Plea deal reached in Chris Brown’s assault case
Chris Brown won’t hear the clink of a jail cell doors closing after all.
The R&B singer will not serve jail time for beating up former girlfriend Rihanna as part of a plea deal reached Monday, June 22, the Associated Press reports.
Brown will instead serve five months probation for the assault on the pop princess in February.
The 20-year-old was accused of an early morning attack on 21-year-old Rihanna before the Grammys; both were supposed to perform at the show but withdrew.
Brown was charged March 5 with two felonies — assault likely to cause great bodily harm and making criminal threats.
The plea deal announced just before a premlimary hearing in a Los Angeles court was set to begin.
Rihanna was prepared to testify on Monday.
She undoubtedly has a lot to say.
According to a search warrant previously posted on CNN.com, a text message from a woman Brown had sex with led to Brown’s vicious attack on Rihanna.
Note: Robyn F is reportedly Rihanna. Her full name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty.
“Robyn F. turned to face Brown and he punched her in the left eye with his right hand. He then drove away in the vehicle and continued to punch her in the face with his right hand while steering the vehicle with his left hand. The assault caused Robyn F.’s mouth to fill with blood and blood to splatter all over her clothing and the interior of the vehicle.
“Brown looked at Robyn F. and stated, ‘I’m going to beat the s—t out of you when we get home! You wait and see!’”
The detective said she then used her cell phone to call her personal assistant, Jennifer Rosales, who did not answer.
“Robyn F. pretended to talk to her and stated, ‘I’m on my way home. Make sure the police are there when I get there.’
“After Robyn F. faked the call, Brown looked at her and stated, ‘You just did the stupidest thing ever! Now I’m really going to kill you!
Does the plea deal surprise you? Comment below.

Perez Hilton calls will.i.am a liar and coward, calls Fergie worse
A clearly distraught Perez Hilton calls Black Eye Peas rapper will.i.am a coward in a video posted to his website, perezhilton.com.
The celebrity blogger says will.i.am’s manager, Polo Molina, clocked him at least three times during an altercation outside of a Toronto nite club.
The writer’s eye bled after the reported attack outside an after party Monday, June 22, following the MuchMusic Video Awards.
“I would have more respect for you if you hit me yourself,” a fuming Hilton says.
Hilton tweeted after the alleged assault that lead to Molina’s arrest by Toronto police.
In his video, Hilton, whose real name is Mario Lavandeira, calls will.i.am a liar for an earlier video claiming a fans had attacked Hilton.
See earlier Celebrity Worship entry here.
“will.i.am is a coward and a disgusting human being for lying,” Hilton says. He later calls will.i.am and Molina subhuman, thugs and worse, unprofessional.
Hilton, who also calls Fergie a fugly b-word during his statement, says that the Black Eye Peas tried to intimidate him earlier that evening. Someone in their group allegedly bumped Hilton.
Both men say a confrontation started after will.i.am confronted Hilton about statements Hilton made on his website about Black Eye Peas band members.
Hilton, who is gay, says he called will.i.am a f-word, the most hurtful word he could think of used against gay people, because he wanted to anger the rapper.
Regardless of what he said, Hilton says he didn’t deserve to be attacked. He says it is despicable that many have said the beating was justified.
“I like writing about other people’s drama, ” he says. “I don’t want drama in my own life.”
By the end of the video, Hilton is crying.
“I am a human being and no one deserve to be treated that way,” he says. “Violence is never the answer.”

Jon’s Father’s Day was with kids, minus Kate
Again and as usual, Usmagazine.com is all over the Jon & Kate Plus 8 story, whether there is one or not — and remember, BIG announcement has been promised by the TLC network when the show airs tonight.
According to Us, Kate has “gone away for a few days,” so Jon took the opportunity to talk to the press:
In an impromptu press conference Sunday afternoon, the Jon & Kate Plus 8 star signed autographs and answered questions with the dozens of people who stopped by to get a look at the family. Although he mainly told the group that they would have to watch the show for answers, when asked where his noticeably absent wife, Kate, was, he replied, “I have no idea.” He also told onlookers that he has not seen 23-year-old Deanna Hummel — the school teacher with whom Us Weekly first reported he was having a three-month affair — as much as he once had. “Not with the things that went down,” he said.
He wouldn’t talk about a possible divorce, which is what everybody’s thinking tonight’s BIG ANNOUNCEMENT is all about, or about his recent trip to New York City to look at apartments for rent at Trump Place.

Let’s not be cynical here, but maybe it’s a pension thing. A life insurance thing. OK, let’s go with romantic, soul-mate thing:
According to People.com, Ryan O’Neal proposed to Farrah Fawcett, and she said OK.
Though Farrah Fawcett is “fighting for her life,” Ryan O’Neal told Barbara Walters, “I’ve asked her to marry me, again, and she’s agreed,” ABC News reports.
O’Neal’s interview with Walters is set to air Friday, June 26, on 20/20.
“I used to ask her to marry me all the time,” O’Neal said for the interview. “But … it just got to be a joke, you know. We just joked about it.”
UPDATE: Entertainment Tonight is reporting that Fawcett, 62, is back in the hospital. ET also reports that Ryan O’Neal is trying to arrange for their son Redmond to temporarily leave jail to see his ailing mother for what may be one final visit.

Perez Hilton Tweets: ‘will.i.am beat me up”
UPDATE: Polo Molina, the manager of the Black Eye Peas, has turned himself in to Toronto Police on allegations he blacked celebrity blogger Perez Hilton’s eye, the Associated Press reported just before noon on Monday, June 22.
Being an opinionated loud-mouth apparently got Perez Hilton a smacked down.
In a very strange turn, the celebrity blogger used the social networking site Twitter to announce that he had been assaulted by Black Eye Peas rapper will.i.am.
“I was assaulted by Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas and his security guards. I am bleeding. Please, I need to file a police report. No joke,” Hilton wrote at about 3 a.m. Monday, June 22.
will.i.am in a response video, said that Hilton called him the F-word, a derogatory term used to offend gay people, at an after party in Toronto following the 2009 MuchMusic Video Awards.
In the video, will.i.am says he had confronted Hilton about Hilton’s nasty comments earlier that night to Black Eye Peas singer Fergie.
Hilton apparently told Fergie he didn’t like her music at an earlier after party.
“(Hilton) really disrespects her. He like digs in and just like hurts her feelings,” Will.I.Am says in the video. “It is one thing to tell your opinion and it is another thing to go overboard and be blatantly rude.”
At that second after party, will.i.am says he confronted Hilton about being rude to members of his group. An argument broke out.
“He said ‘that was very f**ed of you for coming at me like that’,” will.i.am says in the video, adding that the Hilton, who is gay, then called him the f-word.
Will.I.Am says fans went after Hilton.
“Tonight was a good night, but it ended kind of crazy,” will.i.am says. “On my way to London.”
Hilton apparently has a different version of the story.
“I spoke to my lawyer. I really need to talk to the authorities. Please come to the SoHo Met Hotel. Have called the police. Need them here,” he wrote an hour after the Twitter post about the alleged assault.
The Toronto police arrived a short time late, “Thank you. Please stop calling them,” Hilton tweeted.
“Thank u all from the bottom of my heart for ur concern. The police are investigating the assault now. I did the right thing by reporting it,” he wrote even later.
