Chris Brown to taint the memory of the late Aaliyah with a song collaboration

You know I don’t like to talk about Chris Brown unless it’s super-important. Well, I’m breaking one of my own rules here. These are photos of Chris yesterday at the BET Awards 2013 press conference at Icon Ultra Lounge. Chris’s outfit was… um… odd? At first I only saw him from the waist up, and I thought he was just wearing a leather vest as a top, and I was all “Chris Brown is a Village Person.” But there’s a sleeveless t-shirt under there, and the camo pants are doing their part too. This ensemble is just awful, right? I guess he wanted to show off his ink, but instead of looking arty and hip, he looks like a would-be leather-daddy on stroll.

At the BET press conference, Chris announced that his next single off of his new album (“X”) will be called “They Don’t Know”. And it’s a collaboration! With the late artist Aaliyah. God, remember Aaliyah? I loved her. She had a great, sultry voice. RIP Aaliyah! Apparently, Chris got his hands on previously unreleased vocals from Aaliyah (and hopefully he got permission from her estate?), thus the “collabo”. Chris has already shot the music video too, and he said at the BET presser: “I shot it in the hood. I went to the Cedar Block. Bringing both worlds together and trying to uplift the poverty side of the community and show them where I’m from. I’m from Virginia, but everybody comes from a broken home or being broke. I remember when I was.” Ugh.

Meanwhile, have you heard the story about Chris’s Hollywood Hills home and how he painted colorful “monster murals” on the walls? Here’s a photo:

So what would you do if your neighbor did that? If it was Chris Brown… well, I would probably try to ignore it. But some neighborhood moms are pissed at him because the monsters are scaring their kids:

The monsters painted on Chris Brown’s house might scare some children in his Hollywood Hills neighborhood — but not all of them.

“My kids think they’re really cool,” Melissa Harrington said of her 6-year-old twins. “They’re pretty excited about it.” Harrington, who lives a five-minute walk away from the pop star, called the murals “colorful” and “cute.”

“Look at the paint job on his cars. They’re works of art,” she said. “What style of art are you going to paint on a modern home like that?”

Brown drew complaints from other neighbors — along with a citation from the city — after he painted the 8-foot tall, brightly colored creatures on a retaining wall and along the side of his concrete-and-steel-and-glass home. Patti Negri, head of the Hollywood Dell Civic Assn., told the Los Angeles Times that she had gotten numerous complaints from residents.

“There are lots of babies, lots of children, and they’re literally frightened,” she said. “It’s like devils on the wall — big scary eyes and big scary teeth, and just the whole vibe is not what we’re used to.”

Responding to complaints about the monster art, L.A. city code officials cited Brown for unpermitted and excessive signage and ordered him to remove the art within 30 days. He also faces fines that start at $376 but could rise significantly if he fails to comply.

“They jump right out at you. They aren’t just at the curb by the bins. It is all the way up the side of the house,” said L.A. City Councilman Tom LaBonge, whose district includes Brown’s colorful abode.

Negri said neighbors have also complained about Brown’s loud parties, large entourages and fast cars.

“Chris himself did not warm himself to the neighborhood when he first got here, so this is kind of the straw that broke the camel’s back,” she said.

Harrington said plenty of celebrities have lived in the area — including Eva Longoria, Lil’ Jon and Lindsay Lohan — bringing paparazzi and lots of cars, and added that her non-famous neighbors also throw big parties and speed through the narrow streets.
“It’s not just necessarily in fancy cars or Chris Brown,” she said.

Brown’s attorney, Mark Geragos, said Brown has more to fear from his neighbors than the other way around.

“I’m scared of neighborhood busybodies like this,” Geragos told The Times. “They’ve called animal control. They have sicced parking [enforcement] on him, and now they reached the heights of ridiculousness here. Shame on them.” Geragos said the city can expect a legal fight over the artwork, calling it an attempt “to suspend the 1st Amendment.”

Brown responded to critics via Twitter, saying “imma paint until my hands fall off.”

