Looks like Rihanna will have to take the stand in Chris Brown’s felony assault case on June 22nd, her attorney confirmed:
“The judge advised me that there will be a subpoena for Rihanna as a witness at the preliminary hearing,” Donald Etra told E! News after a morning hearing. “She will definitely comply.”
And according to Chris’ attorney Mark Geragos, Chris will also be present at the hearing and will listen to her testimony: “He has to be here anytime a witness is called” said Geragos.
On Thursday, a judge denied a motion by Geragos, to require the LAPD to release confidential records to determine who leaked a photo of a beaten Rihanna to the media. Chris has pleaded not guilty to assault and criminal threats charges stemming from their February incident.

In light of the alleged photos of Rihanna that leaked on the net on Friday, many people have been speculating that Chris Brown is responsible for the whole incident, claiming some type of payback. His spokesperson spoke with Essence Magazine and denounced any connection to the photos:
“This is both a false and defamatory statement. Chris has not released or ‘leaked’ any photos of Rihanna (or anyone else for that matter).”
Chris is expected back in court later on this month for his pending felony assault charges in connection with the February incident with Rihanna.
JOJO CAUGHT W/ WEED + OTHER CHARGES
Rap legend Rev Run’s teenage son Joseph “Jojo” Simmons Jr. from Run’s House was arrested Friday night in Manhattan’s Upper West Side for possession of marijuana.
TMZ reports:
the 19-year old was seen allegedly buying the marijuana and rolling a joint while sitting in a car on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. We’re told he tried to get away by throwing his car into reverse, and nearly backed into the officer’s car.
He was also booked for resisting arrest, attempted reckless endangerment, and criminal use of drug paraphernalia.

Actor Tyrese Gibson recently caught up with People Magazine and spoke to them about how Chris Brown is doing amid his media scandal with girlfriend Rihanna. He said it’s taking it’s toll on the young stars:
Although he appears to be really strong through all of this, it’s really taking a toll on his spirit. People like me and Puff, we’re just trying to show him love and keep his spirits up while he’s going through all of the heat, and there are a lot people doing the same for Rihanna.
It’s really hard for him to focus right now on his music, even though he really wants to. At the end of the day, I’m not trying to justify it because wrong is wrong, but unfortunately, us as entertainers, we have to grow up on stage with a lot of people looking at us. And a lot of people forget that he’s 19, she’s only 21. [SOURCE]
Chris is expected to appear back in court on April 6th to finish his arraignment appearance, after being granted an continuance earlier this month.
