Tila Tequila took another shot at love, and love took her down, literally.

Tila “Tequila” Nguyen was hospitalized on Sunday after a dispute between her and her boyfriend, Shawne Merriman of the San Diego Chargers.

The San Diego Sheriff's Department received a disturbance call from the bisexual reality TV "star" in the wee hours of the morning. She told police she had been choked by Merriman and, when she tried to leave, he physically restrained her.

Chris Brown truly is the king of all tools. First he beat his now ex-girlfriend Rihanna. And now he is taking on the queen of daytime television.

You are very dumb, Chris Brown. Very, very dumb.

In a recent interview Brown was asked how he felt about Oprah having a show discussing domestic abuse inspired by Rihanna.

The latest addition to Bravo’s reality show Real Housewives of New York City knows all about drama.

Wanna read something that will give you nightmares?

Here are the LAPD’s notes following Chris Brown’s life threatening assault on Rihanna.

Be prepared, it’s extremely upsetting.

But, as your reading, ask yourself; is this someone whose career I want to support?

Rihanna is refered to by her real name, Robyn F (for Ford), throughout.

The LAPD detectives’ notes in the case against Chris Brown are horrifying and sickening.

According to Rihanna, Chris had been physically violent in the past and the abuse had been escalating (as it always does) for some time.

On the night everyone became aware that Chris Brown is an abusive prick, their argument started after Rihanna read a three-page text message on Brown’s phone from another woman.

As details unfold following the investigation of Chris Brown’s attack of Rihanna early Sunday morning, it gets more and more disturbing.

According to police reports and a statement given to officers by Rihanna, their argument started as they left Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy party late Saturday night. When things blew up, Brown pulled over on a side street in Hancock Park, and Rihanna grabbed the car keys and tossed them out the window.

That sent Brown flying into a rage.

In the wake of her assault by boyfriend Chris Brown, Rihanna has postponed her sold-out concert in Malaysia.

She has decided to reschedule the thirteen upcoming concert dates. New tour dates will be announced in the next two weeks.

Her 21st birthday celebration, which was going to take place on February 20th in New York City, has also been called off.

Poor Rihanna is bruised, battered and probably really embarrassed.

Our heart goes out to her.

Chris Brown was arrested on Sunday.

He and Rihanna were expected to perform at the Grammys but were a no show.  Al Green, Keith Urban, Boyz II Men and Justin Timberlake performed in their stead.

At 12:30am on Sunday morning, after Brown and Rihanna left Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy party, they allegedly got into a heated argument in a rented Lamborghini on North June Street in Hancock Park. Brown pulled the car over, the fight escalated and neighbors called the police after hearing a woman, reportedly Rihanna, screaming.

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
