Rihanna to appear in court

LOS ANGELES - Singer Rihanna, who was allegedly battered by her then boyfriend singer Chris Brown, has been asked to appear in court next month in connection with the case.

Rihanna has been ordered to testify on allegations that 20-year-old Brown beat her before a pre-Grammy party in February, reported thesun.co.uk.

“She (Rihanna) will comply. She hoped she wouldn’t have to go,” her lawyer Donald Etra said.
