R. Kelly is under investigation once again! You think he’d learn after all that mess a few years ago but supposedly the day before he left for his South Africa tour police raided his home in Chicago. There were reports that a 17-year-old girl was staying with him for a few days, but she sneaked out about 20 minutes before police came to his home.

Law enforcement officials eventually found the 17-year-old girl who JUST turned 17, which is above the legal limit in Illinois. Police are still gathering evidence and there is speculation that she was with him before her 17th birthday. We will see what happens with this story… keep it locked to 102JAMZORLANDO.com to find out!!

A source close to Tina Knowles says that the couple have been living apart for over a year now. Apparently Mrs. Knowles is preoccupied with the careers of Beyonce & Solange. She oversees almost every outfit, video, and photo shoot for Beyonce. Tina also assists in Beyonce’s clothing line Deréon as well.

Matthew is known to be very controlling over Tina and his family. Yet they have neglected to file for divorce and the source says they won’t be anytime soon.

Chris Brown today plead guilty to felony assault today in a California court room.

The alleged victim, Rihanna, was on standby to testify, but didn’t have to.

According to Brown’s attorney, Mark Geragos, the plea deal includes five years of supervised probation and six months of community labor.  The community labor will be carried out in Brown’s home state of Virginia.

He has also been ordered to stay at least 50 yards away from Rihanna.  Because of the possibility that they will be at certain events together, a 10 yard order will take place in those situations.

Chris Brown has contacted Keri Hilson about working on his new project. As we all should know Keri Hilson started as a songwriter before getting a recording deal. She has written songs for numerous artists including Chris Brown on his debut album, a song titled”Young Love”. They also teamed up for the song “Superhuman” on his last album. Some other artists Keri Hilson has written for include, Ludacris, Usher, Britney Spears and Ciara.

Apparently Chris Brown likes working with her because she reports that he called her earlier last week and asked for her help in the studio.

Miss Keri Baby was also asked about the Rihanna & Chris Brown drama.. but responded with this statement and beat around the bush a bit….

“It is unfortunate what they are going through, but I always feel like if you’ve ever had a fan base, you’re really only one song away from appeasing that fan base,” she said. ”Whether that song is autobiographical or whether you want to talk about that or not, you’re just one hit song away. And that’s what I think of the industry in a nutshell.”
