A judge on Tuesday sentenced Chris Brown to five years' probation, six months' community labor for the beating of Rihanna and ordered the R&B singer to stay away from his former girlfriend for the next five years. Like that’s gonna happen.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg told Brown that he could be sent to state prison if he violated any terms of his sentence, including an order to stay 100 yards away from Rihanna unless they're attending music industry events. Let’s see if they can resist.
A probation report prepared for Tuesday's sentencing describes two previous violent incidents. The first happened about three months before the February beating while the couple was traveling in Europe; Rihanna slapped Brown during an argument, and he shoved her into a wall. In the second instance, Brown allegedly broke the front and passenger side windows on a Range Rover they were driving while visiting Barbados, Rihanna 's home country. Neither attack was reported, the probation report states.
Brown will serve his sentence in his home state — Virginia — and his community labor will be overseen by the police chief in Richmond.
The judge said she wanted to ensure that Brown, 20, performs physical labor instead of community service, such as mentoring young people. He will also undergo a year of domestic violence counseling.
Rihanna did not attend Tuesday's sentencing. I guess she had other more important stuff to do than watch her abuser face the music.
So you would think because Rihanna didn't show up for court today Chris gets off the hook for two piecing her, well not so easily, A plea bargain has been accepted in the assault case agains him.Brown's plea deal will require him to spend 180 days in a labor domestic violence program and get five years probation for felony assault.If he violates his probation in any way, he'll get four years in prison.
Rihanna did not appear in court today and thus did not testify, I wonder why she didn't show face?.
What do U think of the court's decision? Was it fair? Too tough or too lenient?
Our boy Breezy was at Pleasure P album release party, You can bet your last dollar he wasn't thinking bout Rihanna who he had allegedly beatdown a few months back. Breezy was trying very hard to bring back his superstar steeze rollin’ in expensive cars, poppin’ bottles, flirting with older chicks and actin’ a fool.Omarion, Bow Wow, Richgirl and Mario were at the party actin' like big dawgs.
So let me get this straight. Chris Brown allegedly beats up Rihanna inside of a car on a public street, doing everything from punching her to biting her, yet anyone who says, “You know, you really shouldn’t do that,” is the bad person.Does one have to get socked in the eye to follow that logic?
Well, that’s how Chris Brown feels. During a live chat with Bow Wow last night, the man who now draws comparison to Ike Turner versus Michael Jackson, told the world “I’m not a monster.”
Maybe not, but he allegedly bites like one.
He also added, “We ain’t going nowhere. Everybody that’s haters, they just been haters. All my real fans, I love ya’ll. I ain’t a monster. Believe that.”
Chris Brown’s career should not end over one alleged slip up. His personal life shouldn’t overshadow his talent.
But, when you’re accused of domestic violence, should you be online talking about “the haters?”
Between the video chats, Twitter, and blogs, the internet is turning into one big PSA for publicists.
Well, it looks like Rihanna will have to take the stand after all. According to TMZ, the Los Angeles District Attorney told Rihanna's lawyer Donald Etra in a hearing today that the singer will be subpoenaed.Rihanna's lawyer says that his client will indeed cooperate and take the stand to testify at the preliminary hearing on June 22. "She will absolutely comply," he said. In the past, Etra had stated that Rihanna would testify if she was subpoenaed, and that is exactly what is going to happen. The preliminary hearing will determine whether or not the prosecution has enough evidence to go to trial.
Chris Brown has already pleaded not guilty to beating Rihanna after an altercation took place between the couple back on Feb. 8, the night before the Grammys.
The subpoenae isn't the only news that came out of today's hearing. People.com is also reporting that the judge in the case rejected a motion filed by Mark Geragos, Chris Brown's lawyer, asking for an order requiring the L.A.P.D. to give up the leaks in the case. Brown's lawyers want to know who leaked the photos of Rihanna's injuries.
Troubled singer Rihanna has thrown herself into her work since returning to the spotlight.
And despite saying little about the alleged attack on her at the hands of ex-boyfriend R&B singer Chris Brown, the 21-year-old is content to let her actions do the talking.
Rihanna sizzled in a sheer boned basque as she teamed up with rapper Kanye West in the video for his new track Paranoid.
