Rihanna, Chris Brown Say It Again: They're 'Just Friends'

"I won't say that we're just friends — me and Chris are really best, best friends," Rihanna corrected, smiling. "We both started our careers around the same time. He is one of the only people in the industry ... I trust and hang out with all the time. We are best friends, honestly, like brother and sister. If he was a boyfriend, I would say that."

"They keep asking me, 'What's the deal?' " Brown echoed. "I'm like, 'There's no deal. No deal.' We're just friends."
