Names and faces

Police did not find guns or drugs during a search of singer Chris Brown’s mansion before his arrest on allegations that he threatened a model at gunpoint, his lawyer said Friday. Attorney Mark Geragos said he was present during the search and that police did not find evidence to corroborate the accuser’s story, including a piece of jewelry that she said triggered the dispute. Baylee Curran told reporters that Brown pointed a gun at her face after he and another man became angry with her when she admired the man’s diamond necklace. Brown was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. He was released on $250,000 bail. Geragos said the accuser’s story was fabricated. “This woman got irate when she was asked to leave because she was acting in an erratic manner,” Geragos said. Capt. Andy Neiman said the Los Angeles Police Department is working with prosecutors to review the evidence and is not commenting on the case. The Grammy-winning Brown has had legal trouble since his felony conviction in the 2009 assault of then-girlfriend Rihanna. He completed probation in that case last year. Brown has also faced accusations that proved to be false, Geragos said. He has also had stalkers and several break-ins, including one by a woman who moved into his house while he was away.

Larry Wilmore said the cancellation of his late-night Comedy Central talk show was like being in a relationship, but “you were the one who didn’t know it was over.” Wilmore told Stephen Colbert on CBS’ Late Show on Thursday that he’s “very disappointed” in Comedy Central’s decision last month to abruptly end the Nightly Show, saying he thought the program would last through the November presidential election. Wilmore added that he’s “very proud for the work that we did” and he’s hopeful he “can do something like that again sometime.”
