Say it ain’t so!
According to reports, Usher and Chris Brown are planning a tour together. Jermaine Dupri and B. Michael Cox let the news slip during a video blog on Aug. 17th.
“Usher and the boy Chris Brown going on tour…y’all know that, right?” Cox said in the video. “They might don’t know that,” Dupri responded. “I might have just gave y’all some exclusive sh*t!” Cox quipped.
I don’t think this is a good idea at all! Chris Brown needs retire from the music business already.
Chris Brown “20/20″ Interview With Robin Roberts Clip
In clips that aired on Good Morning America on Thursday, disgraced singer Chris Brown told ABC News’ Robin Roberts he understands the effects of his violent outburst on ex-girlfriend Rihanna last February, but is “really, like, a little devastated” that some music lovers have pegged him and his public apologies a total sham.
We wonder what give them that idea? Maybe because he’s an idiot?
“I think what it is when people see me smiling and kind of nonchalantly getting answers or, or saying things. It’s — I’m human, really, I’m like really hurting inside,” he said. “And it really kind of like is devastating to me.”
Chris also continued to distance himself from the Rihanna attack.
“I never ever had problems with anger. No, no domestic violence with any of my past girlfriends,” the young star said. “I never was that kind of person. … I look at it, and it’s really, like really difficult. It’s like, ‘How could I be that person?’”
Chris Brown: “The Public Wants Me In Jail.”
Chris Brown is still scared of the public reaction to his assault on ex-girlfriend Rihanna – he’s convinced most people want to see him in jail.
The Kiss Kiss hit-maker pleaded guilty to beating the Bajan beauty after a party in Los Angeles in February and was sentenced to five years probation, community service and ordered to stay away from the singer for the entire probation period.
Brown admits that although most of his fans have stood by him, he fears the general public would prefer to see him sent to prison for the attack.
He tells MTV, “(My fans) love me and support me. (But the public) don’t want to see me do anything… they wanna see me kind of, basically in jail.”
Chris Brown: The Interview will air on Friday – the same day as Rihanna’s TV tell-all on talk show 20/20.”
Poor Ticket Sales For Chris Brown Fan Appreciation Tour
To the surprise of absolutely no one, tickets for Chris Brown’s upcoming Fan Appreciation Tour aren’t selling very well.
Will Breezy be able to put his attack on Rihanna behind him and save his career or will his lady-beating meltdown haunt him “Forever?”
The disgraced former heartthrob is attempting a comeback with his Fan Appreciation Tour, which kicks off at the House of Blues in Houston next week, but Chris still struggles to fill the small venues he’s set to perform in, industry snitches spill to The NY Daily News. Chris’ tepid ticket sales in a direct result of his vicious attack on then-girlfriend Rihanna last February, industry execs tell the paper’s “Gatecrasher Column.”
“This is definitely not the outcome [Chris' label] Jive Records hoped for. Chris lost a lot of fans after he assaulted Rihanna. And after that whole scandal, he’s not exactly kid-friendly. What parent would buy their children tickets to his concert?”
In related news, Chris’ third album Graffiti has been pushed up a week to Dec. 8.
I wonder if he’s going to tweet on his Twitter about all of this?!
Chris Brown Still Has Feelings For Rihanna

Chris Brown has confessed he still has strong feelings for the woman he has been told to stay at least 100 yards away from for the next five years, Rihanna.
The disgraced singer pleaded guilty to assaulting the “Umbrella” hitmaker during a row in February, and he has been told to keep his distance as part of his punishment. But the “Kiss Kiss” star admits he’s still in love with his ex.
Speaking about life after the fight and subsequent legal woes on New York radio station Hot 97 on Wednesday, Brown told DJ Angie Martinez, “We’ve been friends since I was like 15, we got serious when I was, like, 17. Feelings are feelings and they don’t go away overnight, especially if you sit down and be like, ‘Look, I’m (going to) really be in this relationship with you, past whatever the case, past our busy schedules, past us being two of the biggest artists.’ I really care about her.”
Chris Brown Tries To Rain On Rihanna’s Parade

Shortly after Rihanna released her new single ‘Russian Roulette’, Chris Brown tried to steal the spotlight by announcing his Fan Appreciation tour. Classy.
Today, Brown went on air with New York’s Hot 97 The Angie Martinez show and reminded all of us why he’s such a great guy after beating up his ex-girlfriend Rihanna. Can you sense my sarcasm?
Brown offered different excuses as to why he beat up Rihanna, but offered no real explanation other than, “I regret every second of it. I’m human.”
Human? It’s human to beat the one you love? I don’t think so.
Brown went on to say that he’s still mad at Oprah, too. After all he’s done with her, when he needed a helping hand, she wasn’t there. Is this guy serious?! You’re an adult, Chris. No one’s going to baby you for the rest of your life. Grow up and act like a man.
Brown promised to continue counseling and said he’d never hit a woman again.
Let’s hope he really means it…
