Could Rihanna have actually taken Chris Brown back? (AP Images)

Chris Brown beat her ass in front of the entire world and just three weeks later, the swelling has gone down and Rihanna is ready for round two.

People has just broken the most mind-blowing, "Ike and Tina Turner" news of the day: Chris Brown and Rihanna are back together.

If you haven't heard because you've either been living in a cave or under a rock, Brown was booked by LAPD for making criminal threats after beating the crap out of his girlfriend, Rihanna. The case has not yet been presented to the District Attorney, who will ultimately determine which charges will be prosecuted.

Brown's attack left Rihanna with multiple contusions, bite marks as well as serious swelling and bruising. Her lip was split and she also suffered a bloody nose. At one point during the assault, Brown had told Rihanna, "I'm going to kill you," while his hands were around her neck.

However, now the couple have apparently reconciled and are hiding out at one of Sean "Diddy" Combs's homes, on Miami Beach's Star Island.

"They're together again. They care for each other," a source told People.
