(Almost but not quite&#151;after all, how can you miss those towers cutting off your access to the sun?)

According to<a href="http://www.popeater.com/music/article/rihanna-and-chris-brown-weekend-hotel/589247"> PopEater</a> (and the whole celeb gossip circuit, really), Chris is supposedly not allowed to see Rihanna (hello, restraining order) &#151; but the two of them were both staying at the <b><A href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Trump+International+Hotel/ian/123947">Trump International Hotel & Tower</a></b> in Manhattan this Jenna 2009-07-27T09:57:04-05:00 40.7691260 -73.981542 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/2/17/131023/592 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6929/jobro6.jpg" class="top"> <p>Well, it's dark times for <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Donald%20Trump">the Trumpster</a>.