Although she says nothing, her confident appearance speaks volumes.
Despite it being West's video, he was content to let Rihanna take centre stage and she is seen tossing and turning restlessly in bed and striking a series of seductive poses.
She later swaps the rather risque lingerie for an eighties-style white body con dress.
Rihanna has appeared at several high profile showbiz events over the last few weeks, while former lover Brown, 20, has been in hiding.
L.A. Reid and Island Def Jam Recordings have made it very clear: Spring 2009 belongs to them. During an exclusive event, Island Def Jam's Spring Collection, L.A. Reid and company showcased not only new and exclusive material coming from their flock of established artists, but also shined a massive light on several new acts falling under the pop, R&B and even alternative rock realms.The event, which was held at the Stephen Weiss Studio in downtown NYC, housed some of the industry's most elite personalities and executives, all of whom were personally invited by Mr. L.A. Reid himself.
Leading things off, Reid began the evening's festivities with a vivid two-minute montage of the entire IDJ roster. Shortly after, L.A. presented new visuals from Fabolous ("My Time," "Throw It In The Bag") The-Dream ("Walking On The Moon" ft. Kanye West) and existing clips from Rick Ross and Method Man and Redman's current projects.
Reid then switched gears and introduced several new young acts who will soon be a priority in the IDJ building this spring. Jeremiah, a 21-year-old R&B crooner from Chicago whose single, "Birthday Sex," is rapidly climbing the Billboard charts; and 14-year-old Justin Bieber, who was brought to L.A. Reid by Usher, both received an extremely warm welcome directly after their material was showcased.
With Rihanna in attendance, it was only right that Reid premiere the new, black and white visual for Kanye's next single, "Paranoid," which features the international starlet as the leading lady.
Following the clip, Reid brought Rihanna onstage to present her with a plaque celebrating the success of her latest effort, "Good Girl Gone Bad." The set, which featured the hit singles "Umbrella," "Hate That I Love You" and "Unfaithful," is noted as selling 16 million copies worldwide.
Toward the latter part of the evening, Reid also played new material from Amerie, who was also in attendance; The Noisettes, a new alternative rock group; and the lead-off single, "H-A-T-E U," from Mariah Carey's newest project, "Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel."
Other personalities in attendance last night were Chrisette Michele, ?uest Love, Pete Wentz from Fallout Boy, DJ Khaled and Ace Hood.
Late last week, self-taken nude photos of a woman alleged to be award-winning pop star Rihanna were posted on the internet, and while no one from RiRi's camp has denied or confirmed it's the "Umbrella" singer in the pics, a rep for her estranged boyfriend Chris Brown is lashing out against online reports that he had anything to do with these photos making their way to the world wide web.
“This is both a false and defamatory statement," reads a statement from Brown's rep to Essence.com. "Chris has not released or ‘leaked’ any photos of Rihanna (or anyone else for that matter).”
What is not addressed in the statement is whether or not the pics are indeed of Rihanna and whether or not that is indeed Chris with what appears to be a pair of panties draped over his head in one photo.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Los Angeles police have agreed to return the $1.4 million worth of jewelry that pop star Rihanna was wearing the night her R&B singer boyfriend Chris Brown is accused of assaulting her, Rihanna's lawyer said on Wednesday.
The earring and three rings that Rihanna was wearing were on loan to the "Umbrella" singer, who had attended a pre-Grammy party with Brown hours before the Feb 8 incident. They were taken by police as evidence in the case.
The designers asked for the bling to be returned and lawyer Donald Etra told a Los Angeles judge at a hearing on the assault case that police will first photograph them before handing them back.
Brown is charged with attacking Rihanna in their rented car on their way home from the party. He was not in court on Wednesday. He is free on bail pending a possible trial next month when he could be given probation or up to five years prison if convicted.

DISRESPECTFUL !?!?..... RIHANNA'S DAD SAYS CHRIS BROWN IS OLD NEWS … MY DAUGHTER DOESN'T WANT TO BE THE NEXT WHITNEY HOUSTON …
It looks like Chris and Rihanna may FINALLY be over … at least according to Rihanna’s father. Ronald Fenty spoke to US Magazine and said the following:Chris sounds like old news to me. [Rihanna’s] a different person, back to herself. It’s like Chris never [even] existed. She seems reborn.
