NEW YORK (AP) - Nickelodeon says it has no plans to remove Chris
Brown as a nominee for its annual Kids' Choice Awards, despite the
singer's felony charges for allegedly beating up his girlfriend
Rihanna.
Brown is nominated for favorite male singer and favorite song
for "Kiss Kiss." He'll be competing in the latter category with
Rihanna, who police say was allegedly punched, bitten and choked by
Brown last month.
An online petition asking Nickelodeon to remove Brown and
Rihanna as nominees had 2,166 signatures Tuesday. Nickelodeon says Brown
was nominated for his work as a performer, and kids will decide who
wins.
The awards are scheduled for March 28.
