sanlee 49 Report post Posted April 28, 2008 Rihanna Honoured To Work With Maroon 5 R&B star RIHANNA was overjoyed when MAROON 5 approached her to lend her vocals to their track IF I NEVER SEE YOUR FACE AGAIN, because she is a huge fan of the pop band. The Umbrella hitmaker has just finished filming a video for the new version of the song - which originally featured on Maroon 5’s 2007 album It Won’t Be Soon Before Long. And she admits the duet was a big deal for her. She tells MTV.com, "I always wanted to work with Maroon 5. They’re one of my favourite bands. When they called me to do this record with them, I was so honoured." Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine insists the collaboration worked well because there was instant chemistry between the two artists. He adds, "The song was basically done, but we wanted to try something different, so we had her come in and do bits and pieces. "It came together so quick. The only other collaboration I had done before was with Kanye (West), and it was the same way. It sounds cheesy, but if the magic is there, if the chemistry is there, you don’t even have to think about it." Source: pr-inside Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

annabeast 24 Report post Posted February 9, 2009 What struck me in the story is how young they both are. The fame and the trappings is a lot for kids that young. I feel bad for Rihanna.

BobbyD 2 Report post Posted February 9, 2009 Chris Brown Could Do Nine Years in Prison Posted Feb 9th 2009 11:00AM by TMZ Staff So why, you ask, was Chris Brown booked for making criminal threats rather than domestic abuse, given the victim -- we're told Rihanna -- had "visible injuries"? Law enforcement sources tell us they typically book a suspect for the most serious crime they can be charged with -- it's then up to the D.A. to file any additional charges. Given there were allegedly visible injuries, the crime of making criminal threats is punishable by up to nine years in prison. Domestic abuse is four years.

So Jaded 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2009 aren't they both just 19 or 20 ?? Thats young ! I am a guidance counselor in a highschool and you would be shocked at the number of young girls that are abused by their boyfriends. Girls that do not fit any profile. It has nothing to do with race. I work in an affulent city/town, where the homes are worth millions, parents provide a comfortable lifestyle, there is even a few celebrities in town (not big names) and guess what it happens. It is a very sad situation. I think that abuse is sad period but when you see it in such young people you are just dumbstruck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
princess 1,712 Report post Posted February 9, 2009 HollyScoop Just a few hours after Chris Brown posted bail for alleged felony battery charges involving girlfriend Rihanna, the two were spotted together like nothing scandalous at all had gone down! The couple was reportedly at a Los Angeles gas station in Chris’ rented Lamborghini late last night. Rihanna waited in the car in the passenger seat and when Chris spotted some waiting photographers, he jumped in the driver’s seat and sped off, allegedly even running a red light to escape the paparazzi. A Grammy representative told the Insider that Rihanna’s face is slightly bruised from a “car accident.” After the performers were no-shows at last night’s Grammy awards, Grammy president Neil Portnow said, “Musicians are like everyone else; they have their trials and tribulations.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

e-lin 1 Report post Posted February 9, 2009 I work with teens too and I know there is a lot of abuse in dating relationships...I MENT they are both so young to have such fame and attention at a young age. To have the fame and the money at 20 is a lot to handle but regardless it was wrong and I hope he pays for it with jail or at least anger management therapy and probation and it doesn't get swept under the rug like a lot of things in LA with celebs. They seem to overlook a lot of things out there in the land of the fruits and nuts. They pay a fine and get on with their merry lives. Lets hope this time they do the right thing legally.

ElleDriver 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2009 Rihanna/Chris Brown -- No Weapon TMZ Law enforcement sources tell us even though the police report in the Chris Brown arrest refers to assault with a deadly weapon, there was no weapon involved in the alleged attack. The police report cites Penal Code Section 245 -- Assault with a Deadly Weapon. However, we're told there was no weapon involved. We had been hearing there was an umbrella in the car -- which would have been the most ironic thing ever -- but again... no weapon is alleged. By the way, a persons foot or other body part can be considered a deadly weapon depending on the circumstances. One law enforcement source who has been dead-on so far claims Rihanna suffered contusions and bite marks. Story developing... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

princess 1,712 Report post Posted February 9, 2009 Rihanna and Chris Brown on Feb. 7 Photo by: Lester Cohen / WireImage people.com Chris Brown & Rihanna: A Fairy-Tale Romance Gone Awry By Anne Marie Cruz Originally posted Monday February 09, 2009 01:10 PM EST Instead, the normally affectionate twosome were embroiled in a domestic violence drama that left Brown, 19, booked on felony criminal threats charges and posting $50,000 bail after turning himself in to the LAPD on Sunday at 6:34 p.m. PST. Sources say that Rihanna (real name: Robin Fenty), 20, was the victim in the alleged assault which occurred around 12:30 a.m. on Sunday. Responding to a 911 call about a disturbance, the LAPD took statements from a female with visible injuries, who named Brown as her attacker. Just hours after the incident, witnesses spotted Brown and Rihanna leaving the London Hotel together around 7:30 a.m. on Sunday. Later that evening, during the Grammy telecast for which both Brown and Rihanna were no-shows, bodyguards for the couple were seen moving their luggage out of the London. The ramifications of Brown's arrest? Already charged with making criminal threats – defined in part as a situation where the victim "is in fear for [his/her] life" – the R&B singer may face additional charges at the discretion of L.A.'s district attorney's office. To help him face the legal storm, Brown has hired attorney Mark Geragos, best known for defending convicted murderer Scott Peterson, Winona Ryder after a 2001 shoplifting arrest and Michael Jackson during his child molestation trial. An R&B Romance Turned Sour? Rumored to be a couple towards the end of 2007, the singers were first photographed at the Grammys on Feb. 10, 2008. Often coy about their yearlong relationship, the two consistently refused to talk about their romance during interviews. But the pair offered up other signs of their closeness, from matching star tattoos on their necks to holding hands and kissing at concerts. Even at the Clive Davis party at the Beverly Hills Hilton on Saturday night, Brown and Rihanna looked cozy and happy. But over recent weeks, they seemed to have hit a bumpy patch in their relationship. "They've been fighting a lot lately," a source told PEOPLE. "Lots of ups and downs. One second they're all lovey dovey and then they're fighting like crazy. They're both pretty stubborn." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
