Update! Chris Brown Says He Still Loves Rihanna! + Sneak Peak Of Chris Brown's Interview With Larry King!

Photobucket

Chris Brown who is set to appear on "Larry King Live" this week on September 2nd, says he still loves Rihanna.

As part of his sentencing, Chris was ordered to stay away from Rihanna for 5 years! Rihanna (thru her attorney) requested the order be lifted. The judge decided not to lift it, perhaps because she caught wind of the "accidental" mixup of the two staying at the same hotel for 2 nights.

Set your DVRs!



****IN ADDITION****

Chris Brown also gave an interview to "People"...Details below:

On Aug. 26, the musician sat down with PEOPLE for his first interview and – as his mother Joyce Hawkins, a victim of domestic abuse herself, sat nearby – opened up about his shame over that "terrible" night, his enduring love for Rihanna and why he swears he'll never hit a woman again.

Among Brown's revelations:

• He still loves Rihanna: "I never fell out of love with her. That just wouldn't go away."

• How he felt right after the assault: "I was distraught … I went to my mom on the same night and told [her] what happened and broke down."

• Why he's different from his stepfather, who he says regularly abused his mother: "I feel like he enjoyed it. He was an abuser. It was continuous."

For the full interview with Brown and his mother – who calls hearing her son's confession on the night of the assault 'the most painful moment of my life' – pick up this week's PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday

Trife Files! Animal Rights Executive & Vick Hater Robin Starr's BLIND & DEAF Dog DIES WHILE BEING LEFT IN A HOT CAR!! Now That's Animal Cruelty!!

Look at this heffa...you are not going to believe this one! Details below:

Photobucket


An executive for an anti-animal cruelty group says her 16-year-old blind and deaf dog died after she accidentally left him in her hot car for four hours.

Robin Starr, the CEO of the Richmond Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, says she didn't realize "Louie" was in the car until noon.

Starr's husband, Ed, told the Richmond Times-Dispatch he put the dog in her car as she got ready for work Aug. 19. She often took the dog to work with her.

Robin Starr took the dog to two clinics, but he died of kidney failure.

The National Weather Service says the temperature had reached 91 degrees by noon that day.

The board of the SPCA says it still supports Starr, who has been CEO since 1997 and does not plan to resign. It was unclear whether she would be charged.

(Now you know they are not going to charge this HEFFA!)



Side Note:

Now ain't that a bitch!

See this is what happens when you constantly try to destroy a man (Vick) who had apologized for his wrongs and served his time...

Yet that wasn't good enough for folks like Robin Starr who wanted Vick completely left with nothing...

Now...Robin Starr's dog was tortured in that car for 4 hours!! That's animal cruelty!.....Talk about hypocrisy!!

God don't like ugly!!

Chris Brown enjoyed a night out with a group of friends and bodyguards at Guys & Dolls, where he stood up on a booth and got the crowd excited as he danced along to Michael Jackson's "Dirty Diana" says a source.

"He didn't seem to care at all that everyone was watching him," says the source. "He was in a totally good mood, just hanging out with his buddies. Then all of a sudden he decided to put on a little show. Everyone went wild."

Earlier that afternoon, Brown stood in a Los Angeles courtroom where a judge sentenced him to six months of community labor in Virginia (removing graffiti and washing cars), five years probation, a year of domestic violence classes and ordered him to not have any communication with Rihanna until 2014.

Chris Brown & Rihanna's Relationship Had Spots Of Trouble Prior To The 2.09 Incident!

Photobucket

Details are emerging about information obtained in the court files of the Chris Brown case. Supposedly there were 2 other incidents of violence.

Details below:



The night before the Grammys wasn't the first time Chris Brown got physical with his girlfriend Rihanna. According to documents filed, there were two other incidents that turned to violence in the pair's relationship prior to Feb. 8, including once on a trip to Europe and another in Barbados.

The first occurred three months before in Europe, when the singer slapped her boyfriend and he "responded by shoving her into a wall."

The second happened three weeks prior. "They had an argument inside the car. [Brown] exited and broke the front driver and passenger side windows of the car. No one was injured during the incident," according to probation documents.

For beating Rihanna up in February, Brown received five years probation and a community service sentence.

