Celebrity Gossip from Hollywood World News

Chris Brown may have apologized a couple of weeks back for beating the crap out of Rihanna, but his anger has just gotten the best of him again. Earlier this week, Chris was hanging out at Lucky Strike Lanes bowling alley with some friends. Chris and company were down for some hard partying and all was going well, until it was time to go. A source said, “Lucky Strikes is pretty chill on Monday nights, but Chris was ready to party, and that’s what he did.” A snitch on the scene said, “He definitely looked like he was being force to leave, like his friends knew it was in his best interest. He was acting kind of crazy, partying too much, and making moves on a really young looking girl.” I guess he hasn’t really learned a lesson, has he? Someone needs a refresher course in anger management. But there’s no cure for being a douche, huh?

Chris Brown made his long awaited debut in court today for his assault case. Rihanna, his girlfriend who he repeatedly punched in the face, also showed up at the courthouse but, understandably, never made it to the courtroom. Chris plea bargained. Instead of jail time, Brown will have to spend 6 months picking up trash on the road or cleaning graffiti and he’s been ordered to stay 50 yards from Rihanna. In addition, he’ll receive 5 years supervised probation for felony assault which he pled guilty to. Under the deal, he’ll have to return to court every three months. Chris must also go to a domestic violence counseling program. Any violation of probation may result in up to 4 years in prison. Is this justice? I was inclined to say no, but Chris Brown started slamming his fist into his palm which convinced me otherwise.

The case of Chris Brown and Rihanna is moving along;.The latest word is that Lawyers are close to agreeing a plea deal for the brutal attack that occurred on February 8th.

The two sides are due to meet in a courtroom tomorrow, and Chris is facing two felony counts; One of ‘Assault likely to cause great bodily injury’ and another of ‘Making criminal threats.’…So you can see why he’s so keen on a deal.

The main purpose of this new court session is to set a date on which Chris must face a preliminary hearing. But he signed a court waiver, so he’s not expected to be there himself. Well-placed sources have told Radar the plea-deal between the Los Angeles DA’s office and Brown’s attorney, Mark Geragos, is ‘close but not imminent,’ so Chris could be in a lot more trouble before this is all done.

If a deal is not reached in time the case must then go before a Judge. Were that to happen, Chris’s prospects are bleak - the evidence against him is shocking! One crime-scene photo the Judge would review shows Rihanna with her face badly beaten, while another shows Chris’s car freshly sprayed with her blood.

The DA and Geragos are still said to be talking. However this goes, we’ll keep you advised.

It looks as if Chris Brown is moving on from Rihanna… Brown is said to be dating University of Mary Washington student Erica Brown. Read more on Chris’ new love below. Singer Chris Brown has reportedly started dating again since his troubled relationship with pop singer Rihanna ended last month. And Brown’s new love is actually a former girlfriend. Sources said: “[Chris and Erica] met in Virginia, where he’s from,” a source close to the singer says. “They dated back in the day and reconnected a few weeks ago when Chris was in town. They’ve been spending a lot of time together, but things only really heated up over the last two weeks.” While she is not as pretty as Rihanna, friends think Erica is good for Chris saying, “[Erica] has a good head on her shoulders; she’s solid,” says our insider. Chris and his new gal pal were spotted leaving a Sunset Blvd. tattoo parlor on Saturday afternoon. “She’s more of a plain Jane — cute though,” says our source. At the very least, she’s helping to ease Chris’ pain over Rihanna. He was mad in love with that girl.” Friends say Rihanna is not going to be happy hearing Chris has moved on…“She is going to be pissed!” says a pal of the pop starlet. “Ri is going to be so hurt that Chris has moved on so quickly and is parading this new girl around town.” Brown is currently facing charges of felony assault and making criminal threats on April 6, to which he pleaded not guilty. We will definitely post a photo of Erica Jackson as soon as it is released! What do you guys think of Chris moving on so quickly? Click Thumbnails for Larger Pictures

