Rumors are circulating that Rihanna and Chris Brown have decided to take a break following their way-too-fast reconciliation, with Brown staying back East while she returned to California.

Rihanna seems to be trying to push her troubles away, appearing in public and even going out with friends to Hollywood hotspot, Les Deux last night.

... the songstress, who has possibly split with Chris Brown, partied it up in a private area at the club for three hours with her four galpals.

RiRi ran into some trouble on her way home however, as cops pulled over her vehicle for having tinted windows and no front license plate. (OK!)

To be fair to the cops who pulled her over, it wasn't because she was black, they just wanted to make sure Chris Brown wasn't in the car beating the crap out of her again. I guess this means those marriage rumors are in fact false even though neither party issued a denial? Perhaps Rihanna realized that by staying with Brown she was deep-sixing her career almost as badly as he did. Remember kids, love is temporary, but a large bank account lasts forever (so long as you don't invest with Bernie Madoff).
