The Los Angeles police department (LAPD) has confirmed it will open an enquiry into how the picture of Brown’s alleged victim was leaked to the media.

“There was another set taken at the hospital where the swelling is even worse,” the source added.

The law enforcement inside source is also quoted as claiming the fight began when Rihanna intercepted a text message to Brown’s mobile phone from another woman.

The Disturbia star is said to have told police that this wasn’t the first time Brown had been physically abusive towards her, but according to the police source, “she may have thrown the first punch” on this occasion.

Oh Dear, Oh Dear, Previous Alleged ‘Assaults’ On Rihanna By Chris Brown Got LA Police On The Hunt!

Los Angeles police are reportedly investigating the possibility of a history of heated rows between RIHANNA and CHRIS BROWN in the wake of the R&B star’s alleged attack on his girlfriend at the weekend.

The probe comes as it was revealed by police sources that the Umbrella hitmaker was forced to wear an eye patch last year (08), after suffering an alleged scratched cornea.
Brown was arrested on Sunday (08Feb09) and charged with making criminal threats after a heated exchange in Los Angeles that morning, hours before he and Rihanna were due to attend the Grammy Awards.
Reports later suggested the woman involved was his girlfriend, who was allegedly hospitalised after the fight – although no official confirmation as to the female’s identity is yet to be declared.
And now officials are set to look into whether Brown caused the star’s previous cornea injury, reports Britain’s The Sun newspaper.
A police source tells the publication, “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.”
The tabloid alleges that the 20-year-old was reluctant to file a police complaint after the weekend’s incident – but was persuaded to by her mum Monica.
And cops are now reportedly talking to those close to Rihanna about an alleged history of injuries.
The source contines, “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.”

Rihanna Mistaken For Prince! Oh Dear

Whether true or not I found this piece humourous.

RIhanna was left red-faced during a recent trip to the UK — after being mistaken for Prince.

The Umbrella hitmaker, 20, was in London late September when she was mistaken for the Purple Rain rocker.

Fans approached the short-haired star, according to reports, and were left shocked when they discovered he was a she.

A source says, “Some fans screamed out, ‘Prince!’ when they saw her.

“But when they got close enough to ask for an autograph, they realized he was a she.”

Now you dun know I prefer Rihanna with long hair. What is this thing with black women chopping off their hair!!!?  Good grief man. On the hand hands those fans need some spectacles.

Rihanna Exposes Barbados Laid Back Attitude To Legal Drinking

“I’d go out and get drunk, but that’s what teenage girls do in Barbados,” the 19-year-old told the tabloid. “The country’s pretty laid-back about the legal age for drinking. But I never went too over the top. I wasn’t exactly in Amy Winehouse mode. I’d seen what alcohol and drugs had done to my dad and I wasn’t going to follow in his footsteps. I knew my limits when I was a kid and I still do.”

“I might have a few drinks, but I don’t get tipsy too easily. I don’t ever get to the point where I want to throw up, can’t stand up straight or say things I’m likely to regret in the morning,” she said. Source – The Mail On Sunday.

Man, this reminds me of growing up and my father giving us 4 sibilings a shot of rum as he put it “to kill de worms”. LOLLLLLLLL. Thankfully no one out turn out to be a drunkard or a rummie!!! LOLLLLLLLLLL.

In all seriousness though, I can’t wait for the day when the authorities charged adults for sending young ones to the shop to buy their favourite liquor, charge shopkeepers for such and crackdown on excessive drinking by teenagers at fetes/parties. At least the government here regulates the alcoholic industry but it needs to do more.

Is Celebrity Life Taking A Toll On Rihanna?

The above photo from People.com website has a story on Rihanna thoughts on love. For instance when questioned on what does love mean to [her], her replied was

 “I am tired of being depressed and I’m exhausted sometimes, so I need a picker-upper.” 

I can understand exhausted but DEPRESSED!! What do you have to be depressed about? Does this have anything to do with you being homesick? That I can understand. If not woman get a gripe on yourself. Using love um friendship can be a great antidote. However if it is more than friendship, sex is definetly not your antidote.

And what’s dis thing about a new tatoo. Are you planning on scaring yourself for life?.
