Drake Once Again Denies Romance With Rihanna
Rap sensation Drake has laughed off reports of a romance with single singer Rihanna – insisting their collaboration is strictly professional. Rumors about their relationship came when they were spotted together in New York, just after the termination of relations Rihanna and Chris Brown.
But Drake – real name Aubrey Graham – insists they’ve been spending time together, while he tries to convince the Umbrella hitmaker to record a duet for his next album. He tells the New York Post,
“We’re just really good friends. We have great conversations about music, and we’re trying to figure out the perfect song we can collaborate on for my album. I’ve only worked with one other female before (Mary J Blige). I hope that Rihanna is onboard, and I’m also looking to work with Sade.”

Sugababes – “She’s Not Going To Be The Fourth Sugababe”
Sugababes have dashed hopes of a superstar recruit to the band, saying Rihanna won’t be joining the group after all. Participant group Amell Berraba (Amelle Berrabah) admitted that the girls were stunned by reports that the R & B star Rihanna is now the best friend of the band. Internet was full of rumors that Rihanna helps choose songs for their forthcoming album, and may even join them soon.
Amelle said:
“We have never actually met Rihanna. Everyone thinks we are best friends, but we don’t know her at all. Keisha was talking to someone and mentioned that Rihanna had been recording with Stargate, who had just finished working with us. Stargate did play her some of our songs and she loved them apparently, which is great, but that’s it. We don’t know her at all. So she is not going to be the fourth Sugababe. We are quite happy as we are, thanks.”

Chris Brown On Larry King – Preview
WATCH A PREVIEW HERE
R&B singer Chris Brown spoke exclusively with CNN about his arrest and sentence for assaulting Rihanna. You can watch the full interview on Larry King Live, Wednesday August 2nd at 9 p.m. ET.
LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) — Pop star Chris Brown has admitted guilt and apologized for assaulting his then-girlfriend Rihanna in February, but he does not remember hitting the singer, he told CNN’s Larry King.
Looking at police reports about the incident makes him feel like he’s reading about a stranger, Brown said in his first television interview since the arrest.
“I’m in shock, because, first of all, that’s not who I am as a person, and that’s not who I promise I want to be,” he said in an exclusive interview that airs Wednesday night.
“I just don’t know what to think. I’m just like, wow,” Brown said. “It’s crazy to me.”
Brown, 20, said he still loves singer Rihanna, whose full name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty.
But, he added, it is tough for him to look at the photo showing Rihanna’s battered face, the one image that might haunt and define him forever.
“When I look at it now, it’s just like, wow, like, I can’t believe that that actually happened,” Brown said.
He now has to keep his distance from Rihanna, because of a judge’s restraining order.
“We have to be like 10 yards away from each other,” Brown said.
The February argument began over an incident at a Beverly Hills party, according to Brown’s probation report.
An earlier, sworn statement by Los Angeles Police detective DeShon Andrews said the incident began when Rihanna found a text message on Brown’s cell phone from “a woman who Brown had a previous sexual relationship with.”
The pair argued while in a sports car driven by Brown, the police statement said.
It went on to describe the assault in great detail, saying Brown punched Rihanna — identified in the statement as Robyn F. — numerous times and put her in a head lock, restricting her breathing and causing her to start to lose consciousness.
He threatened to beat her and kill her, according to the statement, and he bit her ear and her fingers.
The detective said Brown sent a text message nine days later, apologizing.
Rihanna’s injuries included cuts and bruises inflicted by a large ring on Brown’s right hand, which he used to punch her, the probation report said.
Brown pleaded guilty to felony assault on June 22. A plea deal kept him out of jail. A second felony charge, making criminal threats, was dropped. He was sentenced to five years probation and six months of community labor.
“It means he walks the straight and narrow for five years,” said Mark Geragos, Brown’s attorney.
“I’ve grown to love this kid like a son or a nephew. I have a high degree of confidence — I’ll say it now so that you can play it back if he ever does anything — but a high degree of confidence that he’s not going to do anything like this in the future.”
Brown called the sentence fair and agreed that everything comes with consequences.
“They want me to pick up trash, remove graffiti,” he said. “I’m a hard worker, it’s something I’m willing to do.”
Why did it happen? How did it happen?
Those are questions Brown and his mother, Joyce Hawkins, have been asking.
“Chris has never, ever been a violent person, ever,” Hawkins said.
However, CNN obtained a probation report for Brown last week that said he and Rihanna were involved in at least two other domestic violence incidents before the February attack for which Brown was sentenced.
“The first incident occurred in Europe about three months before the present offense,” the report said.
“The victim [Rihanna] and the defendant [Brown] were involved in a verbal dispute and the victim [Rihanna] slapped the defendant [Brown]. He responded by shoving her into a wall.”
Another incident happened in January, three weeks before the Hollywood incident, when Brown and Rihanna were visiting her home country of Barbados, the report said.
“The defendant [Brown] and the victim [Rihanna] were visiting Barbados and were driving a Range Rover loaned to them by a local dealership,” the investigator wrote. “They had an argument inside the car. The defendant [Brown] exited and broke the front driver and passenger side windows of the car.”
Brown’s mother remembers being shocked and upset when he came to her after the attack in February and told her about it.
She said her husband was abusive — and Brown knew it. “I used to be scared to go to bed,” the pop star said.
Brown said he is not blaming that history for the attack on Rihanna. But, he added, nobody taught him how to control his emotions and anger.
Rihanna calls Brown’s mother “Mom.” The two have spoken and seen each other periodically since the incident. The court order that prevents her son from seeing Rihanna does not extend to Hawkins.
“I let her know that I was very, very baffled, what had happened and apologized for my son, along with I’m so sorry what happened to you,” Hawkins said.
“And I didn’t know what — I didn’t know what else to say, and I gave her a hug and she hugged me as well.” Hawkins started sobbing at this point in the interview.
The singer has not seen Rihanna for a couple of months, and said the separation has been difficult, especially when it comes to her dating others.

