Rihanna has magic dreams

The word is that Chris Brown is trying to make peace with Rihanna before their court date, but the lady’s now concerned with a whole different court.

Last Thursday, both attended the NBA finals in Orlando, to watch the Orland Magics take on LA’s once-mighty Lakers, and Chris couldn’t keep his mind — or his eyes — on the game. At half-time, they adjourned from their seats close together, and while Rihanna schmoozed the Owners in their private space, Chris hung out with Tiger Woods and Hulk Hogan in the famous Blue Lounge.

But once third quarter was due it was clearly ‘game on.’ Chris returned to his seat, and even shook hands with Rihanna’s friends on the way, “He was definitely trying to make it less awkward,” a source told the News. “He was trying to be very grownup, and wanted Rihanna to see that.”

Rihanna, meanwhile, had other things on her mind.

The 22-year old Barbados native is said to be stuck on Magics’ star, Rashard Lewis, and was keen to get noticed so they could hook up. “She’s digging on him, and she hopes the feeling is mutual.” says our friend.

Some less well-informed scribes have said RiRi’s true love is actually Lakers center, Andrew Bynum. But that, so we’re told is not even close, “They’re just friends, and they have been for a while.” says the insider. It’s Rashard she wants – She thinks he’s hotter than hot!”

On this point, the lady was strangely tight-lipped – After a long game that saw her beloved Rashard score only six points in an end-to-end rout his guys lost by 8-points, she ducked past the paparazzi and left right away.
