Lloyd Banks Arrested For Assualt, Robbery

G-Unit's Lloyd Banks is being held by police in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, on assault and robbery charges after an incident involving a local promoter on Friday night. Authorities say that Banks and three others assaulted the promoter after the G-Unit member performed at Club NV in nearby Blandford late Friday night.

All four men were charged with forceful confinement, aggravated assault and robbery. The four made a video court appearance on Sunday afternoon (January 10) and are due to appear in court again early this week. They remained in police custody at press time(MTV News).

Mike Tyson Arrested & Charged For Incident at LAX

When i got the message about Mike Tyson being arrested, first thing came to mind was 'who ear did he bite'?


TMZ Reports:

"Mike Tyson FLOORED a paparazzo at LAX airport this evening! Reportedly, he was traveling with his 10 month old daughter when a pap got way too close to his face. Mike gave dude one good shot to the dome and blood was everywhere. Tyson was then arrested for battery. Here’s the lowdown:

We’re told Tyson was at a ticket counter at the United Airlines terminal when the incident occurred. The photographer got punched in the face, hit the ground, got up and began walking, leaving a trail of blood.

Someone at the scene tells TMZ … the photographer got very close to Tyson before the boxer struck him. Our guy on the scene says there’s blood on the ground and Mike was taken away in a squad car. We’re told an ambulance was dispatched at 4:39 PM to LAX — we’re told the paparazzo was transported to a local hospital.

If Tyson is prosecuted, given that he’s a former boxing champ, the charge could end up being assault with a deadly weapon."

UPDATE: Tyson’s rep says he was traveling with his 10-month old child when he was attacked by an overly aggressive paparazzi — adding the boxer acted in self-defense to protect his child.

Chris Brown Sentenced In Rihanna Case; Must Stay Away From Rihanna For 5 Years

Finally, the world can close the case and Chris Brown and move on with their life! Can he live?

A few minutes ago, a judge sentenced Chris Brown to five years' probation and six months' community labor for the beating of Rihanna and issued a stern admonition to the R&B singer.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg told Brown that he could be sent to state prison if he violated any terms of his sentence, including an order to stay away from Rihanna for the next five years.

Brown will serve his sentence in his home state — Virginia — and his community labor will be overseen by the chief of police in Richmond.

The judge said she wanted to ensure that Brown, 20, performs physical labor instead of community service, such as mentoring young people.

Rihanna did not attend Tuesday's sentencing.

At one point, Brown, who was accompanied by his mother, agreed to the terms of the sentence before Schnegg had finished going through them all.

The hearing had been planned for Thursday afternoon, but Brown's lawyer, Mark Geragos, asked to move up the singer's sentencing to Tuesday.

Chris Brown's Sentencing Get Delayed!

It must be nice to be uber famous, and have a little change. Evidently, that can buy you some time from getting sentenced.

Chris Brown was supposed to be sentenced today for the assualt case against Rihanna.

According to The Associated Press, Judge Patricia Schnegg has yet to hear back from officials in Virginia, where Brown is expected to serve out his sentence. Schnegg apparently wants to make sure Brown endures community labor work and not just community service. She made the announcement in court following a brief meeting with a prosecutor and Brown's attorney, Mark Geragos, according to the AP.

Under the guidelines of the plea reached last month, Brown will be under probation for five years, attend weekly counseling and perform community labor service.

Chris Brown's sentencing has been delayed until August 27.

Chris Brown Apologizes

Rihanna To Testify Against Chris Brown

I will be soooooo glad when this trial between Chris Brown and Rihanna comes and go. I mean-can they just go to court, already? Hell, by the time they go to court somebody else been done hit her!

Cyrus Langhorne:

Rihanna will reportedly testify against Chris Brown next month in their highly publicized domestic dispute case.

Brown's lawyer appeared in a California courtroom today (May 28).

The leak of a photo showing Rihanna's bloodied face is not relevant to the assault arrest of her former boyfriend, Chris Brown, a judge said. Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg described the leak of what appears to be a police evidence photo to the gossip site TMZ.com as "not a good thing" and possibly a crime, but she brushed aside suggestions by Brown's attorney that it impacted evidence to be presented against the R&B singer at a June 22 preliminary hearing. Brown did not attend the hearing. The 19 year-old has pleaded not guilty to assault and criminal threats charges stemming from a Feb. 8 incident in which Rihanna, 21, claimed he beat, punched and bit her as she rode in his rented Lamborghini.

Chris Brown Says He' Sorry!

Chris Brown, who was arrested a week ago in connection with the alleged beating of his girlfriend, Rihanna, released a statement Sunday expressing remorse over his actions, according to reports.

"Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired. I am seeking the counseling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones and I am committed, with God's help, to emerging a better person," the singer said in a statement issued through publicist Michael Sitrick.

"Much of what has been speculated or reported on blogs and-or reported in the media is wrong," Brown added. But he said he couldn't discuss that in detail until his case is resolved.
Brown surrendered to Los Angeles police on Feb. 8 and was released on $50,000 bail after being booked for investigation of making a criminal threat, a felony. He has not been charged by the district attorney's office, which is still investigating the case.

RadarOnline reported over the weekend that Brown held a "secret meeting" in Los Angeles Thursday night with his family and close friends to discuss the controversy surrounding his recent arrest.

A source exclusively tells the Web site that Brown's mother was among the people in attendance, and that he attempted to calm everyone down. The source says Brown told his family and friends that he and Rihanna have "officially broken up."

RadarOnline.com was also told exclusively that Brown does not think she will press charges against him. He also reportedly believes that he will pay fines instead of spending time in jail.
The source says Brown's final words to everyone were: "Protect me. I'm your homeboy." Click here for the story.

Meanwhile, a source close to Brown tells Usmagazine.com that the singer has not been updating his Facebook status with messages about Rihanna.

The New York Post reported last week that Brown changed his status to say "You'll begin to see her true colors. Believe it!" But the source tells Us: "Due to the dubious nature of the Facebook page, I don't know how anybody would believe this. Of course Chris did not comment himself and this is not his Facebook page.

"A little research shows that there are tons of Chris imposters on Facebook and none of them are Chris, including this one," continues the source.
