THINK AGAIN…

Grammy day was supposed to be a glittery affair for R&B's reigning It couple, Chris

Brown and Rihanna. But things went horribly amiss.

About the time Brown was scheduled to be singing "Forever" onstage at Los Angeles'

Staples Center, he was instead detained by police, being questioned for allegedly

roughing up Rihanna.

Brown, 19, turned himself in at the LAPD's Wilshire station around 6:30 p.m. and was

booked on suspicion of making criminal threats, a charge that carries a maximum

penalty of four years. The case will now be sent to the district attorney's office and

further charges could be filed. He was released from jail after posting $50,000 bail.

"He was very professional and didn't appear to have injuries," said Sgt. Bridget Pickett,

adding, "He's a good looking young man."

While Brown appeared unscathed, sources tell E! News that the alleged victim was

Rihanna, 20, and that she suffered visible bruises on her face during an early morning

confrontation. Both in turn nixed scheduled Grammy appearances.

Rhianna & Chris Brown Rhianna & Chris Brown IncidentIncident

Despite sources saying that Rihanna had been hospitalized, her publicist, Amanda

Silverman, said the "Disturbia" singer "is well. Thank you for concern and

support." Per department policy, police declined to identify the alleged victim in

the incident, which occurred about 12:30 a.m. in the Hancock Park area,

apparently as the two were heading home from Clive Davis' annual pre-Grammy

bash, where they had been all smiles.

In a statement, police say Brown and his companion "became involved in an

argument. After stopping his car, Brown and the woman got out and the

argument escalated. The woman suffered visible bruises and identified Brown as

her attacker."

By the time officers arrived on the scene, Brown had split.

"Musicians are no different than anybody else”.