“It’s art,” he tweeted Saturday. “There are scarier creatures on Harry potter. Get a … life!”

Harrington noted Brown isn’t the only resident with an unusual paint job.

“Behind our house is a house with pink-and-yellow stripes,” she said. “Chris Brown can see it out of his window if he looks across the canyon. … If you really don’t like the murals, then call in that pink-and-yellow one he has to look at every day. Don’t just persecute the guy,” she said.

[From LA Times]

“Persecute”? Seriously? Are we going to cry “persecution” every time some d-bag gets a fine from the city code people? As for the monster art… I can see how it would scare young children, but I can also see how it’s a slippery First Amendment issue. What if the “public art” was something more traditionally beautiful? What if he graffiti’d butterflies and baby ducks onto his wall? Would there still be complaints? If those complaints went away if the art was cuter, then I think Chris has a decent case.

Chris Brown confirms Rihanna split: ‘I can’t be wife-ing someone that young’

Chris Brown

Ah, young love — so naive, so immature, and (in the case of Chris Brown and Rihanna) so violent and tiresomely repetitious. It was only a few months ago that Rihanna was spending her Piscean birthday in Hawaii with Breezy, and Chris was soon so overcome with joy at their reunion that he was delivering expletive-filled rants on how to keep “a bad bitch” in line. Romantic, right?

Well, the good times didn’t last long at all. Soon enough, word on the street was that Chris was fooling around with a beautiful waitress, and then he and Rihanna were quickly at odds, which was confirmed when he threw a major fit and unfollowed her on Twitter after Chris stalked Rihanna’s profile and saw that she was following Drake. Last weekend, Chris partied with Karrueche Tran at his birthday party while Rihanna was in NYC, and now Chris has officially confirmed that he and RiRi are “off again”:

Rihanna

Shocker! Once again, Chris Brown and Rihanna have parted ways, romantically speaking — so said Brown during a recent interview with Australian radio show The Kyle and Jackie Show.

The “Don’t Wake Me Up” crooner, who turned 24 on Sunday, May 5, was detailing his multiple birthday celebrations (in L.A., Las Vegas and NYC) when he was asked about his chronically on-again, off-again love Rihanna, 25.

“Imma do it solo,” he said, citing his erstwhile girlfriend’s touring schedule, compounded by his own full slate. “I mean, at the end of the day, shawty doing her own thang, she on the road. It’s always gonna be love. I’m a grown man, just gotta fast forward.”

The love’s certainly not gone, he reiterated, but personal and professional commitments make the relationship too difficult right now, he said. “I’m always gonna love that person. I can’t be focused on wife-ing someone that young. I need to be the best Chris Brown I can be,” he explained.

Indeed, Brown reunited with his other on-and-off love, Karrueche Tran, during his birthday bash in Hollywood last Friday — but, alas, according to an onlooker, “He didn’t appear to be paying much attention to her and was partying around a lot of girls.”

Adds a source close to Rihanna of the latest split: “Of course tomorrow they could be all over each other again, but for now she’s done and just living her life and touring. It’s how it always is.”

[From Us Weekly]

Hmm, I hate to say it, but Chris makes a tiny bit of sense in his claims that both he and Rihanna are too young to be married, which is a particularly shocking thing to hear from the mouth of a dude who acts like he’s 12 years old at any given moment. That’s probably the smartest thing he’s ever said, and hopefully being “the best Chris Brown I can be” means that he’ll never hit a woman ever again. One can only hope.

Basically, it sounds like Chris and Rihanna have merely stopped being girlfriend and boyfriend, but they’ll probably hook up again in a few weeks or months, and hopefully, no one will be surprised at this development.

