- Police: Chris Brown Punched Rihanna, Threatened to Kill Her A detective's notes from the scene of the alleged Rihanna assault reveal disturbing details about what happened between the singer and her boyfriend Chris Brown in the early hours of Feb. 8.
According to a search warrant in the case, Rihanna, 21, read a three-page text message from a woman on Brown's phone, which led to an argument. Brown – who was charged with two felonies Thursday – allegedly tried to force his girlfriend out of the Lamborghini, and hit her head against the passenger window.
Rihanna then "turned to face Brown and he punched her in the left eye with his right hand," says the paperwork. "He then drove away in the vehicle and continued to punch her in the face with his right hand while steering the vehicle with his left hand."
According to the detective's notes taken by Det. De Shon Andrew, blood filled Rihanna's mouth. Brown, 19, allegedly told her, "I'm going to beat the s--- out of you when we get home. You wait and see!" Rihanna called her assistant and left a message saying, "I am on my way home. Make sure the cops are there when I get there." The police notes say that prompted Brown to reply: "You just did the stupidest thing ever. Now I'm really going to kill you."
The report also says that Brown bit Rihanna and put her in a headlock, and that she almost lost consciousness.
"Brown resumed punching [Rihanna] and she interlocked her fingers behind her head and brought her elbows forward to protect her face," according to the notes. "She then bent over at the waist, placing her elbows and face near her lap in attempt to protect her face and head from the barrage of punches being levied upon her by Brown."
Eventually, Rihanna began screaming for help and Brown got out of the car, according to the notes. A nearby resident heard the calls for help and called 911.
Almost three weeks after the incident, the couple reunited in Miami Beach last week.
FOX 11 in Los Angeles was first to report on the detective's notes.

- Chris Brown Case Postponed For One Month
Shortly after Chris Brown showed up in court to face two felony charges resulting from his alleged beating of girlfriend Rihanna, further proceedings have now been postponed until April 6.
Clad in a gray suit with a light gray tie and vest, Brown stood aside his attorney, Mark Geragos, letting his legal eagle do all of the talking.
Meanwhile, court commissioner Kristi Loustau instilled a “Level 1” protective order for Rihanna, telling Brown, “You are not to annoy, harass, molest or use any form of violence against anyone.”
Once the case gets back underway a month from now, Brown faces charges of assault by means likely to create great bodily injury and criminal threats - which could lead to 4 years and 8 months in state prison.

- Rihanna Leaves Barbados, to Build Case Against Chris Brown Rihanna is no longer in Barbados, a source tells E! News. Already leaving her hometown where she's been spending time with family and friends soon after she was involved in an alleged fight with Chris Brown on February 8, the songstress currently has no scheduled public appearances and "is staying under the radar," E! News claims further.
In related news, it has been reported that Rihanna is torn over her parents' pleas to build case against Chris. Though she's been told by her family not to worry about the consequences of a jail term on Chris' career, still Rihanna finds it hard to cooperate with the police.
"I mean, damn, her eye's black and the sides of her face are all f----d up, but she keeps saying she still loves him," a friend of the singer reportedly tells US Weekly. The friend, moreover, informs that Rihanna has visited a doctor on Friday, February 13 "because of the endless headaches she's been having since Chris hit her." And "the doctors were concerned about the contusions on the sides of her head," the friend adds. "She hums sometimes, but she's more quiet than I've ever seen her."
Personal life aside, Chris Brown's alleged attack on Rihanna is claimed to have affected the sales of their albums. Generating public sympathy, Rihanna has the sales of her album "Good Girl Gone Bad" rising up to 30%, selling another 25,000 copies, whereas Chris' set "Exclusive" fails to make its way to the Hot 200.

- Rihanna "Torn" About Testifying Against Chris Rihanna might still be recovering from an alleged assault at the hands of her singer ex-boyfriend, but she's reportedly "torn" about whether to help cops build a case against Chris Brown.
"I mean, damn, her eye's black and the sides of her face are all f----d up," a friend of the singer told Us Weekly for its upcoming issue, the New York Daily News reported. "But she keeps on saying she still loves him."
Brown, 19, allegedly abused the pop-princess on Grammy night, but, according to the Us article, Rihanna is resisting her family's pleas to cooperate with police. Brown was arrested on suspicion of making criminal threats and released on $50,000 bail, but police are said to be gathering more evidence for the district attorney to bring more serious charges.
According to the magazine, Rihanna's relatives in her native Barbados are reportedly pleading with her not to worry about how jail time might affect Brown's career.
Family members also told Us that Rihanna is listless and suffering from headaches associated with the alleged assault, and that doctors are "concerned about contusions on the sides of her head."
"She hums sometimes, but she's more quiet than I've ever seen her," an friend told the magazine.
A Chicago Sun Times story, however, suggests that Rihanna is still seething over the incident despite any lingering feelings for Brown. The paper quotes an unnamed friend of Rihanna who says the singer is "royally pissed off" by what she calls Brown's ''cavalier and arrogant statement."
Though her camp declined to officially comment on Brown's apology someone close to the singer told the Sun Times that she was "appalled" by the non-apology.
"All of us, including Rihanna, don't understand how he can say he's sorry on the one hand, but still ... does not admit any guilt," the source told the Sun Times, adding, "He should have expressed more contrition."
