Officials had sought to have the probation for the 27-year-old entertainer revoked after she was arrested last month in Brooklyn on charges she smacked her neighbor with her cell phone, said Jack Ryan, a spokesman for the city Department of Probation.

They also complained that Brown had skipped her anger management classes and failed to get permission before traveling outside the city.

On Thursday, Criminal Court Judge Melissa Jackson ruled Brown would have to remain behind bars until a hearing on Sept. 5.

A call to Brown's attorney was not immediately returned. Brown, whose real name is Inga Marchand, was on probation for attacking two manicurists at a nail salon in 2004. She was arrested again on Aug. 17 for allegedly assaulting Arlene Raymond, 25, on July 30 after the pair got into a fight over Brown blasting her car stereo.

The rapper recenty revealed she was pregnant and will be marrying soon.
