CS5 Bridge labels & rejects in Lightroom?

Question

I have been working on a huge amount of pictures on my desktop PC from work, using Adobe Bridge to label them.I now want to process them on my private laptop. Unfortunately, Photoshop CS5 is out of my price range, and I'm currently trying out Lightroom 4. However, when I import the pictures into Lightroom, the keywords and star ratings are visible, but my (color) labels and "rejected" statuses are not visible.Is it possible to import images into Lightroom while retaining all the metadata from Bridge?

Hi, Keep in mind that while Metadata does cross over Lightroom is a Catalog based system. Meaning it does see Metadata but not Program specific info like colors and reject which it does within its own program. Also Lightroom 4 was released back in 2012 and has not received updates like the current version. So some bugs were not addressed. There are some programs out there that have many of the current features of Lightroom like the open source Darktable which is free but will suggest a donation. It is also a Catalog based program like Lightroom and is non destructive.
