"Rihanna and Chris Brown have reportedly decided to &amp;quot;take a break&amp;quot; in their relationship amid allegations that Brown attacked the singer last month.  R&amp;amp;B star Brown has been charged with assault and making criminal threats in relation to an alleged altercation with Rihanna on February 8.  According to E! News, a source has revealed that the pair are trying to &amp;quot;put some distance&amp;quot; between each other but have dismissed speculation that they are planning a permanent split.  The couple were reported to have rekindled their relationship last month, after enjoying a holiday together in Miami. Earlier this week, it was claimed that Rihanna had decided to resume public appearances following the allegations, and she was later seen enjoying a quiet meal in New York with friends including Jay-Z and Beyonc\u00C3\u00A9 .  The insider added that Brown would be remaining in Los Angeles to work on his forthcoming LP, saying: &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;s just putting ideas down for some songs he wrote. He needs to feel like he&amp;#039;s moving forward.&amp;quot; Representatives for Rihanna and Brown have declined to comment.  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
