Chris Brown Wants To Be Like Paris
Apparently Chris Brown is under the impression that wherever Paris Hilton goes she is loved and adored and mobbed by fans. Therefore in an order to restore what he can of his reputation he has hired Mike Sitrick who is Paris' mouthpiece. Sitrick is the man responsible for that lame ass apology that Brown foisted off onto the world yesterday which was universally disliked. I mean when Gayle King says it isn't enough, then you know you know you have an audience for what you are saying and you better say it right.
Sitrick is an interesting choice because Paris is the one Brown was supposedly getting texts from when Rihanna flipped out. Sitrick is also the guy who said to say that Chris had not released all that stuff on Facebook and other comments because obviously calling the woman you allegedly beat and disease carrying tramp is not exactly going to win very many points.
Instead of Chris hiring a publicist that no one even likes in the press he should just save all his money and let it build and build because honestly he is never going to work again. Oh, sure he might get to be a producer for someone in 10 years but he will never get to be a singer again. Who is going to give him money to perform? He just needs to shut up and fade away. There is nothing to spin. No matter what you say you are going to look like an ass.

That reminds me. I hope you are going to talk about how Paris equates herself with Marilyn Monroe and Princess Di.
I think Chris and Paris should hook up and both go far, far away never to be seen again.
wait...isn't Mike Sitrick the really orange publicist? the one w/ the bad tan-slash-"costume makeup" dude?
LMAO!!!
Welcome back Enty. Your comments sound just like Roger Friedman's from this morning:
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,493464,00.html
Yes, the Facebook comments couldn't possibly be his, because how could you go from being all texty-chatty with Paris Hilton to calling Rihanna a disease-carrying tramp?
"He just needs to shut up and fade away."
YES!
And the Presumption of Innocence takes another hit.
Valentine, he admitted to hitting her.
From a professional standpoint there is ONLY one thing to focus on in this situation.
The victim has to admit that they were abused.
The victim has to press charges until the person is convicted and justice is served.
If the victim doesn't do what is mentioned above then any comment from a spectator (family, media, fans, bloggers) is just hype.
The accused will not believe/understand that this is a real issue if the victim does not prosecute and hold them accountable EVERY Time they try to abuse them from this day forward.
So it is nice to express our opinions but they don't hold water if Rihanna doesn't do her part to take care of herself.
mooski...what did he say ? That he HIT her? really ? didnt' see that one ?? (not that i don't believe you my gossip queen@@)
I just hope the penal system in the US is better than it is in Canada. Domestic abuse here is a dealt with a "tsk, tsk, promise to be a good boy from now on" scolding & the criminal record, if any, cannot be brought into future abuse cases until a judge decides his next & future abuse sentence, NOT during trial. WTF? (there is always repeat offences)
Rest of rant got cut off:
My 70 year old mother had the crap beat out of her by her boyfriend. It was his 4th similar offence against other women. He was sentanced to 'anger management' & "no contact".
@Not on my dollar: I thought it was the procecutor who decides to bring the case to the courts & press charges, not the victim? I was under this assumption that it was similar to Canada because of DA stating they "needed more evidence to take it to court & that RiRi was not co-operating" (or something like that?)This protocal is supposed to allow charges to be pressed, even if victim is to 'timid' to stand up for rights? Maybe I've watched too much L&O.
Doesn't R. Kelly still work? This guy, unfortunately, will still be around.
Dollar, didn't the OJ situation help change the laws in CA regarding an alleged victim having to testify against the acuser?
If there are pictures of her wounds and witnesses at the scene, would that be enough to convict?
Canadachick, he didn't say anything specific about what happened, but his apology seems to be a pretty clear admission that he did hit her.
"Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired. I am seeking the counseling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones and I am committed, with God’s help, to emerging a better person."
For everyone wondering about the DA pressing charges without the help of the victim ... the DA can choose to do so if they have sufficient evidence to bring chargers and successfully prosecute. A victim can also seek and assist with prosecution of these types of crimes. However, if the victim does not cooperate with police/prosecutors and there is little factual evidence of what actually happened, not just that someone got a beat down, prosecutors may choose not to press certain charges if they can't make the case. There are a lot of unknowns on this one at this point.
Thanks Indigo!
