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…

Music Industry Business Models Battle It Out at Digital Music Forum West

Over 300 Top Music and Digital Industry Leaders to Gather in Hollywood for the Prestigious Annual Event, Oct. 7-8
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 2 /PRNewswire/ —
Digital Media Wire today announced additional speakers and an up-to-date agenda for the most recent edition of the Digital Music Forum West (www.digitalmusicforum.com/west), to be held at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles on October 7-8th, 2009.
Much like the wildly popular TV show, American Idol, this year’s Digital Music Forum West will feature the latest contenders in the ongoing digital music battle to win the hearts and checkbooks of the multi-billion dollar music industry.
While piracy maintains a 95% market share for digital music, it now faces increased competition from free music streaming from the likes of Imeem, MySpace Music, Spotify, and many of their ilk that survive from one VC paycheck to the next in hopes of finding a sustainable business model. Meanwhile, more recently, mobile music iPhone apps that compete indirectly with the iPod/iPhone – were approved by the very company that makes the device.
“By having key stakeholders and players from the industry leading the debate at our event, we aim to help emerging music business models, which have received so much attention and investment, address the chaos and uncertainty rampant in the new music industry to assess the chances of their survival,” said Ned Sherman, CEO of Digital Media Wire. “Everyone knows, it is who you know as much as what you know, and at Digital Music Forum West, any participant can walk away with both.”
The two-day event is the industry’s only comprehensive digital music conference focused on the evolution and future of digital music. The conference agenda, which includes senior participants from all the major labels, leading indie labels, social networks, online music retailers, mobile companies, artists and association heads, includes top keynotes, discussions and panels on topics including mobile apps, the state of the digital union, the future of Internet radio, online video, digital innovation, investments, the digital copyright debates, social networking, music blogs and games and music.
Attendees are over 300 senior decision-makers from record labels, music publishers, producers and distributors, technology companies, wireless companies, rights organizations, industry bodies, radio, advertising, attorneys, artists, investors and venture capitalists.
