Singer Chris Brown let his temper and inflated sense of self-importance get the best of him again as he reportedly snatched a female fan’s cell phone after leaving a Miami Beach club early Sunday morning, telling her, “B!tch, you ain’t going to put that on no website.” The Florida State Attorney’s office is reportedly preparing an arrest warrant for felony “robbery by sudden snatching,” which could be disastrous for the 22-year-old singer because he is still on probation for assault charges stemming from his brutal attack of then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009.
UPDATED with a photo of Chris Brown leaving Cameo on the night of the alleged incident. (It seems a photo made it on a website despite Brown’s efforts)

Howard Stern did his job again as he got Maroon 5’s lead singer and The Voice judge Adam Levine to over share during an appearance on his radio show. Actually this TMI-fest also included Adam’s Victoria’s Secret model girlfriend Anne Vyalitsyna too as they discussed Adam’s co-host Christina Aguilera, how the two met and one other topic of general import. While Adam coaches ’em up pretty well on The Voice as his team claimed victory in season 1, I wouldn’t suggest that anyone go to the kid for birth control advice.

Chris attended Rihanna’s 24th birthday party, though he tried to keep it a secret, even asking guests to sign a confidentiality agreement (his efforts failed big time.) The former couple have also released two collaborations together: “Birthday Cake Remix” and “Turn up the Music Remix.”
