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.”

Still plugging away on his latest project, Robert Pattinson was spotted walking to and from the “Remember Me” set in New York City on Monday (July 20).

With a severely bruised and bloody face, the “Twilight” hunk was joined on the day’s shoot by co-star Emilie de Ravin, as well as “007” stud Pierce Brosnan, with the cast working in a building near Grand Central Station.

Meanwhile, Rob is scheduled to fly out for Comic-Con in San Diego, CA, provided he finishes up work on his new movie this week, as planned.

Expected to make his first appearance at Comic-Con on Thursday, the 23-year-old is rumored to be teaming up with “New Moon” co-star Kristen Stewart for promotional duties.

Blake Fielder-Civil – who was granted a preliminary stage of divorce for the Grammy-winning star last Thursday – believes he is entitled to a multimillion settlement from Amy because he inspired much of her critically-acclaimed 2006 album Back to Black.
Amy wrote the top-selling album after Blake cheated on her with his ex-girlfriend. The pair later reconciled and married in May 2007 – without a prenup.

“Amy did write ‘Back to Black’ when Blake left her, but why on earth should he be getting a dime for making her feel so bad?” a source has revealed to News of The World.

“She was at her lowest ebb when she wrote that album. It’s like saying that the man who writes a book about his murdered wife should give the murderer some of the profits. It’s an absolutely ridiculous request.”

Amy, 25, is said to be furious over Blake’s money demands.

In total shock over the tragic events of late, Madonna arrived in Marseille with Lourdes Leon and Mercy James on Sunday (July 19).

Speaking about the deaths and injuries resulting from stage work in the French city, Madonna said, "My prayers go out to those who were injured and their families along with my deepest sympathy to all those affected by this heartbreaking news."

Reports tell that a lighting technician named Charles Criscenzo died immediately onstage, while Charles Prow died shortly after at a hospital.

In the wake of the tragedy, Madonna’s concert in Marseille was canceled, with plans of picking back up in Barcelona on July 21.

Meanwhile, Miss Cavallari recently chatted with MTV news about her work on "The Hills," insisting the show is anything but fake.

She tells, "Everyone’s going to have an opinion. And everyone’s going to think what they want. You can’t really change that, so …"

Continuing on about the difference between working on movies and reality television, Kristin explains, "It’s definitely different. I love being on set and being in a movie. I think it’s so much fun. I really, really love it. And the ‘Hills’ or ‘Laguna Beach’ is more like hanging out with people you know, rather than acting and memorizing lines and stuff."

Having just arrived back home in London, Katie Price stepped out for a wild night on the town in the UK capital city on Saturday (July 18).

Aside from partying it up, recent reports tell that Miss Price has been offered a presenting role on Loose Women following Jackie Brambles’s decision to quit.

A source told press, "Katie is ITV through and through. She gave her first interview after the marriage split to Piers Morgan on ITV and she’s been a smash on ITV2 with her various shows with Peter."

The insider added: "In many ways, Katie is the opposite of Fern Britton and would certainly mix things up. Fern’s close to agreeing to sharing the job with someone and it’s looking like that someone is Katie."

Showing up at Nathan’s son’s birthday party, Chad’s co-star Sophia Bush told press, “It was really funny to see every guy lose his mind. When he walked on set, camera equipment was getting dropped and people rushed in. The grips, who don’t care about anything were like, ‘Oh my God, Jerry Rice!’ People went nuts. And I was like, ‘This is man world. We’ve entered a man cave.’"

A huge memorial happened on July 7 for Michael Jackson that brought friends and family. But who wasn’t there that had people surprised? Janet Jackson’s long time boyfriend, Jermaine Dupri.

One friend of the music producer claims he just “doesn’t attend funerals,” however, it sounds like the two have gone to splitsville.

“They have been moving in different directions for a while,” one source says.

The couple was together for a good seven years, but a pal of the two says, “You shouldn’t mix business with pleasure. Janet felt their lives were too crossed and they should have kept things separate.”

And although sometimes opposites do attract, this was not the case. "Jermaine likes to be out there, mingling with everybody, and Janet’s more shy. In the meantime, Janet is heavily mourning over her brother’s death. She’s devastated," an insider says. "She’s busy caring for Michael’s kids. Janet’s the family’s backbone."
