He put himself in this position with his own actions, but this was somewhat unfair to Brown, who was trying to make a broader point about fame. In the full interview, it’s clear that Chris Brown was trying to express the frustrations and pitfalls of fame in the context of his new album F.A.M.E.

The album title stands for Forgiving All My Enemies and also Fans Are My Everything. The “mishap” he was referring to was no specific event. Of people who turned their backs on him, or on any person after a negative event in their life, Brown actually sympathized, saying the following: “You can’t blame people for how they want to be portrayed or if they don’t want to be associated with somebody who had a particular mishap.”

Rather than his beating of Rihanna, Brown was talking in general about how people protect their reputations even at the cost of losing friends. While you can see why Chris doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt, in this case it seems clear that he wasn’t trying to downplay what he did.

Meanwhile, Rihanna has ruled herself out of starring in the forthcoming remake of The Bodyguard. The ‘What’s My Name’ singer had been linked to the Whitney Houston role in the forthcoming new version of the 1992 hit. However, she has said that she will not be appearing, because she hates it when singers star in musical movies. She said of her link to the role: “Absolutely not. I hate it when singers do singing movies all the time, because you can never look at them as anybody else. I want to play a character, my whole life is playing Rihanna, being a singer won’t be a stretch for me.”

She added: “I like challenges and being an actor is playing a role, being able to step into somebody else’s shoes. That’s the excitement.”
