THINGS GO FROM BAD TO WORSE FOR CHRIS BROWN


Chris Brown is still in Los Angeles as he awaits his upcoming court date. Police are now telling media sources that additional charges may be filed against him when the case is presented to the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office.

Brown was booked for making criminal threats rather than domestic abuse, given the fact that Rihanna — had “visible injuries," including two “huge contusions” on both sides of her forehead, a bloody lip and bloody nose, on top of the swelling and bruising. Law enforcement sources tell us they typically book a suspect for the most serious crime they can be charged with — it’s then up to the D.A. to file any additional charges. Given there were allegedly visible injuries, the crime of making criminal threats is punishable by up to nine years in prison. Domestic abuse is four years.

In related news... Chris Brown has so far lost two endorsement deals. The "Got Milk" people have taken down Chris Brown's ad on their website and released a statement saying "The Milk Mustache campaign is taking the allegations against Chris Brown very seriously. We are very proud and protective of the image of the Milk Mustache campaign and the responsible message it sends to teens. Mr. Brown's ad was launched last fall and is scheduled to end this week." Earlier Chris also had his ads with Wrigley suspended. Wrigley also canceled their popular commercial that played during the Grammy's which features performances by both Rihanna and Chris Brown.

*BREAKING NEWS* KANYE WEST ARRESTED @ LAX


Kanye West and his bodyguard were arrested this morning by Los Angeles International Airport police near the American Airlines terminal, a spokesperson for the airport's public relations office confirmed.

Both were charged with felony vandalism, and West's bodyguard was also charged with battery. The spokesperson confirmed that the incident involved paparazzi but did not provide further details; the bodyguard's name has not yet been disclosed. Both remained in police custody at press time.

TMZ.com reported that West was arrested after allegedly grabbing a camera that belonged to a member of the paparazzi and throwing it to the ground, smashing it. According to TMZ, the photographer approached the rapper and began taking pictures of him. West confronted him, grabbed his camera and hurled the camera to the ground.

Another paparazzo began videotaping the incident, according to TMZ, which prompted the rapper's bodyguard to grab that camera. A struggle followed, and the bodyguard allegedly threw that camera against the ground, damaging it. When West realized he'd been filmed, he reportedly instructed the cameraman to "gimme that f---ing tape."
