Okaaaay. This would only add up if Rihanna was a HUGELY unhinged masochist. 

According to a Star magazine mouthpiece: "All she's ever wanted was to be with him forever. Rihanna is looking for the husband-and-two-kids deal before she turns 25. She believes in fairy tales (*sings* dee dee dee di diddle dee dee), and she wants to live hers with Chris (and his fists). She was totally up front and confessed to him, 'I can't live without you.' (EEEJIT) The pair wasted no time making Rihanna's fairy tale (which involves the threat of physical abuse) come true. They even called a minister to the mansion on exclusive Star Island!"

I've barked everything worth saying on the subject before. However, it is worth pointing out that, when you're 21, there are individuals you think you can't live without. Then, you grow up. Instead, it seems Rihanna would prefer to bring kids (which are real calming) into a combustible relationship so she can fulfill some deluded fairy tale... assuming this skitter is true, of course. This marriage/kids rumour might just be something to coerce fans to buy Chris Brown records again a little sooner than gauged by PR spin types.
When asked to "confirm or deny" the reported nuptials, "Rihanna's publicist refused to comment."

*UPDATE*: Chris Brown is reportedly due in court today over the attack. TMZ have managed to get their mitts on some LAPD Detective notes. They are not nice: "Rihanna read a three-page text message on Brown's phone from a woman. An argument ensued and Brown allegedly tried forcing Rihanna out of the car but couldn't because she was wearing her seat belt. Brown then allegedly shoved Rihanna's head against the passenger window. When Rihanna turned to face him, Brown punched her, then continued punching her while driving, according to the detective's notes... Brown allegedly told Rihanna, 'I'm going to beat the **** out of you when we get home. You wait and see.' Rihanna called her assistant and left a message saying, 'I am on my way home. Make sure the cops are there when I get there.' Brown then replied, 'You just did the stupidest thing ever. I'm going to kill you.' According to the report, Brown continued to punch Rihanna, bit her on her ear, her fingers and put her in a headlock - she almost lost consciousness."

Perhaps someone should explain what the term "fairy tale" means to Rihanna. She seems a bit lost.
