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 Award comes with a $250,000 donation for an environmental foundation or film project.

Shia LaBeouf has been all over NYC promoting Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and the rising star also scored the June cover of GQ. I have to say this is a sure jump from his days on Even Stevens via the Disney Channel. His acting has improved and his overall appeal is soaring.*~*~*
Very exciting to me is the upcoming Fraggle Rock movie! My brother and I loved the show growing up and I am psyched it will be on the big screen. It's time to "Dance your cares away/ Worry's for another day/ Let the music play/ Down at Fraggle Rock!" The Fraggles are back! According to Variety, the Weinsteins are teaming up with Lisa Henson of the Jim Henson Company to bring a live-action, half-human half-puppet Fraggle Rock extravaganza to the big screen.

Oscar nominated actor Joaquin Phoenix is coming out with an album. A music album. What!? It didn't work for Scarlett Johansson. It didn't work for Minnie Driver or Kevin Bacon or Billy Bob Thornton or well, can you think of anyone it has worked for?
Apparently, Phoenix got the calling after he learned to play the guitar for the Johnny Cash biopic Walk the Line.
