    PPL didn’t forget about yesterday’s incident…it was still all over news this morning in new york and GMA did a special on it as well…granted they’re milking it and it was probably set up by them lol but it just reveals who he is really…a short tempered violent man. i mean really?! who rips off their shirt and rages around times square?

  6. paigej March 23, 2011

    @NYLA b**** please he took his shirt off and gave it to a fan! Go somewhere else with that b******* story now on a positive note FAME in stores NOW go get it!!!

    I know right! That was a stupid publicity stunt though, he doesn’t need anymore negativity. Nobody really cares but old ass people who watch those early morning shows. It’s funny because I heard that his album sales increased drastically the first day when that happened, and I was hoping they would to show support for Chris. Pop and urban radio stations have been playing his singles like crazy. Every time I turn on the radio, I hear one of Chris’ Brown’s singles and even songs he’s featured on. My album should b becoming in the male later this week.

    The blonde doesn’t look too bad on him here. I wish he would go back to dark brown though or even light brown.

  8. lola March 23, 2011

    BTW TMZ SHOULD BE SUED! I am seriously, how dare they try to rip this boy apart?

  9. MISHKA March 23, 2011

    Good Morning America just invite him back to the show.

    Everything is about ratings people. They don’t give a damn about the window, his ex-girlfriend , they probably had outstanding ratings since people skip school and work to watch the show yesterday.

    Which is why Chris Brown should fire his PR people and hire a team at Michael Vick, Tyger Woods or Kanye West agency .

    People want his music and his performances, including the *haters*. They just want him to not give them a reason to put their wallet back in their pocket.

    Do the right thing, Chris. Keep doing great entertainment and hire professionnals for the miscellanous

    FAME !

    CHRIS IS TALENTED BUT THAT TANTRUM WAS UNCALLED FOR. HE’S A GROWN MAN, HE NEEDS TO LEARN TO CONTROL HIMSELF AND PROVE THE NAY SAYERS WRONG. NOW HE’S GIVEN EVERYONE WHAT THEY WANT, THE ANGRY BLACK MAN THAT HIT RIHANNA. NOW HE LOOKS GUILTY FOR 2009 AND IT PROVES ONLY A FEW WORDS CAN SET HIM OFF. THE SAD THING IS, IS THAT THE QUESTIONS WERE CLEARED WITH CHRIS AND MANAGEMENT AS THEY ALL DO IN THE INDUSTRY, QUESTIONS ALWAYS HAVE TO BE CLEARED, WHEN THEY TRY TO WORM IN TALK ABOUT BEYONCE’S MARRIAGE, SHE GOES RIGHT AROUND IT BECAUSE IT’S NOT APART OF THE PLAN UNLESS SHE AND HER TEAM SAY SO. CHRIS KNEW ABOUT THESE QUESTIONS AHEAD OF TIME SO EITHER HE’S BLOWING THIS UP LIKE CHARLIE SHEEN, TRYING TO BE MORE FAMOUS (NOTICE HOW HE SAID ON TWITTER CHARLIE SHEEN IS PRAISED FOR HIS BS AND PEOPLE ALWAYS F*** WITH HIM SO THAT WAS A DEAD GIVEAWAY IF HE WAS PULLING A PUBLICITY STUNT) OR HE REALLY DOES HAVE A TEMPER PROBLEM. 21 IS TOO DAMN OLD TO BE SO IMMAUTRE. HE’S TOO GROWN FOR THAT AND IF HE’S NOT, HE NEEDS TO GROW THE HELL UP BECAUSE I AM A FAN BUT I AM A DISSAPOINTED ONE. HE NEEDS TO PUT MORE INTO THESE LAZY PERFORMANCES AND HIS SUB PAR VOCALS. “BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE” IS A HORRIBLE SONG BY THE WAY. CHRIS BROWN DOES NOT HAVE A VERSATILE VOICE. HE NEEDS URBAN RECORDS, PERIOD. “DEUCES” IS HIM @ HIS BEST AS WELL AS “KISS KISS”. RECORDS WITH SOME URBAN ATTITUDE. BUT ENOUGH OF THAT, CHRIS, GROW UP AND LEARN HOW TO STAGE A COMEBACK. I SEE THAT YOU STILL HAVE SOME GROWING AND MATURING TO DO. YOU’RE LOSING RESPECT EVERY DAY. STEP YOUR GAME UP, BECAUSE AS I SAID, I’M A FAN, JUST DISSAPOINTED, AND I DON’T STAND ALONE.