Chris Brown partied with Karrueche Tran (not Rihanna) on his birthday

Chris Brown

These are photos of Chris Brown celebrating his twenty-fourth birthday at Oak in Vegas on Friday night, and he’s wearing a jacket that vaguely resembles an overpriced version of Bradley Cooper’s sweats-with-trash-bag uniform in Silver Linings Playbook. While I always snicker just a little bit when a full-fledged adult throws a (non-milestone) birthday party for himself, I guess Chris really doesn’t act like an adult, and the Mirage undoubtedly paid him to party there. Evidently, Chris can’t hold his liquor either (no surprise there) because the next morning, he proudly tweeted, “Do too wasted at the party. Threw up crazy!! Lol!

Mostly, this story is an excuse for me to post photos of Rihanna’s new extreme-ombre hair extensions (shown at the bottom of this post), but it’s also somewhat noteworthy because Rihanna did not attend Chris’ party for various reasons, including but not limited to the following: (1) They’re off again, and he’s stalking her Instagram to the point where he figured out within hours that she followed Drake; (2) She was on tour in NYC all weekend; or (3) Both. Who was present at Chris’ party? Karrueche Tran. Naturally:

Chris Brown

With Rihanna in New York City on her Diamonds World Tour, Chris Brown celebrated his birthday at Emerson nightclub in Hollywood … with ex Karrueche Tran in attendance.

We’re told Karrueche — Chris’ other on-again/off-again girlfriend — was invited by Chris himself to the party to celebrate Chris turning 24. Our sources say the two still talk often and hang out, and that she still cares about Chris very much.

Here’s to hoping some combination of these crazy kids can make it work.

[From TMZ]

I sort of wish that Karrueche realized that Chris is probably only using her to get back at Rihanna, but I also think that any woman who dates Chris should damn well realize what she’s getting herself into as a matter of course. That is, being with Chris means that one not only subjects herself to periodic rejection when he inevitably gets back with RiRi but also that any association with him is physically dangerous as well.

Meanwhile, Rihanna is showing off her unusually long hair extensions in New York, and she shared a few photos on Instagram. The Mail also has some courtside views so you can see just how long these suckers really are. These extensions really are too much, right? The two-toned look is far too drastic as well. Rihanna can get away with almost any look, but not this one.

Chris Brown quit following Rihanna’s Twitter after she followed Drake’s Instagram

Rihanna

If there was every any doubt that Hollywood is simply an exaggerated version of high school, then look no further than this sampling of Rihanna’s recently Instagrammed pictures as well as Chris Brown’s childish behavior in response to almost anything. This time around, Chris is throwing a hissy fit because — according to Life & Style, which somehow keeps tabs on things like this — Rihanna decided to follow Drake on Instagram, and she did so at 3 a.m. on Saturday morning. Apparently Chris pays way too much attention to who his lady follows because he logged on the next day to his Twitter account and stopped following Rihanna’s tweets. Such drama, right?

Rihanna

It cracks me up that Chris can’t handle his girlfriend following his rival on Instagram, but I guess he’s still all sore about he and Drake’s NYC nightclub brawl last summer. Supposedly, Rihanna and Drake were doing the deed in 2010 when Rihanna was smart enough to not be talking to Chris, and apparently Chris still feels threatened by Drake.

Chris Brown

So I guess maybe Chris and Rihanna are officially “off” again, which should make his dad happy. Over the weekend, Clinton Brown spoke with the NY Daily News about how he didn’t want Chris to date Rihanna any longer: “You have to have a balance in a relationship. You have to have someone who is spontaneous and whimsical but you also have to have someone who is grounded and logical.” Clinton also expressed worry that this relationship would end in tragedy, which is interesting since it’s widely speculated that Chris grew up in a violence-filled home. For what it’s worth, Chris and Rihanna have reportedly blown off Clinton’s advice because “not everybody is going to get their love.” Of course, that love can be shattered by something as little as Rihanna following Drake on Instagram, which is too silly for words.

Here are some photos of Breezy painting a mural on the side of a building last Friday in Miami. He’ll never realize how damn ridiculous he looks with his ass hanging out of his pants.

Is Chris Brown fooling around on Rihanna with a ‘beautiful NY waitress’?

