CHRIS BROWN PLEADS GUILTY | GETS A SLAP ON THE WRIST

A plea deal has been reached in the Chris Brown/Rihanna beatdown case.

The announcement was made moments before a preliminary hearing in Los Angeles was set to begin.

Chris has plead guilty to felony assault and his attorney, Mark Geragos says the deal includes five years of supervised probation and six months of community labor.

The judge expressed some concerns because Chris is not a California resident, but it appears Chris will be allowed to do his community service in his home state of Virginia.

Upon completion of the labor, he'll enter a 52-week domestic violence counseling program.

He was also ordered to stay 50 yards away from Rihanna in public and 10 yards away from her at events where they are obligated to attend, like at an awards show. Rihanna's lawyer requested that the pair be allowed in the same place at the same time, which suggest that the 2 are STILL getting it in. This "stay away" order will be effect for five years.

If he violates the term of his probation, he could get up to four years in prison.

BEYONCE ABOUT TO GET SLAPPED WITH A LAWSUIT

A pullout by Beyoncé Knowles has a NYC clubowner threatening a million-dollar lawsuit. The singer was slated to perform tomorrow at M2 — the West 27th Street nightclub formerly known as Mansion — as part of the launch of her “I Am . . . Sasha Fierce” North American tour. M2 owner Joey Morrissey agreed to pay the singer $200,000 for the gig, he says.

Sadly, on Wednesday Beyoncé’s people suddenly pulled the plug on the performance, despite having signed a contract that had prompted Morrissey to spend $100,000 preparing for the show, according to the clubowner. “They said they were too busy with the launching of the tour and that they wouldn’t have time to do the kickoff party,” Morrissey tells Page Six. To make up for the cancellation, Morrissey says Beyoncé offered to stop by the club “to hang out for an hour” on Sunday. He adds, “I mean, we sold tables for thousands of dollars for the show, and spent $100,000 renting a soundboard and other equipment, as per their stipulations. What good does her showing up for an hour do me? They’ve been totally unwilling to agree to another show.”As a result, Morrissey says he’s now preparing to file suit against Beyoncé, claiming his place has suffered a “loss of reputation” in addition to the sunk cash. “We had an overwhelming response from our clubgoers, who were lining up to buy tickets and tables. This will come as a great disappointment to all of them,” he claims, adding, “If Beyoncé cancels and doesn’t give us a new date, this hurts our credibility in night life.”

JESUS WALKS!

KELIS IS ABOUT TO CLEAN UP!

As I'm sure you've heard, Kelis and Nas are about to enter into what seems to be a very nasty divorce... allegedly. And I hate, hate, hate to go through Nas’ clothes while they are on the front lawn, HOWEVER, MTV reports:

Nas signed an $11 million recording contract with Def Jam and is co-owner of touring company, Gorilla Union. The documents state Nas also pays for five homes, three for the couple in Los Angeles, New York and Georgia, and one for his family in New York and her family in the Dominican Republic. In addition to business ventures and property, the filings suggest Nas owns a number of luxury items, including a Rolls Royce Phantom, a Maybach, a Ferrari and a full-time
driver in New York.

Kelis is pissed and is about to go all in with this one. Who said rappers don't make good investments???

AD | EVA MENDES x CALVIN KLEIN

Could Eva Mendes get any hotter? Last season, she caused a pretty big uproar over rolling provocatively on a bed in the TV ad for Calvin Klein Obsession – the ones that got banned from U.S. TV, remember? – Well it seems they've struck again from the looks of these new shots of the actress in the Calvin Klein Jeans autumn campaign. She's so HOT in fact that you almost forget that British model Jamie Dornan is even present. Let's just hope the campaign doesn't prompt the same reaction as the current provocative campaign, billboards which have been taken down in New York. Not that the Calvin Klein womenswear designer, Francisco Costa, cares – he loves the ads and the attention they're stirring up, we guess...

JADA PINKETT-SMITH | REDBOOK JULY 2009

While they may seem like the perfect couple on the surface, in the July issue of Redbook magazine, actress Jada Pinkett-Smith says she and husband of nearly eleven years Will Smith often disagree on things, but that is part of why they love each other.

“We’re constantly surprising each other,” she said. “No matter what side of the scale one is on, the other will switch to keep the balance. We crack up about it all the time. We hardly every agree on anything, and we’ve learned to really respect that in our relationship. You might have an idea in your mind of what marriage is supposed to be, and you’re driving, driving, driving, toward this ideal picture. But you have to be open to the fact that your relationship is meant to be something else.”

HAS RIHANNA BLOWN HER CHANCE AT A VOGUE COVER?

Rihanna made a splashy return to the spotlight and stage at Anna Wintour's Met gala at the beginning of May, in a rather strange, strong-shouldered tuxedo. A Vogue cover seemed guaranteed after the editor and singer were spotted getting all buddy-buddy at a Met-gala after-party at Monkey Bar. Fitting since she has emerged from such a dark place as an independent woman. But the Insider is reporting that Rihanna is no longer in the running for a cover, after what appear to be nude photos of the singer leaked to the Internet. A source says Anna won't take Rihanna's calls anymore. Hmm

LINDSAY LOHAN MAY SINK FASHION HOUSE

Lindsay Lohan is in negotiations to become a consultant for French fashion house Emanuel Ungaro - but the move to employ the actress has reportedly angered the brand's top designer.

Lindsay is been tapped by executives at Ungaro to fill the role of "creative consultant", but head designer, Esteban Cortazar, is reportedly furious about having the former actress attached to the luxurious brand.

"Esteban is threatening to leave the company if they bring Lindsay on as a consultant. It has been a revolving door of designers there and if he leaves, his team will go with him," a source told Page Six. "Ungaro thinks Lindsay is going to bring the company new energy and new buzz, but she is going to be the nail in the coffin. Nobody will take them seriously ever again."

Lindsay killed her career and is out cause an entire fashion empire to implode.

BRANDY PAYS VITCTIM'S KIDS $600,000

Brandy is breaking out her checkbook to put the worst day of her life behind her.

Aboudihaj died in 2006 after her car was struck by Brandy's Range Rover near the interchange of the 405 and 101 freeways in Los Angeles.Her husband, Marouane Hdidou -- who has yet to settle with Brandy -- rejected his part of a $1.2 million settlement offer in February.

The imprint already has a long list of talent including Drake, Jae Millz, Mack Maine and Nicki Minaj, among others. It is uncertain if any of the other acts are officially signed to Universal. Of course, Omarion had signed a deal with Timbaland’s Mosley label last year — no word on what happened there.
