Rihanna wants Chris Brown's court order downgraded. The "Umbrella" singer doesn't feel it is necessary for the "Run It" singer - who pleaded guilty of assaulting her in February - to have to keep 50 yards away from her at all times.

Instead, she feels a level-one protective restraining order would be sufficient.

Rihanna has been flirting with a model. The "Umbrella" singer was partying in the Hamptons - an exclusive New York seaside resort - with friends last weekend when she spotted the handsome stranger working as a doorman at the AXE Lounge.

When Rihanna left the club, she was seen laughing and joking with the mystery hunk before asking for his phone number.

Rihanna and Chris Brown have fuelled reunion rumours after dining across the street from each other.

The couple - who were banned from meeting by a court order after Chris pleaded guilty to assaulting her last month - ate on opposite sides of New York's famous Broadway, in the city's theatre district, on Tuesday (7/28/09).

Rihanna and her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown have sparked rumors they have rekindled their romance. The pair - who are barred from contacting each other after Chris pleaded guilty to felony assault last month following his altercation with Rihanna last February - both reportedly stayed at Manhattan's Trump International Hotel and Tower over the weekend.

The New York Post newspaper reports: "The two spent the weekend at the same luxury Midtown hotel under a cloak of secrecy."
