Chris Brown Praised by Judge

That's what he needs.

It's better when Chris Brown isn't allowed to talk in a hearing, because then he can't say anything else to mess up his image further. It sounds like he's doing well on his court-mandated community service, although he's still on probation, of course.

Chris Brown was sentenced to five years probation and six months of community labor last year, and he showed up at court yesterday with a single bodyguard. Pictures from the hearing make him look like he isn't feeling the guilt too badly about attacking his ex last year. That's why it's nice to have a five-year reminder while on probation.

The judge commented that Brown was "doing very well" and added that "You are doing everything you are supposed to ... you are working consistently on your community labor."

The part that freaks me out about Chris Brown is that despite completing over 300 hours of community service, he still missed two domestic violence classes. I don't think he should ever be allowed to miss one, schedule be damned.

Warning: I'm biased. I found him insincere during his press follow-ups last year, and I'm not going to gloss over what he did to Rihanna. He's only 21, but I don't care. There are so many other celebs in the world to like who don't have rage issues. Brown's "Forgiving All My Enemies" tattoo was the last straw (link above). As if he should be concerned with forgiving people? That is so messed up.
