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.

62. MSN.com says that she got in a car accident. Isn't that sad. Here we are in 2009 and women are still having to use the "car accident", "ran into something" or "fell" excuse when they are victims of abuse.

65. Do any of the people who think that sharing the information regarding PHI (Protected Health Information) is not breaking the law? Just because Rihanna is a celebrity does not mean she does not have the same Privacy Rights. I sue hope your job is worth gossiping and sharing this information with everyone. People at another hospital were dired for accessing George Clooney's record. Don't think it won't happen to you. You are still breaking the law celebrity or not.

68. According the report on MSNBC, Rihanna's reps have said she was in a "car accident" and as a result has "bruises on her face."

Guess it will all get ironed out at some point, but it doesn't sound too great right now.

Regardless of what happened, I have to say I am taken aback by the disgusting xenophobic and ethnic comments.

69. I hope the employees that are sharing information on Rihanna have another job in line. Celebrity or not, they are still breaking Privacy Rights and there can be serious consequences. It amazes me when people think celebrities do not have the same rights as everyone else. Would you want everyone to know you had an STD? Didn't think so. This happened before when George Clooney was at another hospital. Those employees were suspended or fired so do not think you can't be either. Actions have consequnces.