Chris Brown is currently promoting his new album, and he’s been traveling and doing interviews and making appearances… and surprisingly enough, it doesn’t seem like Chris’s girlfriend Rihanna is following him around. It’s been a while since I looked at Rihanna’s Instagram, but I just checked it and it’s been forever and a day since she Instagram’d a photo of Chris, and she even seems to be back to making pointed comments about the state of the relationship. If I had to guess, I would say that despite Chris’s claims that they’re still together, he and Rihanna are back to “off” in their relationship. So that makes this story not so shocking:

There could be a reason that Rihanna wasn’t with Chris Brown in court Friday — sources tell us he’s been “hanging out with a beautiful New York waitress.” We hear Brown hit it off with stunning server Karizma Ramirez at Finale when he visited the club Easter weekend.

A source said, “They hit it off and headed out together. They also spent Easter Sunday together.”

Despite this, Brown said he and Rihanna are still together during a “Today” interview that aired April 1.

On Friday, Brown sat in court as lawyer Mark Geragos met with an LA County Superior Court judge behind closed doors in the probation-violation case. The judge ordered Brown back June 10 because lawyers need more time for “additional discovery.”

Prosecutors accuse Brown of not completing 180 days of community labor ordered when he pleaded guilty to felony assault in his infamous Rihanna beating. Geragos has argued that the prosecutor’s wrong and Brown’s been “tortured” during his probation. Brown’s mother was in court Friday, but Rihanna, who attended his last court date, was not.

[From Page Six]

Yeah. I’ve lost count of how many times Rihanna and Chris have broken up and gotten back together, and at this point, I know it’s not even close to the end with them. That being said, I do think they’re probably “off” right now and it probably does have something to do with Chris and this waitress. Or it could have something to do with how immature both of them are.

Here are some photos of Rihanna at the Lakers game last night:

Chris Brown on ‘Today’: he’s learned how to ‘forgive himself’ & apologize

Chris Brown appeared on the Today Show yesterday to promote his new album, and there are some issues. Thankfully, Chris didn’t slam a chair into a window, nor did he get in someone’s face and threaten to kill someone. So… progress? Except not so much. Matt Lauer asked Chris specifically about what he learned from beating the hell out of Rihanna and getting a slap on the wrist for it. To give Lauer some credit, he wasn’t ass-kissy at all and he gave Chris enough room to throw out some crazy quotes. Lauer gets right into it like less than one minute into the interview:

Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

When Lauer asked Chris about the Rihanna situation, Brown says: “I’ve been humbled by the whole experience. From me losing everything, you know, to me having to regain public opinion or whatever it is — but most importantly, you know, knowing that what I did was totally wrong and having to kind of deal with myself and kind of forgive myself in the same breath and being able to apologize to, you know, Rihanna and be that man that can be who is a man, you know?” I love how he lists forgiving himself before apologizing to Rihanna. Priorities!

When Lauer asked specifically about how Chris doesn’t seem to have changed that much, that Chris still has a short fuse and he’s always getting into violent situations, Chris says: “I think everybody is entitled to their opinion. For me, it’s just a learning process. You know, I have to just take it one day at a time. I can’t make everybody like me … it’s about me being positive.” Chris also says “everything’s good” about Rihanna.

I have to admit… while I don’t buy that Chris is a “changed man” or that he learned any lesson other than “if you almost kill your girlfriend, you can still win her back AND keep your fans AND sell albums,” this is one of his best interviews to date, just on how prepared he was. If I didn’t know any better and if I hadn’t been writing about his violent douche eruptions for the past few years, I might have been taken in. Chris had his talking points down and it seems like he’s worked with some kind of image consultant to learn how to adopt a less aggressive public posture. I’m not saying that Chris’s statements were close to being acceptable or anything, I’m just saying that he’s been prepped and it shows.