Chris Brown has pleaded not guilty to threatening and assaulting his girlfriend, singer Rihanna. Read more about Chris Brown’s court appearance today below. Chris Brown, 19, appeared in a Los Angeles courtroom Monday with his attorney, Mark Geragos. Brown entered his plea in a soft voice while his mother sat in the first row, teary-eyed. Chris Brown was charged in March by Los Angeles County prosecutors with felony assault likely to cause great bodily injury and making criminal threats. Brown was arrested nearly a month earlier after his altercation with Rihanna. Court records list Brown’s victim as Robyn Fenty (Rihanna’s real name). Rihanna, 21, is being represented by attorney Donald Etra. If Chris Brown is convicted he could be sentenced to probation or nearly five years in prison. Chris Brown has experienced the backlash after the incident. Sponsors have stopped using Brown, a few radio stations have stopped playing his music with some even playing an anti-Chris Brown song created by the Smoke Jumpers. Do you guys expect Chris Brown will be convicted?

Yesterday the news came out that Chris Brown and Rihanna were working on a duet together. We were hoping it wasn’t true, as it just made their cringe inducing reunion all the more real and potentially more public if the song is ever released. It is true, according to TMZ, and Rihanna and her abuser made the decision to record the duet from a song originally intended for her alone. A producer named Polow Da Don is said to have come up with the brilliant idea and to have talked them into it.

The whole thing came together when they decided to reconcile shortly after the attack. Sources tell us music producer Polow Da Don convinced both Chris and Rihanna to get in the studio and record a love song stat, stressing that timing was important because the heightened emotions would translate powerfully into the music. Both Rihanna and Chris agreed and snuck in a couple of “late night” sessions that we’re told were “very, very emotional … the feeling in the room was pure love.” Clearly, love hurts. As for how they got along, they were “playfully touching each other.” We’re told the song was originally written for Rihanna before the fight, but after the beat down the producer believed the track — which ironically focuses on overcoming difficult challenges as a couple — would be the perfect duet.

[From TMZ] What kind of message are Brown and Rihanna sending young fans by not only getting back together, but recording a song that will probably emphasize how you can triumph over adversity as a couple? Young women need to be told that you leave abusers immediately and press charges, not that you can “work it out” after he hits you. I want to think that major record companies will realize that this song is too controversial to release, but it’s not like the decision-makers will suddenly grow scruples. It’s about money, and if a duet emphasizing reconciliation after he beats the shit out of you is popular, that’s all that matters. Maybe some radio stations will boycott it at least. Meanwhile Diddy was on Ellen to explain why he let Chris Brown and Rihanna stay at this Miami home after the beating incident. Contrary to prior reports, he didn’t say that Brown tricked him by initially asking to stay there alone. He defended himself by saying “I’m not going to pass judgment on it. I’m going to be there as a friend.” Diddy did say that “I don’t think it’s right for anybody to hit anybody.” Nickelodeon has refused to remove Chris Brown as a nominee for the Kids Choice Awards, which air March 28. He is not thought to be planning to attend, though. That’s a shame, because they could have slimed him with something foul smelling that would never wash out. Maybe then his few remaining sponsors and fans would wise up and avoid him like the plague. Photo credit: WENN

Chris Brown showed up for his arraignment today amid a media circus. To everyone’s chagrin, it was over quicker than it had begun as his lawyers promptly postponed the hearing until April 6. Exciting, huh? In related news, Rihanna’s father, Fenty, says ever since Rihanna and Chris Brown reunited, he and Rihanna’s other relatives have been unable to contact her. Rihanna’s brother said she changed her email and Fenty alleges that “somebody has a stranglehold on her.”

