Rihanna and Chris Brown followed each other on Twitter the other day. She went first, he reciprocated. That’s it, really. There’s not a huge amount left to say about it. If anything, I’m now just waffling to fill space. I mean, you can follow anyone on Twitter. I’ve followed people I think are idiots before. I mean, okay, none of them beat me up and left me unconscious in the street. But still, it’s just Twitter.

Anyway, once people started to notice this had happened, half the world went mad. Well, Rihanna’s Twitter followers, anyway. Which I suppose is understandable, fans of both she and Chris Brown have been particularly protective of their respective favourite singer since the violent incident that led to the former couple splitting up.

Rihanna responded to one fan who expressed outrage by saying much the same as I just did, though she put it slightly more bluntly. She wrote: “It’s fuckin Twitter, not the altar! Calm down”. She later followed that comment up with an apology for lashing out, saying: “Babygirl, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt or offend you! Just needed to make it clear to the Navy!”

I have no idea what the Navy’s got to do with all this. I thought she was more closely associated with the Army. Whatever, I’m not sure this is a matter for any branch of the military.
