Chris Brown and Rihanna to Reunite on ABC?
Just three days after Chris Brown's notorious window-smashing blowup at ABC's 'Good Morning America,' the network reportedly wants to book him for a sit-down interview together with ex-girlfriend Rihanna.
In a surprising twist of events, a source close to ABC News told E! the network wants to "milk this event for everything it's worth," adding, "It's all about the ratings...at all other costs."
On Tuesday, Brown had a violent outburstfollowing an interview with GMA's Robin Roberts, because she asked him a question about his2009 assault on Rihanna. The singer kept his composure during the interview, then "terrified" employees backstage as he broke a window in his dressing room, tore off his shirt and stormed out of the studio without performing his second scheduled song for the live broadcast.
Now, the network may be capitalizing on the headlines, working on getting Chris Brown to appear with the girlfriend he beat up the night before the 2009 Grammys. Perhaps ABC hopes they can pull it off now that Rihanna's restraining order against Brown was just lifted.

Another unofficial rumor is that ABC may offer Brown a reality series, however that scenario was slammed by the E! source, who said, "No, that would never happen here."
The source added, "What's far more likely is orchestrating Chris Brown talking to Rihanna for the first time."
And even though Diane Sawyer famously got Rihanna to open up about the physical abuse she suffered at Brown's hands, E! says its ABC source denies that Sawyer would get involved this time: "She would never do it....it would be Robin [Roberts]."
The network decided not to press charges against Brown this week, and he's still scheduled to appear on next week's 'Dancing with the Stars.'
Everything seems to be working out for Brown so far, with the exception of his representation: The singer's publicist quit after her client's 'Good Morning America' tantrum.
