Rihanna described all the horrific details of Chris Brown's brutal attack on her last February -- claiming he was soulless and had "clearly blacked out" when he was smashing her face in.
On "Good Morning America," Rihanna explained how a fight over a text message set him off -- and once the beating started, all she could think about was "When is it going to stop?"
Interestingly enough, she says she doesn't hate him -- and instead wants him to "have a great career" and to "take this as something to go through and learn."

Chris Brown says he relives his assault on Rihanna every day -- and wishes he could have handled it "totally different."
Brown's full interview with Larry King aired last night, where he said he was still in love with the woman he beat up, played dumb to the past abuse mentioned in his probation report and called the night of the assault, "one of the worst moments of my life."
Brown said he was sorry -- but are you buyin' it?

Chris Brown met with probation officials in late June, and he told them he was "ashamed and embarrassed" over the Rihanna beating.
In documents released today by the court, Brown met at the law office of his attorney, Mark Geragos. Brown's mom and probation officers were also present.
During the meeting, Brown said he wanted to plead guilty immediately, but his attorney would not let him. Brown says he also wanted to undergo counseling before he started his probation but Geragos wouldn't let him.
Brown said when he was growing up he saw violence in his own household and didn't want to "carry on that cycle."
Brown told the probation people he wanted to attend domestic violence counseling and wanted to "do it right."
And there's this... Brown says he has already apologized to Rihanna "on a few different occasions." He added he was "uncertain" of the status of their relationship. Note, this interview was June 26, 2009, more than 4 months after the beating.

Chris Brown's lawyer went to the California appeals court asking to put Brown's preliminary hearing on ice -- but we've learned the appeals court told him to pound sand.

Snoop Dogg won't have to ante up in the lawsuit where he was accused of assaulting and battering a dude after a Seattle concert back in 2005.
A jury decided Mr. Dogg doesn't owe Richard Monroe Jr. anything for the alleged attack. But some no-name performer, along with Doggy Style Music and others, will have to pay $449,000 for Monroe's injuries.

Chris Brown's high-powered lawyer, Mark Geragos, told TMZ on his way out of the courtroom this morning he may want the Rihanna case against his client dismissed because of leaks in the case.
Geragos told us, "Leaks can form the basis for a motion to dismiss the case in regard to outrageous governmental misconduct." Geragos is asking for discovery -- in other words, he wants the LAPD to ante up whatever info they have on info about the case that has gotten out.

Richard Monroe's eyes aren't bloodshot because he smoked a fat J with Snoop Doggy Dog -- they're part of the sickening damage done to him after he jumped onstage at one of Snoop's concerts back in 2005.
During Monroe's civil trial against Snoop yesterday, the rapper testified that he never struck Monroe -- but it's painfully, painfully obvious that someone did when a gang of dudes piled on top of him during the show in Auburn, Washington.
Monroe's lawyer, Brian Watkins, presented these pics to the court yesterday.

Romain Chavent -- Shauna Sand's almost ex husband -- has been arrested for allegedly assaulting his on-again off-again wife.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Romain was busted Monday morning after an argument between him and Sand allegedly became physical. We're told when L.A.'s finest arrived, Shauna had bite marks on her body and claimed Romain had pushed her around.
Chavent was arrested and booked on a felony domestic violence charge and held on $50,000 bail.
If this sounds familiar, it's because Shauna claims Romain choked her, punched her and threw her across the room in front of her kids back in December.

Even if Rihanna refuses to cooperate with prosecutors, the L.A. County District Attorney may have evidence even more powerful than the gruesome photos. Multiple law enforcement sources tell TMZ, the night of the attack Rihanna told cops she was the victim of escalating violence -- and the perp was Brown.
LAPD cops interviewed Rihanna after the attack and she told them Brown had been violent toward her in the past and that the attacks were getting "more violent" as time went on. The interview is potent evidence if the L.A. County D.A. charges Brown with felony domestic battery, and that could happen as early as today.
And there's something else. The photo that TMZ obtained showing Rihanna battered, bloody and bruised is mild compared to other photos. We've learned additional pics were taken on February 9, the day after the attack, and they are far more gruesome -- the bruises and swelling far more pronounced. We're told these photos show injuries that could be devastating in a case against Brown.

Just a status report: Police are still tying up loose ends in the Chris Brown investigation. The L.A. County D.A. does not have the case for review -- at least not yet.
The D.A. sent the case back to the LAPD last month to further investigate the allegation that Brown made criminal threats against Rihanna.
We just checked with the D.A. -- the LAPD has not presented the case to them.