@kimpim and califblondy, I just doubled checked the facts with someone who currently works in the field. I used to work in this field but have since changed direction.
Yes if there is enough evidence they can prosecute without the victim's consent.
Anyone who worked in this field will tell you that this is an accomplishment because the offender is no longer in a position to harm anyone but it is not an entire victory.
We are always frustrated and sad when victims choose not to follow through to the end.
It means the victim is still a victim and therefore this could happen again.
So until I hear from Rihanna that she admits she's been abused and the steps that she's taken to make sure it doesn't reoccur I'll hold off on commenting about her "recovery".
Also from a personal standpoint I've seen several people who were victims live with it until the abuser died. To the victim that was a victory that they outlasted the abuser. To the family we have all suffered (mentally/emotionally) at the hands of the abuser as well as the victims.
We're always holding our breath because we never know if the next blow will be fatal.
Also to the person who commented about Canada not taking the abuse seriously I've seen that too here in the states. Sometimes it is understandable because the victims don't follow through which makes it hard for the support system (court advocates) to make the police understand this is a crime and a serious offense if the victim isn't cooperative.
The only saving grace is visible evidence which is sad. Sometimes the visible evidence is on the abuser and the actual victim has ended up in jail because they have no bruises.
pookie: you're thinking of her former publicist ..elliot mintz...he's the orange dude
I wonder if the truth will come out or if Rihanna is going to keep quiet about this.
you know, the kid was talented, but this situation has changed everything for me- not that i really paid much attention to him.
i think he seems sorry. sorry that he got caught. there's allegations that he's been an abuser for a while now and if that's the case, i hope he gets his ass handed to him in court and i also hope he gets the counsoling he obviously needs. regardless, i hope his career doesn't come back. he'll always be an abuser in my mind now. same thing with r. kelly. he might be working, but i'm not lending my ears or money to support him.
i really hope rihanna stands up for herself and women around the world. not just to prosecute this douchebag, but so she has some vidication and closure for herself. can't wait to hear what she has to say about it all.
i believe prosecution varies from state to state, doesn't it? if this occurred in CA with witnesses, seems to me his ass should be grass.
there are some backwoods areas (not just in the south, people) where the cops turn the other way because the abuser's a "good ole boy" just blowin' off steam or the woman brought in on herself. even with witnesses.
recently my meth addicted niece and her boyfriend were busted... she called the cops on him, but she got busted and he has the restraining order on her because she was 18 and he 17. both were beat up, and she supposedly defended herself. but the judge brought it down to age.
As 'good' as Parisite's publicist is, at least no one was going to seriously try to murder her...Mr. Brown, I fear, will be a slight more challenging. *coughjzcough*
There is nothing he can say to take back what he has done. Any actions he does in reference to his temper (anger management etc) will be rightly seen as doing what his publicist says to try and sway the public (and not because he believes in it).
The really sad thing is he isn't the only famous person doing this type of stuff. Plenty of men get away with this. 50 Cent terrorizes his baby mama. He doesn't get touched. Wasn't it rumoured Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Esposito's marriage ended because he was violent with her? He's riding a popular wave right now. Even that BI Ent gave us about the girl at the gym crying because the asshole married boyfriend commanded her to lose weight by the time he saw her again. She may not have physical bruising, but the abuse is just as bad.
Different rules for men. Chris Brown got caught, but he will get through this. I don't know if Jay-Z really cares other than getting money out of his investment in RiRi.
Shakey I heard Jay Z was upset because he got Chris Brown the job with Doublemint and now that the ad has been canceled Jay Z will not get paid. So I agree Jay Z's concern is probably about his money.
Also I just read on DListed that Terrence Howard who previously supported Chris Brown and then recanted his statement has a record for beating up his wife in 2001.
It's no wonder by reflex he came to Chris' defense.
And THoward doesn't work that much.
Yeah, I think and hope that CB is going to take a serious professional hit. Maybe in a few years he'll come back, but at 19 - what was he thinking? Every time he hit her, what was he thinking - that no one would find out?
I agree with Ms cool and a couple others. This will damage his career but I don't think we can count him out. Don't get me wrong, I am not a fan, but I see too many like R Kelly evade consequences to truly believe CB's career is finished forever.
