Chris Brown Checks in With Judge

Singer Chris Brown checked in with the judge yesterday and received good reports and feedback.

The Judge told the singer, “It looks like you’re doing really, really well.”

So far, Brown has completed 17 of his 52 domestic violence counseling sessions and has been doing a good job fulfilling his 1400 hours (or 6 months) of community service.

Chris Brown will continue to be on probation through 2014, with strict orders to stay away from Rhianna.

His next appearance before the judge wil take place some time in May.

Chris Brown Quits Twitter

Brown signed off of Twitter unexpectedly on Monday, following a weekend of expletive-spiked posts against music retailers and a music industry he alleged was “blackballing” him and under-promoting his new album, Graffiti.

Less than a day after alleging that a particular Walmart in Connecticut was not stocking his disc — claims that were denied by a store employee who said that location was merely sold-out of the disc, and which were refuted in a statement from a company spokesperson who verified the employee’s comments — Brown’s account suddenly went dark on Monday afternoon.

A short while later, the singer posted his final missive on @MechanicalDummy, “I WANNA THANK MY FANS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT. I LOVE YALL. GOODBYE!!!!!!!!!!!!” And that was it.

Chris Brown ‘Graffiti’ Not Well Received

Blogs are filling with complaints and aggravations over Chris Browns latest release. ‘Famous Girl’ seems to be the song that particularly pisses people off as he sings about cheating on a girlfriend that is also cheating on him.

Chris Brown back Onstage

Nothing shoos the 800-pound gorilla out of the room quite like the ear-piercing wail of 1,800 fans.

That resounding din welcomed Chris Brown to the Warner Theatre stage on Friday night, as the singer made his first Washington appearance since life took an ugly twist in February when he assaulted then-girlfriend, fellow R&B sensation Rihanna. Since then, the 20-year-old Brown has shown various faces to the media — flip, contrite, smug, confused — apologizing at every turn while still seeming not to fully grasp the severity of his misdeeds.

Onstage, Brown didn’t look like a monster. He was the same popping, locking, million-dollar-smiling pop star that America fell for in 2005 when he emerged into the national spotlight. Performing his new single “I Can Transform Ya,” Friday, he was captivating, moving across the stage with grace of an athlete and the precision of a machine — a paragon of control.

But control is exactly what Brown lost during the wee hours of Feb. 8, of course, when his infamous altercation with Rihanna threatened to vaporize his musical future. Overnight, the heartthrob-next-door had sparked an outrage so hot that many declared his career over. Some radio stations pulled him from the airwaves. Endorsements evaporated. His young fans struggled to make sense of the news — some just gave up.

Chris Brown 20/20 Interview to Air Dec. 11th

ABC says Chris Brown will appear on its “20/20″ newsmagazine Dec. 11.

In what’s billed as an in-depth interview, the singer will discuss his assault of ex-girlfriend and recording superstar Rihanna in February. He is on probation for the beating.

Robin Roberts, anchor of ABC’s “Good Morning America,” conducts the interview. It was taped last weekend.

ABC spokesman Jeffrey Schneider says clips may also air on “Good Morning America.” He says Brown will not perform live.

Brown is scheduled to release his album “Graffiti” on Dec. 8. He has previously spoken about the attack on MTV News and “Larry King Live.”

Rihanna was interviewed this month by ABC’s Diane Sawyer.

Chris Brown Receives a Shiny Review For Probation

Sorry, Chris Brown — the probation guys don’t hand out any shiny statuettes.

But a judge says that the R&B singer, who’s on probation for the felony assault of his ex-girlfriend Rihanna, has received an “extremely favorable” report, L.A. Now reports.

Brown, who according to the Associated Press talked and laughed with lawyer Mark Geragos during the brief hearing today, was sentenced in August to five years’ probation and 180 days community labor. He was also ordered to stay 100 yards away from Rihanna — unless they’re professionally obligated to attend the same entertainment event, in which case the distance drops. A lot.

Um, so, speaking of entertainment events, Rihanna was recently added to the list of performers at the American Music Awards, which will be held Sunday at the Nokia Theatre at LA Live …

At last year’s AMAs, you might remember, Brown was a big winner. (This year, Michael Jackson might take top honors — he has four nominations. Go figure.)

Rihanna, meanwhile, told a radio interviewer Thursday that she still likes Brown’s music. “When [his music] comes on on the radio, I don’t snub or turn it off; I listen,” she said.

Well isn’t that nice.

So the AMA red carpet might’ve gotten a little interesting this weekend — except that Brown, who played a show in L.A. last night, is heading back out on tour.

More Chris Brown / Rihanna Interviews

Chris Brown has something to say about ex-girlfriend Rihanna’s revealing interview with ABC’s Diane Sawyer, in which the singer spoke frankly about the Feb. 8 incident in which he assaulted her.

“While I respect Rihanna’s right to discuss the specific events of February 8,” Brown says in a statement to MTV News, “I maintain my position that all of the details should remain a private matter between us.”

In the Diane Sawyer interview, Rihanna said that Brown, 20, put her in a headlock twice and bit her on the ear and fingers. “He had no soul in his eyes,” Rihanna, 21, told Sawyer. “He was clearly blacked out.”

And the singer — whose new album Rated R drops later this month — explained why she is speaking so publicly. “I knew I had to do this in order to move on for me and in order for my fans to move on . . . I don’t want that five years from now every time they see Rihanna, they think of Chris Brown beating me. That’s not who I am.”

She also wishes her ex well in the interview.

In his statement today, Brown continued, “I do appreciate [Rihanna's] support and wish her the best. I am extremely sorry for what I did, and I accept accountability for my actions . . . Abuse of any kind is always wrong. The rest I leave it to God.”

Brown was sentenced to five years of probation, six months of community service and one year of domestic violence counseling.

Chris Brown Interview with MTV

While Rihanna granted ABC’s Diane Sawyer an interview about her February assault by her former boyfriend Chris Brown, Brown has taped a segment for MTV in which he addresses the beating that led to his guilty plea to a felony assault charge.

“My thoughts [when I look back on it now] is like, ‘Why did it happen?’ Like, ‘What was I thinking? What is wrong with you?’ That’s what I’m thinking with myself. That’s what my thoughts are, basically, now,” the R&B musician, 20, says in excerpts.
