Brown Pleads Not Guilty

6 April 2009 6:30 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Chris Brown has pleaded not guilty to two felony charges stemming from his alleged fight with ex-girlfriend Rihanna in February.

The R&B star showed up at Los Angeles County Court on Monday afternoon with his lawyer, Mark Geragos, and dressed all in black.

He stood silent and stoic as Geragos quickly discussed the case with the judge, who set a preliminary hearing for 29 April.

Brown, who has also acted in films such as This Christmas, was charged with two felonies - assault and making criminal threats.

Outside court, Rihanna's attorney, Donald Etra, reiterated promises that his client will do "everything that the law requires her to do," adding, "She would be pleased if this was over quickly."

Rihanna was not at the arraignment hearing; she was holidaying in Barbados.

Etra went on to explain that the delay between the two hearings "gives the parties the opportunity to discuss the case" and reach an agreement with prosecutors "without a preliminary hearing and without a trial". »

Brown Withdraws Himself As Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Nominee

11 March 2009 12:15 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Shamed R&B singer Chris Brown has withdrawn his name from the upcoming Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards as a result of the "controversy" surrounding his recent fight with girlfriend Rihanna.

The This Christmas star is facing two felony charges relating to an altercation with Rihanna after a Grammys party last month.

Brown's career has taken a serious hit after it emerged the incident left the Umbrella hitmaker reportedly needing medical treatment for her injuries - and now the 19-year-old has decided to remove his name from contention at the 28 March ceremony.

He was nominated for two awards: Favorite Male Singer and Favorite Song for Kiss Kiss - in which he was up against Rihanna's Don't Stop The Music.

But Brown has decided to step back from the prizegiving in a bid to quell the intense interest in his personal troubles - although he promises fans he will soon speak out to give his side of the story.

A statement from his representative says, "Chris very much appreciates the support of his fans and the honour they have paid him in the way of nominations for Favorite Male Singer and Favorite Song.

"Unfortunately, the controversy surrounding the incident last month has shifted the focus from the music to whether he should be allowed to be among those nominated.

"While Chris would like to speak to his fans directly about this and other issues, pending legal proceedings preclude his doing so at this time. Once the matter before him has been resolved, he intends to do so."

The move comes just days after bosses at Nickelodeon owners MTV Networks and Viacom International vowed to keep his name in the running - despite being presented with an online petition demanding Brown's removal from the awards show.

The Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards are voted for by the TV channel's young viewers. »
