Lost in all the Chris Brown/Rihanna possible reunion madness is the fact that CB has a serious girlfriend -- and sources close to her tell TMZ the two of them are doing quite well in their relationship ... thank you very much!
Sources close to Karrueche Tran tell TMZ she is unfazed by the recent rash of RiRi rumors. In fact, we're told CB and KT are now actually living together.
As for CB showing up to Rihanna's birthday party, we're told that didn't bother Karrueche either ... because he came home to her that night and whisked her to Miami the next day to celebrate Valentine's Day.
According to our sources, Chris professes his love to Karrueche daily and he has no plans to leave her for Rihanna.
Almost makes you say, "Awwww" ... until you remember ...

1303Whitney Houston -- ROCKIN' OUT to Madonna's Halftime Show [Video] | TMZ.com
Just five days before her death, Whitney Houston was GETTIN' DOWN to Madonna's Super Bowl halftime show ... singing and dancing to the music like her old self ... and TMZ has the footage.
It all went down Feb. 5 at a bar inside the Regent Beverly Wilshire hotel ... where Whitney watched the entire game with close family and friends. For the record, we're told she didn't have one drink.
But she did let loose ... because when Madge busted out Vogue ... a super-excited Whitney sang along and even busted out some of the trademark Vogue dance moves.
Sources close to the actress tell us ... Whitney RAVED about the performance and then reminisced about the days when she would battle Madonna on the music charts.
At least someone was a fan of the show ...
906'American Idol' Castoff Chelsea Sorrell -- Hair's to You, Kid! | TMZ.com
Turns out the cosmetologist from Stokesdale, NC -- who was booted this week -- has translated into big business for the beauty school she graduated from. Leon's Beauty School in Greensboro has been offering a Chelsea-related special cut & color (with a 10% discount) ever since she made it on the show ... and it's been a big seller.
The school says they have done 26 Chelsea styles so far and despite her ousting from the show, they plan to keep the offer going until the end of the summer.
And get this ... Chelsea isn't the first alum they've had on the show -- Austin Simmons made it to the Hollywood round in season nine.

Mississippi State Makes Football History With First End Zone Twitter Hashtag
There's no question that Twitter has enhanced the entertainment value of sports, reality TV, award shows and much more. But this takes it to a new level.
The annual college football battle between Mississippi State and Mississippi will feature the first Twitter end zone hashtag in the history of college football.
MSU has painted #HAILSTATE (the school’s traditional rallying cry and fight song, in hashtag form) in its north end zone. Visitors beware. Fear the Twitter!
College teams typically decorate end zones with school name, mascot nickname or color scheme, so Mississippi State’s Twitter-based variation has its critics.
It also has its proponents.
“It’s a phenomenal idea,” said Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, who likely wishes he thought of it. “It’s a fun way to involve social media at the game, and to TV viewers it’s guaranteed to stir up some emotions between both teams.”
We just hope someone on either team scores a touchdown, whips out a smartphone and Tweets about it. That would be the most worthwhile 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty since T.O.'s infamous Sharpie autograph session.

All you have to do to play is click "Comments" below and submit your best caption(s)! Go to it! We will announce a winner Wednesday. Best of luck, all ...
Reggie Bush
Look out, Kris Humphries. Reggie Bush is coming for your woman! Sort of.
The former New Orleans Saints running back has been traded to the Miami Dolphins for backup safety Jonathon Amaya and handed a new two-year contract worth $10 million. And you know who considers that city a second home, don't you? Who parties all the time at the Fontainebleau and whose family owns a boutique on the beach?
Bush and Kardashian dated for years, but broke up because their schedules kept them apart too often. But that would change with Bush's new team.
Yes, Kim is getting married on August 20. But her reality show seems more desperate than ever for ratings. Wouldn't dumping one athlete for another be the perfect new season storyline?
What do you think? Should Reggie and Kim get back together?

Kardashians Place Mason Dash at Front and Center of Self-Serving Twitter War
Look, Kardashian family: we understand you'll do and say anything for attention. We comprehend the concept of a publicist and of concocting your own feuds and rumors in order to remain relevant.
But can you please leave innocent children out of your self-serving games?!?
Yesterday, over the course of several painful hours, Kim Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick engaged in a pointless, fake public feud that centered around Kourtney and Scott's son, Mason Dash. It started when Kim posted the following photo of her nephew and Tweeted:
Please nobody tell Kourtney I just twittered a pic of Mase, she just might kill me! I just couldn't resist!
On cue, Disick called his quasi sister-in-law out, writing about his baby mama: "She's not going to be pleased."
From there, Kourtney chimed in, clearly being nothing but pleased: "Everyone told on u kim for showing a pic of Mason! At least u r an incredible auntie," she wrote.
Yes, how dare everyone tell on Kim... for posting a photo that went out to her giant base of Twitter followers, including Scott and Kourtney?!?
Let's hope that Mason skips right past crawling and walking and just learns how to sprint. The kid has to make a run for it before it's too late.

