UPDATE: It’s confirmed, the couple have called it quits. Eonline is confirming that Chris and Rihanna are taking a break.

According to a source close to the couple, they have been “taking a break.”

The source tells E! News that the pair are not calling it a formal breakup, but have decided to put some distance between them. We are told they plan to see each other soon.

We say they are DONE!!!

It’s over!!!! According to mediatakeout.com, Rihanna and Chris Brown are done.  The website is saying that they can EXCLUSIVELY report to you that Rihanna has officially ENDED THINGS with R&B singer Chris Brown.

Here’s what they’re saying:

The insider, who spoke to MediaTakeOut.com on the condition of anonymity, explained that Rihanna gave Chris an ultimatum – end all contact with manager Tina Davis, or lose her. The insider explained, “Rihanna will not take him back, especially if there is still any kind of relationship between him and Tina Davis – personal or professional! But he is not prepared to fire her, and [so he] lost Rihanna.”

As MediaTakeOut.com reported earlier, Tina and Chris have been rumored to be having a sexual relationship for many years. According to the police report, Tina sent Chris a sexual text message – which sparked the assault incident.

And so as of last THURSDAY NIGHT, Rihanna and Chris are officially over. Another insider told MediaTakeOut.com, “[Rihanna] left Los Angeles to clear her head … and get him out of her mind.”

But while Rihanna seems to be moving past the incident, Chris is reportedly falling into a very deep depression. A person close to Chris’ camp explains, “Initially he was confident that he’d get past this, but he’s beginning to lose hope … [Many] people are worried about him … I’ve never seen him like this.”

We’re also hearing that Rihanna is in talks to do a remake of Whitney Houston’s 1992 hit “The Bodyguard.” According to the New York Daily News, the R&B singer made an impromptu trip to the Big Apple over the weekend to have some meetings about impending projects: one of which is a proposed remake of 1992’s Whitney Houston/Kevin Costner flick, “The Bodyguard.” Rihanna would be taking on Whitney’s role in the updated version, which an insider says would be a “young and sexy take” on the favorite film. “GI Joe” hottie Channing Tatum’s name has been bandied about to take on Costner’s role.

We hope this starts a new chapter in Rihanna’s life.
