TV BIT: MSNBC’S “A FATHER’S PROMISE”

Check out the preview of “A Father’s Promise“, a thought-provoking documentary which attempts to understand an issue close to President Barack Obama: the subject of absent fathers in the black community.

It includes a cross-section of African-Americans, including NBC’s Al Roker and Tiki Barber, who come together for a round-table discussion of these situations and issues. “A Father’s Promise” aired Sunday night on MSNBC.

MINI ROUNDUP: CHRIS INVESTIGATED FOR FELONY BATTERY & RIHANNA NOT AT THE GRAMMYS? / TAMEKA’S PLASTIC SURGERY EMERGENCY

chrisfelony.gif (UPDATE ON CHRIS B. STORY) Reports just came in that Chris Brown will not attending the Grammy’s this evening due to a LAPD investigation on Brown for felony battery:

“The identity of the victim will not be released,” said Officer April Harding. “Any victim who’s involved in a domestic violence incident is entitled to confidentiality.”

Around 12:30 a.m. on Sunday, the R&B singer and a woman were in a vehicle in L.A. when they became involved in an argument, according to a police statement. After stopping his car, Brown and the woman got out and the argument escalated. The woman suffered visible injuries and identified Brown as her attacker, according to police.

The LAPD received a 911 call reporting the disturbance. “If police locate Brown, yes, he’s subject to arrest,” Officer Harding added.

When officers arrived they found the victim, but Brown had already left the scene, the statement reads.

The LAPD is conducting an investigation into the incident. SOURCE

Entertainment outlets covering the Grammy’s also reported that Rihanna would also not attending due to a “car accident” – her rep responded that she is doing well. Rihanna and Chris were last spotted together last night at Clive Davis’ Grammy celebration.
