TMZ has acquired the police photo of singer Rihanna taken just moments after her beating by Chris Brown.
The LAPD, seeming to run for cover, also released a statement:
"The LAPD does not and will not release any victim's photos. It's that simple. We have not."
Brown, 19, was arrested for the beating, while the Grammy Awards Ceremony he was supposed to appear at went on - without him. He was released from jail on $50,000 bail.
Rihanna , who turns 21 today, is cooperating with police.
Brown issued a statement last week apologizing, and said he was seeking counseling. He is due in court on March 5. _
She just got married to Frenchman Francois-Henri Pinault Saturday in Paris.
It was Valentines Day.
The wedding was a small one, and followed a troublesome romance. The two met in Italy in 2006, announced their engagement and had a baby, Valentina Paloma. Last year they ended the engagement, but reconciled a few months later.
Mexican born Hayek, 42, was nominated for an Oscar in 2003 for the film "Frida," the biography of the painter Frida Kahlo, and is one of the executive producers of the television series "Ugly Betty". She has recently been seen in a recurring role with Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin on "30 Rock".
Pinault, 46, is chief executive of the French retail group PPR SA, which owns high-end brands like Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent and Puma.
Salma will next be seen this August in the action thriller "Cirque du Freak", starring John C. Reilly, Willem Dafoe, Jane Krakowski and young Josh Hutcherson.
The film tells the story of a young boy named Darren Shan (Chris Massoglia), who meets a mystifying man at a freak show who turns out to be a Vampire. After his encounter, Darren must leave his normal life and go on the road with the Cirque Du Freak and become a Vampire. _
We know times are tough and people will do anything to raise the rent money, but Madonna seems to have it all figured out.
On Thursday, a naked photograph of the singer, taken when she was only twenty years old, sold at a New York auction for over $37,000. Not bad work, if you can get it.
The singer, at that time known as Madonna Louise Ciccone, was a struggling dancer when she answered a newspaper advertisement looking for a nude model.
The photo was first seen in Playboy Magazine in 1979, and was one of six from the photo shoot that appeared in the magazine; the other five were sold in an auction in 2003 bringing in more than $7,000.
Another photograph sold Thursday for $18,750. In the photo, also seen in Playboy in the 1980s, the singer is wearing sports lingerie, has curly blond hair and a sexy facial expression.
Her last music project was heard in the smash hit movie "The Wrestler" starring Mickey Rourke, Marisa Tomei and Evan Rachel Wood. She wrote and performed the song "Jump" on the film's soundtrack. _
Wow. If you missed the David Letterman show Wednesday night you missed a very uncomfortable visit by Joaquin Phoenix.
Maybe he was just having an off night or was under the influence of drugs, but it got weird to say the least.
He chewed gum non-stop and then stuck it under Letterman's desk, he answered questions with a simple "yes" or "no", and was less than helpful in his efforts to plug his new movie 'Two Lovers" with Gwyneth Paltrow.
Joaquin seemed to take offense when Dave asked him about his beard, and told the host he was not there to be made to feel weird about it. Ouch. When confused by the audience laughter, he asked the host, "What do you have them on? Nitrous?"
He stared blankly at the host when asked simple questions, and it was rare when you could understand his comments - when he talked at all. He did have one strange admission - he is working on his hip-hop music career. Really?
The interview ended with Dave saying, "Joaquin, I'm sorry you couldn't be here tonight", and apologizing to Farrah Faucet, his admitted worst guest ever - until last night.
Watch Joaquin Phoenix on the David Letterman Show
Joaquin's new movie, "Two Lovers", is a Brooklyn-set romantic drama about a bachelor (Phoenix) torn between the family friend his parents want him to marry and his beautiful, but volatile, new neighbor. It opens February 13.
He was last seen in the 2007 thriller "Reservation Road" with Jennifer Connelly, Mark Ruffalo, Elle Fanning and Mira Sorvino, where a couple's son is killed at a gas station on Reservation Road, and it changes their life forever. _
This month we can see more of Bar Refaeli then ever before, and visualize what boyfriend Leonardo DiCaprio sees everyday.
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue profiles 23-year-old Refaeli next week, wearing a string bikini that has become standard attire for SI swimsuit editions.
This cover puts her face and toned body in front of millions of eyeballs, appealing to both men and women, sports fans and fashion critics. This year there are 19 different models throughout the magazine.
Born in Israeli, Refaeli said she knew that photo of her in the water on Canouan Island was the cover shot.
The magazine spends three days shooting each model, starting early in the morning because the light is best at dawn, and have about 10,000 different bathing suits and bikinis to choose from.
In addition to her supermodel career, Bar is trying her hand at movies with the dramatic "Session", written and directed by Haim Bouzaglo. It is a psychological suspense drama-thriller where a psychologist becomes obsessed with one of his patients. The project has a 2009 release date.
Singer Chris Brown has been arrested for felony battery after a violent incident on Saturday night.
The LAPD was investigating Brown for assault after a domestic violence felony battery against the singer's girlfriend, Rihanna, in Los Angeles.
Both Brown and Rihanna cancelled their appearance at the Grammy Awards Sunday night.
Brown turned himself in to police on Sunday night, and was held on $50,000 bail. He posted bail and was released later in the evening.
The LAPD said the singer and his girlfriend were in a car on North June St. in the Hancock Park area of Los Angeles, where she claims an argument occurred. She said Brown stopped the car and she suffered "visible injuries" and identified Brown as her attacker.
On Saturday evening, the two walked the red carpet at the Grammy Salute to Industry Icons honoring Clive Davis at the Beverly Hilton, and were later seen together inside the party.
Rihanna was set to perform and was nominated for three awards, while Brown was nominated for two awards. _
Alex Rodriguez tested positive for steroids during his 2003 season, a new report shows.
The New York Yankees player tested positive for two anabolic steroids, and his name appears on a list of over one hundred other players who tested positive for drugs during 2003.
He tested positive for Primobolan and testosterone while playing for the Texas Rangers.
Primobolan, also known as methenolone, is injected or taken orally, and improves strength and maintains lean muscle with minimal side effects.
In a December 2007 interview with "60 Minutes" he denied using steroids or other drugs.
Rodriguez played for the Rangers in 2003, when he won the AL home run title and MVP award. He was traded to the Yankees in 2004. He is drawing a $27 million salary after signing a record $275 million, 10-year contract with New York in 2007. _
We don't know how they do it, but they did it.