But that hasn’t stopped Team Breezy idiots (yeah, I said it) from coming out of the woodwork to defend their man from the demon known as Matt Lauer. Lauer is actually getting it from both sides too – Team Breezy is all “OMG, Lauer asked Chris about beating Rihanna, Lauer is awful!!” And anti-domestic violence advocates are nit-picking the language Lauer used when questioning Chris. Matt Lauer is a man without a country at this point. Nothing he does will ever be enough.

Chris Brown: I’m ‘eternally grateful’ Rihanna forgave me, now buy my new single

Chris Brown

Guess who’s back? It’s Upstanding Citizen Chris Brown, who just happens to be the same guy who recently described the night he beat up Rihanna as “the greatest regret of my life” (even though he never bothered to complete his community service). I should have figured that when Chris said this carefully rehearsed phrase, he must have been promoting some new music. Sure enough, Chris is now promoting his new single, “Fine China,” which drops on April 1. Then he’ll keep doing publicity for his upcoming sixth album, X, which he describes as follows: “X is about life, it’s about me. X is the 24th letter of the alphabet, and I’ll be 24 when it comes out. When you see X on a vial, it’s like forbidden fruit. For me, it means being able to express myself without a filter, without boundaries.” Strange … I never realized that Chris ever had a filter since he’s usually so busy throwing tantrums.

Still, Upstanding Citizen Chris Brown has returned to the premises, and he would like us to forget all about his guidelines for “keeping a bad bitch in line” because he has a record to sell. In 2009, Chris freaked out because stores refused to carry his records after he beat the holy hell out of Rihanna, and he’s not about to let that happen again. As such, he appeared on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show to talk about how “eternally grateful” he is that Rihanna forgave him, and he’s trying to explain away the “raging at a valet” incident too. Here are some excerpts:

Chris Brown

On winning back fans: “People are entitled to their opinions. I can’t go around blaming. It’s all about my responsibility and me growing up as a man. So I think now that I’m becoming older, and trying to mature in this life under the public eye at all times, I have to focus on doing the right thing and being more of a humble individual.”

His greatest lesson is “you can lose it all”: “I’m not just saying fame or stardom because that’s not what it’s about. I’m talking about dignity [and] integrity. You know, you lose yourself in a way. So that process of me having to deal with any trials and tribulations I went through at that time, it was a learning step for me. Everything was learning, and I learned from certain mistakes, and I’m getting better as the days come.”

Was his youth to blame for his violent ways? “I could put that on my age but that would just be making an excuse. I think for me that at age 18, 19 I was capable of writing and producing songs, so I’m also capable of making the right choices. So I think it’s about a learning process now. Being at that young age I can tell you I was arrogant and definitely hotheaded. Everybody has a temper, but for me it was not knowing how to control it when I thought I had the world in my hands.”

On Rihanna’s forgiveness: “Ijust tried my best to be the best man I could be over the years and just show her how remorseful and sorry I was for the incident and that time was probably the worst part of my life and being that she has and she’s a wonderful person I’m eternally grateful and thankful.”

He & Ri are in a better place now: “It’s still like we’re kids. I try not to be too grown and be like, ‘Lets have candlelight dinner every night.’ I try to make sure everything is fun. It has to be fun and it has to be genuine.”

About that valet situation: “Okay so I can elaborate on the situation. By all means, I’m a great tipper. Ten dollars is not a problem…[it] was five dollar parking at the place…but before we went in, I gave the man $100 dollars. We had two cars. It’s five dollar parking. Okay, do the math. So when we came out he was like, ‘You know what? We need $20 for each car.’ And I said, ‘Sir, I just gave you $100.’ So he was like, ‘No, no we need $10.’ So he was just going around trying to see if he could get more money and I was like, ‘no,’ so by that time it was a situation.”

On Instagram & Twitter: “Both [are a blessing and a curse]…for me now I’m not as hands on as I used to be. I totally deleted my Instagram and I get on Twitter every now and then to touch base with my fans because I love my fans. But sometimes when you’re a young kid and you have impulsive techniques you kind of get like, ‘Arghhh! I can’t stand you.’ People love [Twitter wars], they eat it up, so I’d rather not feed them that.”

