The Web has been buzzing over the shocking photo reportedly of Rihanna. Today is the "Umbrella" singer's 21st birthday, but she has not been seen in public since the alleged attack hours before the Grammy Awards. The Los Angeles Police Department has launched an internal investigation and filed a personnel complaint after a photo leaked late Thursday of what appears to be a bruised Rihanna following the alleged incident with Chris Brown on Grammy weekend. E3 Gossip has chosen not to post the picture, due to the nature of the case.

“The unauthorized release of a domestic-violence photograph immediately generated an internal investigation,” an LAPD spokesman said in statement about the photo, which appeared on TMZ. “The Los Angeles Police Department Media Relations Section began receiving numerous inquiries about the release of a photograph associated with a domestic violence incident that occurred on February 8, 2009, involving entertainer Chris Brown. The Los Angeles Police Department takes seriously its duty to maintain the confidentiality of victims of domestic violence,” the LAPD asserted in the statement. “A violation of this type is considered serious misconduct, with penalties up to and including termination.”

Chris Brown has broken his silence about what went down the night before the Grammy's with his girlfriend Rihanna -- and while the singer doesn't go into specifics about the alleged incident, Brown apologized for his responsibility in the argument.
"Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired. I am seeking the counseling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones and I am committed, with God's help, to emerging a better person," Brown said in a written statement. He added, "Much of what has been speculated or reported on blogs and/or reported in the media is wrong. While I would like to be able to talk about this more, until the legal issues are resolved, this is all I can say except that I have not written any messages or made any posts to Facebook, on blogs or any place else. Those posts or writings under my name are frauds."

Chris Brown, a double GRAMMY nominee and scheduled performer, has been investigated for allegedly assaulting longtime girlfriend Rihanna on Saturday night. According to the police report it said he and a woman were driving in the ritzy neighborhood of Hancock Park when they began to argue around 12:30 a.m. Sunday. Brown stopped the car and both got out, whereupon the argument escalated, the report said. Rihanna, who had visible injuries when police arrived, identified Brown as her attacker, but he had left the scene, the report said. Brown turned himself in to authorities and was briefly held before posting $50,000 bail Sunday night, jail records showed. Brown and Barbados born beauty Rihanna, also nominated, were both slated to perform in different slots at the GRAMMY awards, but separately dropped out at the last minute. Brown and Rihanna were seen together earlier that evening at Clive Davis' pre-Grammy party and later on at BLVD 3 a nightclub in LA. It still isn't immediately clear whether Rihanna's absence was related to Brown's, but Rihanna was admitted into Cedar Sinai's ER after suffering visible injuries to her face. Police booked the 19-year-old R&B singer and dancer on suspicion of making a criminal threat, a felony. Police did not explain how their initial report of an injury assault related to the charge, but it will ultimately be up to the district attorney's office to decide what charges, if any, should be brought against Brown. The Grammy telecast was filled with eye-popping performances, but it was hard to quickly patch up the gaping hole in the telecast caused by the absences of Brown and Rihanna. She was supposed to sing "Live Your Life/Disturbia" as the second performance of the night, he was later to sing "Forever."
