Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Legal Issues,

Chris BrownChris Brown is being investigated for a hit-and-run.

The "Don't Wake Me Up" singer reportedly refused to hand over his driver's licence and insurance information when he crashed his Range Rover into the back of a Mercedes at a set of traffic lights in Beverly Hills, California last week and police are now looking into the incident, according to TMZ.

Chris, 24, is still on probation for violently assaulting his then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009, leaving her face battered and bruised, and this alleged hit-and-run could trigger a violation.

This is not the first time the "Fine China" hitmaker - who was en route to a recording studio with his former lover Karrueche Tran - has been involved in a car accident. In February, Chris wrecked his Porsche 911 after he hurtled into a wall claiming he was cut off by "aggressive" paparazzi photographers in Los Angeles, California. "The occupants jumped out, with cameras, and aggressively approached his vehicle. In an effort to remove himself from the situation, he [Chris] began to back down an alley at which point his was cut off by two additional vehicles. Chris' vehicle was wrecked due to this aggressive pursuit by the paparazzi," a spokesperson said at the time.

Lindsay LohanLindsay Lohan says her arrest yesterday morning is "really fishy."

The Liz & Dick actress was taken into custody for fleeing the scene of an accident but is said to have told pals she feels she has been "set up." It had been claimed that Lindsay hit the knee of an unnamed man in his 30s as she pulled in at low speed to park her Porsche Cayenne near the Dream Hotel in New York City, but the star claims she had no idea she had struck anyone and didn't know about the incident until she was arrested when she left the hotel at around 2.30am.

According to TMZ.com, Lindsay is also disputing accounts that one of her passengers got out of the vehicle to check for damages, insisting it never happened. The Mean Girls star believes the incident is "really fishy" because the man didn't appear to have any visible injuries, though he was taken to hospital, and she plans to "fight" the allegations "to the end."

The Hairspray actress will answer to counts of fleeing the scene of two crashes - one in April and another last month - when she appears in court for arraignment on September 27.
