Revlon: Is Rihanna a Flawed Covergirl?
Revlon has secretly hired a huge polling company to find out if Rihanna is hurting its competitor, Covergirl.
An online survey is circulating by the folks over at Harris Interactive. The survey -- which we've learned was commissioned by Revlon -- features a Covergirl commercial for mascara. It then questions people if they are aware of the person in the commercial (without saying Rihanna's name), if they've heard about her in the news lately, if they have an opinion about the person and if they feel the person is "an appropriate spokesperson" for the product.
The obvious implication here -- are women pissed off that Rihanna got back with Chris Brown and therefore would be less likely to buy Covergirl products? That's what we're thinking.
We confirmed with Harris Interactive that the poll is a "proprietary study by Revlon" -- translation: no one was supposed to know Revlon was doing recon on its competitor.
We spoke with someone at Revlon who said she'd get back to us. We're still waiting.

Rihanna Washes Up in New York
With wet-looking hair, shades, a revealing blazer and some sort of leg contraption/accessory, Rihanna was spotted -- without Chris Brown -- at a Park Avenue apartment building in NYC this afternoon.
Despite being beaten to a pulp a few weeks ago, RiRi still looks like a cover girl.

Chris Brown's New Mystery Court Hearing
Chris Brown's lawyer, Mark Geragos, has requested an unscheduled hearing even before Brown's arraignment in the alleged beating of Rihanna -- and it has to do with Rihanna testifying in the case -- or not testifying!
We've learned the case has been officially moved to L.A. County Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg. She's the judge who signed the search warrant in the case.
The hearing is set for March 23. It will take place in Judge Schnegg's chambers. Prosecutors will join Geragos but Chris Brown will not be present.
Geragos is the one who requested the meeting. We know it involves Rihanna's possible testimony in the case. Will Geragos ask the judge to block prosecutors from calling Rihanna or limiting her testimony? We don't know for sure.
We do know the meeting has nothing to do with a plea bargain.
The arraignment is still set for April 6.

Rihanna's Belated B-Day -- Booze & Cupcakes
Rihanna had a damn good reason to hit the Hollywood club scene last night -- she was finally attending her long-delayed 21st birthday party ... complete with loads of booze, a couple of decoys and NO Chris Brown in sight.
Sources tell TMZ the whole thing went down in a private patio at Coco de Ville. We're told a five-person party ordered everything from Grey Goose to Jack Daniels, a round of "fun" shots, some champagne, and a cupcake tower for the birthday girl.
TMZ has also learned Rihanna had planned to use a couple of decoys to keep her exit a secret, but TMZ cameras managed to get a shot anyway.
RiRi turned 21 on February 20 -- 12 days after the brutal fight with Brown. Relationships are complicated.

Rihanna & Chris Brown -- Together ... Or Not
Sources connected with Rihanna and Chris Brown tell us there's friction in the two camps -- over whether Rihanna and Brown should be seen in public together.
Rihanna's people are on high alert to make sure no one gets a photo of the alleged victim and the alleged felon together. They believe at this point it would be "extremely damaging" to her career. That may explain why we got video a few hours ago of Rihanna leaving a club at 4:00 AM without Brown.
On the other hand, Brown's peeps want nothing more than the shot showing that they're tight.
And then there's this ... a number of people who interact with Rihanna both personally and professionally want her to cut Brown out of her life for good. They resent him and are outraged at what he did.

Rihanna Gets Her Groove Back
We just got a shot of Rihanna, sans accused felon boyfriend Chris Brown, in West Hollywood after a night of partying until around 4:00 AM. 
RiRi was in the cab of a red pickup truck pulling out of Coco de Ville. We're told she spent almost four hours inside the club, wearing sunglasses the whole time.

Chris Brown -- No Plea Yet
Chris Brown and his attorney Mark Geragos did not enter a plea to the two felony charges. In a proceeding that took roughly 4 minutes and 20 seconds, the judge granted Brown's request to move the arraignment to April 6th. 
It is unclear why they wanted to postpone the case -- possibly to conduct further investigations or possibly to strike a plea deal. We just don't know...
Based on our information, it seems Brown wants to avoid a trial at all costs because the picture of Rihanna taken one day after the incident -- which has not been seen anywhere publicly -- is unbelievable.
During the proceeding, Brown signed a waiver of presence, allowing his lawyer to act on his behalf -- meaning he won't have to show up to any minor court proceedings before April 6th.
Brown, who stood emotionless in court, spoke only four words to the judge -- "yes," "yes," and "yes ma'am."
After Brown's request to continue the case had been granted, the judge warned Brown, "You are not to annoy, harass, molest, threaten or use force or violence against anyone." 
The judge asked Rihanna's attorney Donald Etra if there was a "no-contact order" in place, to which Etra replied, "Miss Fenty [Rihanna] does not request such an order."
Etra is famous for repping Snoop Dogg in multiple court cases throughout the years.

Shocking Blow-By-Blow - Chris Brown/Rihanna
Shocking new evidence about what happened in the car the night Chris Brown allegedly beat Rihanna.
TMZ has obtained LAPD detectives notes from a search warrant in the case. According to the notes, Rihanna read a three-page text message on Brown's phone from a woman. An argument ensued and Brown allegedly tried forcing Rihanna out of the car but couldn't because she was wearing her seat belt.
Brown then allegedly shoved Rihanna's head against the passenger window. When Rihanna turned to face him, Brown punched her, then continued punching her while driving, according to the detective's notes.
Blood spattered all over Rihanna's clothing and in the interior of the car. Her mouth was filled with blood.
Brown allegedly told Rihanna, "I'm going to beat the **** out of you when we get home. You wait and see."
Rihanna called her assistant and left a message saying, "I am on my way home. Make sure the cops are there when I get there."
Brown then replied, "You just did the stupidest thing ever. I'm going to kill you."
According to the report, Brown continued to punch Rihanna, bit her on her ear, her fingers and put her in a headlock -- she almost lost consciousness.

Rihanna: Chris' Beatings Kept Getting Worse
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.

Chris Brown -- Investigation Continues
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.

Chris Brown Hits The Water Again
With the sun beating down on his uncovered face, Chris Brown spent another awesome day smacking waves around with a jet ski in Miami. 
Still no sign of Rihanna, who's currently spending time with Chris only a few weeks after he allegedly beat her up.
