Rihanna came dressed to impress, and was in character, from her black shades to her pearls. It may be a good thing Chris Brown decided to plea, because Riahnna looked like she was ready for this round. Rihanna dressed in all black looked more like she came to mourn Chris Brown than to testify against him. She was nothing short of flawless…
Rihanna releases statement through lawyer:
Riahanna had no objection to the plea agreement, Rihanna believes this is a fair and just resolution to this case. Rihanna wishes to thank from the bottom of heart the district attorney’s office and the Los Angeles police department, that showed her only courtesy and compassion through the course of this case.
Did Chris Brown Get A Fair Deal?
Rihanna will not testify today because Chris Brown has taken a plea deal instead. Chris Brown will work 180 days in a domestic violence program, he will be on probation for 5 years for felony assault, which is a set-up, and he will not serve any jail time. Some may be upset that he will not serve any jail time, but Rihanna did not have to take the stand, and undergo harsh interrogations. We all wanted to know what happened, but the plea ruin our chances of a trial. Is this justice, is this a win/win situation? Chris Brown Pleads Out…
Chris Brown must maintain his distance from Rihanna, and undergo counseling for domestic violence. I hope these two can move on and be better role models to our teens. My nosy behind will never know what happened.
UPDATE 03:49 PM – Chris Brown plea deal? Probation?
UPDATE 03:49 PM – One camera is allowed in the court room, but it’s only an audio feed for the networks to share. Only a sketch artist is allowed to capture pictures.
UPDATE 03:44 PM – Chris Brown is giving the puppy dog eyes, as he hangs his head between his tail. His momma is there to support her baby. Rihanna may already be in the court house, sources say she may be dressed in all black already seated in court, but it hasn’t been confirmed, yet. It is confirmed to be Rihanna, but she will not testify.
UPDATE 03:25 PM – Chris Brown arrives to court while paparazzi calls him names.
UPDATE 02:53 PM – There may be a deal already in place, and Rihanna may not testify. All this hoopla may turn out to be worthless.
UPDATE 02:42 PM – It’s an hour before the trial is set to start and TMZ has set-up a camera in front of the entrance to the court house. The camera will provide live streaming as people enter the building. Maybe we will get a shot of Rihanna.
UPDATE 10:33 AM – Hearing is scheduled for 1:45 PM (Pacific Time) or 3:45 PM (Central Time)
UPDATE 10:24 AM - Media swarm outside of courtroom expected. Fifty-two media outlets have asked to attend the proceeding, far more than were on hand for Paris Hilton’s re-jailing, Britney Spears’ divorce, the DUI cases of Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Richie or the murder trials of Robert Blake or Phil Spector.
“I’ve never seen this kind of interest, and I’ve been here seven years,” said court spokesman Allan Parachini. [Source]

UPDATE: Perez Hilton post a new video in response to Will.I.Am. In the video he calls Will a liar! Excuses Will’s entourage of punching him in the eye 2 or 3 times. This is about to get ugly! (Thanks GinaATL).
Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton has started a new beef, and this time its with Will.I.Am of The Black Eyed Peas.
Perez took to his twitter homepage to say,
“I’m in shock. I need the police ASAP. Please come to the SoHo Metropolitan Hotel now. Please,” he wrote on Twitter.
“I was assaulted by Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas and his security guards. I am bleeding. Please, I need to file a police report. No joke.”
Posting an update ten minutes later, he added: “Still waiting for the police. The bleeding has stopped. I need to document this. Please, can the police come to the SoHo Met Hotel.
“I spoke to my lawyer. I really need to talk to the authorities. Please come to the SoHo Met Hotel. Have called the police. Need them here.”
In response to Perez’ allegations Will.I.am release this statement through a video blog,
“This dude walks away, I leave, and then [Hilton] says, ‘You know that was very f*ggot of you for coming at me like that’. I said, ‘Yo dude, I was just saying keep our name out of your mouth if you’re going to be disrespectful’,” he said.
“This dude says in front of a whole bunch of people and fans in Canada, ‘You’re a f*ggot, will.i.am’. Right, I’m like, ‘Wow dude, whatever’.
“He walks away and then one of the fans goes a little crazy and like starts some stuff with Perez Hilton. I’m sitting minding my own business waiting for a car, but it goes to show you how crazy things can get. It’s not that serious, it’s all music and opinions.
“People make a career from opinions, which is cool, but don’t be disrespectful about it. And fans don’t get all crazy about it. That’s all I got to say today. Tonight was a good night but it ended quite crazy.”
The rapper then went on to question Hilton’s reason for tweeting the incident instead of going to police and that the celebrity shock jock is needy for attention.
WoW! Guess Perez got what he deserve! If you’re looking for trouble you’re certainly gonna find it.
UPDATE: Please don’t feel sorry for Dorion, although he’s acting like he’s so embarrassed. According to one of my twitter tweeps (tee_baby), this is the second round of photos for Dorian Standberry, “yes an email went around last yr with his pics!”. Womp womp womp! I should post them, now, since Dorian wants some attention…
Now, I don’t understand the double standard, but when Cassie and Rihanna’s nude photos were leaked, every site around the world had the photos posted in a matter of minutes. Now, Dorion Standberry (BET College Hill 5), computer and twitter account was hacked, and nude photos of him were released, and no one wants to post them. Is it because no one knows who he is, or because when it comes to men we have a double standard? Anyway, I didn’t post Cassie’s or Rihanna’s photos, and I’m not going to post Dorion’s, but I just thought it was quite odd.
In case anymore photos are leaked, you can follow Dorion on twitter here. If you want the NSFW version, click here:
Ciara has surely matured over the last couple of years. She is not the cute teenager we all fell in love with on her debut record ‘Goodies’. She has grown into a beautiful woman. Draped in fish net stockings and a black and white stripped leotard, the “Love Sex & Magic” singer is showing us just how much goodies she got!
