Chris Brown’s high-powered lawyer, Mark Geragos, plans to ask the court to dismiss the assault and criminal threats case against his client because of leaks.

Geragos told reporters that the leaks in the Rihanna case “form the basis for a motion to dismiss the case in regard to outrageous governmental misconduct.”

Whether he’s successful remains to be seen, but in any case, a court date is set for Brown today in Los Angeles for his February 8 altercation with Rihanna.

The singer will not appear before the judge.

Geragos will be present on behalf of the singer. Sources say Brown signed a waiver, although it remains unclear exactly what said waiver entails.

Brown appeared in court earlier this to enter a not guilty plea on charges that he beat and threatened to kill Rihanna in a violent altercation that left the Barbados native, and his girlfriend at the time, bruised, bitten and unconscious.

Following the not guilty plea, Brown’s team and the L.A. County District Attorney’s office were said to be working on a plea deal. That was weeks ago.

Several reports now suggest a deal is closer, if not imminent.

According to legal experts, Mark Geragos (above) is expected to ask for more time in the case to search for further evidence. If he is unable to secure additional time from the judge, a preliminary hearing date may be set in the case.

At the preliminary hearing, prosecutors presens the case before a judge explaining they have enough material to pursue a conviction. Geragos will counter that they do not, and the judge will decide if a criminal trial is warranted.

Regardless of the outcome, Rihanna and Chris Brown want no part of that, as it could result in information going public that both want to suppress.

Brown has sought a plea deal in which he does not serve jail time, but as the felonies he’s charged with carry almost five years, that’s a hard sell.

“I would imagine all parties would be interested in resolving the case so as to avoid the public airing of dirty laundry at a trial,” said Shawn Chapman Holley, who has represented The Game and Lindsay Lohan but is not involved here.

“If the D.A. makes a ‘tough’ offer, this makes it a difficult choice for the defendant,” the attorney added.

“For example, if they offer a deal that still carries significant jail time, the defendant might want to take his chances at trial. Doing so, however, exposes a high-profile defendant to unwanted negative publicity.”

Doug Reinhardt did not exactly try to stop Brody Jenner from cheating on Jayde Nicole on last night’s episode of The Hills. But in real life, he quickly sprung into action when some jackass tried to make a move on his girlfriend Paris Hilton.

A man who reportedly tried to grope the ho-tel heiress at a Los Angeles club Monday night was soon confronted by her boyfriend of several months.

The two were dancing at H-Wood when an intoxicated male clubber approached Hilton and tried to touch her cleavage, a witness tells Us Weekly.

Perhaps he just wanted a whiff of Paris’ new fragrance? Either way, her former terrible minor league baseball player beau intervened in a hurry.

“Doug protected his lady and pushed the guy,” adds another source. “That’s when all of Doug’s boys stepped in and beat the crap out of the guy.”

Doug Reinhardt then had security kick him out of the club.

Fellow clubgoers Jessica Alba and Cash Warren – who of course were dancing alongside Hilton and Reinhardt when this went down – were shocked.

“They looked at one another and were like ‘wow,’” says an onlooker.

Hilton and Reinhardt didn’t seem bothered by the brawl. They mingled with Brody Jenner around 1:20 a.m. before calling it a night shortly after 2.

A source also dished on the happy couple’s weekend plans:

“They are very much in love … They make the perfect couple. [They] are taking the family jet and headed to Kentucky for the Derby this weekend.”

Soon, you will be able to know what only Doug Reinhardt and a few hundred other unlucky guys have ever known – what Paris Hilton smells like up close.

The HO-tel heiress is slotted to receive a prestigious perfume award next month – before rolling out her ninth (you read that right) signature fragrance.

Yup, nine different ways to smell just like her. From Heir to Fairy Dust, and Just Me to Can Can, Paris’ many fans have a veritable fragrance counter of womens’ – and mens’ – scents at their fingertips.

Her newest is called Siren. Sounds hot…

All kidding aside, peeps are definitely buying what she’s selling. Hilton’s fragrance empire rakes in a staggering $200 million in worldwide annual sales.

That was more than enough to get her a five-year deal with posh perfume retailer Parlux. So get ready to smell her a lot more between now and 2014.

Whether Doug will be her husband – as she has predicted – by then or if she will have taken up with a whole host of other dudes by then is unclear.

After three years of courtship, publicity stunts and whoring themselves to any celeb gossip magazine willing to pay, Heidi Montag is officially Mrs. Spencer Pratt.

The Hills’ infamous couple got married – for real this time – in a sunset ceremony at the Westminster Presbyterian Church in Pasadena, Calif., on Saturday.

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, 22 and 25 respectively, exchanged their cue cards vows before 200 guests, including Hills co-stars Audrina Patridge, Justin-Bobby, Lo Bosworth and Brody Jenner, Kristin Cavallari, and Frankie Delgado.

Heidi’s estranged former BFF, Lauren Conrad, had a change of heart and attended the festivities, but made a quick exit from the church following the ceremony.

