According to police, Da Silva was arrested this morning at his North Hollywood home for allegedly sexually assaulting four women. However, because of his previous arrest involving rape claims (for which he was never formally charged), the choreographer is being slapped with eight felony counts of assault.

The charges are as follows:

- Four counts of forcible rape

- Two counts of assault with intent to commit rape; and

- Two counts of sexual penetration by a foreign object.

The alleged assaults took place between August 2002 and March 2009, according to the District Attorney, who filed the arrest warrant earlier today. The victims – four women between the ages of 20-26 – were all “aspiring dancers” who met Da Silva through his instructional dance classes.

Da Silva was previously arrested for the rape of four women back in April, but the case was thrown out the window without charge, with prosecutors admitting that further investigation was needed before they could move forward with actual charges.

It looks like now they’ve got the proof they needed.

Da Silva is being held on $6.2 million bail.

I guess this means he can kiss his SYTYCD contract goodbye.

RadarOnline reports that an eyewitness at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles has confirmed that it was Rihanna who was treated for injuries allegedly inflicted by Chris Brown.

The eyewitness had been waiting in the ER corridor when Rihanna was brought in by a back entrance. Rihanna, had dark sunglasses on and her hood drawn tightly around her face, trying to conceal her identity. Flanked by two LAPD officers, she was taken into a room across from the witness.

Realising that the person on the gurney must be someone famous, due to all the attention she was receiving from from security  and medical staff, the witness decided to take a sticky and was able to make out that the person was in fact Rihanna.

A detective spent about an hour interviewing Rihanna, with an emotional Rihanna was screaming and crying during her interview.

Heather Locklear has been formally charged with DUI after her September 27 arrest.

The actress has been charged with one count of driving under the influence of prescription drugs, with the Santa Barbara County Deputy District Attorney, Lee Carter, believing that the medications found in her system “impaired her ability to safely drive a motor vehicle.”

No other drugs, alcohol, or illegal narcotics were found in Locklear’s system at the time of her arrest.
