Updates 71-72: Chris Brown Arrested

Update 71:

Singer Ciara is defending her decision to keep a duet she recorded with Chris Brown on her latest album.

She tells MTV News, "I wanted to focus on the music and leave it at that, because it’s a record that I’ve had for a while, I love the way it sounds and it’s one of my most favorite records on the album.
"If I alter it, it’s not gonna sound the same... I could try to do it a different way and I even had moments where I played with it a little bit, but it didn’t feel right. So it’s all about what feels good to me, so that’s why I kept it."
I don’t blame her. It’s business and she’s gotta do what she’s gotta do.

Update 72:

Chris’s legal team wants access to police files in hopes of figuring out how the infamous pic of Rihanna’s battered face was leaked.

Brown's lawyer Mark Geragos told E! News last month: "The leaks can form the basis for a motion to dismiss the case in regards to outrageous governmental misconduct."
He claims it was sold to TMZ.
"The purpose of the leak was necessarily for profit and to vilify Mr Brown and poison the potential jury pool," he added.
He’s filed motions for access to personnel files of 25 LAPD officers and employees who have handled the case. Source

So I’m assuming that any proof of misconduct will get Chris off for the charges against him. Those lawyers are so dern smart.
