CHRIS BROWN'S DAD Don't Want His Son DATING RIHANNA

Chris Brown's father has the same feelings as most of America does when it comes to his son dating Rihanna-- they should have NEVER gotten back together. In an interview with the New York Daily News, Clinton Brown said that while he understand CB's attraction to RiRi, they are better off on their own. He told the paper, "I personally really didn’t want him and Rihanna back together."

The elder Brown, who split from CB's mom when he was 6, thinks the on-again/off-again couple does not have the proper balance to maintain a good relationship, explaining, "You have to have someone who is spontaneous and whimsical but you also have to have someone who is grounded and logical."

Clearly neither Chris nor Rihanna would be described as "grounded" or "logical."

PHOTOS: Rihanna 4/20 in Bikinis, Blunts & Makin' it RAIN

Sounds like Rihanna had a fun time on 4/20, she went ALL OUT with weed, cake, bikinis and strippers.

Rihanna has never been shy about her love of marijuana (nor has BF Chris Brown), so it's no surprise that on April 20, she flew her cannabis flag proudly.

"Thank you for lighting up my day, no pun intended," she tweeted, thanking her fans for sending her a pot leaf cake (below). "#420 it's a celebration bitches!!!"

More Rihanna photos after the jump ...

The singer hit up a local strip club in Florida (where she had her most recent concert) and Instagrammed pics of her showering the dancers with dollar bills.

Sometimes, a girl's gotta make it rain.

From there, it was time for recovery and a few Rihanna bikini pictures, as the singer lounged by the pool and played with a small child. Naturally.

Is Rihanna Pregnant? Singer Sparks Rumors With Canceled Shows and Doctor Visits!

Is Rihanna pregnant? In all likelihood not, but speculation continues to run rampant due to a rash of recent concert cancelations and medical issues.

The singer came out of a medical building in Beverly Hills and said she's doing a lot better, but it's done nothing to stop the persistent pregnancy talk.

Rihanna has already nixed four concert dates on her Diamonds World Tour, which kicked off on March 8, citing medical issues ... makes you wonder.

Sources connected to the music superstar said in early March that she was suffering from laryngitis, but it's been more than a month since then.

Clearly, there are still issues, and the info coming from Rihanna's camp is so sketchy, it's easy to see how tabloids have run wild with pregnancy rumors.

RIHANNA BURNING UP After Chris Brown Split

Rihanna's gone up in smoke after calling it quits with Chris Brown ... ripping a fat blunt inside a Hollywood nightclub.

Sources inside Greystone Manor nightclub tell us, Rihanna arrived around 1am with her assistant and security guard ... and pretty much kept to herself. She left an hour or so later.

Chris Brown and Rihanna Break Up, E-News Claims

Chris Brown and Rihanna are over, and according to reports, it's not an April Fools prank this time. An E! News source confirmed the duo's split.

The breakup wasn't caused by any cheating, but a "tireless frenzy of are-they-or-aren't-they tail-chasing" wore on them, as did demanding schedules.  

Per insiders, Rihanna will always love Chris Brown but has moved on from him and is "re-shifting her focus to her career and business ventures."

That's about as vague as you can get, but such is life.

Chris hinted recently that her international tour was tough on him (even if cheating on him with a girl would be okay), while he's been flirting up a storm himself.

There is reportedly no other man in the Barbadian beauty's life, or the R&B star's, though he was seen the other night with a mysterious blonde in NYC.

In any case, the timing of the split comes as a surprise if nothing else, since they got back together so publicly and have been so open with their love of late.

What do you think about their breakup? Surprised? Sad? Happy?

Think Rihanna and Chris Brown will reconcile?

How long before he hooks up with Karrueche Tran?

Chris Brown: Rihanna Can Cheat on Me ...

Chris Brown says he'd be sort of cool with it if Rihanna cheated on him, under one condition: The person she cheated with was a woman.

Other dudes need not apply to tap that.

Despite the worst case scenario, Chris Brown is realistic, but optimistic:

"But you can't be the jealous boyfriend, I can't be calling her constantly asking what she's doing so I just gotta put that trust out there and hope nothing happens." He Said.

Chris Brown Paints ... For Charity!

His personal life often overshadows his career accomplishments and side pursuits, but Chris Brown is an talented artist in more ways than one.

In addition to being a Grammy-winning R&B star, he's also a clothing designer who dabbles in painting and has even held a number of art shows.

On the latter front, Breezy joined forces with famous graffiti artist Slick (real name Richard Wyrgatsch II) on Friday, tagging up a wall for a good cause:

Chris Brown helped raise funds for the Best Buddies International foundation. The star tweeted, "Painting today with 'Slick'. An Amazing artist."

"Gonna be a big collaboration for charity. Do what u love!"

Slick also tweeted back, "@chrisbrown charity is a beautiful thang...... Lets do this," and posted a photo with the singer "in the lab" on his Instagram.

And that wasn't even the end of Brown's artsy weekend.

Chris continued expressing his creativity by painting a huge St. Patrick's Day-inspired mural yesterday, and sharing a photo of the finished product on Twitter.

Check out the singer's Irish-themed effort out right here:

In January, Brown posted a painting of Jesus on the cross, flanked by two prisoners who were crucified with Christ ... and likening himself to Jesus.

"Painting the way I feel today. Focus on what matters!" he said, in the wake of the Frank Ocean parking lot melee that caused quite an uproar.

He did not compare himself to the fella above in this case.