[From On Air with Ryan Seacrest]

I find it amusing that Chris is now pretending to take the high road when it comes to Twitter wars considering he’s freaked out at everyone and deleted his account not once but twice. Then again, this is the “new” Chris, who is only around to promote his new single and upcoming album. After the first week of release, he’ll probably end up in another bar fight. Just wait for it to happen.

Here are some audio clips (with slide shows) from Breezy’s appearance on Seacrest’s show — in case you want to hear his insincerity instead of just reading about it.

Is Rihanna ‘hooking up’ with Dane Cook to get back at ‘cheater’ Chris Brown?

Rihanna

Just the very headline of this story might have made you roll your eyes in a “bitch, please!” sort of manner, but this story seems believable to me in a very strange way. That is, we all know that Rihanna has terrible taste in men. I mean, one only needs to consider that she’s completely hooked on Chris Brown even though he beat the holy hell out of her a few years ago and hasn’t even shown the slightest bit of remorse or even bothered to complete his community service in a legit manner. If you can even look past the dude’s violent tendencies and well-documented behavior, then there’s the fact that Chris has been regularly stepping out on Rihanna with Karrueche Tran for quite some time now, and that trend won’t be stopping anytime soon.

Now the Enquirer has a new story that says Rihanna has found a way to get back at Chris for cheating on her with Karrueche and various other women. She’s allegedly getting down with Dane Cook backstage after his shows and at her home. Do you find it hard to believe that Rihanna would be attracted to a misogynistic douche like Dane? I don’t. Here’s the story:

Dane Cook

Rihanna has found a way to get back at her two-timing bad-boy beau Chris Brown by hooking up with comedian Dane Cook!

The gorgeous “We Found Love” singer and the quirky comic have been friends for years, and their riendship has heated up in recent months because Rihanna wants to show Chris Brown that she’s still a hot commodity, say sources.

Rihanna met Dane after watching one of his shows andt he Laugh Factory, and they got along so well that RiRi now tries to chatch his act whenever she’s in town, the sources add.

“They hang out in Dane’s dressing room and sometiems he goes back to her Pacific Palisades home to party,” revealed an insider. “They flirt like crazy, and Dane regularly sends Rihanna flowers and gushy emails.

“Rihanna’s friends all think they’re carrying on a romance, but she’s very secretive about it. She wants to keep everyone guessing, especially Chris.”

RIhanna, 25, and Chris, 23, began dating in early 2008 but split a year later afte rhe savagely beat her during an argument in his car. Chris was charged with felony assault. By the end of 2012, the pair had reuinited, but at the time Chris was still involved with aspiring fashion designer Karrueche Tran.

“Rihanna was hurt by Chris constantly cheating on her after they reconnected,” the insider continued. “He kept running back to Karrueche and also picking up groupies in nightclubs.” Meanwhile, Dane “makes her laugh and always leaves her feeling upbeat and good about herself.”

Chris suspects there may be something going on between Rihana and Dane, 41, and the two have gotten into “horrible screaming matches” about it. But Rihanna’s loving every minute of it, says the source. “The only thing she likes more than male attention is drama. She loves having Dane and Chris chasing after her at the same time.”

[From Enquirer, print edition, April 1, 2013]

You know, it’s a sad day when Dane Cook looks better than another suitor, but he definitely wins over Chris Brown in my book because Dane might specialize in sexist, disgusting, unfunny jokes, but at least he’s never punched a woman. He did sort of tweet on the topic last year: “The only time domestic violence is acceptable is in the movie Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Then it’s just master assassin-tastic!” So yes, the dude isn’t funny, but considering that I’d prefer Rihanna with almost anyone but Chris Brown, I say she should go for the uberdouche instead.

Here are some photos of Chris on the set of his new video about a week ago. Look at how he runs! It’s like he has hot sauce in his pants, and he’s learning forward like that so it doesn’t drip on his sparkling white shoes.

