It has been confirmed that alleged battering beau Chris Brown and his main squeeze Rihanna have recorded a duet.

According to CNN, the song was recorded just days Brown, 19, stood with his pouty face in court while hugely expensive defense attorneys worked the legal system.

Brown was charged with two felonies over his alleged February 8 altercation with girlfriend Rihanna, 21.

The alleged altercation included choking, biting, punching and pinching Rihanna who bled all over Brown's rented Lamborghini.  TMZ was there first with the blood evidence pictures.

Recently, Octomom Nadya Suleman was given the keys to her new $500,000+ home, paid for by donations and the largess of smallscreen alleged ambulance chaser, Dr. Phil.  He was helped by attorney Gloria Allred, who hooked up an "Angels" charity to take care of the eight, underweight neonatal babies round-the-clock.

The charity went on television last night pleading for donations so that they can perform this act of mercy for perpetual "taker" Suleman, an unmarried mother of fourteen who has been on some sort of combined public assistance for years.

Angels in Waiting is a charity that specializes in providing care for medically fragile foster children.

The group grossed just $5,000 last year, and representatives said at a press conference Wednesday that they were hoping appearances on Dr. Phil and online links that allow for donations will bring in enough to care for the babies.

"We've said from Day One we cannot do this without donations from the public," attorney Gloria Allred said on behalf of the charity. "We started seeking donations yesterday."

So, what does Octomom and Chris Brown and Rihanna have in common?

You.

You are watching Dr. Phil, sending in money to her website and buying those Chris Brown and Rihanna CDs.  You are buying those tabloids, working hard and paying your taxes and financing all these "behaviors." 

For Brown and Rihanna, the story evokes a different kind of outrage, more surreal because they have so much money and the outcome is obvious; this story has  been told ad nauseum. People are wagering on when he WILL do it again. 

Do you remember Ike and Tina?  Oprah is right.  No good will come of the two of them sticking it out; even Rihanna's dad is telling the Barbados local news he is disappointed over it all.   The two have reduced themselves to being sight gags now.

Their issues have also afforded every alleged egomaniac like P. Diddy, along with an assortment of nitwits, nunces and nincompoops a platform to espouse their theories and offer imbecilic platitudes of support.

Obsessively fertile Suleman draws a black-white spectrum of both disgust and pity. People either feel for her or are embittered she has figured out how to live and prosper on the dole.  She is allegedly putting her reality show together for the smallscreen.  A nauseatingly huge amount of paparazzi were on hand for that in La Habra, now forever cursed as Octomomville.  Suleman performed take after take of her bounding into her new home for cameras, all smiles.

Earlier on her taped episode of Dr. Phil, she told McGraw that she wasn’t “thinking rationally” when she decided to undergo multiple fertility treatments again after six children.

“At the time, I was justifying my actions based on saying ‘Well, these are my children, they are extremely valuable - their lives,’ which is true, but I was not placing that above my others,” Suleman responded to Dr. Phil McGraw after he asked her - why?
