The Chrihanna Chronicles: He's Managing His Anger, She's Managing Her Tan

When we last left our favorite celebrity couple, Rihanna was pining away for Chris Brown as she celebrated her 21st birthday. While he'd sent her numerous gifts and had called to wish her a happy birthday, they hadn't seen each other since that fateful fight on February 7th. And now, another installment of The Chrihanna Chronicles...

The New York Daily News is reporting that Chris Brown has started taking anger management classes. While he's not required to go by law, he wanted to get a few classes in before his March 5th court date so he can look good to the judge. According to an inside source, Brown attended his first session on Monday in Glendale, California, thanks to his spin doctor Michael Sitrick.

At this point, Chris has to do everything he can to clean up his image. Even though he allegedly beat the soup out of Rihanna, he's feeling the pain where it hurts the most -- in his wallet. His golden-boy image has been severely tarnished and he's lost several of his endorsement deals. In addition, some radio stations have temporarily taken his songs off the air.

Of course, some say that Mr. Take You Down shouldn't be taking those classes alone since the Good Girl Gone Bad is temperamental, too. The source went on to say, "They're both too hot-headed for their own good." Another insider added, "It didn't help that Rihanna grabbed the keys out of his rented Lamborghini and threw them down the street. She knew it would really infuriate Chris, and it worked."

While there's some speculation that the two might rekindle their romance, for now the only time they're scheduled to be back together is for Brown's March 5th court date. Even though there haven't been any formal charges filed in the case, Rihanna still has to testify. The insider doesn't foresee any jail time for Brown because it's his first offense.

Meanwhile, even though the media (i.e., you and me) have been led to believe that Rihanna was recovering in Barbados following her and Chris Brown's February 7th incident, TMZ.com has obtained photos of the 21-year-old frolicking on the beach in Punta Mita, Mexico. Her first public pictures -- which show her healing up nicely -- were taken on Saturday, the day after she was reportedly in Los Angeles to celebrate her birthday.

Stay tuned for another exciting installment of The Chrihanna Chronicles, coming soon...