    @IKNOWTHETRUTH —

    I couldn’t make it through your comment. After the first few sentences I began to get a headache, not enough punctuation, and typing in all upper case is NOT a good look!

    So rethink, reboot, repost and reedit, THEN press enter..!!! (but before you do, go and console your girl Riri; seems like Ciara is having the last laugh)

  14. NYLA March 23, 2011

    @PAIGEJ B**** PLEASE! It wouldn’t have been so bad if he didn’t refer to beating a woman as “no big deal”
    nah im jk…really paigej? really? i tried having a civil conversation and all you can say is b**** please? haha i’m not saying you’re an ignorant, uneducated woman that has lower self esteem than a Zoloft pill popping narcissist to want to be with a man who beats women…wait, that’s exactly what you portray yourself as

    more L.A.M.E then F.A.M.E. haha

  15. IKNOWTHETRUTH March 23, 2011

    @ X, Y, “AND Z”, I DON’T LIKE RIHANNA, TRY AGAIN. AS I SAID, I’M A FAN OF HIS, BUT HIS BEHAVIOR IS RIDICULOUS. BY THE WAY, I TYPE JUST FINE, YOU’D HAVE TO READ THE STATEMENT TO TELL ME HOW TO CORRECT IT LOL.

  16. Janaye Williams March 23, 2011

    I really hope Chris Brown makes a solid comeback with his new CD. I haven’t had the chance to purchase F.A.M.E yet, but I plan to….if any of you guys have tell me what you thought about it at my blog http://LNK.by/fgpc0

  17. Noxolo March 23, 2011

    Chris rocks and is jst a guy with an amazing talent who is fighting 2 stay in the game.just enjoy the music forget the drama.

  18. StayFreshYaki March 23, 2011

    Stunt Queen.

  19. Keesha March 23, 2011

    @IKnowTheTruth I definitely agree with most of your post. Chris definitely does need to mature, he really does. I know that it’s not going to happen overnight though. We as fans can post our thoughts on blog sites and send him tweets through twitter, his friends and family can give him advice, but ultimately, he has realize things for himself.

    And for the people that I know are going to attack @IKnowTheTruth, the truth hurts. A part of being a mature adult, or just being mature period, is realizing that the people who care about you the most tell you the truth, no matter how much it may hurt your feelings. A child, or the person with a child-like mentality will not realize this and they will think that if you are not letting them do or say what they want that means that you are against them.

  20. Keesha March 23, 2011

    @Nyla When did he say that the incident itself was “no big deal”? If I’m not mistaken, didn’t say that when referring to the lowering of the restrictions on the stay-away order?

  21. TIMMI March 23, 2011

    Really, Trent? You think you are going to help Chris dodge a flop by continuously posting about him? Even though his album cover is already plastered as the wallpaper for the website?

    All you are going to do is make the people sick of him sicker.

  22. Keesha March 23, 2011

    I have both “Next To You” and “Should Have Kissed You” stuck in my head!!! They are great songs though.

