Nickelodeon is standing by troubled singer Chris Brown, who has been charged with two felonies in the alleged beating of girlfriend Rihanna.

In a statement to Usmagazine.com, the network said Brown, 19, will remain a Kids’ Choice Award nominee for favorite male singer and favorite song for “Kiss Kiss.” (He will be competing against Rihanna in the latter category.)

An online petition asking Nickelodeon to remove Brown and Rihanna as nominees had 2,166 signatures Tuesday.

But a network rep tells Us: “Like all our KCA nominees, Chris Brown was nominated by kids several months ago based on his work as a performer, and the kids who vote will ultimately decide who wins in the category.”

The same day Brown was charged with two felonies, he apparently posted a MySpace blog asking fans to vote for him in the Kids’ Choice content.

The awards are set for March 28.

Rosario Dawson intends to be a mom one day, but when her little ones do naughty things, the actress says she doesn’t believe in yelling — just torturing with her tongue.

“I think licking is a really great way of disciplining your child. It’s definitely a lot better than screaming at them,” Dawson told Tarts while promoting her new indie flick Explicit Ills which explores the somber state of the American health care system. “My mom did it to me for punishment, she loves to say that I came [from her] so she can do anything that she wants to me in public. If I was acting out or talking up or just being a precocious child as I was she would lick me and my face in front of all her friends.”

Speaking of her mom, Dawson is experiencing the ills of the hospital system away from the lights and cameras as well.

“My mom got struck by a car several years ago and is still sustaining the injuries,” she said. “She is diabetic and asthmatic which came a lot from being in New York City during 9/11 and going and volunteering and helping out and just seeing the catastrophe of so many people who got sick then who are still not being helped in the proper ways.”

The 29-year-old is so passionate about pushing for improvements that she and her fellow cast and crew ran the risk of being put in the pokey. Literally.

“The amazing thing is that we actually did the March at the end of the film for real — it was the only thing that we didn’t have permits for,” Dawson added. “So we just went out and hoped we wouldn’t get arrested.”
