Chris Brown and Rihanna Together on Christmas: Controversial Couple Hit up Lakers Game in L.A., Karrueche Tran Out? [PHOTOS]

The on-and-off again couple Rihanna and Chris Brown were spotted at a Los Angeles Lakers vs. New York Knicks NBA game in L.A. on Christmas day (December 25). While the "Diamonds" songstress recently sent out sexy (and solo) Instagram pics from her Barbados getaway, it looks like RiRi jetted back home to be with "her man" for the X-mas holiday. And while some rumors had it Brown actually got back together with his ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran, the two controversial R&B love-birds seemed to be having a great time cuddling up courtside. So what do Mstarz fans think about that?

According to TMZ, the duo arrived at L.A.’s Staples Arena in the same car and shared courtside seats during the basketball game. Despite all the rumors and the love-triangle relationship drama, do fans think Brown and RiRi are officially back on (meaning Tran is totally out of the picture)? Wonder if the couple still plans on celebrating the New Year on the beautiful beaches of Barbados...

Most recent reports suggest that Brown finally confessed his undying love for the Barbadian songstress, ultimately dumping Tran for good.

And it looks like RiRi has confirmed the good news (if fans want to consider it that) on Twitter, recently tweeting:

@rihanna: "ThugLife #merryChristmas."

Rihanna sent out a number of rather cryptic tweets after finding out that Brown was spotted partying with Tran in Paris earlier this month, including a hand-written message that read: "Never underestimate a man's ability to make you feel guilty for his mistakes... There's no question that life throws us curve balls, we do our best to deal with them, take the lessons and keep it moving without regrets...". But by the looks of it, the controversial couple has indeed officially made-up (again)... RiRi recently posted this pic of the two holding hands:

It looks like Tran tried to retaliate with a sexy Twitpic of her own along with the message:

@karrueche: "Merry Christmas baby."

But apparently Brown has made up his mind... rumors have it that the "Don't Wake Me Up" crooner (and his mom!) will join Rihanna and her fam back in Barbados to ring in 2013.

Do fans think he made the right choice?
