Rihanna and Chris Brown Record A Duet!

Have Rihanna and Chris Brown just completely forgotten they’re supposed to be embroiled in a bitter court case over whether of not said Brown beat up the lovely singer?

Well, I’ll answer that for you shall I? Yes they blinking well have as they decide to release a duet together to prove they are very much still ‘in love’ - crikey, watch out Sonny and Cher!

According to sources in the US, the reconciled couple are heading into the studio to record a duet for Brown’s new album - well I suppose that might be the only way Brown ever shifts his records from now on…

The couple’s show of unity comes just weeks after Brown allegedly assaulted Rihanna in a Lamborghini he’d rented, leaving her bloody and bruised. In the weeks that have passed, he’s since been charged with assault and making criminal threats and faces over four years in jail if found guilty.

However, despite what the police, press and, well everybody is saying, the pair seem to be completely oblivious to their impending trial and decided to try and cash in on the headlines as much as they can, by recording a bloody record!

Meanwhile, Brown reportedly refused to leave LA after his hearing last week to spend the weekend with Rihanna - and the couple remain “very much in love”, according to pals.

Rihanna's Family Pray For Prison

Rihanna's family hope Chris Brown is jailed.

Chris, 19, has been charged with two felonies - assault and making criminal threats - for his alleged attack on the 'Umbrella' singer and her loved ones hope he receives the maximum sentence of four years and eight months in prison if found guilty.

One relative said: "It's about time. He should be in jail. He deserves whatever he gets."

Chris reportedly punched, bit and choked Rihanna until she was unconscious after they began arguing in his rented silver Lamborghini on February 8.

Rihanna's father Ronald Fenty has spoken out about the incident, claiming no punishment could excuse Chris' behaviour.

Speaking about how he felt when Chris was charged, Ronald said: "I don't know how to react. Chris is a very talented guy. I still think he's a little immature for Rihanna. Justice can never be served in this situation. He can't feel the pain she felt.

I would tell Chris, 'Don't ever try again, don't even think about it.' I'm hurt and disturbed at that scenario.
"I don't believe in hitting a woman. I hope everything works out better for them. I don't feel happy or sad. He's in the court's hands. Let justice prevail."

Ronald has not been in regular contact with his daughter since the incident, but says he is still supporting her.

He told Us Weekly magazine: "I can't get on to her. Her mother can't get on to her, her brother told me she changed her email. Somebody has a stranglehold on her. I'm lost.

"Anyone in my family, I'm there for them. All of my kids, I'm there for them. Rihanna's no exception. All of them I would support."

Asked what message he had for Chris, he replied: "I would tell Chris, 'Don't ever try again, don't even think about it.' I'm hurt and disturbed at that scenario."

Although Chris and Rihanna initially split following the reported incident, they are now believed to have married at P. Diddy's Miami home last weekend.

Rihanna's representatives have refused to confirm or deny the allegation, saying: "We aren't able to offer anything right now but will keep you posted if that changes."

Rihanna Dress Being Studied

Rihanna's blood-soaked dress is among the evidence being investigated by police for their case against Chris Brown.

The 21-year-old singer's $11,000 Gucci garment has been handed over to the Los Angeles District Attorney's office following Brown's alleged attack on Rihanna on February 8.

A source said: "The police took Rihanna's dress into evidence because it had bloodstains on it."

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) has refused to comment on the claims.

Rihanna is believed to have requested an emergency protection order just hours after the alleged assault, to prevent Brown from contacting her. The order expired after five days.

Santa Monica-based criminal defence attorney Alec Rose said: "It is standard practice for police to ask the domestic violence victim at the scene of the attack whether they would like an emergency protective order keeping the attacker away."

The police took Rihanna's dress into evidence because it had bloodstains on it.

Brown was charged with making criminal threats and released on $50,000 bail following the incident and is due to attend an arraignment in Los Angeles today (05.03.09).

Rihanna reportedly told police he beat her and choked her until she was unconscious.

It has previously been reported Chris' rented Lamborghini - were the altercation took place - had traces of blood in it when it was impounded by police.

Meanwhile, reports claim Chris' attorney are conducting talks with the District Attorney which could see him enter a plea bargain in a bid to avoid going to prison.

The case was handed to the District Attorney yesterday (04.03.09), and Brown's' lawyer Mark Geragos has been discussing the matter with prosecutors since Monday (02.03.09).

It has been suggested his legal team want to strike a deal which would see him remain free if he pleads guilty to a misdemeanour, although it is unknown whether prosecutors are willing to compromise.

Rihanna did not file charges against Brown and the pair are believed to have married in secret at rapper P. Diddy's Miami mansion.

A source said: "Rihanna never had any intention of ending it with Chris. It's partly because she cares about him a lot. But another big part is that she can't bear the thought of him with another girl."

Chris, 19, is accused of beating and choking Rihanna after they got into an argument in his rented silver Lamborghini on February 8.

After initially separating, the couple are believed to have reconciled after holding crisis talks at P. Diddy's Miami home last weekend.

A source said: "Chris doesn't actually have to go by law, but he believes it will make him look better to the public, and he wants to try to get in a few classes before his court date on March 5."

