If it ain’t Ike, it’s Breezy … Chris Brown, who is under investigation for beating up his pop singer girlfriend Rihanna last week, is now being compared to past wifebeater Ike Turner, among others. Many speculate that the Pretty Boy’s image is in jeopardy, as more details on Rihanna’s “horrific” injuries, including bite marks, a split lip, and swollen-shut eyes, have been revealed from the police report.

We’re guessing mom’s playing the valentine for homeboy this year.
