Things are still a little hazy, but here’s what we know so far: Last night, R & B singer Chris Brown turned himself in to the Los Angeles Police Department in response to an alleged domestic violence felony battery incident that occurred Sunday morning, when an argument between Brown and a woman in his vehicle escalated. Brown did not appear at the Grammys; he’s since been released from police custody after posting $50,000 bail. What’s not entirely clear is who the woman was, since domestic dispute complainants are kept anonymous.
The assumption is that the woman in Brown’s vehicle was his girlfriend Rihanna, who also pulled out of her appearance at the Grammys shortly before showtime. The LA Times has a source identifying Rihanna as the victim, and says she “suffered visible injuries.” The couple was also “seen happily sitting together at the annual pre-Grammy party hosted by Clive Davis.” It’s all a big mess, and sad and horrible and what can you say about it, really? Hey everyone: Don’t hit women.

Timbaland and Jay-Z can not be pleased with that young man.
Somewhere Ne-Yo’s pr people are high-fiving each other.
@janine: Considering than CDAN has it that Rihanna suffered a “broken jaw and shattered cheekbone”, no I don’t think Rihanna’s handlers/producers are too happy with his treatment of one of their bigger money making acts.
i’m still waiting for someone to explain to me how in god’s name jennifer hudson beat out al green and raphael saadiq.
@anibundel: if chris brown had shattered will.i.am’s jaw and cheekbone, i would have advocated not pressing charges. alas, will.i.am lives another worthless day.
@doublewhiskycokenoice: But you just know if Will.i.am’s jaw was busted, Will’s comeback would consist of somehow finding a way to sample Kanye’s “through the wire” and make it insipid, as evidenced by earlier post

I would not want to be one of Chris Brown’s knees when time comes from retribution. Remember ‘Guido the Killer Pimp’ making Tom Cruise’s life a living hell in “Risky Business”? It was because Cruise’s character broke the Golden Rule: Thou shalt not eff with a man’s livelihood. And Jay-Z is making far too much $$$ from Rihanna to let someone go busting her up like that.
Still, I’d rather face street justice over life in the “pokey,” which would be a scarily accurate term if CB did any serious time…

What a piece of shit.
Alright Chris! keep that pimp hand strong! *jokes*
Correction: don’t hit each other. Basic rules of kindergarten.
I KNEW it! Jay-Z is PISSED:
*CHRIS BROWN is set to incur the wrath of hip-hop king JAY-Z over his alleged assault on R&B star RIHANNA. Brown was arrested on Sunday (08Feb09) for felony battery after an incident with an as yet unidentified woman, reported to be Rihanna, in a vehicle in Los Angeles.
And Jay-Z, who discovered and mentored Rihanna, was reportedly enraged upon hearing the allegations, warning of retributions for Brown. A source tells Us Weekly magazine, “He hit the roof. Chris is a walking dead man. He messed with the wrong crew.”
