On February 8, 2009 Robyn Rihanna Fenty was allegedly battered by her boyfriend Chris Brwon. Although Brown has been charged with two felonies for allegedly attacking Rihanna, rumors continue to swirl that the couple are back together. Reports also indicate the two are recording a song together about love and that they may co-author a book about domestic violence.
The pair have reunited almost three weeks after Brown, 19, allegedly battered the "Umbrella" singer. "They're together again. They care for each other," says the source. The on-again couple are currently spending time together at one of Sean "Diddy" Combs's homes, on Miami Beach's Star Island. In its latest issue, PEOPLE reports that Brown called Rihanna on her 21st birthday one week ago. "He called to wish her happy birthday," a source told the magazine. "They've reached out to each other. It's been mutual." Brown was booked by LAPD for making criminal threats but the case has not yet been presented to the District Attorney, who will ultimately determine which charges, if any, will be prosecuted.
Many people think Rihanna is making a big mistake by going back to Chris. Oprah Winfrey warned Rihanna and women everywhere Thursday that if a man hits you once, he'll hit you again."I've said before love doesn't hurt, and if a man hits you once, he will hit you again," Winfrey said during a show about domestic violence.The show aired live from Chicago with guest Tyra Banks comes after last month's domestic incident between singers Rihanna and Chris Brown. "It's o sad that even when you grow up in an environment and you disdain that environment, you really cannot help yourself until someone helps you," Winfrey said.Tyra Banks, who's interviewed both Brown and Rihanna separately on her show, said both singers have told her about their previous bouts with domestic abuse. "Rihanna told me that her parents used to argue so intensely and she used to get these headaches, almost migraines…and it was almost living hell for her," Banks said. "The moment her parents separated, the headaches went away." Will Rihanna headaches come back?Banks also said Brown witnessed domestic violence in home with a man his mother was with. That scarred him so much she said that Brown used to pee in his bed."When you grew up in an environment where there is abuse, it's more acceptable to you," Winfrey said. "If you go back with a man who hits you it's because you don't think you're worthy of being with a man who won't." A massage to Rihanna and to all the women in the world that continue to stay with their partner who domestic abuse them, you are worthy of being with a man who won’t. You are worthy of being loved.

final story
Frenzy started about two years ago when I was blindly introduced to the Twilight world. A former classmate of mine Magen Keely was sitting a row away from when a caught a glance of the book cover. The whole hour I was contemplating what the book could be about, than I overheard Kaleab W. say “it’s about a vampire and his lover.” Well that did not help me out at all. I had a hundred questions and the only way I was going to find out was if I read the book.
Twilight, written by Stephanie Meyer is about Bella Swan, seventeen year old girl who moves to a town called Forks, Washington from Phoenix, Arizona to live with her dad, Charley. Bella finds her life upside down when she falls for the handsome Edward Cullen. She finds him very interesting and wants to know more about him. When she finds the truth about Edward and the rest of the Cullen family, she confronts the mysterious Edward. Edward was feud of her human ways as much as she was of his kind. They fell madly in love with each other. Their love was like Romeo and Juliet’s love, as well as problems they may have faced, but with a promising ending. There was something about a forbidden love that seems to draw people in deeper into this vampire love story. The book does a phenomenal job depicting their love for one another. Edward and Bella grow closer together as time went by.
Meyer had not written anything much before then. Her main creative outlets were scrapbooking and making elaborate Halloween costumes. She graduated from Brigham Young University with a bachelor's degree in English. She lives with her husband and three young sons in Phoenix, Arizona. She had a dream one summer: a young woman was talking to a beautiful, sparkling man in a sunlit meadow. The man was a vampire. They were in love, and he was telling the girl how hard it was for him to keep from killing her. The dream was so vivid that she absolutely had to write it down. Then she kept on writing. She wrote the entire story of the young woman and the vampire from start to finish.
The novel was written from Bella’s perspective. I found her to be very intriguing and complex. Many readers can relate to Bella. Many young adults, just like Bella now-days come from a broken family, and can understand where she is coming from. Merone Ayele just happens to be in the same boat as Ms Swam. And knows exactly how Bella is feeling when she had to go to a new school in the middle of the year. ”It is not easy by no means, but we just have to keep our heads up, I just wish Bella the best of luck. She is more real than we think.” I also can relate to moving to a new town, a new school in the middle of the school year just like Ayele mentioned.
Meyer, 34, is a huge success at selling books, but she's becoming something more. People dress up like her characters. They write their own stories about them and post their tales on the Internet. When she appears at a bookstore, 3,000 people go to meet her. There are Twilight-themed rock bands. Meyer has, like one of her vampires, turned into something rare and more than merely human: a literary phenomenon.
This book is truly one of the best books I have ever read. And I know many people that agree with me on this one, including Magen Keely. Who said “I am not a big fan of reading. It is not something I would do on my free time. But this, this is another story. I have never heard of a teenager falling for a vampire.” When I asked if she would recommend this book and to whom, this is what she said. “I could not put the book down. It is a must read. Anyone and everyone who loves love should read twilight.”
