Chris Brown pleaded not guilty to threatening and assaulting his girlfriend, fellow music superstar Rihanna.

Los Angeles police put the brakes on a speedy getaway by Rihanna from a trendy Hollywood nightclub recently.

Rihanna’s lawyer said the singer would testify against Chris Brown if called as a witness in her boyfriend’s assault case.

Singer Chris Brown appeared in a Los Angeles court, hours after he was charged with an alleged attack on his girlfriend Rihanna.

Chris Brown’s ad campaign with Wrigley was suspended until his criminal case is resolved, and reports surfaced that Rihanna, his longtime girlfriend and a fellow no-show at the Grammy Awards, was the woman who accused him of assault.

R&B star Rihanna has a new honour to add to a string of hit singles – the title of honorary cultural ambassador for her native Caribbean island of Barbados.