The wedding party comprised Heidi’s sister Holly Montag and Spencer’s sis, Stephanie Pratt, both of whom were dressed in matching floor-length, yellow, silk chiffon gowns, while the groom was joined by two nonceleb friends.

Despite “security concerns,” everything seems to have gone well:

The plastic bride wore over $1 million in jewels from designer Neil Lane, including a pear-shaped diamond floral necklace with multiple diamond chains layered over it, diamond earrings and diamond hairpins.

The groom borrowed a pair of diamond cufflinks from the jeweler for the big day and even shaved for the occasion. They arrived in a white Rolls Royce Phantom.

Before the ceremony, which was of course captured by MTV cameras, a plane flew overhead and wrote “Spencer loves Heidi” in the sky (see photo after the jump).

Pratt pointed out the planes which were now going to write “Heidi’s No. 1 Hit on iTunes.” Hey, nothing wrong with a shameless plug, even on your wedding day.

Spencer Pratt looked dapper in a black suit, smiling and signing autographs for fans outside the church as Montag posted updates on Twitter throughout the day.

Jewelers who lent Rihanna approximately $1.4 million worth of accessories the night of the alleged Chris Brown smackdown apparently want it back.

Since late March, Rihanna has been trying to recover the borrowed jewelry from the LAPD, who took the items into evidence in their investigation.

“Since there appears to be no evidentiary value to the continued holding of this jewelry, we respectfully ask the court to order the return of this property to [Rihanna] without further delay,” her lawyer Donald Etra wrote in a court request.

A source adds that Rihanna also borrowed a Gucci dress for the February 7 Clive Davis Pre-Grammy Party she attended, which also has not been returned.

Etra stated in the court documents that the owners of the jewelry were going to hold Rihanna liable if the accessories weren’t returned, with the total cost and damages related to their late return as more than $1.4 million.

According to the court papers, the LAPD detective on the case referred Etra to the prosecutor on the case, who apparently has not responded to his requests.

“At this stage [of the Chris Brown case], we’re not even sure what evidence is going to be entered into the case,” DA spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons said.

“For now, we don’t have any further comment on this matter.”

The LAPD also declined to comment. Brown, who has pleaded not guilty to two felony charges, assault and criminal threats, has a court date Wednesday.

Yesterday, Lindsay Lohan said she’s still in love with Samantha Ronson.

Earlier today, Sam changed her Facebook status from “in a relationship” to “it’s complicated” – a devastating blow in the land of Internet age love.

And now, in the latest installment of the girl-on-girl action saga that is Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson, the troubled actress is said to have logged some quality time over at her manly DJ lover’s Hollywood home yesterday afternoon.

Then, Ronson was seen driving away from Lindsay Lohan’s home at 6 a.m. Friday, E! confirms – and the police were not even called to the scene once!

The visits, captured by celebrity gossip photographers, immediately followed Ronson’s return from a vacation in Oahu with a (gay) male friend.

In the past week, the tumultuous tandem has spoken over the phone. In fact, a source says, “Sam texted Lindsay from Hawaii and said she missed her.”

On the Ellen DeGeneres Show episode yesterday, Lohan admitted to the host that she is in touch with Samantha Ronson, if only via text message.

Lohan said she wasn’t “looking to be with anyone right now” and needed to focus on her career. She also said, though, that “I really care about Samantha and we’ll see what happens. Maybe when we’re fully in the right place…”

Facebook.

It’s like a window into one’s soul, especially when that individual is a quasi-celebrity that continues to make news for ending her relationship with one of Hollywood’s most attention-starved train wrecks.

Following a well-publicized fight with Lindsay Lohan on April 4, Samantha Ronson signed online and removed her “In a Relationship” status on the social networking website. This week, however, she changed her relationship message to “It’s Complicated.”

Of course, even if Ronson does wanna give Lindsay another chance, there’s no guarantee the out-of-work actress will take it.

“I’m not looking to be with anyone right now,” Lohan told Ellen on Thursday. “I don’t need to deal with that. It gets too distracting from everything that I need to focus on. Leaving town, you miss someone too much and you don’t want to go sometimes, but I really care about Samantha and we’ll see what happens.”

Remember, Sam: if you really want Lindsay back, the way to her heart is through her nostrils and her liver.

This big step took place comes hours after Lohan, on yesterday’s Ellen DeGeneres Show, said that the two “are talking.”

She was hit hard by Chris Brown, but Rihanna isn’t hitting the road anytime soon, despite a report circulated by E! Online that she was planning on kicking off a huge North American Tour this September with Ciara or Keyshia Cole.

“She wants strong women to join her,” a source told E! of the singer, who was assaulted in February by Brown. “This is a ‘women empowerment’ type of tour.”

Well, a source close to the singer says it’s “not true” that she’s going on tour this fall. Instead, she’s keeping a low profile until Chris Brown’s case is settled.

As he awaits his court date next week – and may or may not be passing time boinking Natalie Mejia – Rihanna kicked it on the high seas … with Katy Perry!

The two are vacationing together in the R&B star’s native Barbados …
