No matter how big his career gets, Chris Brown seems to genuinely enjoy coming home.
Late afternoon July 19, the Tappahannock triple threat and Rihanna, his never-acknowledged girlfriend who is, nonetheless, attached to him as frequently as that red backward-adjusted baseball cap, arrived at Kings Dominion for some summer fun.

Even with a phalanx of security ushering them around the park, fans were predictably frenzied (here is some dizzying video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLVc750FrDM&feature=related).
But that didn’t prevent Chris and Ri-Ri from riding the Rebel Yell and Anaconda roller coasters, as well as White Water Canyon, The Grizzly, Flight of Fear and Volcano.
The lovely Rihanna was frequently photographed holding a cup of lemonade (http://popsugar.com/1804151), but sources at the theme park gave us another food tidbit: Chris ate funnel cake with strawberry fruit topping! C’mon, girls, isn’t that worth a squeal?
Chris is laying low and hanging around his neighborhood (in Montpelier), but he’s still making news—not to mention popping up to play basketball in unlikely places (http://www.inrich.com/cva/ric/search.apx.-content-articles-RTD-2008-07-28-0172.html).
He’s part of a new campaign for Wrigley’s chewing gum and has written a new jingle for Doublemint gum (sharp listeners may have picked up on the “double your pleasure, double your fun” tease in the chorus of his current hit, “Forever”).
Keep an ear out for the jingle starting next month, and don’t forget in a couple of weeks to set the TiVo for the Sept. 9 Fashion Rocks concert, airing on CBS. The show, coming from Radio City Music Hall, will feature Chris, along with Beyonce, Black Eyed Peas, Rihanna and Justin Timberlake.
