with her Juicy Fruit.

The unsubtle product placement at the beginning of Chris Brown's "Forever" video and the repetition of "double your pleasure, double your fun" in the lyrics should have been a hint that the chart-topping ditty was more than just a song, although I don't fault anyone for failing to guess that the song is actually an extended jingle paid for by Wrigley's. I mean, who knew?

Wrigley's came clean today about the annoying-as-hell song, which will soon be featured in 30-second commercials for the popular chewing gum.

The Rihanna and Chris Brown Are In Love Awards, aka the MTV Movie Awards, aired !live! on MTV last night, and as many times as the camera panned to a cuddly Chris Brown and Rihanna in the crowd, I wouldn't have known that anyone else was there unless I looked at the photos. Yes, they are together and clearly unafraid to show it publicly. Yes, Rihanna is wearing a dress that is best photographed standing up. More pics after the jump.

Perhaps Rihanna and her best friend/brother Chris Brown thought that they were safe to kiss without worrying about paparazzi at a Miami KFC. They were wrong. I feel like such a tween right now, but here goes: "OMG, they are the cutest couple. Chris + Rihanna 4eeeevvveerrrrrrr. [TMZ]

Someone forgot to tell Jordin Sparks that the story everyone is going with is that Rihanna and Chris Brown are like "brother and sister." She spilled the beans, Mary J.-style, in a recent interview in the UK.

Are Chris Brown and Rihanna dating?

Yeah, they are. It was really cool because I walked on the set and she was sitting there with Chris Brown and I was like I can’t believe she’s here. She came and she told me that she loved No Air, and that it was one of her favourite songs. It was really cool hearing that from one of my peers. She just wanted to support him.

Chris Brown and Rihanna were pelted with questions about their relationship status on the red carpet of the Kids Choice Awards (but of course!), and they both denied having a romantic relationship, insisting that they were just friends. In fact, Rihanna went so far as to say that Chris is her "best, best friend" and also like her brother. They should stick with the best friends line — best friends that publicly make out on occasion are far more normal than brothers and sisters that do.

Celebrity children must love the Nickelodeon's Kids Choice Awards, mainly because their parents are actually hanging out with them for once. Will Smith came with his budding actor and actress, Holly Robinson Peete had her brood in tow, Tracey Edmonds brought a Babyface Mini Me, and Nelly arrived with all of St Louis. Pics after the jump.

ALL RIGHT, ALREADY Rihanna and Chris Brown are a couple! We all know! They can stop publicly groping each other, because I think the news has spread to every corner of the globe. The latest spotting was in Paris, where Us spies caught them engaging in "sexy PDA" at a fashion week party. "By the end of the evening, they were kissing passionately, and Rihanna was lying in Chris’s arms," the eyewitness adds. "If people weren’t sure if they were going out before, they certainly knew afterwards!" Meanwhile, Rihanna continues to maintain she is single. Do you want people to know or don't you? Make up your minds, kids.

Whether it's for publicity, for real, or for fun, Rihanna and Chris Brown's "cozy" behavior as of last is causing a buzz. Apparently, they were looking like more-than-friends at Rihanna's 20th birthday party at Les Deux in Hollywood.

"There was frosting all over Rihanna's face and the group was hysterically laughing to the point of almost tears," a guest tells us. When partygoers (like Kanye West and Wilmer Valderrama) weren't flinging cupcakes, they offered a standing ovation after Chris Brown sang an a capella version of "Happy Birthday." While Brown has denied that he and the birthday gal are dating ("We're just friends … we hang out," he told PEOPLE at a post Grammy party), a party guest tells us the two were cuddling and acting "very cozy all night."

If cuddling and acting cozy is the equivalent of making a relationship publicly known, then someone really wants us to know that Rihanna and Chris Brown are a couple.

Since that Jay-Z thing was really going nowhere..

Chris Brown was spotted on a date with Rihanna at Barneys after his performance Wednesday night at Newark’s Prudential Center. Brown has confessed his crush on the Caribbean diva in the past, telling Us Weekly that they flirted at the 2007 VMAs but "we haven’t taken it to that next level yet."
