Tending to his all-important legal matters, Chris Brown made an appearance at the Criminal Courts in Los Angeles, California on Thursday (February 18).

Joined by his lawyer, Mark Geragos, the “Kiss Kiss” singer was dressed casually as he eased his way inside for a probation update hearing.

According to TMZ reports, Brown had performed 32 days of hard labor in Virginia, also having attended 17 of his 52 required domestic violence classes.

Making the judge happy with his compliance, Chris was granted an order permitting him to travel out of town between the dates of May 18 to June 27 for concert performances.

While he’s offered up numerous apologies, Chris Brown still thinks that people out there have the wrong idea about him – and he hopes he can clear things up.

“The steps that I’ve taken to show that I’m sorry probably have been perceived wrong,” Brown tells during an interview on The Wendy Williams Show airing on Friday.

Chris Brown’s interview aired on Larry King Live last night where he explained that his relationship with Rihanna was much like Romeo and Juliet’s.

Brown showed up to the interview in a powder blue sweater and bow tie, telling King that after the incident with Rihanna occurred, it was the media that really drove them apart.

The two tried to spend time at Diddy’s mansion in Miami to work things out. During this time Brown interpreted the Romeo and Juliet metaphor, explaining, “It was sort of like Romeo and Juliet story, like both sides not wanting us to kind of have contact so we just got away.”

He also told King that during that time, which he says was the worst time of his life, he and Rihanna were able to rekindle their friendship.

“I’m pretty sure we can always be friends,” he said, “and I don’t know about our relationship, but I just know definitely that we ended as friends.”

He told over and over again that he loved Rihanna. “I’ve said countless times how sorry I am to Rihanna. I accepted full responsibility but it’s just one of those things I wish I could have relieved and just handled totally different.”

There were other moments that he wishes he could go back in time and change, such as the physical anger.

One police said that Brown pushed Rihanna last year and busted the windows of a car in a fit of rage just three weeks before hitting Rihanna.

And though he has a rocky past, Brown says, “I don’t think at the end of the day my career is over.”

Taking to the Los Angeles Criminal Courts building, Chris Brown arrived for formal sentencing in regards to his assault on ex-girlfriend, Rihanna, alongside his lawyer and bodyguards on Tuesday afternoon (August 25).

Wearing a three-piece suit, the “Kiss Kiss” singer was dealt the expected 180 days community labor, which he can perform in his home state of Virginia, as well as felony probation for 60 months.

Scolding Brown for his misdoings, the judge also is making him enroll in a community service program, Commonwealth Catholic Charities, for a 52 week domestic violence program.

With fines and fees totaling just over $5,000, the R&B singer will have a protective order forcing him to stay away from Rihanna for 5 years – as he’s also required to submit DNA samples as requested by authorities.

On a final note, TMZ reports tell that “the judge just said she is aware of the ‘chatter’ on the airwaves (talking about rumors that Brown has been in touch with Rihanna) – adding that she means business and will violate his probation if he dares violate the terms.”

Stepping out for a midday shopping spree, Chris Brown hit up the Urban Outfitters store on Melrose Avenue on Thursday (August 13).

The “Kiss Kiss” stud was with a few friends to pick-up some fresh new gear as he waits to hear his sentencing fate for assaulting onetime girlfriend and R&B singer, Rihanna.

As previously reported by Gossip Center, Chris was due to be sentenced last week, but has had his sentencing delayed while the judge determines if Chris can serve his community labor and probation in the state of Virginia.

Meanwhile, Brown is also making his move to get back into the music world – as he’s featured in a recently released song by Yung called “Choose Me”.

Surrounded by his mother, security staffers and his legal team, Chris Brown was spotted leaving the Los Angeles County Courthouse on Wednesday afternoon (August 5).

Decked out in a fancy designer suit, the R&B singer was there to attend a sentencing hearing – which has been delayed for the time being.

According to AP reports, Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg is awaiting more input from Virginia authorities about whether or not Brown can do community labor in that state – which was requested by his lawyers.

Now set to receive his punishment on August 27, Chris made a plea agreement which calls for five years of probation and six months of community labor for his assault on now ex-girlfriend Rihanna.

He’s been awfully quiet since the February attack on Rihanna, but now Chris Brown has spoken out on a 2-minute homemade video – apologizing along the way.

The newly surfaced video was posted on TMZ earlier today (July 20), with Brown pleading his case, saying, “I cannot go into what happened, and most importantly, I’m not going to sit here and make any excuses. I take great pride in me being able to exercise self-control and what I did was inexcusable. I am very sad and very ashamed of what I’ve done.”

He continued, “I have told Rihanna countless times, and I’m telling you today that I am truly, truly sorry, and I wasn’t able to handle the situation both differently and better.”

The “Kiss Kiss” singer concluded with, “What I did was unacceptable, 100 percent. I can only ask and pray that you forgive me, please. I hope that others learn from my mistakes. I intend to live my life so that I am truly worthy of the term ‘role model.’ Thank you.”

Chris Brown was pleads guilty over his ex-girlfriend Rihanna violence abused. After a closed door court hearing in Los Angeles, California, the rapper was accused of hitting the pop singer and now he is going to get his penalty.

Sources claim Brown will be under 6 months probation, and also ordered to do community services as helping cleaning the dust on the streets and removing graphite draws from the walls.

Get it !

Chris Brown has reached a plea bargain in his felony assault case.

Rihanna did not have to testify.

Chris pleaded guilty to committing felony assault against his pop star ex Rihanna in a brawl last February during a hearing in a Los Angeles courtroom on Monday. According to the crooner’s attorney Mark Geragos, was sentenced to five years of supervised probation, two weeks of domestic violence counseling, and six months (180 days) of community service.

Rihanna entered the Los Angeles courtroom after Chris had left and accepted a stay-away order, which prevents her from having any contact Chris until Aug. 5. Chris Brown must also stay at least 50 feet away from the singer.

The Chris Brown PR blitz continues.

The same weekend as pre-beating, post-coital Brown and Rihanna pics\ found their way online mysteriously, a friend took the opportunity to plug Chris’ new album.

“Chris is very focused,” says songwriter Robert Allen, who is working with Brown on his upcoming record, tentatively titled Graffiti. “He knows how to deal with whatever is going on and is willing to do what he has to do to please his fans.”

Hey, you gotta deal with whatever life throws at you. If peeps hate on you after you battered your girlfriend into a near-coma, you just gotta say f*%k that noise.

As a wise man once said: all the haters … they’s just haters.

Of Brown’s shifting musical style, Allen says “Chris is experimenting and trying a lot of different things. We’ve been making things really eclectic. The direction of this album is really fun and free spirited. It’s like a collage.”

Brown, who had kept a low profile for months, recently broke his silence in a pair of absurd YouTube videos, when he declared, “I ain’t a monster.”

“You want to go away so your audience can miss you some,” Allen says of why Brown has laid low. “But he’s so happy and ready for this next album to break through and make a big impact. He’s predicting this will be his biggest album.”

We’re predicting that he’s still the biggest tool around.
