NO COMMENT NO MORE

Now I am really tired of his Rihanna / Chris scenario. I reallly couldnt believe it all until I heard something from the accused or accuser themselves or even a picture of her. I couldnt possibly believe cute and innocent could have done such a horrific thing.

I dont like complaining, and I think I have given this story too much attention already.

So earlier this week, when I saw the battered pic of Rihanna, I was left speechless.

Being a victim or rather a survivor of an abusive relationship myself, I am officially shocked and left speechless....

NO NO NO..I am going home to burn the Chris Brown CD

Late absences of Brown, Rihanna cause shuffling

The last-minute absences of scheduled performers and nominees Chris Brown and Rihanna prompted some fast reshuffling at Sunday night's Grammy telecast, including a hastily put together ensemble performance by Justin Timberlake, Boyz II Men, Al Green and Keith Urban.
Brown, who was both a nominee and a scheduled performer, was being investigated for allegedly assaulting an unidentified woman the night before the show. He turned himself in to authorities as the show was being broadcast and was briefly held before posting $50,000 bail Sunday night, jail records showed.
Rihanna's whereabouts weren't immediately known.
"Rihanna is well," her publicist said in an e-mail to The Associated Press that didn't elaborate.
Brown and Rihanna are dating and were both multiple Grammy nominees.
Rihanna was set to be the second performer on Sunday night's CBS show, singing "Live Your Life" and "Disturbia."
Instead, the ensemble performance went on after an awkward, impromptu-sounding introduction by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, who had been scheduled to introduce Rihanna.
Brown was scheduled as the evening's fifth performer, singing "Forever," but his performance was scratched.
LL Cool J, who had been scheduled to introduce Brown, instead joined Jay Mohr in introducing Sugarland and Adele.
Recording Academy chairman Neil Portnow said he found out three hours before the telecast that Rihanna would not be appearing.
"There's that minute of anxiety, `OK, what are we going to do?', but that passes very quickly," he said backstage after the show.
"We're live television and the Grammys have a history of 50 years of putting on these great performances," Portnow said. "Things happen, sometimes things change and you have to be nimble and quick on your feet."
Portnow declined to comment on Brown's circumstances, but said he hoped the situation wouldn't overshadow the 51st annual Grammy Awards.
"Musicians are like everyone else, they have their trials and tribulations," he said. "It's not something I want to be judgmental about."

Grammy Awards 2009: Rihanna pulls out after Chris Brown arrest

Grammy Awards 2009: Rihanna pulls out after Chris Brown arrest

By Caroline Hedley in Los Angeles

The incident occurred after the couple left Clive Davis's star-studded pre-Grammys gala at LA's Beverly Hilton on Saturday night.
Los Angeles police responded to a 911 call reporting the disturbance at around 12.30am on Sunday morning. Mr Brown has already left the scene, but a woman with 'visible injuries' - who has not been named - identified him as her attacker.
A statement released by the LAPD said double Grammy-nominee Mr Brown and his alleged victim "became involved in an argument. After stopping his car, Brown and the woman got out and the argument escalated. The woman suffered visible injuries and identified Brown as her attacker."
Reports that Rihanna, 20, is the complainant have not been substantiated by police. Officer April Harding said: "The identity of the victim will not be released. Any victim who's involved in a domestic violence incident is entitled to confidentiality."
19-year-old performer Brown - who sold over two million copies of his debut album - surrendered to Los Angeles police on Sunday evening and was taken into custody. He was charged with making criminal threats and released after posting $50,000 (£33,800) bail. He may face further charges.
Representatives for Brown have not commented on the incident, while Rihanna's publicist stated that the singer had been involved in a traffic mishap but was 'fine'.
The Barbadian star was supposed to open the Grammys, which took place at the Staples Centre in LA last night. She was nominated in awards three categories, including Best Dance Recording for her hit single Disturbia. Brown was also scheduled to perform.
Veteran rock band U2 and Motown artist Al Green stepped in to prevent gaps in scheduling. The Irish group performed new single Get On Your Boots, while Green was joined by pop singers Justin Timberlake, Boys II Men and country star Keith Urban for a rendition of his 1970s hit, Let's Stay Together