    “SOME INFO ON ‘F.A.M.E’ SALE NUMBERS”

    I’m now looking at hitsdailydouble.com, for any info on ‘FAME’ sales figures. I saw this: http://www.hitsdailydouble.com/news/rumormill.cgi Scroll down to the 4th story (the one with a picture showing Breezy playing ball), here’s what they said:

    “But there’s little question about next week’s projected #1 album; it’s Brown’s new Jive/JLG release F.A.M.E. (3/23a)” (<– Now I THINK I know what his DJ was hinting at/about…)

  26. Kendra March 23, 2011

    @IDNTKNOSHIT…chile first of all have you had any grammar classes, that one big long ass run on sentence – a mess, but anywho first of all Chris took a a guilty plea which means he admitted to being at fault so there’s no question of his guilty for the 2009 incident.
    Also for Chris behavior on yesterday nobody in their right mind would believe Chris Brown actually approved a Rihanna line of questioning on the day his album is being released. But let’s say for the sake of argument that he did, don’t you think the questions would have been more relevant to where he is in the growing process and not “so the restraining order has been relaxed are you and Rihanna in contact”, that question alone is messy and irrelevent. I believe the host Robin was being messy hence why she kept trying to discuss the past when Chris clearly was not, that’s more proof that he never approved such questioning. In Chris’ Page Six interview it was published that CB would walk if any questions about Rihanna or the incident were brought up and Sherry from the View said yesterday that when they invited him to come on he declined because they said they would ask a few questions about the case. So with all that I find it very hard to believe that of all days Chris would agree to Rihanna questions on his album release day.
    As for the “alleged” outburst it has not been PROVEN that Chris did anything hence why ABC is not pressing any charges and has invited him to come back, but clearly something went on in that room…if he is responsible for the broken window I sincerely hope that he sees what happened as eviidence that he may need to continue seeing a counselor for his anger issues but as a fan will still always stand by and support him. Chris is a grown man and we cannot dictate his life.

  27. Kisses March 23, 2011

    These comments are funny 😆

    But anyways, the past is the past. Dont dwell on it, new beginning. That is all…

  30. NYLA March 23, 2011

    @KEESHA…well-written blog in response to @Iknowthetruth…enjoyed reading it 🙂
    As for your response to me, I’m not sure, i’ll look back at it. Either way, saying no big deal at any part of the topic isn’t the greatest idea lol

  31. Hell No March 23, 2011

    I actually think a lot of people would have forgiven and forgotten about him beating the s*** ouf of Rihanna if he actually expressed a slight shred of remorse about it. If he stopped refering to it as a ‘mishap’ or ‘no big deal’ people would probably give him more of a chance. He is absolutely his own worst enemy, and I think the worst is yet to come for him, I really do. He clearly has massive anger and emotional issues that he needs to work out. I dread to think what he’s capable of in his current mindset. He needs time out to relax, have some more therapy and grow up. It’s s shame because I actually like some of his music, but his attitude towards the whole Rihanna thing is deplorable and is the main reason why so many people can’t forgive him for what happened over two years ago. Wake up, show regret and grow the f*** up child.

    If Chris gets a #1 album doesn’t that mean hes officially surpassed Rihanna since shes never had a #1 album in her entire career?
    Damn flop tour and now this………….roc nation might be looking to drop somebody

  34. pink.kisses March 23, 2011

    @hell no- but who’s to say he isn’t remorseful, we don’t know what’s going on in his head. I can understand where you’re coming from but @ the same time i find it hard to believe ppl would forgive and forget like no matter what they will stick bring it up and call him names and whatnot. He’s apologized and whether ppl feel it was sincere or not is their business but ultimately the only person who truly deserved an apology was rihanna. who the hell are we tht we deserve an apology from him when we weren’t even in the situation? and i also agree tht he needs to take a break. He needs to find some guidance, and jst relax and calm down

  35. WHITEJESUS March 23, 2011

    window broke itself.

  36. TASHA March 23, 2011

    LMFAO @ MELANIE

    B**** WHAT WOULD YOU RATHER, AN ALBUM THAT’S PUSHING 4 MILLION WORLDWIDE AND WENT #1 ON THE WORLD CHART FOR 4 WEEKS STRAIGHT?

    OR A #1 ALBUM IN THE US THAT WONT DO MUCH WORLDWIDE?

    HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA DUMB B****.

