RIHANNA AND BROWN WALK ALONE

RIHANNA and CHRIS BROWN used the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards to end rumours they are dating - by walking up the event's orange carpet separately. R+B star Brown - who scooped the favourite male singer prize at the Los Angeles ceremony on Saturday (29Mar08) - kept his distance from the Umbrella beauty as they waved to fans outside the Pauley Pavilion. The pair has been at the centre of speculation since they were photographed frolicking in a Jamaican swimming pool together last month (Feb08). They further fuelled rumours earlier this month (Mar08) after they were photographed leaving a London hotel together. However, Brown is sick of the claims, and told reporters on Saturday, "We're not in a relationship or anything," before making his way inside the slime-filled ceremony.
