Celebrity Justice
Chris Brown Investigated for Alleged Assault

Chris BrownLaw enforcement sources tell TMZ Chris Brown is being investigated by the LAPD in an alleged assault on a female.

According to police, Brown and a woman whom cops refuse to identify were arguing inside a vehicle around 12:30 this morning when suddenly things allegedly turned violent.

Cops say they received a 911 call, and when they arrived they noticed the woman had visible injuries. We're told she then identified Brown as her attacker. Cops say Brown had left the scene by the time police arrived.

Cops say they are looking to speak with Brown and may arrest him when they find him.

When we called reps for Brown's girlfriend, Rihanna, for a statement, her people told us, "Rihanna is well. Thank you for your concern and support."

UPDATE
: Grammy officials have just announced that Rihanna will neither perform on the show tonight -- as scheduled -- nor walk the red carpet for the event. The same announcement has been made about Chris.

21. I am from Barbados and I support Rihanna one hundred percent. It's time for her to get with someone a little more classier, and as for fathertime, stop spreading your ignorance far and wide, american girls are no better than any other girls.

30. NotNews,

When you say don't "all of em" beat up their women, who are you referring to? All celebrities? No. All men named Chris Brown? Maybe. If there's anything else you might be thinking, you need to join us in the year 2009.
