TV cameras have been banned from capturing superstar Rihanna’s much-anticipated testimony at ex-boyfriend Chris Brown’s assault trail.
The Barbadian singer is expected to take to the stand during a preliminary hearing at Los Angeles Superior Court.
And although reporters will be allowed inside to hear the proceedings, the doors will stay firmly closed to cameras.
Los Angeles Criminal Court Judge Patricia Schnegg decided against allowing the showdown to be broadcast to the world.
Brown, 20, faces two felony counts of assault and making criminal threats against Rihanna after a pre-Grammy party in February.
However, if he reaches a plea agreement, the hearing would be unnecessary. Brown’s lawyer, Mark Geragos, has previously indicated he hoped to resolve the case without public testimony.
If it goes ahead, Rihanna – real name Robyn Fenty – could later be called as a witness in the high-profile trial.
Sacha Baron Cohen’s character Bruno launched another attack on superstar singer Madonna branding her a “total sl*t”.
The 37-year-old comic was in character at the recent UK premiere of his hit flick Bruno and launched another attack on Madonna.
He said, wearing leather hot pants and a bearskin hat, about the star: “She’s a total sl*t. Her gynaecologist will only inspect her over the phone these days.”
He also shocked fans by calling Peaches, 20, and sister Pixie, 18, “D-listers” and added: “I want to be the biggest Austrian superstar since Hitler.”
Gossip Girl actress Leighton Meester is starring in a hot new role – her very own sex tape.
She’s reportedly the latest star to be embroiled in a sex tape scandal, following in the footsteps of the likes of Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian.
A videotape apparently showing the 23-year-old with an ex-boyfriend is being offered for sale and on the verge of being snapped up by website celebrityhotline.com.

Celebhotline spokesman Kevin Blatt told TMZ.com: "We’ve seen the tape and we’re hoping to close the deal."