The documents also reveal that in the Feb. 8 incident, which began after Brown allegedly received a text message from a previous lover, that Rihanna “said she became ‘enraged’ and slammed both of her fists against the dashboard,” which led to Brown pulling the Lamborghini over and trying to force her out, which escalated into a physical fight. Lawyers for both Rihanna, 21, and Brown, 20, weren’t immediately available for comment.

In a June 26 interview with his probation officer, Brown stated that since the Feb. 8fight, he had been very “depressed.” Brown stated he grew up watching his mother being physically abused and said he did not want to “carry on that cycle.”

Brown repeatedly told the officer he regretted the incident, and said he initially wanted to plead guilty right away, but his attorney advised against it. “I want to take responsibility for my mistake,” Brown told the officer, adding he is “totally remorseful for what I have done.”


Side Note:

Both of them need counseling. Just a very unfortunate situation.

With the passing of his sister Eunice Kennedy Shriver, Sen. Kennedy was unable to attend her funeral, but I'm sure, his family in heaven are with him now, the suffering is gone and he did his family and the world proud!

President Barack Obama and Sen. Ted Kennedy were good friends, so I'm sure the fact that the President and his family arrived in Mass. a few days ago, had something to do with the fact that the President knew the status of Sen. Kennedy's condition and wanted to visit his friend.

**Update** Chris Brown Sentenced, Protective Order Not Lifted!

Judge Patricia Schnegg sentenced Chris Brown today. Details of the sentence is as follows:

Photobucket



Chris Brown has to adhere to the following terms:

1. Felony Probation for 60 months and must obey all laws.
2. Report to Probation within 72 hours
3. 52 Weeks of a Domestic Violence Program in Virginia.
4. Must turn in all weapons within the next 24 hours and can
NOT own any weapons during that period.
5. Must Provide DNA Samples as Requested by the Authorities
6. 180 Days of Community Service (HARD) Labor… washing cars,
cleaning graffiti off the walls, etc.
7. Get approval before leaving the country.
8. Report to a court room every 3 months for the next 5 years.
9. Fines and Fees: $2,500 in restitution, $2,500 in probation
expenses, $30 for criminal conviction fee and $400 for the
domestic violence fund.
10.The Protective Order for the next 5 years: Brown is not allowed to harass,
assault, threaten, molest, etc. Rihanna. No direct contact nor 3rd party
contact with her. Must stay at least 100 yards away from her unless it is an
entertainment (work) related event, then he must stay 10 yards away.

If Chris Brown violates any of the above, the judge will order him to jail! Judge Patricia Schnegg told Chris during the sentencing:

“I am not the one to ever believe in any hear say or anything else but I am not immune from chatter on the airwaves. Any set violation of the protective order is a violation of your probation…

Even though you have probation, remember this is a felony and it does come with potential of state prison if you should violate in any way the terms and condition of this probation or pick up any new case. Do you understand, I just want to myself perfectly clear.”


Side Note: Well Dayum!

I still do not understand how the court can issue a protection order on someone when the other person wants the protective order lifted. That's absurd!

I seriously doubt Chris Brown will hit ANYONE ever again. To make Chris and Rihanna stay apart for 5 years is a punishment I'm sure neither one thought was going to happen.

**Update** Michael Jackson's Death Ruled A Homicide!

Photobucket


It's just devastation all over again..to understand the official cause of death to Michael Jackson has been ruled a homicide. Michael was murdered! So tragic.

Story developing, Details below.....



Michael Jackson's death has been ruled a homicide.

Eight weeks after the King of Pop was found unconscious, a search warrant of his doctor's office revealed Monday what had long been suspected - that Jackson was given "lethal levels" of a dangerous anesthetic.

Jackson's doctor, Conrad Murray, the target of a manslaughter probe, told Los Angeles cops that he had been treating the singer for insomnia for about six weeks, according to the document.

Murray, whose Houston offices were searched, also admitted he had been giving Jackson 50 milligrams of propofol every night intravenously, the records obtained by the Los Angeles Times state.

The doctor claims he feared Jacko was getting hooked on the drug so he began lowering the dosage and mixing in other powerful sedatives like lorazepam and midazolam.

Two days before Jackson died June 25, all he gave the singer were the substitute sedatives, he insists.

