Brown and his bodyguard were arrested in Washington in October. Both are accused of punching a man.
At the time Brown was arrested, the Grammy winner was on probation in California for a 2009 attack on singer Rihanna, his then-girlfriend.
After his arrest in Washington, a California judge ordered Brown to receive anger management and other treatment.
That judge jailed Brown earlier this month after he was dismissed from the treatment facility.
Prosecutors want Brown brought to Washington for his trial, which is currently scheduled for mid-April.

Kim Kardashian revealed baby North urinated on Kanye West as they shot their Vogue cover during an interview on The Late Show with Seth Meyers on Tuesday

It's the Vogue shoot that everyone loves to hate.
Because for all the riled up critics and ribald detractors, Kimye's Vogue cover has really got people talking; and surely that's the point of any media endeavour.
Plus, it sounds like the 'world's most talked about couple' and their baby daughter were a damn sight better behaved than many models.

'Most talked about': Kimye have lived up their Vogue tagline but behaved extremely well on set

As she should be, nine-month-old North West was make-up free.
'She didn't need it! She is such a little cutie,' Aaron de Mey, makeup artist behind Kimye's Vogue cover told Cosmopolitan.com.
She also shared how to get Kim's amazing smouldering look: 'She has amazing lashes, so I chose to play them up along with creating a smoky look with chocolates, browns, taupes, and a little bit of gold on the inner corner of her eyes to make her eyes pop.'
Aaron also dispensed with the 33-year-old's famous contouring, explaining: 'She has such a beautiful complexion and I really wanted that to show through, so I kept the rest of her face super clean and minimal when it came to the makeup.'

Raining on their parade: Kim Kardashian revealed baby North urinated on Kanye West as they shot their Vogue cover during an interview on The Late Show with Seth Meyers on Tuesday

And easygoing Kim just went with the flow, Aaron revealed: 'She was very open to something different, but Grace [Coddington] wanted to simplify her look because Kim is naturally gorgeous.
'Grace also had couture dresses made for her that were very sophisticated and ladylike, so we wanted to keep her look fresh and young - almost like a twist on the style.
Plus, she had the baby and Kanye with her in the pictures, so I wanted her to look realistic and not too untouchable.'
Kanye, 36, unsurprisingly, had more to say.
He thought her makeup looked very beautiful, but definitely had opinions on the dresses and the styles he liked best, but it was in a supportive way - it was lovely to see them interact with each other.'

Living the dream: Kim revealed she felt like a real life Carrie Bradshaw as she took part in the photo shoot

Not a cheap date: They treated Anna Wintour to a meal at the posh Waverly Inn in the Big Apple

On Tuesday, Kim revealed that Kanye was urinated on by their daughter North as they took part in the now legendary photo session when she appeared on Late Night With Seth Meyers.

And she had the crowd in fits of guffaws when she explained how their pride and joy took the unfortunate tinkle as she sat nude on the rapper's chest.

After the offending picture popped up on the screen, she told the dynamic chat show host: 'North Peed on him right at that moment.

'He was trying to tell me and I could really hear him. I had to get her and clean him off.'

The reality television personality she said it was 'an honour' to be chosen by the style magazine's editor Anna Wintour to appear on the cover.

She said: 'I knew it was happening of course, but I didn't know it would be the cover. I'm just so honored.'

However Kim, who said the whole experince was like being a 'real life Carrie Bradshaw,' seemed especially proud of the fact she was making history.

No hard feelings: The rapper certainly did not seem to holding a grudge in this picture of the photo shoot 

Kim says North peed on Kanye during Vogue cover shoot

The 33-year-old explained: 'There are a lot of firsts. Kanye's the first rapper to be on, I'm the first reality person to be on, we're the first interracial couple.'

But she also admitted she found it difficult to hide her secret from the rest of the infamous Kardashian klan, especially as, ''I don't keep the best secrets I have the biggest mouth ever.'

She said: 'They were a little suspicious. My mom knew because we used part of her house, but I told them it was something for Kanye.

'I do that a little too often. Whenever I don't want to do something I blame it on him.'

She also said she was proud they managed to keep their photo shoot a secret from teh press, as it would have ruined their chances of making the cover.

Kim also gave a thrilling insight into life aty her mother Kris Jenner's house, where she has been living with Kanye for the last year as they have a luxury mansion custom built.

She said: 'We live in my mom's house. We were meant to move in for a couple of months and now its been a year.

'(Our house) is getting built but it keeps getting delayed.

'That's a reason why we spend a lot of time with Paris. Especially for him as an only child it can be overwhelming at times.

Meanwhile: Rather than stay at home and watch her interview Kim and Kanye met the magazine's editor for dinner

'My whole family loves him and he loves them.'
Kim, who also claimed being in a reality telebvision show is 'a lot of work,' said it does have benefits for her fiance when he is designing his latest clothes line for Adidas.
She said: 'He'll bring over materials and use them as a study group.'
Kim also revealed the chart topping rapper is the 'strength' of their relationship, and that he has been taking an active role in planning their wedding.
She added: 'Im leaving all the music up to him.'

I didn’t understand piracy until I became a producer — Desmond Elliot

Despite humongous breakthroughs recorded by the Nigerian entertainment industry, piracy remains one of its greatest challenges, resulting in colossal loss of revenues that run into billions of naira annually.

No thanks to advancement in technology. Here, ace Nollywood actor turned producer, director and distributor, Desmond Elliot, opens up on how the scourge has also affected him since he became producer, and also suggests viable ways forward.

