Some people might still be giving Chris Brown a hard for what he did but the judge presiding over the case recently gave the “I Can Transform Ya” singer a pat on the pack for his good behavior regarding the terms of his punishment for the Rihanna assault case.
Upon hearing that Chris Brown has completed 100 hours of community labor and has gone through 7 sessions of domestic violence counseling, Judge Patricia Schnegg said, “Excellent. It’s an extremely favorable progress report.”
In addition, Chris has paid off all of his court bills and has even given a sample of his DNA. He’s ordered back for another status report in February 2010.
Chris Brown’s fan appreciation tour stopped in Hollywood Wednesday (Nov 18) at the Avalon. The 20-year-old R&B/pop singer/songwriter brought along rapper Tyga and hip-hop group The New Boyz to open for him. At the end of Chris Brown’s set, he told the crowd that a portion of the concert’s proceeds went to Best Buddies, a charity for people with developmental disabilities. Continue reading for more pics!
Beyonce’s live DVD I Am… Yours will be released next week, and to hold you over the R&B/pop singer’s label has released this video clip of her performing “Sweet Dreams.” We actually like this version just as much as we like the original version!
Continue reading to peep the video and be on the look-out for the DVD, which is set to be released a week from today. And her ABC television special airs 3 days later on Thanksgiving.
As Chris Brown left an NYC Footaction store last week and made his way to his car, the 20-year-old entertainer was met with the screams and cheers of his fans. But one lady stood out when she started shouting things like “f**king beater” and “I hope someone beats the f**king crap out of you!”
A guy in the crowd apparently didn’t appreciate the woman’s verbal assault so he suggested that Chris “Smack that bitch up!” Of course he didn’t take the dude’s advice, and he kept it moving all the while ignoring the lady. Continue reading to peep the video!
R&B singer/songwriter Chris Brown debuted the music video to his newest single “Crawl” Friday (Nov 13) on the Wendy Williams show. It’s a nice and simple video but we thought it’d be a bit more epic. Regardless, the song is still great!
Sidenote: Does anyone else think that Wendy looks so much more sophisticated with the darker hair?
Chris Brown releases his third album GraffitiDecember 8th but in the meantime, continue reading to peep his new Joseph Kahn directed music video, which features singer/model Cassie as the co-star.
We hope this (and the upcoming Wendy Williams Show thing) concludes the interviews about “the incident” from either party!
BET’s 106 & Park’s host Rocsi sat down with Chris Brown to further discuss the domestic violent assault against ex-girlfriend Rihanna. This wass the first Chris Brown has publicly talked about the incident with an open studio audience viewing at the same time.
In the interview, Rocsi asked Chris a number of times if he understood the severity of his actions that took place during the infamous night in February and how he thinks fans see him now. She also asks him what would the Chris Brown today would tell last year’s version of himself. To see how Chris responded watch the video below!
Naturally, when a Rihanna or Chris Brown song leaks, look out for the other to release a track not too long after.
Chris debuted his next single on his twitter and insists there are so many singles because he is “trying to give all [his] fans more music”. Well thank God cause we’re surely tired of all the interviews and drama.
Anyway, the track is called “Sing Like Me” and it’s pretty damn hot. The production is on point and Chris is showing off how he’s grown vocally. We’re just glad it’s not another apology song!! Take a listen to it above and continue reading to download it…
According to our homie BlogXilla, ABC got a whopping 8.1 million people to tune in last Friday night (Nov 6) for that big Rihanna 20/20 interview with Diane Sawyer. He also posted an excerpt from a Complex Magazine interview where Rihanna talked about how she made her mom “pretty upset” when she smashed a glass bottle in her younger brother’s face.
Complex: Did you see 300? Rihanna: [Deadly serious.] 300 is one of the best movies I have ever seen. The choreography, the fighting, the costumes, the production—phenomenal. I make everybody watch it.
Complex: So you didn’t think it was too violent. Rihanna: Oh, not at all. That was the good part. I’m the oldest child with two brothers. We talk all the time now, but we used to fight—and when I say “fight,” I don’t mean arguments, I mean physically fight.
Complex: Who won? Rihanna: I hit the older one in his face with a glass bottle.
Complex: Bokkle dem! Whoa. Remind me not to piss you off. Rihanna: Yeah, my mom was pretty upset.
We’re just going to leave it at that and let you draw your own conclusions…
Also, Chris Brown released a statement following the 20/20 interview, maintaining his stance on keeping the details of the incident private. Too bad Rihanna didn’t get the memo beforehand.
It seems that Rihanna has stirred up a feud with Chris Brown’s people. It is being reported that Breezy will drop his music video for his second single “Crawl” this Friday on the Wendy Williams Show. Coincidentally, this is the same day that Rihanna’s video for “Russian Roulette” is set to be released. Also, an interview Chris did with Good Morning America will air sometime next month. Unfortunately, this isn’t a response to Rihanna’s interview as this was filmed months ago.
We’re hoping Wendy grills Chris and gets a reaction out of him on Rihanna’s “20/20″ interview. As for the interview with GMA, we’re kind of tired of this whole thing. Chris Brown has been interviewed about this one too many times. We hope he just sticks to promoting the album. As for the videos, which are you looking forward to the most? Watching Chris as he finds his way back to love, or watching as Rihanna shoots herself?
I will start this by saying this very clearly: I do NOT condone domestic violence. The views below are of mine and not of Gossip On This as a whole. Domestic violence is never okay under any circumstance and I do not believe it is right for a man to hit a woman, or in retrospect for a woman to hit a man. In addition, I am neither a Chris Brown nor a Rihanna fan. I do listen to their music and I enjoy some of it but I do not consider myself a fan of either artists. Now that that’s out of the way…
On the night of Friday November 6th, Rihanna’s very first post-assault interview aired on ABC’s 20/20 and naturally, the Internet was buzzing before the interview, through the interview, and even after the interview. Many finally saw Rihanna as a human as she told her story of what happened the night she and her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown got into an altercation. But on the other side, many others saw her as untruthful and selfish for using this as an opportunity to promote her upcoming album. Going into the interview, I expected Rihanna to tell her side of the story. I expected her to leave information out and to make Chris Brown seem like the bad guy. I expected her to throw him under the bus, run him over, reverse, and do it all over again. Unfortunately, after the interview, I realized that all my expectations came true.
In an exclusive one-on-one with ABC’s Diane Sawyer, pop singer Rihanna was very open about her and Chris Brown’s big February 2009 assault incident. Among other things she talked about why she went back to him originally, what she thought about his public apology and talked about what really happened in the car that night. She said as he was biting and punching her, he “had no soul in his eyes.”
“There was no person when I looked at him,” the 21-year-old singer recalled during the interview. “He had no soul in his eyes. Just blank.”
But does she want to give him a second chance? It would have to be in the future of course because for the next 5 years it would be illegal for her to even speak to him.
“I don’t have a desire at all to be with him. I can’t see how we could get back together but I’m also not God and I can not predict the future. It’s actually rather annoying that there is still some sort of emotion there. … I am strong. This happened to me. I didn’t cause this. I didn’t do it. This happened to me and it can happen to anyone. I’m glad it happened to me because now I can help young girls when they go through it. I will say that to any young girl that’s going through domestic violence. Don’t react off of love. Eff love. Come out of the situation and look at it third person for what it really is and then make your decision because love is so blind. It’s so blind.”