    @PinkKisses OMG pls say it again…I have been saying the same thing for so long it’s a shame. I agree with you 100%!!!! Rihanna’s fans will never let the “incident” go because they feel as tho they deserve some sort of personal apology from Chris Brown… #shame

  40. Kendra March 23, 2011

    Prime example of what being pressed looks like >>>>>@Tasha

  41. pink.kisses March 23, 2011

    @kendra-lol yeah in most ppl’s eyes as soon as those pics were released and chris was found guilty he was done for in their eyes, no amount of remorse or apologizing was going to change tht. And maybe ppl would ‘say’ tht they’re over it and its been forgiven and forgotten but if he made one mistake big or small tht’ll be the first thing they throw in his face. Like no matter what NO ONE is going to forget it. And as far as forgiving ultimately tht isn’t our place but if you choose to dislike him and not support him tht’s fine move on w/ ur life then and quit dwelling on the subject/him.

  42. X,Y,”and Z” March 23, 2011

    @Tasha re:5:40pm —

    The more YOU talk, the HARDER I shove the Plunger.

    ‘Exclusive’ did Platinum World-Wide sales, because it was supported by a (then) World-Wide Tour!

    Breezy recently announced ‘F.A.M.E’ World Tour Concert Dates! (and it included The U.K.)

    Chris Brown/Team-Breezy Family – 1
    Rihanna/Haters/Def_Jam/Racists – 0

    I LOVE Chris, but why would he be acting a fool on the day his album drops on a live television cast? He already has a bad rep, but also has been doing very well for a whole year. Boy, get it together!

    Still love you, and F.A.M.E. is a kick-ass album!!

  44. Keesha March 23, 2011

    Thank you! And I do agree about him saying it’s no big deal. Sometimes you need to be careful about how you say things, and I hope Chris understands that. It’s not about trying to please those who want to see you fail, because I know I definitely wouldn’t do that, but it’s about wanting to get your point across in the best way possible.

  45. kw March 23, 2011

    F.A.M.E. is an amazying album. Absolutely have it on repeat since yesterday.
    Will not speculate on what happened at GMA yesterday. We all know what happens when we assume concerning the sequence of events.

    Will continue to wish him the best and continued success.

  46. StayFreshYaki March 23, 2011

    I am just waiting for him to punch someone else out. Cause he will do it he is a low-life.

  47. kw March 23, 2011

    I am awaiting the day I graduate from college, I am waiting for world peace, I am waiting for the economy to actually pull out of this recession, etc, etc, etc. The last thing I would ever wait for is for physical violence to happen to anyone.

  48. IKNOWTHETRUTH March 23, 2011

    @KEESHA, THANK YOU. @KENDRA, THIS IS A BLOG, SLOW DOWN LOL. HE DID IT, PERIOD. HE NEEDS TO GROW UP. @ X, Y, “AND Z”, #1 DOESN’T MEAN ANYTHING UNLESS THE COMPETITION IS STIFF. JENNIFER HUDSON AND BOBBY VALENTINO AREN’T MUCH COMPETITION BECAUSE THEIR RECORDS AREN’T TOPPING MUCH RIGHT NOW AND THEIR ALBUMS AREN’T HUGE RIGHT ABOUT NOW.

  49. Keesha March 23, 2011

    “I am awaiting the day I graduate from college, I am waiting for world peace, I am waiting for the economy to actually pull out of this recession, etc, etc, etc. The last thing I would ever wait for is for physical violence to happen to anyone.”

    EXACTLY!!!

    @IKnowTheTruth Your welcome! 🙂

  50. Kendra March 23, 2011

    @IDNTKNOSHIT chile #sit so now debuting at #1 is no big deal if you dnt have “stiff” competition pls where you get that from? That dumb box itting on top of your shoulders I guess *kanye shrug*. Funny how everybody been talking for weeks about FAME not selling, how bad Graffitti did yada yada yada but now that it’s been announced that he will have the #1 spot and not only that but is set to outsell the #2 candidate by 100K it’s not a big deal. W/e Chris Brown is #winning….deal with it!

  51. WHITEJESUS March 24, 2011

    an album that’s been bought repeatedly bought by dumb s**** every time i hear ”i got ten copies imma get more tomorrow” lmao dumb s**** get you fifty copies each go right ahead.
