Chris Brown & Rihanna... WHAT?!

So... I was watching the Grammy Pre-show on E! and this is what all of the sudden was mentioned by a newsbreaker....
There's a reason why Rihanna and Chris Brown were NOT at the Grammys on Sunday night.. EVERYONE was waiting for them and Ryan Seacrest kept asking where they were and that it was odd that he hasn't seen them yet.
The last-minute absences of scheduled performers and nominees Chris Brown and Rihanna prompted some fast reshuffling at Sunday night's Grammy telecast, including a hastily put together ensemble performance by Justin Timberlake, Boyz II Men, Al Green and Keith Urban.
Brown, who was both a nominee and a scheduled performer, was being investigated for allegedly assaulting an unidentified woman the night before the show. He turned himself in to authorities as the show was being broadcast and was briefly held before posting $50,000 bail Sunday night, jail records showed.
Rihanna is well," her publicist said in an e-mail to The Associated Press that didn't elaborate.
Brown and Rihanna are dating and were both multiple Grammy nominees.
Rihanna was set to be the second performer on Sunday night's CBS show, singing "Live Your Life" and "Disturbia."
Instead, the ensemble performance went on after an awkward, impromptu-sounding introduction by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, who had been scheduled to introduce Rihanna.
Brown was scheduled as the evening's fifth performer, singing "Forever," but his performance was scratched.
LL Cool J, who had been scheduled to introduce Brown, instead joined Jay Mohr in introducing Sugarland and Adele.
