He’s no stranger to a high-profile evening out, and last night Brody Jenner was spotted hitting up Hollywood hotspot Bar Delux.

The “Bromance” hunk was joined by a few friends as he arrived at the club, looking cool and casual in a black baseball cap, black shirt, distressed jeans, and black Converse All-Stars.

Also in the house was R&B singer Rihanna, who just may be showing some interest in Mr. Jenner after a telltale dinner out earlier this week.

On Wednesday night (March 25), Brody was reportedly the object of Rihanna’s affection as they were both spotted eating separately at Nobu restaurant.

According to an eyewitness, the “Take a Bow” songstress was “smiling and flirting” with a group of guys that included Jenner – although other insiders are reporting that it’s actually Brody’s pal, Frankie Delgado, who caught the Barbadian beauty’s eye.

You might think Rihanna would be the last person to glamorize violence after Chris Brown pounded her into oblivion and threatened to kill her last month.

But apparently, you’d be wrong.

For whatever reason, the 21-year-old star decided to have a small handgun tattooed on her body this week. The weapon has been etched across her ribcage.

Rihanna visited the appropriately named tattoo artist BangBang in L.A., and he initially drew a pair of guns on her guns – as in the sides of the tops of her arms.

The “Umbrella” singer decided against having a new tattoo inked on in such a prominent position, however, due to her contract with makeup brand Cover Girl.

BangBang wrote: “I really wanted to put it here [on her arms] … She loved ’em. But, Cover Girl wouldn’t have liked it much, and they pay the bills!”

Rihanna has been keeping a low profile in recent times following her “alleged” assault at the hands of boyfriend Chris Brown, who went off on her during a heated argument in his sports car the day before the Grammy Awards.

The couple, who reconciled after the incident despite the domestic battery and criminal charges Brown faces, are said to be taking a break. Still no word on who sent the infamous booty call text that sparked the argument, Tina Davis or Natasha Ellie.

Brown is expected to be back in court for his arraignment April 6.

While Oprah Winfrey, Tyra Banks, and other talk-show hosts have discussed what Rihanna should do after the assault she allegedly suffered at the hands of boyfriend Chris Brown, Rihanna’s mentor, producer Evan Rogers, believes all the televised attention could make matters worse.

“I think that everyone has good intentions and means well, but it turns up the heat in terms of it seeming like the whole world is telling her what to do,” Rogers told Entertainment Weekly. “At the end of the day, people forget that, at 21, your perspective is very different. These kinds of things can happen to anyone, whether you’re a celebrity or not.”

Still, the man who discovered the Barbadian singer knows she listens to all the unsolicited advice, even if she chooses not to take it.

The Hollywood Gossip staff members do not fashion themselves celebrity fashion and makeup experts. Our business is celebrity gossip, not mascara.

However, we suspect that, just maybe, “Light up Your Eyes” may not have been the best tagline for a new Cover Girl ad starring pop star Rihanna.

Rihanna was, of course, beaten up so hard by Chris Brown that her eyes were partially swollen shut. We’re just saying. Oh, “allegedly” beaten, sorry.

While we await word on whether Rihanna will testify against Chris Brown, at least we know where we can go for makeup to disguise deep facial bruising.

Sources connected with Chris Brown and Rihanna tell TMZ Brown’s lawyer, Mark Geragos, wants the judge to give Rihanna a pass from testifying because of leaks in the case.

We’re told Geragos and Rihanna’s lawyer, Donald Etra, believe Rihanna was compromised when her name surfaced as the alleged victim in the beating. They claim this and other leaks violate her privacy rights and therefore she should not have to further put herself out to the public by testifying against Brown in the case.

It’s further proof Rihanna and Brown are back together and in lockstep.

Geragos asked to meet with the judge in chambers, along with the prosecutors, on March 23 to discuss letting Rihanna off the hook. Brown’s arraignment is set for April 6.

It has been one of the most disturbing stories in the celebrity world as of late, and in the latest update of the  Rihanna/Chris Brown ordeal, it seems the “Take a Bow” songstress hasn’t lost any love for her alleged abuser.

In a recent tabloid report, a friend of Rihanna revealed that she’s still staying in touch with Brown, and in the process she’s making her loved ones increasingly worried.
The pal said, “She keeps saying she wants to make sure that he’s okay.  She thinks this will all just blow over and they can go back to how they were.”

Adding fuel to the fire, there are also emerging reports that Chris was getting ready to cheat on Rihanna, and had plenty of inappropriate behavior with other women.