But on the morning Jackson died, Murray told cops he tried again to get the singer to sleep without using propofol, the records state. Murray said on that fateful night he first gave Jackson valium at 1:30 a.m. When that didn't work, the doctor said he injected lorazepam intravenously at 2 a.m.

An hour later, Jackson was still awake so Murray said he gave him midazolam.

Still, Jackson could not sleep.

And over the next hours Murray said he plied the singer with various other sedatives.

Finally, at 10:40 a.m., and after Jackson insisted on the propofol, Murray said he caved and gave into the singer's demands.

Jackson would not recover from that lethal dose.

A law enforcement official told the Associated Press that the LA County coroner has ruled Jackson's death a homicide.

But Murray, who has been the target of a manslaughter probe for weeks, has not yet been charged with a crime.

Murray has insisted - ever since Jackson was found unconscious at a rented LA mansion - that he did nothing wrong.

****UPDATE: 8.25.09 ****

After treating Michael Jackson all night for insomnia with various powerful drugs, the pop star's personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, noticed the singer had stopped breathing around 11 a.m. on June 25, according to a police affidavit.

No less than 82 minutes would pass before a Jackson staffer dialed 911, apparently at the behest of Murray.

This and other alleged suspicious behavior was outlined Monday by an LAPD detective in an unsealed search warrant as part of the ongoing manslaughter investigation into Jackson's death. The document, however, made note that detectives are still determining whether the singer died because of a single doctor, or the "grossly negligent treatment of several doctors" over time.


Doctor on Phone
Murray told police he was continuously monitoring Jackson all night at the singer's Holmby Hills mansion and had administered what would be the singer's final dose of propofol, a hospital-strength anesthetic, at around 10:40 a.m. Murray stated he left Jackson's side for no more than two minutes to use the restroom, only to return to find his patient not breathing.

Police later obtained Murray's cell phone records, which revealed he was on the phone for 47 minutes – in three separate calls – beginning at 11:18 a.m., something he did not reveal to investigators, according to the affidavit. The document suggests Murray was either not paying full attention to Jackson's monitoring, or was frantically making calls following the discovery that the singer had stopped breathing.

On Monday, Murray's attorney, Ed Chernoff, said in a statement: "Much of what was in the search warrant affidavit is factual. However, unfortunately, much is police theory. Most egregiously, the timeline reported by law enforcement was not obtained through interviews with Dr. Murray, as was implied by the affidavit. Dr. Murray simply never told investigators that he found Michael Jackson at 11:00 a.m. not breathing."


No Word About Propofol
The detective's report also alleges that Murray never informed paramedics or emergency room staff that he'd given Jackson propofol – lethal amounts of which were found in the singer's body by the L.A. coroner. Murray said only that he'd given Jackson the sedative lorazepam and an antidote. Police also say Murray refused to sign the death certificate at UCLA Medical Center, where the singer was pronounced dead.

Shortly thereafter, detectives were called to the hospital to aid in the coroner's investigation, but they were unable to locate Murray despite repeated attempts to reach him, the affidavit adds.

Moreover, police say a search of Jackson's home turned up a variety of sedatives and other prescription drugs in multiple vials and bottles – none of which were labeled as prescribed to any patient. There has also been no traceable record of any propofol purchases under Murray's medical license number, according to the document.

Murray, who had been hired by Jackson around March or April of this year and had administered propofol intravenously to the singer nightly for six weeks prior to his death, has consistently denied any wrongdoing.

Meanwhile, the L.A. coroner's office, which has yet to release a full autopsy report due to the LAPD's ongoing investigation, has reportedly ruled the singer's death a homicide.


Side Note:

Not only did Dr. Murray give Michael lethal drugs...according to police he WAITED 82 MINUTES BEFORE CALLING 911!!!!

That is a gross level of negligence! I cannot believe he didn't IMMEDIATELY call paramedics to attempt to save Michael! Who does that????? Michael Jackson put his trust in Dr. Murray...and paid him $150,000 a month...yet in return he waits 82 Minutes!

82 minutes Michael was in his bed not breathing! 82 minutes! How in the hell does Dr. Murray sleep at night! Michael could have possibly been saved and definitely put in a FORCED rehab treatment center.

82 Minutes! That's inexcusable. Unacceptable! Arrest warrant to be issued in 5, 4, 3, 2 ...............
