R&B Singer Chris Brown has officially removed himself from the ballots and anything associated with the upcoming 2009 Kid’s Choice Awards. The following press release says that while Chris Brown would love to talk to his fans directly about this and other issues, legally he isn’t able to do so right now.

A spokesman for Chris Brown said that, given the controversy surrounding his nominations for Kids’ Choice Awards, he is withdrawing his name from consideration. “Chris very much appreciates the support of his fans and the honor they have paid him in the way of nominations for Favorite Male Singer and Favorite Song. Unfortunately, the controversy surrounding the incident last month has shifted the focus from the music to whether he should be allowed to be among those nominated. While Chris would like to speak to his fans directly about this and other issues, pending legal proceedings preclude his doing so at this time. Once the matter before him has been resolved, he intends to do so.”

Brown is due in court on April 6th 2009 to face charges of assault and making criminal threats to girlfriend Rihanna.

Singer Chris Brown and his legal team are hard at working making sure he doesn’t spend a day behind bars for beating his girlfriend Rihanna over a text message … a text message sources say came from his manager, Tina Davis. Sources reveal to Radar Online that ol’ Breezy expects to plead his two felony charges down to misdemeanors and attend anger management classes if he has to. As far as legally paying for what he did … probation will be in the works.

The charges, stemming from the alleged beating of girlfriend Rihanna, include assault and criminal threats. But the source close to the case says: “”There is alot of grandstanding in a high profile case like this, and the D.A. can’t be viewed as going lenient on Chris Brown because of who he is. If this was anyone else, these case wouldn’t have been filed as a felony.”

The District Attorney has the authority to reduce he charges to misdemeanors and that deal should be cut by Brown’s next court date, April 6, says the source. In that scenario Brown possibly would attend anger management classes and have a long probation period.
