Chris Gets Clean Report

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

4-29-09CB

Convicted Rihanna-beater Chris Brown was back in court today to give the judge a progress report on his probation for felony assault. The disgraced R&B star was sentenced to undergo counseling and must perform six months of community labor in Virginia.

Lawyer Mark Geragos earned his hefty fee by convincing probation officials that Brown had already done 100 hours of community service. Whoopee. Isn’t that like, two and a half weeks out of six months? He does less than a month out of six and gets an “extremely favorable” report? Brown’s now doing a “comeback” tour and releasing a new album. When will he get back to VA and finish picking up trash off the highway?

Chris Confronted In NYC

Chris Brown is finding that some people just aren’t going to forgive and forget what he did to Rihanna. TMZ reports the disgraced singer was posing with fans in NYC Wednesday night when a woman went up to him and shouted “****ing beater” and “I hope someone beats the ****ing crap out of you!”

All those anger management classes must be working, because Chris just smiled and walked on by. And ignored the fans who yelled, “Smack that bitch up.” Uh, wasn’t that what got him in all this trouble in the first place?

Chris Wishes Rihanna Would Shut Up

Chris Brown has spent the last eight months trying to sweep his vicious beating of ex-GF Rihanna under the rug, so it’s no surprise he’s not happy that she’s all over the press and TV this week, telling her story. Tonight, Brown goes on MTV to tell his side, which will probably involve how he’s good to his momma and goes to church on Sunday.

Late Friday afternoon, following two appearances by Rihanna on “Good Morning America,” Brown released his own statement to MTV, as reported by People. “I maintain my position that all of the details should remain a private matter between us. I do appreciate her support and wish her the best.” Uh, no, Chris—it doesn’t work that way. When you beat someone so badly that they have to go to the hospital, that’s not “private” anymore.

Brown’s statement continued, “I am extremely sorry for what I did, and I accept accountability for my actions. At this point, I am taking the proper steps to learn about me and grow from my mistakes. I only hope that others in similar situations can learn from our experience as well. Abuse of any kind is always wrong. The rest I leave it to God.”

Yeah, let’s drag Him into this. Too little, too late, Chris. Hope you enjoyed your career while you had it, because it’s gonna all be over after Rihanna reveals the dirty details of what you did to her on “20/20” tonight.

Rihanna Opens Up About Abuse

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

11-03-09RiRi

Eight months after her savage beating at the hands of boyfriend Chris Brown, Rihanna has finally spoken out about her long journey to healing. In an interview with Diane Sawyer, which aired on “Good Morning America” today, the pop star admitted she had initially been reluctant to discuss the abuse, but finally had a revelation that she must address the issue because she is such a role model for teen girls.

“When I realized that my selfish decision for love could result in some young girl getting killed, I could not be easy with that part. I couldn’t be responsible for that. Even if Chris never hit me again, who’s to say their boyfriend won’t? Who’s to say they won’t kill these girls? I didn’t realize how much of an impact I had on these girls’ lives until that happened.”

The most shocking part of the interview was Rihanna’s admission that she went back to Brown after the beating, and it took several attempts before she finally found the strength to break it off. “It’s pretty easy to go back. You start lying to yourself. The physical wounds go away. You want this thing to go away. This is a memory you don’t want to ever have again.” Rihanna will tell more about the Brown incident on Friday night’s “20/20.” Including explicit details of the beating.

Chris Brown Goes Back On Tour

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

In an effort to salvage what’s left of his career, disgraced crooner Chris Brown will be embarking on a “Fan Appreciation” tour. The AP reports the jaunt will begin in Houston Nove. 14 and play small venues.

Uh, isn’t he supposed to be in the middle of doing six months of all-day labor back in Virginia for the Rihanna beatdown? Is the court letting him out to do a tour? I certainly hope they don’t consider returning to the concert stage to be “community service,” even though a portion of the proceeds from the tour are supposed to go to charity.

Maybe someone in the justice system will note that only two months ago, Brown was sentenced to five years’ probation, six months of community labor and a year of domestic violence counseling. Let him finish all that, then go back on the road.
