Rihanna Rumored Refusing to Press Charges Against Chris Brown
Prosecutors are working hard to collect enough evidence in a bid to press charges against Chris Brown for allegedly attacking Rihanna though the female singer refuses to testify against him.
Barbadian songbird Rihanna won't press charges against Chris Brown for allegedly beating her in Los Angeles on February 8, The Sun claims in a report on its site. The 21-year-old R 'n' B performer also is refusing to cooperate with the authorities who are conducting an intensive investigation against Chris.
"However detectives are still building their case based on what she originally told them and accounts of witnesses," the police source continues. "If the DA decides they have enough evidence, they can proceed without Rihanna's testimony."
In related news, the Daily Telegraph claims on its site that since California law allows prosecutors to charge an individual with domestic violence, even if the couple reunites, prosecutors in Los Angeles will be asked to decide if the case against Chris is strong enough to proceed without Rihanna's testimony. A file on the case, including Rihanna's original statement to police as well as witness accounts, will all be handed to the Los Angeles County District Attorney later this week.
Chris' arraignment, meanwhile, has been scheduled for Thursday, March 5.

Megan Hauserman claims Sharon went ballistic during a taping, punching and grabbing her by the hair and refusing to let go, and scratching her to boot during a taping of a Charm School Reunion.

County Superior Court, Megan is suing Sharon for battery, negligence and infliction of emotional distress. Guess she is running low on cash and needs money to buy more cheap bikinis or more stupid outfits for her ugly dog.

Tennis player Serena Williams double-checks her shoelaces before a game ever since a match loss in 2007 that she attributes to her shoelaces being tied incorrectly. "I didn't tie my laces right, and I didn't bounce the ball five times and I didn't bring my shower sandals to the court with me," Williams said after the match, according to the British Sunday Express. "I didn't have my extra dress. I just knew fate. It wasn't going to happen." Others may have suggested the No 7 seed wasn't playing to the best of her ability.