Indeed a second source says Rihanna is in a really good place. “She’s realizing how precious life is … she could lose it all if she’s not smarter. She’s starting to see that one wrong choice about who she loves could turn her into the next Whitney Houston.”
We’re happy for Rih … But why Whitney gotta be brought into this ain't that a bit disrespectful...
Rihanna is booked to perform in Dubai on May 28, which will mark her first concert appearance since the February 8 altercation with Chris Brown. A location, however, has yet to be announced. The venue will likely be large and outdoors, says Mary Rachelle Cherpak, a spokeswoman for Dubai Tourism. “Normally they create a special stage in the desert for these events.”
“There will be over 25,000 tickets available,” Cherpak adds. “They will be going on sale in the next couple of days.”
Rihanna had been scheduled to perform at the Grammys on February 8, but she cancelled just before the ceremony following the incident with Brown. Her last concert was January 29 in Los Angeles.

The 19-year-old singer who has been charged with felony assault and making criminal threats following his alleged assault of Rihanna last month was having a relationship with 27-year-old Natasha Ellie.It has been claimed Natasha sent the three-page text message which is the subject of Rihanna's Emergency Room.
In the lyrics she mentions finding Natasha's number in Chris' jeans. Rihanna didn't write the song, but she met with the songwriter and told her how she felt and what she was going through and they came up with it.
Emergency Room includes the lyrics: "I was pickin' up your clothes in the closet/ I was 'bout to throw your jeans in the washer/ 'Til I saw a piece of paper sayin' "Tasha"/ I gotta say I found this a bit shockin'/ And some receipts here that say you went shoppin'/ You bought some Nike shoes/ But why you buyin stockings?/ Boy how could you lie to me?/ I thought you would die for me/ I'm not accepting another apology."
Natasha lives in Los Angeles and has worked as a runway model and also starred in several R&B videos, for artists including R. Kelly and Akon.
Natasha's representative has denied the model had a relationship with Chris, but confirmed the pair met in Miami two years ago....uhh yeah right..she aint even prettier than RiRi. First was his agent now a model, we wonder who else name's gonna pop up.
According to MTO, Rihanna has officially ended things Chris Brown and the manner in which it was done was "scandelous".
The insider, who spoke to MTO on the condition of anonymity, explained that Rihanna gave Chris an ultimatum – end all contact with manager Tina Davis, or lose her. The insider explained, “Rihanna will not take him back, especially if there is still any kind of relationship between him and Tina Davis - personal or professional! But he is not prepared to fire her, and [so he] lost Rihanna.”
As MTO reported earlier, Tina and Chris have been rumored to be having a sexual relationship for many years. According to TMZ.com, Tina sent Chris a sexual text message - which sparked the assault incident. Tina has since issued a public statement - claiming that she and Chris were not sexually involved.
And so as of last THURSDAY NIGHT, Rihanna and Chris are officially over. Another insider told MTO, “[Rihanna] left Los Angeles to clear her head … and get him out of her mind.”
But while Rihanna seems to be moving past the incident, Chris is reportedly falling into a very deep depression. A person close to Chris’ camp explains, “Initially he was confident that he’d get past this, but he’s beginning to loose hope … [Many] people are worried about him … I’ve never seen him like this.”

Since the release of different reports that Rihanna and Chris Brown are back together and were reunited at P Diddy's Beach House in Miami,It as began to anger many of Rihanna's fans mostly females and industry insiders such as Oprah Winfrey and former manhattan sex-crimes prosecutor Linda Fairstein.
Oprah Winfrey: "If a man hits you once, he will hit you again. He will hit you again."
She also went on to say that, she would dedicate a program about the situation on her next show - Domestic Violence.
"I want to do a show about it, dedicated to all the Rihannas of the world."
The former Manhattan sex-crimes prosecutor Linda Fairstein went as far as to compare the Chris Brown, Rihanna's saga to O.J. Simpson's case.
