Though the story that Chris Brown may have assaulted Rihanna over the weekend is dispiriting enough, in Hollywood, things can always get worse. Now, news is breaking about a new allegation.

Now, though, TMZ is reporting that an investigation is ongoing to charge Brown with assault with a deadly weapon-though the weapon in question is unknown.

Rihanna went to Cedars Sinai sporting facial bruises, while Brown fled the scene, only to eventually turn himself in (under the charge of making "criminal threats") before posting bail.

I have a new found respect for Rihanna since I found out her compassion in helping patients with leukemia, so this is even more upsetting.

Kate Hudson has rekindled her romance with ex Owen Wilson, it has been claimed.

The actress - who is divorced from Black Crowes rocker Chris Robinson - has dated the Marley & Me actor on and off since 2006.

And rumors the pair are back together are now rife - after Kate was seen visiting Owen's Malibu home several times in the past two weeks.

I say doubtful, the two are just good friends, but we'll see.

I'm sure you've already heard all the Grammy news. I'm not going to rehash, but I did want to mention one winner in particular.

The former Vice-President became only the 9th person in history to sweep all four major entertainment categories - Oscar, Tony, Emmy, and Grammy - by claiming a Grammy last night for Best Spoken Word Album for the audio book of An Inconvenient Truth.

Leonardo DiCaprio is in Germany today for the Berlin International Film Festival and will be receiving the "International Green Film Award". The honor, presented by BMW by Mikhail Gorbachev, is akin to a "Green Oscar," offering a platform for environmental activists and dedicated artists to draw attention as well as strengthen and encourage the public conscience for environmental issues. The Award comes with a $250,000 donation for an environmental foundation or film project.
