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.

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

A source said: "She was really smitten. They'd been on nights out in London and really got on. But when she suggested he visit Paris he got cold feet."

Julianne Moore recently appeared on The View to chat about her participation in a new Valentine's Day initiative with Save the Children - an organization that provides tools and support to over 35,000 poverty-stricken children.
"In a land of such wealth and prosperity, it is shocking to see so many children and their families struggling to get by. In fact, in rural America, one in five children lives in poverty," said Moore.
Here's how it works: simply visit SaveTheChildren.org and make a donation between Friday, Feb. 1st and Thursday, Feb. 14th. From there you'll be able to print and email custom Valentine's Day cards to friends and snuggle buddies alike, and get the satisfaction of also helping a great organization.
Illustrators who created cards for the Save the Children Valentine's Day campaign include Ian Falconer (the "Olivia the Pig" series), Kevin Henkes ("Lily's Purple Plastic Purse"), Mo Willems ("Leonardo the Terrible Monster"), Brian Selznick ("The Invention of Hugo Cabret"), Marla Frazee ("A Couple of Boys Have Their Best Week Ever"), Rosemary Wells ("Max and Ruby," "Noisy Nora") and LeUyen Pham ("Freckleface Strawberry" by Julianne Moore).
