Chris Brown's manager, Tina Davis, was named by TMZ as the woman behind the text message that sparked his alleged beating of Rihanna. She has since denied the claims, saying: "The rumors in circulation are false. There are no emails between Ms. Davis and Mr. Brown of the type which have been described in media reports."

Chris Brown made a brief appearance in court on March 5, but did not enter a plea to felony charges. He has been charged with two felonies -- felony assault and making criminal threats -- in relation to his alleged assault on Rihanna.

Even with all of the legal drama, various reports have claimed that Rihanna and Brown are back together, though none have been confirmed. E! News also reported that the two were working on a duet together.
