This shit is going to DOMINATE the news today, and I am SO HAPPY that this asshole has to go to court, and I’m praying there’s some REAL punishment for his actions.

Fox News paid someone at the LAPD to leak them the detective’s notes about the case, and here’s what they had to say:

After Rihanna read a text message on Brown’s phone from a woman, he tried to force Rihanna out of the car, but couldn’t because she was wearing her seatbelt.

Brown then allegedly slammed Rihanna’s head against her window, and when Rihanna turned to face him, he punched her.

The notes said blood spattered on Rihanna’s clothing and the interior of the Lamborghini.

Rihanna also called her assistant, according to FOX 11, leaving a message saying, “I am on my way home. Make sure the cops are there when I get there.”

Brown then reportedly replied, “You just did the stupidest thing ever. I’m going to kill you,” and proceeded to punch and bite Rihanna. He allegedly put her in a headlock so long that she almost lost consciousness.

And Extra! says they have PHOTOS of Chris’s blood-spattered Lamborghini and will be showing the photos on their show tonight.

“Extra” has obtained photos of the inside Chris Brown’s rented Lamborghini. The images reveal blood splattered on the passenger’s side dashboard. Rihanna was reportedly sitting in the passenger seat of the car the night she was allegedly attacked. Tune in to “Extra” tonight for a sneak preview of the photos.

Classy!

And I have to tell you guys my favorite part of all of this: the photo I’ve posted above? No, that was not my horrible, poor-taste idea, it’s the actual photo that Fox News used to run with this story. You better believe someone over there is patting their back over this: “Look, it’s like she’s reading the text message! And she’s horrified! And he’s smiling, because he’s about to kick her ass! How great is that?”

Good job guys!!!

Rihanna’s newest Cover Girl ad which appears in People this week.  I know these ads are set months in advance, but it still creeps me the hell out.

Chris Brown has his day in court today.  And he needs to actually appear.  Unless a deal is struck.  Whaaaat?

Yep, Brown’s attorney-Mark Geragos, has been in downtown LA this week meeting with the DA assigned to this case.  The two have been meeting in hopes of coming to a compromise with the charges against Chris.  How do you think this will go?  He could be charged with a felony.  That would mean jail if he was found guilty.  He could plead guilty to a misdemeanor; he would take some classes, do some community service and be done.  Or he could plead guilty to a felony, but if he stays out of trouble for a year, charges could be down-graded to a misdemeanor level.

I’m not going to freak my freak until we see what actually happens.  Prosecutors do often pursue domestic violence cases even when the victim is unwilling to testify.  The pictures of Rihanna should be evidence enough!  But, if a deal is cut, what message does this send?  Okay, okay, I’m keeping my cynicism at bay and hoping for the best.

Listen, this Chris Brown and Rihanna deal is played out at this point.  There are only so many ways to say it:  Chris is a scum.  Rihanna needs to run.  End of story.  But…

Who are these PR people Chris hired to help salvage his reputation?  Because they need to be fired, yesterday.  The half-assed non-statment, the phallic jet-skiing poses, the reconciliation with Rihanna-any decent public relations firm would not be letting this shit happen.  The only element that gives me a small sigh of relief is that Brown was not seen partying this weekend; it was a look-alike.  Poor bastard, being a Chris Brown ringer.

Chris is not only working to win back his victim, he is also in Miami recording for his newest album which, I suspect, will have anorexic airplay.

If Chris Brown was some anonymous warehouse worker, is there any doubt he would be in jail right now?

I suppose this is as unsurprising as it is upsetting.

People magazine is reporting that Chris Brown and Rihanna have reconciled, and are currently holed up at one of Diddy’s homes.

I know what you’re thinking: Diddy probably lent them that place so he could have his bodyguards hold Chris down while Rihanna kneed him in the balls repeatedly. Right?

Nope.

“They’re together again. They care for each other,” says a source. “While Chris is reflective and saddened about what happened, he is really happy to be with the woman he loves.”

If this is true, Rihanna, SHAME ON YOU. The eyes of the world’s young women are turned to you right now, and what do you do? Run back to the man who beat you? I don’t care how young you are or what you’re a victim of, this is your life, this is your decision, and it is reprehensible. The example you’re setting for women everywhere is nauseating. Shame, shame, shame. Get your act together, girl. This isn’t a pattern you want to set for your life, and it is not a message you want to send to your fans.

Photogs snapped some rare shots of Rihanna on the beach in Punta Mita, where she’s been staying with some close friends.

While you can’t see any of the bruising from the beating she sustained several weeks ago, the paparazzi said Rihanna looked sad in all their photos. No surprise there.

Meanwhile, Chris Brown remains in hiding, although it’s rumored that he’s begun taking anger management classes.

I’m glad Rihanna is at least out and about and spending time with her friends. It’s obviously going to be a long healing process, but we’re behind you 100%, girl!!!

R&B singer, Ne-Yo, wants the world to know that, though his buddy Chris Brown beat the hell out of Rihanna, he’s not willing to judge.

“I saw the picture,” Ne-Yo said of the leaked photograph of a battered Rihanna. “That just really hurt me to my heart, man. Again, I still don’t know what happened, ’cause I haven’t had the opportunity to talk to Chris yet. But to take it to that level really hurt my heart. All I can say is, I’m praying for both of them. They’re both in my prayers.”

While Wrigley’s Gum and numerous radio stations have been quick to part ways with Brown, Ne-Yo isn’t as anxious to turn his back on an old friend. “I’m not going to crucify him. I’m not going to do that. That’s still my homeboy at the end of the day,” Ne-Yo said. “For it to go to that level was wrong. I won’t say who was responsible. I won’t pick no sides. I’m just saying it was wrong it had to happen like that, and I’m praying for the both of them.”

“I won’t say who is responsible,”?  Uh, does he think Rihanna bashed herself in the face?

I’m sorry but  I feel that there is a time when you have to be brave and draw a line and take a stand and do every other cliche that equals “not gonna take it”.  This is one of those times.  “For it to go to that level was wrong,” and “…it was wrong it had to happen like that,” sounds minimizing to me.  People look up to celebrities; I have no idea why, but they do.  So, Ne-Yo and all these other fencesitters have a responsibility to send the message that violence, under any circumstance is not okay.

I’ve forgiven Ne-Yo for a lot.  I forgave him for being on that hellacious Rosie O’Donnell variety show.  But this…I don’t know.