“I definitely would be affected by it, but at the end of the day, I mean, we’re not together, so if she’s happy, I’m cool.”
But they will always be friends, Brown said.

Fefe Dobson – “Rihanna Copying Me Get’s A Little Much”
Rihanna did not go all rocker chick until her ‘Good Girl Gone Bad’ album. She dyed her hair black, cut it into a short and edgy hairstyle and had star tattoos placed behind her neck and ears. Due to these sudden changes, many folk had realised that overnight, Rihanna had completely transformed herself into Canadian pop rocker Fefe Dobson. Coincidentally, Fefe was also once signed to Rihanna’s current label Def Jam before they mutually split due to creative differences. Rihanna’s sudden transformation was quite dramatic but she insists it was all her idea. Somewhere down the line I feel she had some help especially since her image went from mini Beyonce to edgy punk rocker chick. Anyway, Fefe was asked about Rihanna swagger jacking her style and the 24-year-old made it known she was very aware of it.
“She [Rihanna] is supposedly a fan of mine. I try to take it as a compliment. It gets a little much when she starts getting the same tattoos as me but overall I just want people to separate the image and listen to the music” ~ Fefe Dobson…
Fefe WHO??????

Brown: My Lawyer Wouldn’t Let Me Plead Guilty + Chris and Rihanna,History of Violence
Chris Brown met with probation officials in late June, and he told them he was “ashamed and embarrassed” over the Rihanna beating.
In documents released today by the court, Brown met at the law office of his attorney, Mark Geragos. Brown’s mom and probation officers were also present.
During the meeting, Brown said he wanted to plead guilty immediately, but his attorney would not let him. Brown says he also wanted to undergo counseling before he started his probation but Geragos wouldn’t let him.
Brown said when he was growing up he saw violence in his own household and didn’t want to “carry on that cycle.”
Brown told the probation people he wanted to attend domestic violence counseling and wanted to “do it right.”
And there’s this… Brown says he has already apologized to Rihanna “on a few different occasions.” He added he was “uncertain” of the status of their relationship. Note, this interview was June 26, 2009, more than 4 months after the beating.

