Pictures of Chris Brown flexing his biceps and playing in the waves off Miami on a jet ski wouldn’t normally raise eyebrows. But coming amid reports of Brown and girlfriend Rihanna’s reunion following an alleged domestic incident three weeks ago, the images struck some as a bit odd.

He’s a young man, and he has to go on with his life.”

LouisvilleKentucky’s Churchilll Downs is already known for big horses, big bets and even bigger hats. Now, thanks to American Idol, it will also be known for a few big voices.
