Singer Chris Brown has revealed he doesn't remember beating former girlfriend Rihanna. In his first interview since his February 8 arrest for abusing the Umbrella singer, Brown tells CNN's Larry King he is 'still shocked' the incident happened.

Brown said: "When I look at it now, it's just like, wow, like, I can't believe that happened." Though a judge has ordered Brown to stay 100 yards away from her for the next five years, Brown, 20, tells Larry King that he is still in love with Rihanna, 21. He said it's been 'difficult, not being able to see her' and when asked about her dating other men, Brown added: "I definitely would be affected by it but, at the end of the day, I mean, we're not together, so, if she's happy, I'm cool. We'll always be friends." Brown pleaded guilty to felony assault on June 22 in a deal that helped him avoid up to five years in jail. On August 25, he was formally sentenced to five years of probation and six months of community labour service. Brown said: "Everything comes with consequences. They want me to pick up trash and remove graffiti. I'm a hard worker. It's something I'm willing to do. "I just need to prove to people I can be a role model. That's not who I am as a person, and that's not who I promise I want to be. "I made a mistake and I - and it was just something I have to live up and own." The interview is due to air on Wednesday, September 2, in the US.