The court file in the Chris Brown case confirms the story we’ve told for months — that Rihanna complained this was not the first time there was violence in the relationship.
According to court docs, there were two previous incidents. The first occurred in Europe three months before the February 8 attack. Rihanna and Brown got into a verbal dispute and she slapped him. According to the report, he reacted by shoving her into a wall.
The second incident occurred approximately 3 weeks prior to the February attack. Brown and Rihanna were in Barbados and were driving a Range Rover. They argued, and Brown got out of the car, and allegedly broke the front driver and passenger side windows.

Rihanna Attack — The Official Blow-by-Blow
The court has released the officer’s report from the night Chris Brown beat up Rihanna — describing the entire incident in graphic detail.
According to the report, cops responded to a “screaming woman” — and when they arrived, they noticed a “very upset and crying” Rihanna seated in the driver’s seat of a parked vehicle.
Rihanna told the officer she got into an argument with Chris Brown over something that had occurred at an event they were at earlier in the evening.
“The victim said she became enraged and slammed both of her fists against the dashboard on the passenger side of the car they were in. She reported that the defendant then pulled the vehicle over and reached over her with his right hand. He opened the car door and tried to force the victim out.”
According to the report, Brown was unable to shove Rihanna out of the car because she was wearing a seatbelt.
The report continues, “When he could not force her to exit, he took his right hand and shoved her head against the passenger window of the car. ”
“The victim then faced the defendant and he punched her in the left eye with his right hand. He then continued driving.”
“As he drove, he continued to punch the victim in the face with his right hand while steering the vehicle with his left hand.”
Rihanna told cops the “assault caused her mouth to fill with blood and blood to splatter over her clothing and the inside of the car.”
Rihanna told cops after Brown “stopped his first assault .. she looked in the mirror and saw her eye beginning to swell.
[Brown] looked at [Rihanna] and said ‘I’m going to beat the shit out of you when we get home! You wait and see!’”
Rihanna told police she tried to call her personal assistant, but she didn’t pick up — but Rihanna says she “pretended to talk, saying, ‘I’m on my way home. Make sure the cops are there when I get there.’”
Rihanna says she pulled the act “because she did not want to get beat anymore.”
But after Rihanna’s fake phone conversation, she claims Brown “looked at [Rihanna] and said, “You just did the stupidest thing ever! Now I’m really going to kill you!”
Rihanna told cops that Brown unleashed a second wave of punches, “during which time [Rihanna] interlocked her fingers behind her head and brought her elbows forward to protect her face.” He continued to punch her on her left arm, which caused a contusion on her left tricep.
At that point Rihanna tried texting her assistant. Brown threw the phone out of the car, stopped the vehicle and Rihanna then tried opening her door to get out, but Brown sped off and the door shut with Rihanna inside.
Brown placed Rihanna in a headlock while he drove, then bit her on her left ear. The car eventually stopped and Rihanna took the keys out of the ignition, and Brown began to punch her again in the face and arms. He placed her in a headlock and started applying pressure to her carotid artery. She couldn’t breathe and began to lose consciousness. She tried freeing herself, and Brown bit her left ring and middle fingers and then released her.
Rihanna took off her shoe and tried breaking the passenger window, and he continued to punch her.
Eventually, Brown got out of the car. Rihanna opened the door and continued screaming. Brown began punching her again. He got back in the car and screamed “Where are my f***ing keys?” He got out, looked for the keys in vain, and when he could not find them removed several CDs and walked away.
Officers were called and observed numerous contusions and abrasions to Rihanna’s face and forehead, as well as bruising on her left arm. There were other injuries as well.
Investigators determined Brown was wearing a large ring on his right hand which caused several of Rihanna’s injuries.
