Chris Brown's face cut; NYPD confirms altercation between Brown's and Drake's entourages. If you ever see Chris Brown and Drake at the same club, close your tab immediately! Both the NYPD and Brown’s Twitter have confirmed that Breezy and Drizzy were involved in a violent altercation at a Manhattan nightclub at around 4 a.m.  No arrests were made (both stars had fled the scene by the time the cops showed up), but five were taken to the hospital for minor injuries, and Brown himself apparently got cut in the face. The singer tweeted an image of his gash as evidence, but has since taken down the picture. He also took down the accompanying message, which read: How u party wit rich n**** that hate? Lol… Throwing bottles like girls? #shameonya!” According to reports, the fight started over Brown’s ex Rihanna, who’s been romantically linked to Drake in the past. Brown’s crew apparently sent Drake’s party a bottle of champagne and a handwritten note while at the club. Drake has denied any wrong doing "Drake did not participate in any wrongdoing of any kind last night at W.i.P.," his rep's statement begins. "He was on his way out of the club when the altercation began. He did not engage in any activity which resulted in injury to person or damage to property." However Chris has a different story: Chris Brown spoke with New York Police Dept. detectives about the bar fight that left a gash in his chin and law enforcement sources claim his lawyer has given the NYPD "physical evidence" which allegedly shows Drake was involved in the melee. Chris' lawyer, Mark Geragos, went to the NYPD late yesterday to present evidence showing that Drake and Meek Mill were the aggressors, but earlier in the day Chris spoke with Detectives at an undisclosed location in NYC. Cops say Chris is not currently a suspect but rather "a witness and a victim."  Drake is not currently a suspect. Both Chris and Drake were trash talking each other before the fight, flipping each other off and what not.

Kevin Costner defeats Stephen Baldwin in court
A U.S. jury ruled on Thursday in favor of actor Kevin Costner in a lawsuit in which fellow actor Stephen Baldwin accused him of cheating in a multimillion-dollar deal to sell oil cleanup devices to BP Plc after the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill. The federal lawsuit brought against Costner by Baldwin and business partner Spyridon C. Contogouris claimed Costner cheated them by hiding details of a deal with BP before they sold their stake in the company marketing the oil-cleaning devices."My name means more to me than money," the 57-year-old actor told reporters after the ruling by the 8-person jury, wearing a tan striped blazer and sunglasses. "That's why we wanted to get to the truth of this," said Costner, who starred in "Field of Dreams," "The Untouchables," "The Bodyguard" and "Dances With Wolves," which won him Oscars for best picture and best director. Baldwin and Contogouris had sought about $17 million from Costner and his business partner, Patrick Smith. The jury, which deliberated for less than two hours, made no award of damages. Costner's attorneys argued that Baldwin and Contogouris were not entitled to any payments because they sold their shares in the company before the deal with BP was sealed. James Cobb had repeatedly accused Costner and Smith of lying about the nature of his communication with BP executives before they sealed the deal. "The bigger celebrity won," Cobb told reporters. Baldwin, 46, the younger brother of film and TV star Alec Baldwin, is known for roles in "The Usual Suspects" and "Flyboys." He gave no comment to reporters as he left the courtroom after the verdict was read. In the deal, BP agreed to make an $18 million deposit for the $52 million order for 32 oil and water separation devices. Baldwin and Contogouris claim they were duped out of part of BP's $18 million deposit. "We thought that we proved that Kevin Costner ... made misrepresentations about the status of the company," Cobb said. "The jury did not."