‘We need to find a stronger name for piracy because I believe the existing name sounds too soft and foreign. Maybe we should simply label it ‘stealing’.

This is because, until we begin to treat perpetrators of this nefarious act the same way we treat criminals, there isn’t going to be any success for us in this battle. I mean, it should be seen as the stealing of someone else’s property and copyright.

These enemies realise that each time they do this, they affect, negatively, the growth of the sector because the people who do objective films will no longer be able to do them since they cannot get enough fund from them anymore.

It’s painful and that’s why I argue that piracy should deviate from being just a civil crime to a criminal offence.

Worst of it all is that next to nothing is being done about it. In those days as an actor, I never really understood what piracy was when my marketers would be complaining that our films were not selling. Now I understand, being a producer and a distributor for the past five years. The last film I released, before getting to Abuja where I have a store, was already released in Abuja. Isn’t that incredible?

That was in December 2013! Entertainment is a huge sector in Nigeria in terms of empowering youths, remuneration for people who work hard and in terms of creating a balanced economy.

Thank God we already have a government that has been able to identify the sector as a potential money-spinner for any nation. Now, what it should do is help curb the menace of piracy by creating a policing system, that is, a section of the police that will deal with piracy in the industry.

This intellectual property theft was actually one of the reasons we visited the president recently.

Though, the major reason behind the visit was to see to the establishment of a physical property for the industry. We realized that Nigeria as a nation is strong.

We also realized that it won’t make sense for Nollywood filmmakers to be in different  parts of the world, next to been praised as kings, and yet we do not have a hold, so to speak, on something physical at least to say “This is where we come from”.

Hence, we decided to put our feet down in Abuja. Now we have a land and a place that is being constructed to operate from. But that still does no eliminate the devil called piracy and that’s why we must deal with it by creating for it a special unit in the police.’

British Girl Defends Dencia, Says Nicki, Beyonce Bleached Their Skin

A British lady — Ruby Monroe, has shot a 3:45 minutes video titled ‘Hair hats are in no moral position to judge Dencia’ to defend Dencia bleaching her skin.
She says practically all black female singers have bleached their skins naming Nicki Minaj, Beyonce and Janet Jackson.
She says: -
“Anybody who wears a hair and I wear a hair myself is in no position to be critical of Dencia. I don’t believe in skin bleaching myself but what is the moral difference between bleaching and wearing non-African hair because Asian people has this kind of hair, latino people have this kind of hair, it may not be latina but it is certainly not wearing African hair in their head….

Nicki minaj has clearly bleached her skin, Beyonce definitely lightened her skin. I can think of four other singers…Janet Jackson, I love the Jacksons, Janet Jackson  has bleached her skin,  there is no way she hasn’t. dencia is honest about it. If you have a hair hats in your head, you are in no moral position to judge dencia.
 
As I said I don’t bleach my skin, I’m a natural black skin girl, this is my natural colouration, but there is no moral difference between bleaching your skin and wearing a weave or wigs. Dencia I got your back.”

Liverpool to a make shock bid for Chelsea star Ashley Cole

WANTED MAN: Ashley Cole is a summer target for Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers

The England and Chelsea star looks set to be available on a free transfer this summer.
Rodgers is a big fan of the left-back Cole, who he knows from his time at Chelsea, where he worked as youth team coach and reserve manager, before moving to Watford in 2008.
Cole's future at Stamford Bridge is looking in increasing doubt with the 33-year-old being marginalised by boss Jose Mourinho, who has preferred to play right-back Cesar Azpilicueta out of position instead.
Cole would be a boost to Rodger's exciting title-chasing squad.
And although he knows he would face competition from 21-year-old Jon Flanagan, Cole is understood to be interested in the move to Anfield.

BIG FAN: Brendan Rodgers is a big fan of the England left-back who he knows from his time at Stamford Bridge

New York Red Bulls are also keen on Cole while Chelsea team-mate Frank Lampard is weighing up a move to LA Galaxy.
Lampard rejected the American club last summer but has a two-year deal. on the table.
The Major League Soccer outfit are willing to pay the England midfielder £72,000 a week to follow in the footsteps of David Beckham.
Lampard is having almost a replica season to last year - with Chelsea making no attempt yet to open talks about a new deal.
They waited until mid-May until giving him a one-year extension.
But this season the midfielder has found himself with stiff competition for a place in the Blues' starting line-up.
Lampard - who is 36 on June 20 - has seen £21m Nemanja Matic make a superb impression in one of the two holding midfield roles, following his arrival from Benfica in January for £21m.

UNCLEAR: Frank Lampard is not sure whether or not Chelsea will offer him a new contract at the end of the season

Ramires and John Obi Mikel can also play there, as can Holland international Marco van Ginkel, who arrived from Vitesse Arnhem for £8m in the summer.
Van Ginkel, 21 - who has been compared to a young Lampard or Steven Gerrard by boss Mourinho - is close to a return, having suffered a cruciate knee ligament injury in September.
Club record goal-scorer Lampard - who was an unused sub in the 6-0 win over Arsenal on Saturday - is now concerned about whether Chelsea plan to give him a new deal.
Lampard - who is due to wed TV presenter Christine Bleakley in the summer - is understood to like the idea of the Californian lifestyle, but is concerned about dropping out of the Premier League.
If Chelsea do not make him an offer, a possible alternative could be to join Brighton, if they are promoted to the top flight.
Last season the Championship club were keen to offer Lampard a two-year deal and make him skipper, and like LA Galaxy, have not lost interest.
