Photo: Rihanna Photo After Chris Brown Beating Shown On TMZ

We don't know how they do it, but they did it.

TMZ has acquired the police photo of singer Rihanna taken just moments after her beating by Chris Brown.

The LAPD, seeming to run for cover, also released a statement:

"The LAPD does not and will not release any victim's photos. It's that simple. We have not."

Brown, 19, was arrested for the beating, while the Grammy Awards Ceremony he was supposed to appear at went on - without him. He was released from jail on $50,000 bail.

Rihanna , who turns 21 today, is cooperating with police.

Brown issued a statement last week apologizing, and said he was seeking counseling. He is due in court on March 5.

Olympic Winner Michael Phelps Photographed Hitting A Bong

It seems that maybe wealth and fame does have the ability to change a person after all.

The outwardly shy and innocent Olympic Gold winner Michael Phelps seems to have a party animal side to his personality.

Ever since he won in China last year, the 14-time gold medal winner has been seen and photographed, in public, bars, universities, and just about everywhere else - getting a buzz on.

Numerous sightings and reports have surfaced of his out of control drinking in VIP rooms and late night parties, and a growing number of comments from those around him seem to paint a picture of someone who is out of control.

The latest problem for the new celebrity is a widely circulated picture of him smoking pot from a bong.

One party crasher who saw his actions told the News of the World: "He was out of control from the moment he got there. If he continues to party like that I'd be amazed if he ever won any more medals again."

Phelps' people are in a panic over the picture; fearing advertisers will dump the swimming sensation. As Olympic officials have vowed to crack down on drug abuse, it could also cost him any chance of competing in the next series of games.

His commercial endorsements are managed by 'Octagon', who deals with big brand companies around the world. They admitted to reporters that the use of pot would be "a major taint" on his career.

Drinking has got him in trouble before. In 2004, at age 19, he received eighteen months of probation for driving while drunk and underage.

He has been on every magazine cover in the free world, hosted Saturday Night Live, appeared on The Colbert Report, Live with Regis and Kathie Lee, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Entertainment Tonight and a Barbara Walters special.

He has also tried his luck at series television with guest appearances on Entourage, 24/7 Chicago, The Apprentice and Rome Is Burning.

Time will tell if the star athlete can pull himself out of this mess, or if he will fade away as another lost sole caught up in the world of the rich and famous.

Adnan Ghalib Claims To Have Britney Spears Sex Tape

With friends like Adnan Ghalib, who needs enemies?

Ex Spears boyfriend Adnan recently told Heat Magazine that he is in possession of a sex tape involving Britney Spears, and is shopping it around for the best price.

The sex tape, allegedly made during the short time Ghalib dated the singer, is said to have been made in Mexico with Spears wearing only a pink wig. Remember the pink wig? Remember when she flew to Mexico to meet Mel Gibson during her breakdown just so she could "Get Away" for a while?

Adnan also told the magazine the sex tape was over two hours long, and he would sell it if the price were high enough. He also said,

"I won't discuss prices for hypothetical inquiries. Unless there is a locked-in deal, I will go no further."

Spears attorneys must be foaming at the mouth over this one, as a nasty and public legal battle would surly ensue over the tape.

Also, Spears returned to the courtroom last week to appeal her driving without a licenses charge. Attorney J. Michael Flanagan filed a petition in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday seeking a stay in the criminal case.

Flanagan also wants an appellate judge to order the judge overseeing the case to grant Spears' motion to dismiss.

The 26-year-old singer is scheduled to go on trial in October on a single misdemeanor charge that she did not have a valid California license when she hit a parked car in August 2007 and left the scene.

Spears also has a new album "Circus" due to be released on December 2, and is planning a possible world tour next year.

Jamie Lynn Spears Breast-Feeding Photo Sparks Child Porn Probe

A photograph of Jamie Lynn Spears breastfeeding her baby, Maddie, has been stolen and has started a federal pornography investigation, reports TMZ.

Baby Maddie's father, Casey Aldridge, had taken several pictures of Spears new baby and family including Britney, brother Brian, mother Lynne Spears, and Jamie Lynn and her daughter Maddie.

In one of the photos, Jamie Lynn's left breast is exposed while she was breast-feeding Maddie. The digital camera's memory stick was dropped off at a Wal-Mart photo center for processing, and law enforcement officials believe that an employee, who has tried selling the photos but has yet to be found, made extra copies using the stores equipment.

Authorities are trying to find the man who is attempting to sell the photos. In addition, Britney's lawyers are thinking about going after Wal-Mart for the alleged security breach.

At only seventeen years old, Jamie Lynn is still a minor, so the selling or purchasing of the photo could be considered a violation of federal laws prohibiting child pornography.

Jamie Lynn Spears is best known for her role on the Nickelodeon television series "Zoey 101", and has just completed work on the animated Howard Baker film "Unstable Fables: Goldilocks & 3 Bears Show".

The film stars Brooke Shields and Jamie Lynn Spears as Goldilocks. "Unstable Fables" retell classic fairy tales, folktale, and fables with a modern twist.
