Chris Brown & his hands of renown...

...will be coming back soon. Not right away, of course. he has to spend a requisite amount of time out of the spotlight before popping up on the cover of Us magazine, telling us how sorry he is and about all the contributing factors (none of which are really his fault) that led to such unfortunate circumstances and oh yeah, his new album and tour. We'll buy that magazine and the apology and the excuses and the album and the concert tickets. Because the only thing we love more than when celebrities fuck up is forgiving them and granting them second chances...presumably so they can fuck up again. Besides, all he did was beat the living daylights out of his girlfriend. Is that even a crime? If that's all OJ had done to Nicole, he'd probably have a recurring role as a wacky neighbor on "Two and a Half Men".
So look for Chris Brown's comeback soon! Not real soon but still too soon.
