The media will not be allowed to enter the courtroom when singer Rihanna testifies against R&B star Chris Brown today. The preliminary hearing will be closed to the public when the celebrities turn out for the trial in Los Angeles Superior Court. The case revolves around Brown’s felony charges of assault after an alleged domestic abuse incident involving Rihanna in February. Brown’s attorney initially tried to postpone the hearing hoping to gather more information before the trial went ahead. A judge denied the request last week. Twenty-year-old Brown pleaded not guilty to felony charges of assault and making criminal threats. Shortly after the February 8th incident, a photo of a bruised and battered reported to be Rihanna surfaced on the Internet. Brown’s attorney had hoped to delay today’s hearing while he found out more about who leaked the picture.
R&B songstress Keri Hilson is sparking rumors of an upcoming Chris Brown music collaboration. Keri said singer Brown contacted her early last week to ask for her help from inside the studio. Hilson says if she does decide to work with Brown, it will be her first project as a songwriter in quite some time. The two have worked together before. They recorded the duet “Superhuman” and Hilson wrote a song for Brown’s debut album. All music aside, Hilson calls the alleged beating scandal between Brown and Barbados-born singer Rihanna “unfortunate.” She went on to say that, despite Brown being charged with felony assault against Rihanna, quote, “If you’ve ever had a fan base, you’re really only one song away from appeasing that fan base.”
