Rihanna Wants Chris-Brown-Night Baubles Back

25 April 2009 |

Showbiz Gossip Information Gateway Rihanna is looking to put the sparkle back in her life.

The 21-year-old singer filed a motion Tuesday requesting that Los Angeles authorities return the jewelry she wore to Clive Davis' Pre-Grammy Gala Feb. 7—and was still wearing when she fought with Chris Brown after the event.

The baubles—a loaner pair of earrings and three rings said to be worth $1.4 million—were taken into evidence, along with the bloodstained Gucci gown Rihanna partied in that night, after Brown was arrested for allegedly hitting, biting and choking her.

Four different companies loaned Rihanna the jewels and now want the goods back, according to the motion.

Rihanna attorney Donald Fenty states that Brown's attorney and the LAPD detective overseeing the case have not objected to giving the jewels back and have said that pictures of the items will be acceptable for prosecutors to use at trial—should Brown, who's facing charges of assault and making criminal threats, end up going to trial.

Both Rihanna and Brown's camps have expressed hope that a plea agreement will be reached before the case ends up in front of a judge.

Brown has pleaded not guilty on all counts. The next hearing is set for April 29.


Showbiz Gossip Information GatewayTrue fact: The average celeb totally gets along with the paparazzi. Not everybody is Madonna. Heck, a star-shootin' source told me this week there's one li'l target they consider their queen: Miley Cyrus.

They give her room. They wait down the street, not right outside the house. They say "hello" and "how do ya do" and she says "hello" right back. Working out for her, donchathink?
