Two Confusing Relationships

Musicians! What are they thinking?

Two little tidbits came across my desk this week and they're both weird to me for different reasons. 

The first one, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. Kimye. Something about this coupling is amazing. I love these two basket cases together. Especially after Kanye's Amber Rose years ("Imma let you finish..."), I think Kim is the perfect partner for Yeezy. 

This week, Kanye deleted ALL his tweets (his tweets are epic) and left us with this:

BE BACK SOON.

That's it. One tweet. I saw it the other day in my feed and I thought, "Where the hell is he going?" Well, he's following Kim. On Twitter. 

Only Kim. 

He unfollowed everyone and only follows his lady love. Whom he dresses. He picks out her outfits, she bought him a million dollar car. This match is made in crazy-celebrity-reality-show-heaven. I think I love them. 

On the other side of the coin, something I am finding reprehensible: Rihanna and Chris Brown are back together. They claim they are "just friends" but have been caught kissing and went on a date to a Jay-Z concert (Jay will NOT be happy about this—Ri is his protege and he HATES CB for that infamous fight) a few nights ago. While Chris' girlfriend, Karruche Tran sat at home. When news broke of their date on the blogs, Karruche tweeted, "Bye baby" and a few hours later, Chris tweeted something about everyone being "free."

I understand that people make mistakes and that they can change, but I'm worried about Ri's decision and what it says to her young fans. He may be very sorry, and maybe he's changed, but I'd be hard pressed to explain to my 12-year-old daughter (the hypothetical one here) why she shouldn't' stay with an abusive partner even though her favourite singer appears to have gotten back together with hers. 

I'm shaking my head at this one big time. 

So, spill it! Do you think it's a good idea that Rihanna has gotten back together with Chris Brown? Are Kimye a perfect match?
