Chris Brown

In the second celebrity "swatting" incident in as many days, Los Angeles police responded to the home of singer Rihanna after a caller reported someone was shot inside her Pacific Palisades home. Emergency dispatchers received the call shortly after 3 p.m. Thursday reporting that someone had been shot and wounded inside the singer's home in the 900 block of Rivas Canyon Road, said LAPD Officer Bruce Borihahn. Officers secured the location and quickly determined the call was a hoax.  Rihanna, whose real name is Robyn Fenty, was not home when police responded to her home.

Chris Brown has chilled out enough to discuss his assault on Rihanna reasonably with someone on morning television. Brown infamously lost it with Robin Roberts on "Good Morning America" when she asked a series of questions about Rihanna in March 2011, storming offstage after the interview and then going on to bust up a dressing room. His "Today" interview Monday with Matt Lauer was definitely more copacetic.

Chris Brown considers the night he brutalized his girlfriend Rihanna "the biggest mistake" of his life. Acknowledging his actions that left Rihanna's face bloodied and bruised the night before the 2009 Grammy Awards, the 23-year-old opened up about the couple's rekindled romance. "Sometimes you row, you fight, with the one you love and things get said, stuff spirals," he told the Mirror at Elton John's Academy Awards party on Sunday. "That night was the deepest regret of my life, the biggest mistake.

Rihanna got a bloody knee during a tussle at a London club when a reveler allegedly threw a bottle in her direction. The "Stay" singer was in town to debut her River Island collection during London Fashion Week. Her show, which featured RiRi-inspired designs from her costume designer, reportedly started 50 minutes late on Saturday, according to the Telegraph. After the show, Rihanna hit the Box club in London to celebrate. As she was leaving with friends Cara Delevingne and Melissa Forde, a partygoer threw a bottle of a British energy drink at her, yelling something about RiRi getting back together with her controversial beau Chris Brown.

Rihanna wore lots and lots of rings at the 55th Grammy Awards on Sunday, but the one on the third finger of her left hand set off alarm bells in some quarters. That and the fact that she was snuggling with Chris Brown. Could she be engaged to Brown, her sometime boyfriend and one-time abuser? No, apparently this ring was just a ring, part of more than $2 million worth of baubles on loan from jeweler Neil Lane for the occasion.

Not far into Sunday's Grammy telecast there was a pivotal shot. During one of those predictable tight pans of celebrities in attendance, the camera found Rihanna . She looked radiant in her red gown and flowing tresses as she smiled widely for the camera. Despite how tight the frame was, it was impossible not to notice Chris Brown seated next to her. Backstage a few reporters groaned whenever the camera captured the two cuddled together and smiling widely, and their seating arrangement provided plenty of fodder, both good and bad, on social media networks.

Singer Chris Brown's lawyer fired back Wednesday at the Los Angeles County district attorney's office, accusing prosecutors of conducting their own "fraudulent" investigation into allegations that the entertainer had failed to fulfill his community service on a 2009 assault conviction involving Rihanna. Attorney Mark Geragos said there were countless examples of officials in Virginia witnessing Brown carrying out his court-ordered manual labor, which he said included shredding documents at the Richmond Police Department and cleaning the agency's stables.

When Chris Brown showed up in court on Wednesday, he had a date with him: Rihanna. Ironic, of course, as Brown was showing up for the regular probation status update hearing because of beating Rihanna in the face almost exactly four years ago. Brown pleaded guilty to felony assault in June 2009 and has been on probation ever since. Rihanna was conservatively dressed, relatively speaking, and sitting in the front row, according to L.A. Now . The two left court arm in arm, with Brown looking dejected and Rihanna trying to cheer him up, TMZ said.

Just a day after Los Angeles County prosecutors accused Chris Brown of faking his community service hours, the embroiled R&B star will appear before a judge. With questions raised about his court-ordered community service , Brown will be in court Wednesday for an already-scheduled progress report, according to our news blog L.A. Now . Prosecutors noted "significant discrepancies" in the hours Brown claimed to log according to the terms of his 2009 sentence for assaulting then ( and likely current?

Los Angeles County prosecutors on Tuesday accused singer Chris Brown of failing to complete his court-ordered community service for his 2009 assault conviction and questioned whether the documents submitted as proof of his service were fraudulent. A motion filed by the district attorney's office said that Brown claimed he completed four hours of trash pickup between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. on one day when he was actually on a private plane to Cancun that he boarded at 4 p.m. On another day that the entertainer said he was picking up trash in a Richmond, Va., alley, news photographers were snapping him 100 miles away in Washington, D.C., where he hosted a charity event that raised funds for the developmentally disabled, prosecutors contended.