Chris - who recently released a statement saying he was "sorry and saddened over what transpired" - is believed to have attended his first class in California on Monday (23.02.09).

It has also been claimed 21-year-old Rihanna has a bad temper and the pair had several heated arguments before the incident in Chris' car on February 7.

The source added to the New York Daily News newspaper: "Rihanna is temperamental, too. They're both too hot-headed for their own good.

"It didn't help that Rihanna grabbed the keys out of his rented Lamborghini and threw them down the street. She knew it would really infuriate Chris, and it worked."

Rihanna was allegedly left with bruises and cuts to her mouth, forehead and cheeks after Chris, 19, attacked her.

It is believed the Barbados-born beauty will be required to appear at her estranged lover's court trial, forcing the pair to see each other for the first time since Chris was arrested.

The source explained: "Rihanna will be there, she has to testify. If Chris is convicted, it would be his first offence. He won't go to prison. "

THIS is the battered face of singer RIHANNA after she was allegedly bashed by boyfriend CHRIS BROWN.

The shocking photo was released by pals of the pop star as revenge after rapper Brown’s “arrogant” apology.

It shows her bloody, swollen lips, welts on her forehead and bruises on her eyes, nose and cheeks.

The Umbrella singer, who turned 21 yesterday , was also bitten on the arm during the alleged pre-Grammy bust-up on February 8.

The Los Angeles Police Department has launched an internal probe over how the picture was leaked to US website TMZ, saying it “has the appearance” of a photograph taken during a domestic violence investigation.

But Rihanna’s aides said they wanted the world to see her injuries after Brown’s weak apology.

One said: “The picture is shocking enough to put pressure on Chris to take more responsibility. They also know reaction to the picture could kill his career.

“Rihanna was appalled by his apology and his behaviour since the incident.”

Brown, 19, took a week to make his public statement, which didn’t even mention Rihanna by name.

He said: “Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired.

“I am seeking the counselling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones, and I am committed, with God’s help, to emerging a better person.”

And Rihanna has released a statement through her representative thanking fans for their support.

The statement reads: “At the request of the authorities, Rihanna is not commenting about the incident involving Chris Brown.

“She wants to assure her fans that she remains strong, is doing well, and deeply appreciates the outpouring of support she has received during this difficult time.”

Brown is free on £35,000 bail after being arrested on suspicion of making criminal threats and is due in a Los Angeles court on March 5.

The LA District Attorney’s Office is continuing to investigate whether to charge Brown with domestic assault.

He allegedly attacked the beauty in a bust-up after Brown received a text message from another woman as they left a Hollywood do before the Grammy awards.

A spokeswoman for TMZ refused to reveal the source of the photo, but added: “It has been obtained legally.”

The former Spice Girls star - who struck up a friendship with the 'Umbrella' singer last year - was shocked to hear Rihanna had allegedly been attacked by boyfriend Chris Brown.

Rihanna wears and eye patch caused by ex-boyfriend Chris Brown

COPS were last night investigating whether an injury that forced pop star RIHANNA to wear an eye patch was caused in a bust-up with boyfriend CHRIS BROWN.

According to police sources, the Barbados-born singer, 20, suffered a scratched cornea last year and began wearing a patch to cover her red and sensitive eye.

It is thought she then incorporated the accessory into her stage costume — including the glittering diamond-encrusted version she sported at the 2008 American Music Awards.

Umbrella star Rihanna suffered a bloody nose, swollen lip and facial bruising in an alleged bust-up with 19-year-old R ‘n’ B star Brown before last Sunday’s Grammy awards.

Los Angeles cops are now probing an alleged history of violent rows between the pair and claims of possible abuse in the past.

A police source said: “We’re investigating if her eye injury could have been caused by Brown.


“There could be an innocent explanation — but police believe Rihanna has previously refused to make a complaint against Brown. She is now being asked about her past injuries and is beginning to open up about incidents in their relationship.”

An LAPD source said: “We’re talking to her friends and management, who say she’s appeared with mysterious marks or injuries before, but always refused to explain what happened.

“There was one instance when she suddenly appeared with an eye patch, saying her cornea had been scratched.”

Brown was charged with making threats following Sunday’s alleged episode.

It is believed a domestic assault charge will be added or substituted as the main charge.

The Sun can reveal that after the weekend’s apparent bust-up, devastated Rihanna was reluctant to file a police complaint, but was persuaded to by her mum Monica.

Reports also claimed the singer was spotted with a bruise to her neck last December — but kept quiet about what caused it.

US Weekly magazine said: “Chris and Rihanna have a very volatile relationship. He can be quite wild and demanding.”

The mag said further cracks in the relationship became apparent two days BEFORE the Grammys at a party hosted by Timbaland.

An onlooker claimed Brown flew into a jealous rage — accusing Rihanna of sleeping with the hip-hop legend and producer.

Brown gave himself up to cops on Sunday and was charged before his release on $50,000 bail.

He is due in court on March 5.

His lawyer Mark Geragos did not return calls or emails last night.

Meanwhile, Brown has offically ended his relationship with Rihanna via his Facebook page.

The singer changed his relationship status to 'single' and wrote: "You'll begin to see her true colours. Believe it!".
