Chris Brown, picking up trash
Singer Chris Brown started his 180 days of community service today, as punishment for him beating ex-girlfriend Rihanna.
Brown tweeted early Wednesday morning “On my way to community service,” which will be located in his hometown of Richmond, Virginia.
Later, pictures of Brown dressed in the traditional community service garb made their way to the net. Brown is wearing a red cap and picking up trash, not too concerned with the photos being taken of him.
Brown has been sentenced to five years probation, one year of domestic violence counseling as well as an order to stay away from Rihanna for five years.

Are you kidding me?
Two female LAPD cops are have been placed on leave in connection with a leaked photo of a bruised and battered Rihanna.
After Rihanna endured a beating from Chris Brown she trusted cops to photograph her mangled face. Two weeks later that very picture showed up on the TMZ website. Now two police officers are being investigated as the possible source of that leak.
Rebecca M. Reyes, a nine-year veteran of the force and rookie Blanca Lopez, are roomies and likely the ones responsible for releasing the photo, betraying not only the badge but also a fellow woman who trusted them to picture her in a very compromising position.
It’s a sad day in the world when the people coming to your apparent rescue turn out to be the bad guys, girls.

Chris Brown isn’t too happy about the show Oprah devoted to “all the Rihannas of the world” after Brown and Rihanna’s domestic abuse incident in February. Oprah dedicated an entire episode to the issue of
The hit (rimshot please) singer’s remark:
“I commend Oprah on being like, ‘This is a problem,’ but it was a slap in my face. I did a lot of stuff for her, like going to Africa and performing for her school. She could have been more helpful, like, ‘Okay, I’m going to help both of these people out.’”
And the response from Oprah’s rep? “Oprah is very appreciative that Chris Brown performed at her school, but she takes domestic abuse very seriously. She hopes he gets the counseling he needs.”
This will probably be the end of their dispute. I mean, you can’t go up against Oprah. She’s Oprah, Chris Brown. Let it go.

Chris Brown meets Larry King
Here comes the post-interview damage control.
Clips from Chris Brown’s forthcoming Larry King interview showed the singer saying he “didn’t remember” beating his ex-girlfriend Rihanna. Well, if he doesn’t remember it’s almost like he didn’t do it, right?
His response caused quite a stir so Brown released this rather long statement to People:
Read more“There have been reports on the Internet that I didn’t remember what happened that night with Rihanna. I want to try and set things straight.
“That 30 seconds of the interview they used of me was taken from a one hour interview during which that same question was asked something like four or five times – and when you look at the entire interview you will see it is not representative of what I said.
“The first four times – or however many times it was – I gave the same answer – which was that I didn’t think it was appropriate for me to talk about what happened that night. I said it was not right for me and it really wasn’t fair to Rihanna. The fifth time – or whatever it was – I just misspoke. I was asked, ‘Do you remember doing it?’ and I said, ‘No.’
The UNhappy couple
Apparently Chris Brown and Rihanna fought often, according to documents released yesterday. The court documents reveal that the couple had gotten into quite a few tussles before the infamous February 8 pre-Grammy faceoff.
In Europe three months before the Grammys, the pair really got into it in their hotel room. Rihanna ended up slapping Chris. Brown responded by shoving Rihanna into the wall. No charges or police reports were filed.
Three weeks before their big fight, the couple was in Barbados when things became heated in their rented Range Rover. Brown ended up exiting the car and breaking two of its windows. Again, no charges filed.
The documents also reveal more about the February 8 argument, including what exactly went down in that car. If anything, this just proves how dysfunctional Rihanna and Brown were. It’s for the best that they’re no longer together. And all it took was a judge for them to see that.

letting the music do the talking...
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out Chris Brown’s new single is a apology letter to Rihanna.
“What do you do when the truth isn’t quite enough? They looking at you telling you that we need to break it up, you need to do what you do, it’s me and you in love, but I’m gunna make it up to you and show the world I’m a changed man.”
Jive Records, Brown’s label is not aware of any new Chris Brown music and a source close to the music scene told ThecounT.com, “Today musicians don’t have to have a label or a professional recording studio to make music, they can do it in the comfort of their own home, chances are Chris is recording these tracks on his own and leaking them on his own as well, he doesn’t want to deal with the red tape of a label release, he just wants to get his voice heard the best way he knows how.”
And that would make sense because Brown releasing any music with Jive on board would included many formalities that Brown may want to avoid, at least when it comes to releasing music, especially timely music he feels will speak to his fans and eventually maybe even catch Rihanna’s ear.

Jay Leno
Jay Leno will have three major stars helping him when he starts The Jay Leno Show this September. Jay-Z, Kanye West and Rihanna will be Jay’s musical guest on September 14 for his first episode. They will be performing “Run This Town” off of Jay’s new album, The Blueprint 3 (which I can’t wait for!).
This is a big deal for many reasons. One, it’s a great catch for Leno, who needs to silence nay-sayers as he makes his way into prime time. Secondly, this will be one of the first performances from Rihanna since her attack from Chris Brown. Thirdly, this shows what type of program Leno is looking to make. It’s probably going to aim for the younger, not-ready-for-bed viewers.
We don’t much else about Leno’s show so expect more information in the coming weeks. Hell, it’s starting in a little more than a month.
