good so maybe this will be the end of the bullshit they have both been putting out and maybe we can get some variety, no offense but there are more than 1 male and 1 female rb singer out there.

THis has moved way beyond dissatisfaction with the current state of music. We are talking about a very serious situation and I for one, am more concerned with Rihanna and her getting the help she needs and Chris being prosecuted. I like to think my priorities are in the right place.

Los Angeles police said they plan to detain R&B singer Chris Brown for questioning in connection with an alleged domestic violence assault against his girlfriend, pop singer Rihanna, according to sources familiar with the investigation.

Both stars canceled their performances at tonight's Grammy Awards. The alleged incident is being investigated as a felony domestic violence case. It was reported about 12:30 a.m. Sunday in Hancock Park.

Brown and Rihanna, whose full name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty, were apparently in a car together and got into an argument on North June Street, according to a Los Angeles Police Department statement. Brown stopped the car, the two got out, and the argument escalated, according to police.

A witness called 911, but Brown was gone when officers arrived at the scene. The woman suffered visible injuries and identified Brown as her attacker, according to police.

Brown and Rihanna had appeared together Saturday night at Clive Davis’s pre-Grammy gala in Beverly Hills.

Shortly before the Grammy show began at 5 p.m. at Staples Center, Grammy officials issued a statement saying, "We have just been informed Rihanna will not be attending tonight’s 51st Grammy Awards. Rihanna will not be performing. We are sorry to see she is unable to join us this evening.”

A publicist for the Barbados-born star, who sold more digital song downloads than any other in 2008 with nearly 10 million tracks, said Sunday night, “Rihanna is well. Thank you for your concern and support.”

Her song “Disturbia,” which she’d been scheduled to perform at the ceremony, was the sixth best-selling digital track of the year. She was replaced by veteran soul singer Al Green, who was accompanied by country singer-guitarist Keith Urban.

Brown’s record label spokesman did not respond to The Times’ request for comment. His whereabouts were unknown as the Grammy show began. Brown finished 2008 as the fourth-best-selling artist in the digital realm, posting 6.8 million tracks sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Well of course but im not going to buy into TMZ as a news source as yet, they have more lawsuits against them, then Beyonce for stealing tracks. The whole story seems really fishy to me, one minute there at a party, then theres an auto accident rumoured then charges filed. Hey if he's guilty throw him in jail and toss the key away and let him fucking rot for hitting a woman, i got no issue with a dude doing time for his crimes.

He looked like he was planning to beat her ass even from this pic.

The story is true. I don't know how many sources you need. The LA Times is reporting it and also saying it was Rihanna. The story changes as do all fast breaking stories-doesn't mean they are not true. I used to work in journalism. Now if it was media takeout, that is a different thing, but TMZ has access to police reports

Maybe they weren't in a limo

I don't think it matters why they got in a fight. All that matters is he hit her.
Chris Brown -- Booked
Posted Feb 8th 2009 11:00PM by TMZ Staff

Chris Brown has officially been booked into the custody of the Los Angeles Police Department. His bail has been set at $50,000 -- no word if he's paid it yet.

Story Developing...

scriptgirl said:

All im saying is that the La Times or Ny times or even CNN is one thing, TMZ is not a news source, ever since the whole Alec Baldwin fiasco, where they took a second of a father "yelling" at his kid branded him a child beater, they illegally got tapes from his answering machine for that story, that is not journalism, that is a crime itself. And also the fact that they ran with the John Travolta story, reporting his sons death before FAMILY and relatives where told!! Sorry but that is going to far, and anyone that advocates that kind of reporting has issues.

Now for this case, like i said, lock him and let him fucking rot in jail.

For the record though "sources" are not really "sources" they all go off the same person, so if ONE gets something wrong then the whole freaking world gets it wrong, not saying thats the case here, but it has happend countless times and the problem is that these news sources are not liable.

I believe that the woman in question is, of course, Rihanna.
What pisses me off are some of the comments that people on other sites are making about her; they think she's lying or was "too clingy" and a bunch of other ignorant shit. What the hell would she gain from lying to the police? And if she wasn't in a car accident, and I highly suspect that she wasn't due to lack of police report or pap pictures (hell, they were all over Lindsay Lohan when she got that DUI! They probably got there before the cops did!), then how did she get the injuries?
And if it comes to light that Chris did break her jaw, are his fans still gonna be so quick to defend their heartthrob singer then?

Lawd, I hope for his sake he don't get jail time cuz they gon' wear his pretty lil ASS out on cell block D.

SCNDLS said:

1. No need to take a chill pill because I'm perfectly fine, don't know where the "hostility" you were sensing is coming from...

2. The next post after yours shows a car that isn't a limo.

3. The story doesn't make sense if it's a limo, surely the limo driver would've either intervened or not left her by herself once she got out of the car?

SCNDLS said:

damn, you may have a point there.

Wonder what this so-called argument was about. this will be very interesting.

SCNDLS said:

With all the rumors being spread, I'm gonna make a rumor that the muthafucka stole my bike!


watches it spread

Chris will be in the celebrity section of jail. And in case you haven't noticed, most times, men don't get jail time for beating women. Hell, some men that have killed their wives get child custody.

and beat you with it!!!!

purplesweat said:

That's the car that took him to the police station and doesn't mean that's the vehicle he was in when the shit went down. All I'm saying is that the story is still developing so you nor anyone else that wasn't there has NO idea what really went down. So stop saying shit like it's fact cuz it ain't.

I love how people are like, "Chris wouldn't hit a girl!" "He's too adorable and innocent!"
I know people who are cool beans in public but abuse their wives in private. Nothin' but a front.

gives half the publicity money to missfee

oooooh that is messed up! Girlfriend needs to dump him yesterday! I hope he gets taught a good lesson, what a straight up punk.

Maybe he rode your bike to the police station with his attorney on the handlebars.

Isn't there an MJ connection with his attorney???
