CHRIS, RIHANNA REUNITED

It looks like Chris Brown and Rihanna are back together -- only three weeks after their alleged brawl.

According to People, the couple spent the weekend at P-Diddy's Miami mansion and are trying to salvage their relationship. A source says, "They're together again. They care for each other."



IS JOAQUIN CRAZY?

A Chicago psychiatrist thinks he knows why Joaquin Phoenix has been acting so weird lately -- he's nuts.

Shrink Paul Dobransky tells the Los Angeles Times that the retired actor has been displaying "socially inappropriate behavior" and that "there is something wrong. And it's beyond drug abuse."

Joaquin's rep says that's nonsense. "How absolutely inappropriate for a doctor who has no personal interaction or relationship with someone to diagnose them. And to do so in a public forum."

But Dobranksy did defend Joaquin when it came to Ben Stiller's Oscars parody. "I was pretty offended by that skit at the Oscars. It struck me as potentially beating down on the mentally ill.

That never stopped anyone from poking fun at Michael Jackson.



FREE CLOTHES FOR OCTO-MOM'S KIDS

Octo-Mom is getting another hand-out.

Nadya Suleman, who is unemployed and receives food stamps, has been offered free clothes by the same designer that has outfitted Angelina Jolie's kids.

CustomKingdom says, "We understand the financial strain one child can put on a family, let alone 14 little ones, so we would like to do our part and donate clothing from our line." The company says it will "provide at least 500 dollars in clothing each month, for one year."

Didn't Nadya's problems all start with a donation?



LINDSAY WANTS TO BE ONE OF THE CHOSEN PEOPLE

Oy vey, Lindsay Lohan is converting to Judaism.

And The Daily Mirror has the proof -- the paper reports that LiLo and her Jewish girlfriend Samantha Ronson visited a London synagogue Friday. Then she returned to the synagogue the next day as Sam's date for the bar mitzvah of her half-brother Joshua Ronson. When an onlooker asked Lindsay if she was converting, she said, "I'm trying."

And if you need more proof -- LiLo has updated her Facebook profile to say, "I'm converting." That's as official as you can get nowadays.



BRUCE SAYS TAKE THIS JOB AND...

Maybe Bruce Willis hasn't heard that jobs are scarce these days.

He's being sued for four-million bucks after walking out on a directing gig that was supposed to pay him almost 200-grand.

Foresight Unlimited says Bruce signed a deal to direct the indie movie Three Stories About Joan, starring Owen Wilson, but he "abruptly and without notice terminated his services as director for personal reasons and walked off the set."

One of Bruce's lawyers tells T-M-Z the suit is "absurd" and that the movie shut down because the producers ran out of money.



McMAHON IS IN I.C.U.

Ed McMahon is in intensive care with pneumonia.

He's been in a Los Angeles-area hospital for almost a month being treated for a respiratory infection, bone cancer and other medical problems.

One person close to McMahon, 85, tells T-M-Z, "It's not great, to say the least."