Chris Brown gives expletive-filled rant on how to keep ‘a bad bitch’ in line

Chris Brown

Chris Brown must have decided to take an extended break from his upstanding-citizen act after he completely blew it last week by flying into a rage at a valet over a $10 parking charge. For whatever reason (sheer stupidity?) Chris decided to push a DJ aside and give a little speech at the Emerson Theater in Hollywood in the wee hours of Thursday morning, and naturally, someone shot some video of the incident. TMZ has the exclusive clip, which is terribly NSFW and includes Brown’s take on how to keep “a bad bitch” (i.e., Rihanna) in line. Here’s the text of his revolting rant:

“Every guy in this building has said one thing to their female … If you’re not an insecure n*****, and you let her have fun with her friends, I applaud you. But you gotta say that one thing to her, and I made this s**t up. [sings] Don’t make me have to tell you again, that that’s my p***y baby! It is mine, baby, babe, mine. So you better not give it away! … So every person in this motherf***ing building, if you got a bad bitch you better say that to her. Cause she might f**k another n*****.”

[From TMZ]

The really sad part of all this? Rihanna actually likes being treated in this manner. She actually gets off on this nastiness, and it apparently doesn’t matter if Chris is giving his version of “it” away to Karrueche Tran, but Rihanna had better not do the same! These two so-called lovers are the worst, aren’t they? Rihanna wants this though, and so I guess she’s gotta have it. Incidentally, RiRi cancelled her Sunday night Boston concert due to a case of laryngitis. Let’s hope she didn’t contract the ailment as the result of a screaming match with Chris.

Chris Brown flew into a rage at a valet over a $10 charge. At a charity event.

At times, I’m hyper-aware of using Chris Brown as part and parcel of the destructive stereotype of “the angry, violent young black man.” It IS a horrible stereotype, and I do think that if Chris Brown was a white man who nearly murdered his white girlfriend (or really any variation on race), the coverage of Chris would be much, much different. But there’s another problem I have: Chris continues to act like a dude with significant rage and violence issues. When is the coverage playing into a horrible stereotype and when is it simply reporting on this young man’s significant issues? Anyway, here’s the latest – Chris Brown raged at a valet because of a mandatory $10 charge. At a charity event.

Chris Brown turned his anger issues on a valet parker at a bowling alley in L.A. last night … cussing at the guy over the $10 service charge … and TMZ caught the whole thing on tape. It all went down at PINZ bowling alley in Studio City … where CB had been attending a charity event with his posse.

But when Chris went to get his car from the valet, the guy working the parking lot asked for the $10 charge … and Chris got PISSED.

After the valet made it clear he couldn’t release the car without the cash … the singer and his posse surrounded the guy … and at one point you can hear Chris say, “F*ck ten dollars.”

Sources at the scene tell us Brown was angry because he was only at the event for 30 minutes and felt like he was getting ripped off by the valet. As tensions grew, someone in Chris’ posse can be heard saying. “We got the money … don’t worry about it.”

But Chris DID worry about it … and in a threatening manner, told the valet, “We gonna turn this whole thing on out.”

A short time later, Brown shouted a last insult at the valet … it sounded like he said, “Funk ass ten dollars” … before walking away with his posse.

Brown ultimately got his keys and drove off — it’s unclear if he ever paid the $10 fee.

[From TMZ]

I’m including the video below – you can see Chris getting in the valet’s face and raising his voice at this poor minimum wage worker who probably (definitely) doesn’t set the mandatory gratuity price. If it was me… I would have complained about a $10 charge, but I’m cheap and I don’t make as much money as Chris. Considering how much money he makes and the fact that he was only parked in that lot because he was at a CHARITY EVENT, perhaps he could have just dealt with it with a raised eyebrow and a droll, “Really? Ten dollars? Highway robbery, dude.” Chris just has that hair-trigger temper and it has nothing to do with race and everything to do with his significant anger issues.