#EANF#
We were surprised that Kris Allen won American Idol.
Still, that wasn't the most unexpected thing to take place on the stage of the Nokia Theatre last night.
As part of the two-hour finale, Kara DioGuardi sang a duet with former nemesis Katrina Darrell! (Remember her? Darrell earned the nickname "Bikini Girl" during the initial rounds of Idol auditions for donning a swimsuit while she sang for the judges.)
Moreover, at the end of their "Vision of Love" rendition, DioGuardi flashed her own bikini body for the world to see.
We strongly recommend watching the duet, if only for Randy Jackson's priceless reaction when Darrell comes out on stage, clearly enhanced in one area of her body.
Compare Kara and Katrina below and then answer our poll question:
Who has the better bikini body?

First Pictures of Marcia Cross' Twins Revealed
Sorry, Patrick Dempsey.
You're not the only one with cute twin celebrity babies.
Same with you, Kim Porter. It's time to welcome a new member to this exclusive and oh-so-cute club.
In People magazine, Marcia Cross introduces us to her two new bundles of joy - fraternal twins Eden and Savannah, who were born on February 20.
There was a time when nude Marcia Cross pics (possibly in possession of David Hans Schmidt) were the constant focus of her life. But since the twins' birth, the Desperate Housewives star is getting used to a new routine.
"I feed, I burp, I change diapers," she says.
Plus, the new wife of Tom Mahoney is getting to know her girls. She probably has already spent more time with them than Britney Spears has with Jayden James.
"Savannah kicked all the time, and Eden was really quiet," Marcia Cross said. "Now Eden's the feisty one and Savannah's a little more Zen."
While Cross has mastered dividing her attention between both girls รข€" and even simultaneously breastfeeding the two! Wow!
The new mom shares a moment with Eden.
"I wanted to be a member of that club so badly, and now I'm in and it's so much better than I even imagined," Cross, 45, says of motherhood.
"Even before I was 30 I started thinking about (it)."

Whitney Houston Cause of Death: Coroner -- Whitney Was Coked Up At Time of Death | TMZ.com
An official for the L.A. County Coroner's Office just stated ... Whitney Houston used cocaine immediately prior to her death.
Coroner Chief Craig Harvey just held a news conference -- claiming the toxicology results suggested Whitney was a "chronic" cocaine user.
Harvey described the cocaine level in Whitney's system as "acute" -- indicating Whitney used the drug not long before she accidentally drowned in a bathtub at the Beverly Hilton hotel last month. "Accidental drowning" is listed as Whitney's official cause of death.
According to Harvey, the autopsy revealed a 60% narrowing of Whitney's arteries -- a direct result of the chronic cocaine use. Harvey claims the artery constriction led to a cardiac event before her death.
As for the other drugs in her system -- marijuana, Benadryl, Flexeril, and Xanax -- which Harvey claims were all at or below therapeutic levels ... and did not significantly contribute to her death.

Rush to Rush Limbaugh -- STOP USING OUR MUSIC ... or Else! | TMZ.com
The '80s have come back to bite Rush Limbaugh in the ass ... Rush (the band) has followed Peter Gabriel's lead and have demanded Limbaugh stop using their music on his radio show ASAP.
Rush (the band) was FURIOUS when they discovered Rush (radio guy) was playing their song "The Spirit of Radio" as he ranted about wanting to see sex tapes of Sandra Fluke. The band got even more upset when they learned it wasn't the first time Rush (radio) has used their music on his show.
The band has since fired off a cease and desist letter to Rush (radio) ... saying, "The public performance of Rush’s music is not licensed for political purposes and any such use is in breach of public performance licenses and constitutes copyright infringement."
The letter continues, "Accordingly, we hereby demand that you immediately stop all use of Rush’s music and confirm that you will do so."
As for Peter Gabriel ... his song, "Sledgehammer" was playing on Rush's radio show when he called Fluke a "slut" ... and, shocker, Peter's pissed too.
Gabriel's rep said the singer has demanded that his music also be pulled from Limbaugh's show.
