Chris Brown May Be In Vegas With Friends

Chris_Brown_Assault_Charge_AmyG_SPL67978_014

Since being accused of a serious assault committed against his girlfriend Rihanna, Chris Brown has been hiding in order to escape the paps [Website – Amy Grindhouse].

After a week of crazy, inflated reporting about the facts of his assault case, it’s no wonder Brown wants to get away from the media scrutiny and go to ground – where is Brown hiding you ask – well, according to some reports the star is in Las Vegas with a group of friends.

According to E! Online, the 19-year-old singer may be staying at the Vegas Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. A Sin City source said, “They had to kick out any paparazzi that were around and get him tons of security to sneak him in.”

“We cannot confirm that Chris is staying with us,” a Hard Rock spokesman tells E! “However, several of his friends are staying on [the] property.”

Apparently the singer (or should I say, former singer) is doing well and his long-term stylist says Brown is regretful about the way the situation has turned out. “Chris is all right. He’s a good kid. He feels very bad that something like this has happened,” his longtime wardrobe stylist Mike B. tells PEOPLE. 

Another friend echoes that sentiment, telling PEOPLE, “You can tell everybody that Chris really feels bad about the whole situation, about it coming out the way that it happened, the way he went about it, the way she went about it … it’s just a wack situation.”

Those who want to read a good round up account of the events as they stand so far should head over to TMZ.com for their summary.

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE STAR HIDING OUT?

Rihanna May Need Plastic Surgery For Wounds

Rihanna_Chris_Paris_AmyG_SPL67978_001

So, there are another butt-load of Alien Princess RiRi and Ike Turner Brown updates to tell you peeps about [Website – Amy Grindhouse].

The first and saddest is that today shocking tales of the exact extent of Rihanna’s injuries have been revealed by inside sources and it ain’t pretty. Several news outlets are reporting that Brown beat Rihanna so badly that he broke several of her teeth and he hit her face so hard her eyes became swollen shut.

I am so sad typing this. This is the type of story one does not cover often and to be honest, I don’t enjoy, nor do I sleep well after writing about this kind of sad event. Between feeling sad for someone who some bloggers are speculating may have been a prolonged victim of domestic abuse – due to the escalating nature of the crime – and also feeling real shock at this happening between such a young couple.

The two saddest reports today are that Brown actually threatened to kill his girlfriend. Says NY Daily News, ”Brown, 19, wrapped his hands around his girlfriend’s neck and screamed, “I’m going to kill you!”

According to The Sun baby girl was beaten so badly that she may require plastic surgery, “Cops took multiple pictures at the scene. Chris Brown allegedly hit Rihanna so hard with his fists, she could barely open her eyes for the photos — they were almost completely swollen shut. She had a fat lip, her mouth was swollen, her nose was badly bloodied, and she had contusions on her forehead and both sides of her face.”

People who missed earlier news on this may want to head over to NecoleBitchie.com for some great write-ups - including this one. Also, TheBlemish.com has a well put together special edition link list of all the Chris/ Rihanna news.

UPDATE – According to TMZ some idiot has been emailing news websites photoshopped pics of Rihanna that show drawn on bruises. Some people are actually dense enough to think it’s real!

Kanye West Offers Support To Rihanna

Kanye_West_Z100_AmyG_SPL67318_024

Kanye West has attempted to communicate with the outside world in a way that neither required his LV branded MacBook Air, nor his CAPS key – the rapper has stepped forward and offered bold and touching words of support to Rihannawhom he refers to as like a ‘sister’ [Website – Amy Grindhouse].

There are too many shocking news bites to post in full again, but in summary Rihanna got a beating from her love interest Chris Brown. Brown is under investigation and is likely facing serious charges and jail time for allegedly hitting, biting and scratching his girlfriend.

West, upon hearing the reason for two of his fellow musicians entirely missing the Grammy Awards, offered the following words of support to Rihanna.

“I was completely devastated by the concept of what I heard,” the rapper said Tuesday on Ryan Seacrest’s KIIS-FM radio show. “I was completely devastated during the performance,” West said. He also said he knows Rihanna, better than Brown, 19, as he went on tour with the 20-year-old singer.

“Rihanna is so important to our culture … to pop music. I feel like she is the most important artist in music and has the most potential. Her taste level and her age … she has the potential to be the greatest artist of all time.”

“In that sense, I feel like that’s my baby sis,” he said. “I would do any and everything to help her in any situation.

West didn’t get into specifics, but he did say “All I want to say is, it’s so devastating. Just as a person, I don’t care how famous she is or even if she just worked at McDonald’s … [abuse] should never happen. It should never come to that place.”

Rihanna Says Acting Is Her Next Goal

Rihanna_AMA_2008_AmyG_SPL62921_099

Rihanna told OK! magazine that she would like to branch out from her mega-successful singing career into a new role as a movie star [Website – Amy Grindhouse].

From memory, Rih has had one particular cameo of note, in the 2006 sequel movie ‘Bring It On: All or Nothing’. I must admit that I watched the film and in-between poking myself in the eye every time Solo Orange or Hayden Pantyliner made an appearance on screen, I BLOODY enjoyed the film. It was so bad that the drunken tweenager in me actually thought it was rather good. Enjoyable as the film was, she was not. Her weave was the best thing about the cameo… However, that has not deterred the star as she says “I’d love to star in some movies, that’s my next goal. I love my music but I want to get into movies.”

I cannot decide which I find more irking… the fact that our beloved Alien Princess has so drastically overestimated her own talent, or that she seems to have no real clue of the work that would go into forging a credible acting career. I don’t think I have heard such a retarded overestimation of a singer’s own acting talent since ASShat Timberfake said he didn’t need acting lessons to star in blockbuster movies because he had acting lessons for the Mickey Mouse Club when he was 12.

Alien Princess, do us all a favour and at least play this for laughs. Ask the person who taught you to sing if they do acting classes too… that is all =)

Rihanna To Sing At Inauguration Charity Ball

Rihanna_AMA_2008_AmyG_SPL62921_099

People magazine is reporting that Rihanna will be performing at America’s Presidential Inauguration Charity Ball and the charity couldn’t be happier [Website – Amy Grindhouse].

The event supports Feeding America, “the nation’s largest hunger-relief organization”. Vicki Escarra, president and CEO of Feeding America, told People:

“We could not be happier that Rihanna will be performing at the Inauguration charity ball to benefit Feeding America. Rihanna’s involvement will help raise awareness about the prevalence of hunger in America and help bring more aid to the 36 million Americans who do not always know where they will find their next meal.”

Anyone else thanking their lucky stars that Alien Princess RihRih and her cockatoo hairdo are singing at the event and not trannylicious DIVA extraordinaire Sucha Farce Knowles. Sucha Farce would have stank up the place, with her DC3 reject ballads/ constipated voice. Don’t get me wrong, when Farce takes a laxative first, homegirl can SING… but we all know that she wouldn’t take her meds before hitting the stage and would then scream like she hadn’t taken a sh*t in about five years and ep-fit dance like her album sales depended on it.

GO ALIEN PRINCESS RIHRIH!!!
