Chris Brown, you've done it again

Congratulations, Chris Brown. You've unnecessarily proved that you are still king of the douchebags.

Gawker posted this item about a police report filed in Miami by a woman who accuses Brown of taking her iPhone when she tried to snap a picture of him. He was allegedly quoted as saying ""Bitch, you ain't going to put that on no website," before driving off with her phone.

Lordy, give it a rest already, will you? This is what happens to celebrities time and time again, especially since he's recently been catapulted back into the spotlight (thanks, Grammys). I don't blame him for lashing out, especially with paparazzi swarming all over the place. I can't imagine the irritation that comes with having your picture taken just because you're famous. I can only thank God that I don't have to deal with it. However, that does not give Brown the right to drive away with someone else's property. If he had just asked her not to take his photo, or covered his face or did something to prevent the photo from being taken (in a legal way, obviously) then his image (no pun intended) could have remained somewhat intact, rather than face another legal dispute.

Anyone else notice that he called this woman a bitch? You could certainly argue heat of the moment reaction, but it's hard to ignore that he was degrading to the woman.

Looks like this could turn into a mini-series of postings about why Chris Brown is King Douchebag. Stay tuned for more updates!

A Grammy doesn't mean you aren't a violent douchebag

Chris Brown, the noted R&B singer now most famous for beating then-girlfriend Rihanna (who might be back together with him, but let's talk one thing at a time), is lashing out at critics who questioned his recent comeback at the Grammys.

Seriously, why are we supporting someone who obviously is king of the douchebags?

He tweeted, "“HATE ALL U WANT BECUZ I GOT A GRAMMY Now! That’s the ultimate F**** OFF!” but then later recanted, and came back with this doozy:


"“IM BACK SO WATCH MY BaCK as I walk away from all this negativity #teambreezygrammy.”
He then tried to delete that tweet from his account, too. Step one of Internet 101: Anything you post to the Web stays there FOREVER.

Aside from the obvious mentions I could make about capitalization, punctuation and spelling, this is not someone we should be idolizing. He pummeled a woman with his fists. And because he has a new song we're going to accept the fact and pour adulation on him? Or even suggest he beat us up, too? What kind of message does that send to women, especially those who have already been victims of domestic violence? We as society repeatedly send the message that it's not OK to beat women (think Stop Violence Against Women campaign), yet when someone ordered to undergo domestic violence counseling performs at an awards show--twice--and is loved on by fans, there's something wrong.

As for the possibility of Rihanna and Chris back together, I sincerely hope those reports are just rumors and not based in fact. That she would get back together with her abuser is a terrible mistake and sends the message that it's OK to reunite with someone who punched your face because he won a cool music award. I can practically see the thought bubble of "Oh, he didn't mean it last time" coming out of her head.

Just because you won a Grammy doesn't mean you aren't a total bastard who deserves absolutely no respect.
