Prosecutors Pushing To Make Chris Brown's Misdemeanor Assault Case A Felony

As if being transported across the United States on a prison bus wasn't bad enough, Chris Brown may now be facing felony charges if prosecutors get their way in his assault trial. What could that mean? Waaaay more jail time than we previously thought!

Prosecutors just filed legal docs explaining that they want to take the case to the grand jury because they may have evidence to support a felony prosecution. As you may know, Brown is facing a misdemeanor assault charge for allegedly hitting a man who was trying to take a photo with him outside of the W Hotel in Washington D.C. last October. Prosecutors claim that because the alleged victim's injuries required hospitalization, that could justify a felony.

Brown's attorney Mark Geragos filed legal docs asking that the case be dismissed, arguing that it wasn't appropriate for the marshals to transfer his client because Brown is not a sentenced state prisoner. He will reportedly appear in court on Monday to argue for dismissal.

Brown has been in jail on a no-bail hold since March 14 after getting kicked out of his court-ordered anger-management rehab. If Geragos fails to get the assault charges dropped, the troubled R&B star may be in custody until April 17, when the trial is set to begin.

 

BREAKING NEWS - Cops Arrest Trespasser At Selena Gomez's New Home

On Friday police were called to Selena Gomez's brand new home in Hidden Hills after a man was caught trespassing, and the suspect was arrested shortly thereafter. Just before this happened, X17 photographers snapped Selena at her lawyer's office in Los Angeles, so it's not clear if she was aware of the incident when the above picture was taken...

The intruder allegedly jumped a fence onto Gomez's property, and it's still not known whether this is the same individual who was arrested on Sunday night for breaking in to Gomez's guest home...

Back in February another man, Juan Daniel Garcia, was convicted after trespassing at her old house, and he was sentenced to 120 days in jail. But he's not her only problem! In 2012 Gomez obtained a restraining order against Thomas Brodnicki, who was arrested and charged with felony stalking in 2011. In January Brodnicki violated the order by sending an email to Gomez, and at the time LAPD said they were trying to find Brodnicki to protect Gomez from "physical harm."

Selena closed on the 7,200-square-foot mansion just two weeks ago, so perhaps she'll want to invest in beefing up her security? This is getting pretty scary ... and the suspect didn't seem troubled by the attention he was getting when we photographed him being taken in to the station:

Yikes! Stay tuned for more photos and videos...

On Friday afternoon Paris Hilton and her beloved pooch Peter Pan ran errands in Beverly Hills, and the heiress flashed us her megawatt smile before hopping in her hybrid SUV.

P got back from Miami on Wednesday after spending the last few days at the Ultra Music Festival, but it wasn't all a vacation -- she was working on her new album with Birdman and she made an appearance at the American Humane Society award ceremony luncheon.

Between that and her trips in Germany and the Philippines over the last few weeks, we bet she's exhausted ... sounds like a few hours at the spa might be in the cards this weekend!

David Beckham was a cool rider as he left the gym on his Ducati Monster in Hollywood on Friday. Hey David -- you can rev our engine any time!

Unfortunately for us, the soccer stud obstructed most of his face with his helmet and covered up his perfectly formed, man-meat-of-a-body when he zoomed off after his workout. For his outing, Beckham wore a blue hoodie, white sweatpants and colorful Adidas athletic shoes.

But yesterday, the father of four was showing off a lot more skin. Praise our lucky stars! The 38-year-old displayed his fit form when his scantily clad campaign for his bodywear collection for H&M hit the Internet.

“The success of my Bodywear collection at H&M has been fantastic, so I’m thrilled to be introducing these great swimwear pieces ready for the summer," David said in a statement. "We’ve worked hard to create new classics for men, with great fit, comfort and also style."

 

Will Prince Harry Pop The Question To Longtime Girlfriend Cressida Bonas?

Is another royal wedding in the works?! We hope so!

Recently rumors have been flying that Prince Harry and girlfriend Cressida Bonas have been talking about getting engaged. Today a report has surfaced that her family is currently holding a "summit" about the couple's possible royal betrothal.

"There is a family gathering to discuss an engagement," a member of Cressida’s large extended clan said to Daily Mail. "The announcement will be sooner than many people think."

Despite the Daily Mail's report, a source told People that there's no such "summit" taking place. "If they were going to get engaged, Harry would want to keep it so very quiet … And they aren't the sort of family that needs to have a 'summit' over an engagement," said the source.

Many onlookers have begun to believe that the duo may be headed to the alter because the couple seems to have gotten more serious in recent days. Last month, Cressida accompanied Harry to her first official royal outing when he made a speech to 12,000 young people last month. The pretty blonde has also had several quiet dates, including grabbing a burger in January.

The source also added that in the unlikely event that they were in fact engaged, any future plans would probably only be known to the private couple.

While all of England seems to be caught up in the engagement drama, Harry doesn't seem to be letting it affect him. The prince had a little bit of fun when he played with and kids Gainsborough Primary School on their new playground at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London on Friday.

Kevin Spacey Refuses To Answer The Gay Question ... Again

Posted on Fri Apr 4th, 2014 1:30pm PDT       By X17 Staff

spacey-thr-cover-230.jpgKevin Spacey covers the new issue of The Hollywood Reporter, and while he talks all about House of Cards and theater, he gives a very guarded response when the reporter delves into his personal life.

THR writes that the actor's "affable demeanor shuts off the moment he is asked about it," noting that this "might date back to a 1997 Esquire profile that infamously suggested Spacey was gay."

Spacey said:
    "Let's let people live their lives and do it the way they want to do it. All the chips will fall in the end, and we'll all be judged by a much higher power than Entertainment Weekly can."


Wait ... what does Entertainment Weekly have to do with this? And why is THR bringing this up? That said, we don't really care what's going on with Spacey's personal life as long as he stays in our Netflix cue and continues to pose for epic photo bombs!

Tori Spelling Looks Skinny And Stressed At Lunch Date

We hope she's OK!

Tori Spelling met a couple girlfriends for lunch at Aroma Bakery Cafe in Studio City today, and the blonde beauty looked like she was carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders. It has been a rough few months for her, so we can't expect her to look that thrilled!

It remains to be seen whether the reality star takes cheating husband Dean McDermott back, but we think she should kick him to the curb!

The former 90210 star is busy filming her new show True Tori, which will document her marriage crisis, and if you believe the recent reports, her hubby isn't that pleased to be working out their issues on TV.

"This should be a time of reflection, introspection, healing and figuring out what the next step is for them. The last thing Den wants to deal with is production schedules and cameras. He asked Tori to wait a few months before doing the reality show, he just needs some time… but she insisted it had to be now. Reluctantly Dean agreed because he feels this is all his fault," a source dished to Radar.

We feel for her!
