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.

Chris Trades Nightlife For Road Work
Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009
f you’re one of the many who’ve been dying to see Chris Brown in an orange jumpsuit, you’ll be getting your wish.
The AP reports Virginia police as saying the disgraced singer “will remove graffiti, pick up trash and wash cars” as penance for his vicious beating of former GF Rihanna. Brown will be doing his six months of labor near his home of Richmond. Too bad he won’t be doing any of that grunt work in SoCal, where there would be plenty of paps to capture images of his downfall.
Somehow, I doubt that any of the “friends” who have tried to excuse Brown’s actions will be out there with him in the hot southern sun, helping him pick up trash.

Chris Parties His Probation Away
Thursday, August 27th, 2009
Chris Brown claims to be “depressed” over being sentenced for assaulting Rihanna, but you certainly couldn’t tell from his actions after leaving court on Tuesday. A few hours after being sentenced to six months of community labor, plus five years probation and a year of domestic violence classes, Brown was out on the town, getting his party on.
People reports the disgraced singer joined a posse of his buds at the trendy Guys & Dolls Lounge in West Hollywood, where the group ordered several bottles of champagne. While being sentenced to hard labor seems like an odd thing to celebrate, this little party may lead to more trouble for Brown. The stipulations of his probation include no drinking or frequenting establishments where liquor is sold.
So what is the under-21 Brown doing in a bar? His probation office in Virginia may be having a talk with the singer about his conduct, since it could land him behind bars instead of inside one.

Brown Sentencing Postponed
Wednesday, August 5th, 2009
Disgraced R&B star Chris Brown will have to wait a little longer to learn his fate—talking to kids or picking up trash?
E! reports that Brown’s sentencing for assaulting former GF Rihanna has been delayed until August 27. This time lapse is supposed to allow authorities in California and Brown’s home state of Virginia to work out the details of his punishment. Brown prefers to serve his six months of community labor in VA, probably because there will be fewer paps to gleefully record images of him in his orange suit, sweating by the interstate.
L.A. Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg is determined that the crooner not be allowed to get off with cushy duties, saying, “I did not favor community service, I wanted it to be community labor.” Good for her! Maybe some of Brown’s teen fans would think twice about emulating his treatment of women if they saw photos of him doing hard labor for his crime.

BET’s Brown-Out
Tuesday, June 30th, 2009
Chris Brown may have gotten off without jail time for assaulting Rihanna, but his tarnished image can’t be repaired with a plea bargain.
Gatecrasher reports that the producers of Sunday night’s BET Awards pulled Brown’s performance on the Michael Jackson love-fest. Sources finger Rev. Al Sharpton and mogul Jay-Z for nixing the singer’s performance. “Al made such a fuss to the BET executives that they pulled Chris. Jay is a big name in the BET community, and he was very vocal about his displeasure with Chris attending the ceremony. He didn’t want Chris anywhere near the awards so close to the court’s ruling.”
Brown is furious over the snub, but he might as well get used to it. He’s likely to face more rejection, unless he truly devoted himself to convincing the public that he’s genuinely sorry for what he did.
