Danity Kane may be over for now, but Dawn Richard is definitely optimistic about the future! We chopped it up with the singer a couple of weeks ago (the day of the big “Danity Kane is no longer…” announcement) and we talked about everything ranging from her new Danity Kane Comics gig, to her relationship with Qwanell Mosely from Day 26, all the way down to President Obama’s Inauguration! This interview is definitely a good read for any Dawn Richard / Danity Kane fan and anyone who would love to know what’s going on outside of the group’s break-up drama.

UPDATE (1:30 PM): TMZ retracted their statement with a correction stating that there was no weapon involved in the alleged attack.
The police report cites Penal Code Section 245 — Assault with a Deadly Weapon. However, we’re told there was no weapon involved. We had been hearing there was an umbrella in the car — which would have been the most ironic thing ever — but again… no weapon is alleged. By the way, a persons foot or other body part can be considered a deadly weapon depending on the circumstances. One law enforcement source who has been dead-on so far claims Rihanna suffered contusions and bite marks.
So not only did Chris Brown hit Rihanna, but we’re hearing that a weapon was involved. WTF is going on??
TMZ has confirmed Rihanna is the named alleged victim in the Chris Brown case and the allegation is that she was assaulted with a deadly weapon. Law enforcement sources tell us the crime report calls the incident assault with a deadly weapon — we do not yet know the nature of the weapon. The crime report gives the victim’s name as Robyn Fenty — that’s Rihanna’s real name.
A lot of people are speculating that Rihanna gave Chris Brown an STD. Herpes to be exact. Remember the cold sore photos?
UPDATE: Bossip just exclusively learned that Chris Brown and Rihanna got into a heated argument which was reportedly about how Rihanna gave him Herpes, which resulted in him giving Rihanna a black eye.
The woman involved in the Chris Brown assault incident has been confirmed as long-time girlfriend Rihanna! The two apparently got into a fight early Sunday morning following a pre-Grammy party, which resulted in Rihanna getting struck by Chris Brown.
“She got out of the car to walk home. He got out to stop her,” said a source. “Things got physical. He hit her, possibly more than once. She had multiple bruises.”
Police said the fight took place about 12:30 a.m. Sunday in the affluent Hancock Park neighborhood. “Brown and the woman were inside of a vehicle,” said LAPD spokeswoman April Harding. “According to the victim they became involved in an argument. … The argument escalated into an altercation.” By the time cops responded to the scene following a 911 call, Brown was gone. Brown and Rihanna were seen Saturday night at a pre-Grammy gala hosted by music mogul Clive Davis in Beverly Hills. The two posed for pictures and were spotted kissing before they hopped into a waiting silver Lamborghini.