US: I know you’ve been speaking with your daughter over text. Is she no longer reachable? RF: I’ll text the old numbers she had, and I call them. One girl answered, and she said, “This is not Robyn’s number anymore.” I asked, “Do you work for Robyn? Do you deal with Robyn?” And the girl hung up, so I don’t know what’s going on anymore. I’m lost. Us: What was her last text to you? RF: [She] said, “Daddy, I miss you.” And that’s it. And I could not reply. I saw a number and texted back, “I miss you too.” And I didn’t get another reply from her.

So not only has Rihanna been seen only one time since that night, but now no one can contact her. She could be laying unconscious in a ditch or shackled in a makeshift dungeon. Nobody knows because apparently, Rihanna’s turned into some kind of mountain man and has secluded herself in a cave like Osama bin Laden. But fear not, Chris Brown or one of his people updated his MySpace page. Maybe they’ll let us know what’s up with Rihanna. So, what’s the deal Chris Brown or person working for Chris Brown?

Hmm, well, that’s not exactly the update people were hoping for, but whatever. We should probably do what his MySpace page says until we find Rihanna. It might be a thinly veiled threat and, frankly, after seeing that Rihanna picture, I don’t want him to tell me twice. [Image via Splash News]

Since the alleged attack on February 8th, both Rihanna and Chris Brown have been a frequent feature of celebrity sites all over the world, and the story just doesn’t get old. Every day brings new details and claims from both sides that the other was liable in this sordid event. Mr. Brown has since hired crisis management people and attempted to ’spin’ the story to reduce or even remove his own culpability. But even experts have limits on how much spin can be applied to a story that’s out of control. Facing such impending failure, Mr. Brown’s next management choice was to alert the paparazzi about a supposedly ’secret’ meeting with Rihanna amidst the immaculately manicured and gated seclusion of Miami’s exclusive Star Island. The reporters converged in drool-speckled glee, but both the encounter and the tearful front-page reunion he clearly desired as its career-saving payoff were a boundless and flagrant debacle. The more certain outcome of this, and their less civil encounters is that Mr. Brown now faces charges of felony domestic battery, which could be filed as soon as today. These are serious charges, but a series of explicit pictures of Rihanna were taken the day after the reported attack and the impact of these on a jury, plus the gravity of the charges themselves could create a case from which Houdini himself would be taxed to escape. Mr. Brown’s Attorney’s are apparently negotiating a plea deal that would reduce the case to a misdemeanor, and leave Mr. Brown serving only probation rather than the hard jail time one might expect for such unbridled malice. But sources tell HMG the impact of the media’s coverage makes this a highly unlikely last act. And even though the couple are reportedly back together, the D.A. could still proceed with the full case and summarily end Brown’s career. Arraignment is scheduled to happen today, so all we can do now is wait for the news. And you can be sure a large part of the nation will be eagerly doing just that. Source

Oh wait! I can answer that question, because she is dumb!  How can she so easily forget her bruised and bloody face? Hopefully young women today are smarter than Rihanna and will not take her lead in forgiving someone so easily for beating the crap out of her.

WTF? This is crazy but Rihanna has reportedly reunited with Chris Brown. People magazine has said the couple is currently “spending time” together at one of Diddy’s homes. “They’re together again. They care for each other,” a source tells the magazine, before unsettlingly adding, “While Chris is reflective and saddened about what happened, he is really happy to be with the woman he loves.” Chris Brown, 19, reached out to Rihanna last Friday on her 21st birthday, when she celebrated with friends during a beach getaway to Punta Mita, Mexico, over the weekend. “He called to wish her happy birthday,” an insider relays to the mag. “They’ve reached out to each other. It’s been mutual.” Since the incident, Chris Brown remains under investigation by the Los Angeles police department. Singer Chris BRown recently attended his first anger-management session, so that at least seems a move forward. “Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired,” Brown said a week after the purported altercation. “I am seeking the counseling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones and I am committed, with God’s help, to emerging a better person.” In a statement, her rep assured fans that “she remains strong, is doing well, and deeply appreciates the outpouring of support she has received during this difficult time.” Photos: wenn.com Source: news
