After Chris Brown, 24, and Rihanna, 25, decided to call it quits, the rapper immediately turned to his ex-girlfriend, Karrueche Tran. Although it appears the “Fine China” singer and Karrueche may be getting back together, a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that Chris doesn’t want a serious relationship right now.

Chris Brown’s Relationship Status: He’s Not Ready For Anything Serious

“He ain’t about to hop into a relationship and be serious with anybody — not Rihanna and not Karrueche,” the source explains. “He ain’t about to be forced into doing anything.”

The source adds, “He’s in a serious relationship with his music, his career and his life. He’s doing him, and learning about Chris these days!”

Why Breezy Enjoys Karrueche’s Company

Although Chris doesn’t want to start something serious with Karrueche, the pair have been spending a lot of time together lately. On May 19, Chris brought Karrueche along with him to Las Vegas to attend the Billboard Music Awards. Although he’s not interested in being in a relationship with her, HollywoodLife.com has EXCLUSIVELY learned that he really enjoys her company and spending time with her.

“They’re super close these days and hanging real tough too,” the source adds. “To him, she’s like the best person to have fun with. She’s a homie to him, a best friend.”

Although the two used to be lovers, the source adds that for now, Karrueche fulfills every single one of Chris’ needs.

“She’s like an everyday utility player. I don’t mean that in a negative way, either. Her vibe is just the business.”

Now it’s your turn to sound off, HollywoodLifers. Do you think Karrueche will be cool with just being friends with Chris?

Is Rihanna sending Chris Brown a very explicit message? It sure looks that way! The 25-year-old Unapologetic artist stepped out in New York on May 15 sporting a very raunchy t-shirt that seems to be sending Chris a specific message — she doesn’t need him anymore!

Rihanna Wears A ‘Self-Love’ T-Shirt

Rihanna turned heads, literally, as she left her NYC hotel wearing a t-shirt with a pretty provocative picture! The shirt shows a woman with her hand in her underwear with the title “D.I.Y.”, which stands for “do it yourself.”

Wow, there’s nothing subtle about this message at all. Is she telling Chris she can take care of business herself?

Rihanna Was Sick Of Chris Not Putting Their Relationship First

It’s apparent that Rihanna is trying to get over the fact that she put in 200 percent in her relationship with Chris, and received nothing in return. As HollywoodLife.com previously reported, one of the reasons that Rihanna and Chris split was because he wasn’t putting much effort into their relationship.

“It’s frustrating for her because she has a big heart,” the source says. The relationship pretty much dissolved because Rihanna expected Chris to put more effort into making the relationship work.

“She gives and gives and loves him hard but there is only so much a girl can do,” says the insider. “She doesn’t think Chris knows that or even cares.”

Now it’s your turn to sound off, HollywoodLifers. Do YOU think Rihanna is sending Chris a message? Vote below!

Taylor Swift – thank you for NOT being quiet in your newly-released single, “Begin Again,” about an ex-love who made you feel so badly about being yourself that you were actually afraid to date again!

Haven’t we all been there, HollywoodLifers? Haven’t we all dated at least one lousy guy too, Taylor (who seems to have experienced several jerks in her  romantic life)?

A Bad Romance

Now it appears, Taylor, that you are venting about your romance with Jake Gyllenhaal, both in your huge hit, “We are Never Ever Getting Back Together”, and in your newly released single, “Begin Again”. I think it’s empowering for other young women to listen to you do it.

In “Begin Again”, you let us know that your ex-love didn’t like a lot about you. He didn’t like you wearing high heels, presumably because at 5′ 11″, you may have been looking down on him and his ego couldn’t handle that. You share that your ex didn’t like the music you listened to, kept you waiting at cafes, wasn’t a gentlemen (he didn’t pull your chair out), didn’t think you were funny and looked down his nose at your James Taylor record collection.

The whole experience of being belittled by your ex made you think that “all love ever does is break, and burn, and end.” And it made you afraid to try dating again.

That’s so poignant. Here you are, an absolute superstar — a talented musician, songwriter and performer, an actress and a devoted humanitarian who has raised and donated millions of dollars for victims of natural disasters and for children’s cancer, and some celebrity jerk tries to tell you that you’re not good enough for him.

Why You’re Too Good For Them

That is so outrageous. But it is so typical. Just because a guy is a celebrity, whether he’s Jake Gyllenhaal, John Mayer or Joe Jonas (all guys you’ve dated Taylor, and apparently dissed in song) doesn’t mean they can’t be the same as the every day jerks that so many of us have gotten involved with.

Why is it that when a guy, clearly feels like he might be out of his league, he does his best to make you feel uncool, unimportant and unworthy.

In your case Taylor, it must have been so hurtful to have your boyfriend not like your own music — “You would hide away and find your peace of mind, With some indie record that’s much cooler than mine,” you sang on “We are Never Ever Getting Back Together.”

You Don’t Have To Put Up With Players

And thank you for singing out against the men who get off on playing games with the women they woo, when you sounded off in “Dear John”, presumably about John Mayer.

