Chris Brown Has Moved On….

Chris Brown is moving on.
The R&B singer has started dating again since his troubled relationship with pop chanteuseRihanna ended last month, and it appears he has gotten back together with another ex-girlfriend.
Brown’s new/old lady is University of Mary Washington student Erica Jackson. “[Chris and Erica] met inVirginia, where he’s from,” a source close to the singer says. “They dated back in the day and reconnected a few weeks ago when Chris was in town. They’ve been spending a lot of time together, but things only really heated up over the last two weeks.”
And while Jackson is “no Rihanna,” the general consensus among his friends and family is that the new girl is going to be good for him in the long run. “[Erica] has a good head on her shoulders; she’s solid,” says our insider. Chris and his new gal pal were spotted leaving a Sunset Blvd. tattoo parlor on Saturday afternoon.

Black News: Chris Brown Cops a Plea
…"Not Guilty, your honor." Thats what Chris Brown hushed quietly this afternoon during the arraignment hearing, at the Los Angeles Superior Courthouse regarding two felony accounts stemming from his alleged February 8 assault against pop star, Rihanna.
Brown kept his hands clasped in front of him and his lips shut in silence, Brown stood by quietly as his lawyer Mark Geragos addressed the judge. Brown pled not guilty on the two accounts of assault and making criminal threats. He spoke to the judge directly, softly muttering his plea.
The singer was expected to plead not guilty. While her lawyer Donald Etra was present, and addressed reporters outside the courthouse after the hearing, Rihanna was not present. The two had seemed to reconcile late Februrary following the incident, however recently the two have seperated with Rihanna returing to her home of Barbados, and Brown has been in Virginia with family.
If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of four years and eight months in prison. The next hearing in the case is scheduled for April 29.
Rihanna’s Daddy Has Choice Words for Chris Brown

Rih-Rih Gets in a Car Accident
After some late night partying, Rihanna’s driver got into a fender bender. Fortunately, no one was hurt, and no, they were not trying to run over Chris Brown.

Rihanna Now Says She’s Gonna Testify?
I am guessing that the final break up between Chris and Rihanna was not on good terms, because at first Rihanna wasn’t going to testify against him but now she is. WTF??? According to one of Rih Rih’s attorney’s, "She will do everything that the law requires her to do” . Now to me this is definitely some BS because what made her change her ways all of a sudden, could it be some built up animosity or maybe she just wants to look good in the public eye. Either way I am not with it.

Rihanna Are you Listening? This is why we got mad at you!
Slain attorney Chiquita Tate was such a believer in the legal system that she had a tattoo of Lady Justice on her back, college friend T. J. Crawford recalled.

Chiquita Tate was in the midde of a high-profile murder trial when she was stabbed to death in her law office.
"She just had an attachment to justice and doing what’s right by people. She was always very serious about that," said Crawford, a teacher and community organizer in Chicago, Illinois.
But Tate, described by colleagues as a tenacious defense attorney who fought for her clients, could not save herself.
Family members and friends in Chicago; Atlanta, Georgia, and Tate’s adopted home — tiny Baker, Louisiana — are reeling from the grisly details of Tate’s slaying, and police say it was at the hands of her husband, Greg Harris. They had been married about 14½ months.
Harris, 37, is in custody, accused of stabbing Tate to death. He is charged with second-degree murder and the illegal use of a dangerous weapon. A judge last week set his bond at $500,000.
In a phone interview with CNN, Harris’ attorney, Lewis Unglesby, said police have the wrong man.
"Greg Harris by all accounts … is innocent. I don’t know anybody that thinks he did it, except the police," Uglesby said. "There’s nothing in his background. He has cooperated completely with the police; he’s signed everything they’ve asked him to sign. He’s let them search his house, his car."
Tate, 34, had started her own law firm in downtown Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and was doing well, family and acquaintances said.
"She was up and coming," said Cpl. L’Jean McKneely, a police spokesman in Baton Rouge.
Lady Drama: Chris and Rihanna Drama Part 50
Although Chris and Rihanna have broken up the rumors keep coming & they seem to be getting worse. It is now being said that the two made a sex tape and to make matters worse the tape is getting ready to leak. According to a close source,
“They’ve had tons of crazy nights in bed, and Chris has recorded many of them…They both have very kinky sides.” It’s also claimed that Rihanna enjoys role-playing and dressing up as a dominatrix and that she is allegedly worried Chris could put the footage out there for the world to see. The source went on to say: “Rihanna has no issues with her sexuality. But she’d be mortified if her friends and family found this out! “This whole beating incident is terribly humiliating for her. She’s already traumatized and will do anything to make it all go away as quickly as possible.“The last thing in the world Rihanna wants is to see herself in the sex videos all over the Internet! She’s an intensely private person.”
I really hope this isn’t true b/c personally I don’t want to see Chris taking anyone down. Plus, why do these couples keep making these sex tapes like they aren’t going to be released? Come one now, they should have learned from Kim K., Paris Hilton, Pam Anderson, and the list goes on.
Whose at Fault in Domestic Violence Situations?

By Hugh V. Collins
Based on the article posted earlier, "Boston Teens state Rihanna is at Fault for Assault", I was compelled to add my perspective.
I am a Boston resident and while I’m not surprised at how some "teens" may think, it is surprising and alarming that they think Rihanna is responsible for her demise. I see teenagers running the streets of the city daily and I tell you, sometimes I just have to shake my head. Why do I feel like you see the same behaviors and think the same thing?
One may say a person’s behavior is a direct indication and response to what medicine they receive at home. I use the term medicine because it is something someone usually takes to heal a symptom and some of these kids haven’t been getting the right medicine. Domestic violence is common. Whoever tells you domestic violence it is not common is living under a rock. The thought process of the teenagers surveyed, while not unstable, may have answered in honesty based on their exposure to what happens in their home, and how they perceive the behavior of the participants of the parties involved - the abuser and the abused.
