Chris Brown Arrested for Hitting Woman and it was Possibly Rihanna!?!?!?!?!

Ok this story is just flat out crazy. I mean I have heard so many things about it from so many different sources. Here is the official clip of the situation that the press has released…

Now this is what is going around in Hollywood at the moment because no one really knows the entire story. But I was visiting one of the best damn blogs ever Young Black and Fabulous.com

And they are reporting an entirely different story..Now this site is known as a gossip site and this story might not be true, But it makes for some entertaining reading….

TheYBF.com

UPDATE (1:20a EST): Video of Chris Brown turning himself in to LAPD is below (excuse the extra large size for now). He has already set bail. Word has it he was charged with Felony Criminal Threats–which means physical violence accompanied verbal threats. Rihanna was also spotted at the LAPD Wilshire Station making the actual booking charges. She appeared to have serious bruises on her face:

UPDATE (11:13p EST): Chris Brown has officially been booked and his bail is set at $50,000.  Full Booking info when you read the rest…

UPDATE (10:21P EST): We’re told Chris has been getting prepped by his lawyers for the last few hours. And he has just turned himself in to LAPD.

UPDATE (9:11p EST): Ok, here’s the low down we got from an extremely credible PR source on the ground at the Grammys. Said source tells TheYBF.com that the “car accident” story is false and is being used to throw everyone off. Rihanna is DEFINITELY the victim of domestic violence and is now pressing charges against her boyfriend Chris Brown as we speak. Early this morning while leaving Clive Davis’ party, the two got into a physical altercation in their limo and he punched Rihanna in the face. We’re told that’s when he/the limo dropped her at Hancock Park in L.A., and she ran and called 911. He left the scene and hasn’t been found since. We’re told Chris has until midnight tonight to turn himself in to LAPD. Otherwise, he will be arrested as soon as he’s spotted by an LAPD officer. We’re told Rihanna is definitely in the hospital recovering as we speak.

UPDATE (7:21pm EST): It has just been confirmed that neither Rihanna nor Chris Brown will be performing or showing up at all to tonight’s Grammys. Grammy staffers are saying Chris may be replaced by Justin Timberlake. Chris has NOT been arrested as of yet. But LAPD Officer April Harding has just said: “If police locate Brown, yes, he’s subject to arrest.”

UPDATE (7:50p EST): The Recording Academy’s official statement: “We have just been informed that Rihanna will not be attending tonight’s 51st Annual GRAMMY Awards. We’re sorry she is unable to join us this evening.’ No confirmation from the Academy about Chris Brown, but the Grammy staff confirmed earlier he will not be attending. Being considered to replace him are Justin Timberlake and Al Green.

O snap! Word just hit the Grammy Red Carpet and media sources around it that Chris Brown is being investigated for felony battery.

There was an “incident” around 12:30a this morning with a female who was in his limo after they left the Clive Davis Pre-Grammy party. Apparently he and an unnamed female–who everyone’s speculating is his girlfriend pop star Rihanna–got into a heated argument in the limo and it escalated. She ended up having very visible injuries to her body and she has just filed charges.

While Chris was definitely with Rihanna at the party, the female’s name who filed the charges against Chris is being held in secret right now. Apparently that’s the policy for felony battery issues. Cops involved in the case just said: “Any victim who’s involved in a domestic violence incident is entitled to confidentiality.” And since they’re calling this a “domestic violence” charge, this leads folks to believe this could very well involve Rihanna. Damn. Ish just got real in Tinsletown.

Interestingly, when Rihanna’s reps were asked about her well being, their response was: “Rihanna is well. Thank you for concern and support.” Very suspicious to say the least.

Chris is set to perform tonight, but the head of the Grammys just announced during the pre-show he doesn’t think Mr. Breezy will be hitting the stage. Or Rihanna either. It’s rumored they’ve been replaced by Boyz II Men. Drama!

You know this is going to be a mess for Chris Breezy’s career…I just hope he can come back from this because if this gets too out of hand it could potentially ruin his career.

It’s the Grammy’s The Recap

February 9, 2009 at 2:55 am (In The News, Musical Corner, Pop Culture) (, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , )

The night started with Bono and mega group U2 performing the new single titled “Get Your Boots” to set the tone for the evening. Then Ms. Whitney herself came to give out the first award of the evening which was best R&B album which was given to Miss Jennifer Hudson.

Then the performances started OMG performance after performance was a disappointment. It almost seems as if the Grammy’s were doing the same thing as the American Music Awards. The program was flooded with performances instead of awards. The only problem with this is the AMA’s has fewer awards than the Grammy’s so it was almost as if they needed to flood their show. The Grammy’s have so many awards that if they tried to show all of them they still would not be able to in the time that is allotted on the CBS network.

So one has to wonder why were all of these performances present and hardly any awards given out on the air? I feel as a viewer, I should NOT!!!! have to go to the Grammy website just to see who has won awards in my favorite categories. What is happening to our Award Shows these days??? It seems they become more and more lame as time passes us by.

The highlights of the evening were U2, Jennifer Hudson (who gave the performance of the night in my opinion), Carrie Underwood, Katy Perry, The Four Tops tribute (with Jamie Foxx and Ne-Yo), Adele, Sugarland, Coldplay feat. Jay. Z, Kanye/T.I./Jay Z/Lil Wayne, Lil Wanye with Robin Thicke, Estelle feat. Kanye West and Alison Krauss and Robert Plant.

Now all of the other performances were just a mess in my opinion…The singing or lack there of by Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus was a definite down side of the evening but not the biggest shocker. Another HUGE downfall of the night and it pains me to say was M.I.A. This is my girl but she messed up last night. First of all her baby was due the night she performed on stage. Then, what she had on was a train wreck…I mean it was see through with dots that covered her breast, belly and butt….I mean come on girl sit down and rest yourself…Looking like a Big Lady Bug….Singing Swagger Like Us!!! LOL

The Jonas Brothers were by far the BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT of the evening. They performed with the Legendary Stevie Wonder and sounded a hot I repeat hot mess….They sung their song “burnin up” then forever tarnished the classic Superstitious….I mean I was mad as hell…I mean even offended

Another problem I had was that Leona Lewis and Jazmine Sullivan won NO awards…..I am so upset at this because they are both extraordinary talents that deserve to be recognized….. :(   tear!!!!
