Chris Brown

Chris Brown says he isn’t quite ready to get back into the dating scene.

“I’ve been kinda chillin’,” he tells MTV News. “I mean, I’m Chris Brown. I’m not saying it like that, but it’s just, like, girls are gonna be around. I love women. But I would say I’ve just been chillin’. I haven’t really been trying to get into a relationship or trying to date anybody. I’ve just kinda been working on me. Like I said, just really getting me straight.”

After recent interviews in which Rihanna, 21, has described the assault, Brown maintains that, while he respects her right to speak out, he wishes she’d kept the matter private.

At Game 4 of the NBA Finals in Orlando on Thursday night, the real action will take place in the stands: Rihanna and Chris Brown will be there together, according to a source.

“They requested to sit together” at the matchup featuring the Los Angeles Lakers vs. the Orlando Magic, says the source. Before the game, Rihanna was spotted at a nearby T.G.I. Friday’s.

The outing comes just two days after Rihanna, 21, was subpoenaed to appear in court to testify in the assault case against Brown, 20, and a day after she was out with Aubrey “Drake” Griffin, the Canadian rapper to whom she’s been linked.

The couple, whose relationship has been on-again-off-again since Brown allegedly attacked Rihanna in February, were last known to be together in April in Los Angeles.

Reps for the NBA and the singers had no comment.

R&B singer Chris Brown said he is ‘not a monster’ in a video message posted online this week ahead of a court hearing over a criminal charge that he beat pop singer Rihanna, leaving her bruised and bloodied.

Brown, who is not expected to attend the hearing set for Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court, does not mention Rihanna by name in the video posted on the website www.justin.tv and circulated online on Wednesday.

He talks about his new album called Graffiti and a single expected this summer.

Saucy pics of what appears to be the Umbrella star in a variety of naked poses appeared online last Friday.

However Brown, who split from Rihanna after he allegedly attacker her after a post-Grammys party in February, denies the leak came from him.

Sources in America had accused Brown of releasing the intimate pics in anger after snaps of her battered face appeared online, following the alleged assault.

However a representative for the R’n'B star told Essence.com: “This is both a false and defamatory statement. Chris has not released or ‘leaked’ any photos of Rihanna or anybody else for that matter.”

It was a night filled with fabulous celebrity appearances, remarkable performances, and plenty of trophies, and as the dust cleared at the American Music Awards both Chris Brown and Rihanna emerged as two of the night’s biggest winners.

The “Umbrella” songstress went two for two, winning both the Favorite Soul/R&B Female Artist and Favorite Pop/Rock Female Artist.

Chris Brown was the big winner at the American Music Awards on Sunday night, surprising himself most of all.

“I don’t know what to say. I would have given it to Coldplay,” said Brown, who won artist of the year, male pop/rock artist and male soul/R&B artist.

Kanye West, still sore at losing male rap/hip-hop artist last year, won the trophy this time – then said Lil Wayne deserved it more.

“I want to give this award to Wayne,” he said. “If it was last year it would have been my award.”

It was West’s second trophy of the night, following his win for rap/hip-hop album, for Graduation.

“It’s our responsibility as musicians to push music to the point it was in the ’60s and ’70s,” he said. “I want to be Elvis.” Continue

Where’s Rihanna with an umbrella (ella, ella)?

Mic stands make great stage props.

Undercover lovebirds Rihanna and Chris Brown, starting their exciting night on the town with dinner at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica. Then, the two popped into the Hideout, a small bar next door. “They came in with their bodyguard and watched people getting up to sing karaoke,” says an onlooker. “They were laughing hysterically –not at everyone, but they just thought it was so cute and funny.” Alas, neither pop star took turns on the mic. After getting their fill, the two left, holding hands on the way out the door.