We all know and have experienced that guy type, too. The ones that work hard to make you fall for them and then when you’re roped in, start making weird relationship rules. They get turned on by playing mind games.

“And I lived in your chess game, But you changed the rules everyday, Wonderin’ which version of you I might get on the phone, tonight,” you sang in “Dear John.”

Yes, we’ve all been there, too. And it’s confusing and heartbreaking.

So Taylor, thanks so much for putting your foot down, taking out your guitar and taking on these toxic relationship jerks for all of us.

Thanks for calling them out on the carpet and singing what we’d all love to say!

Heather Locklear is now engaged to her longtime love, actor Jack Wagner– hooray! After enduring two painful divorces to rockers Tommy Lee (they were married from 1986-1994) and Richie Sambora (1996-2006, when he famously left her for former BFF Denise Richards), she’s ready to take the plunge again. We’re hoping third time’s the charm!

Were so happy to see that 49-year-old Denise has not given up on love! After dating Jack since 2007, Heather has been spotted with one rockin’ rock on her finger, and though we haven’t gotten a peek yet, we’re sure it’s stunning! Heather has endured a lot of heartbreak in the public eye, and we’re glad to see her getting a happy ending!

Are YOU excited for Heather’s upcoming nuptials, HollywoodLifers?

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez have fallen hard for one another. Although they sometimes refer to the other as “a friend”, the two aren’t shy about sharing their real feelings when they think they’re out of the media’s eye. In fact, they say “I love you” all the time! But is eight months into a relationship too soon to really know how you feel?

While shopping at Armani Exchange’s 51st and Fifth Avenue location in NYC June 28, the two repeatedly dropped the “L” bomb. “Justin and Selena were holding hands as they shopped and said ‘I love you’ to each other not once, but several times in public. Everyone could hear them,” a source tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively. “I guess they want to share their love with the world. They were at the store about 5:30 p.m. and stayed for about 20 minutes or so.”

Adds the insider, “Justin’s bodyguard wouldn’t let anyone get to close to them, but that didn’t stop them from showing off their affection for each other. They were just in their own world…dazed and in love!”

But is eight months too soon? Well, take Justin’s pal Kim Kardashian as an example. Her entire relationship — including saying the “L” word and a marriage proposal – occurred within six months. Just to make myself clear, that’s two months less than Justin and Selena have actually been dating. So yes, it is totally OK to throw “love” around in this time frame.

In fact, I believe it’s OK to tell your man I love you any time after you hit the three-month relationship mark. Of course, this depends on a) whether you actually feel genuine love or not b) how fast your relationship is progressing and c) whether he says it first. NEVER be the first person to tell him you love him — let him tell you, or you are going to freak him out and potentially drive him away.

We don’t know when J&S first started confessing these massive feelings for one another, but if they did only happen really recently, then there’s a very, very good chance the two have a shot at lasting for a long time. Emotions that build over time are the best, as they’re genuine.

Regardless, it’s a wonderful thing when your feelings are reciprocated. All you need (to hear) is love, right?

Should you ever get something permanent on your body for a guy who may not be around forever?

She may have been coerced into revealing the meaning behind her newest tattoo, but Angelina Jolie finally ‘fessed up that her latest piece of body art is in baby daddy Brad Pitt’s honor. But should she have gotten something permanent on her body again, given that she’s made this mistake before and had to have her ink altered or removed?

During a humanitarian visit to Tunisia in April, Angie showed off a seventh set of coordinates, which were assumed to the birthplace for yet another yet-to-be-adopted child (she has six kids already: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Vivienne and Knox). However, during an interview with Extra, the gorgeous star set the record straight.

“Well, if they know that it’s latitude and longitude they would have figured out quickly that it was Brad‘s birthplace,” she snapped. “It doesn’t take much investigation to figure that one out. [The coordinates are] Shawnee, Oklahoma.”

This isn’t Angie‘s first time getting a tattoo for a man, though. She had “Billy Bob” inscribed on her left shoulder in reference to ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton, but had it removed after they divorced. She also covered up a matching tat that she had gotten with BB on the inside of her right forearm with a design that means “strength of will.”

We do know this: Angelina believes that a) either her love with Brad will last forever or b) regardless of what happens, he’s the father of her children and, thus, has earned the right for a prime spot on her body. And let’s be honest: Angelina Jolie is going to do what Angelina Jolie wants. But clearly even she has made mistakes before. So should you do as Angie did and get ink for you guy?

The answer here is a resounding: NO, NO, NO! Never get something on your body for someone else. Your body is your temple, so why would you let someone else mark it up or leave reminders of things that may not last? If you’re going to get a tat that’s in any way, shape or form related to a guy you love, make sure it’s about you and not him. For example, getting a tattoo in honor of the place you fell in love instead of the actual man you fell in love with is a beautiful reminder of a wonderful time in your life. You’ll always have that to hold on to. If you get a reminder of the guy himself, well, I can only say that things change, love changes.

Love doesn’t always last forever...but tattoos do. If your relationship doesn’t work out, why would you want a permanent reminder of love lost?
