Rihanna and Chris Brown's Trump NYC Stay is Way Shady

So, as we are all well aware by now, the Rihanna/Chris Brown relationship was a little bit tumultuous. And there was that whole February assault scandal, which Brown has since publicly apologized for — and we're not going to offer our opinion on that whole mess because, really, it's not our business.

But this gossip is more our thing: this weekend, the should-be-estranged couple was allegedly spotted coming and going from the same Manhattan hotel. According to PopEater (and the whole celeb gossip circuit, really), Chris is supposedly not allowed to see Rihanna (hello, restraining order) — but the two of them were both staying at the Trump International Hotel & Tower in Manhattan this past Friday. Smells like scandal.

And we say it smells like scandal because, like, really: of all the hotels in NYC, The Trump, you guys? The odds that both of you would pick that place over like, the Ritz-Carlton Central Park or something — kind of shady. The Trump, really?

Reviews at the Trump are so-so, with its biggest perks being the location and its crew of obviously-well-trained-to-deal-with-paps staffers.

Chris Brown Is Not The SLS Hotel's Ideal Celebrity Guest

When we toured the SLS Hotel a few months ago, we thought that hands-down this would become the hotel for celebrities to be seen and in fact, much of the hotel's suites and conference rooms were created with press junkets and celebrity events in mind. Yet having Chris Brown dine there last night probably wasn't in the hotel's celebrity outreach program.

Rihanna's boyfriend and abuser regrouped from his day in court (where he was charged with two felonies) by having dinner at the SLS Hotel on La Cienega.

TMZ, ever alert for celebrity abusive boyfriends, caught Brown leaving the hotel at 3:45am. Brown reportedly spent most of the evening at the hotel bar with bodyguards. Despite the hour, sources said Brown was not boozing it up.

Sources close to the situation tell TMZ Chris was strictly there for a dinner business meeting with a man who works in the music industry.

We've also learned from multiple sources that Chris was neither served nor seen consuming an alcoholic beverage at any point in the evening.

Actually, we could care less if Brown was boozing. His career is over no matter what. No amount of alcohol abstinence can take back what he did to his girlfriend. And speaking of Rihanna, her relationship with Brown is sadly not over. The two were also reported to be hanging out at the Four Seasons Beverly Wilshire. Sigh.