"Many of the circumstances in her case were like the early warning signs in the O.J. Simpson case," Fairstein said.
She also mentioned the fact that Chris Brown choked Rihanna while saying, "Now I'm really going to kill you" is a particularly bad sign.
"Choking behavior is a very interesting factor. It's hands on, face-to-face. It's a very intimate type of violence," she said. Well if she wants to get back with him..well lets just say its HER blood...
Not only did Chris Brown beat Rihanna’s face in… now he’s trying to destroy her career.Whispers are all over the place that Rihanna is on the verge of losing all her major endorsements over this whole assault incident.
Here’s how E! Online is reporting things:
"I don't believe brands will use a reunion with Chris Brown as the sole basis for disengaging from her," says David Reeder, vice president at the branding agency GreenLight.
"More likely, brands will let consumers voice their opinion on the resumption of her relationship. If public sentiment takes a less than supportive turn, current deals she has may choose not to renew."
"More likely, brands will let consumers voice their opinion on the resumption of her relationship. If public sentiment takes a less than supportive turn, current deals she has may choose not to renew."
Meantime, marketing consultant Eli Portnoy of the Portnoy Group adds, "A lot of marketers are taking a wait-and-see attitude."
Girl … you’re about to lose IT ALL … You better get away from that PUNK. I guess love IS blind REALLY blind maybe even as the result of a black eye LOL.
Learning that his daughter and Chris Brown have reconciled, Rihanna's father says he supports the singer in her decisions."Whatever road she chooses, I'm behind her," said Ronald Fenty, when reached by telephone in Barbados. Fenty took the reunion in stride Saturday, as he worked selling novelty items on a street corner in downtown Bridgetown. He says he hasn't spoken to his daughter since earlier this month, for her 21st birthday, and only found out about the reconciliation through the media.
"We are a family who stick together even though we are apart," he tells PEOPLE.
Rihanna and Brown have been in Miami Beach together, almost three weeks after Brown, 19, allegedly battered the "Umbrella" singer on Feb. 8, a source tells PEOPLE.
"While Chris is reflective and saddened about what happened, he is really happy to be with the woman he loves," the source says.
As for Rihanna, Fenty would only say, "She's a smart girl." When asked what he would tell Brown as a father, he demurred, "I have no comment on Chris Brown."
What a fool. Tell your daughter to ditch him dude!
Apparently Chris Brown and Rihanna are officially back together. Here's how People Magazine is reporting it:The pair have reunited almost three weeks after Brown, 19, allegedly battered the "Umbrella" singer on Feb. 8, a source tells PEOPLE."They're together again. They care for each other," says the source.

Riri has come out of hiding after the tragic incident with ex bf Chris Brown. She was spotted in Mexico vacationing and seemed to be in somewhat of a depressive state, who can blame her with what transpired in the last couple of weeks.Meanwhile there are rumors circulating that Rihanna may be pregnant! How true are these rumors? Only time will tell...
The 19-year-old singer accused of beating his ex-girlfriend earlier this month has been left fearing for his life, after receiving a series of menacing messages following the publication of a photo of a battered woman believed to be Rihanna.A source told In Touch Weekly magazine: "Chris is scared. Not only has he probably lost his career and his girlfriend, but he's also fearing for his security and his life.
"The photo was the last straw. The threats started pouring in the moment that appeared."
Rihanna, 21, allegedly told police Chris beat her, choked her until she passed out and threatened to kill her during an argument in Los Angeles.
Brown has been charged with making criminal threats and was released on $50,000 bail. He is being investigated for other felonies, including domestic violence and assault resulting in great bodily injury.
The source added: "He faces criminal charges and possible jail time, but he's going to have to deal with Rihanna's legion of fans and her close-knit friends in the industry."
Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) has confirmed it is still investigating how the photograph - a close-up of a young woman's face with cuts on her lips, bruises to her cheeks and forehead and a swollen nose - was leaked.
LAPD spokesman, Lieutenant John Romero said: "They said they were looking into it vigorously. We are not talking about the protocols, because it will relate to this investigation."
Although the LAPD has not formally identified the woman in the picture as Rihanna, they have admitted the picture appears to have been taken "during an official domestic violence investigation."
