Chris Brown Is Now A Style Icon! Eek!

Hey, ladies, there's a comeback in the air, so you'd better watch your backs.

I just got this really inspiring press release.

"With his singing career on the rise again, style icon and celebrated R&B artist Chris Brown showed off his unique, fashion-forward style by sporting a brand new [blah blah] duffel bag when making the trip from NYC to Dallas this past weekend.

"As the brand's newest celebrity fan, Chris used the [blah blah] bag and matching accessories to add a pop of color to his airport attire, and conveniently store his Superbowl gear.

"Perfect for traveling, the bag has an over the shoulder strap to carry through the airport and is compact enough to fit in any overhead compartment."

And it's great for carrying female body parts through customs!

Thanks Rawbdawwgg for enlightening us...with your 20+ years of being enlightened and educated! With your eloquent defense you should also practice the Law as well as go to one of the major p.r. firms in the city. Your post stands out as one of the best!

The posts on here, from Michael Musto on down to people who are commenting, are so uneducated. As a psychotherapist for nearly 20 years, I have worked with many people over the years who successfully learned how to eradicate violent behavior from their lives and go on to be productive members of society. People don't generally go to prison for first time offences of a violent nature, and people certainly don't lose their careers. Its unbelievable how judgmental people are. Domestic violence impacts millions of people all over the world every year. It is most commonly perpetuated by a cycle of violence that is witnessed and learned. Vilifying people who engage in violent behavior only serves to perpetuate it.

So what do you suggest? We act like he didn't do anything because it makes him sad to face the truth?

You think it's judgmental to be appalled by him beating and threatening to kill? No, it's really not. He's scum and he doesn't matter. If he is sad for the rest of his life that's cool with me. If his career never recovers? That's great! Let someone else with minimal talent and charisma take his place.

What about the damage done to all the victims when they are told to get over it and then see this piece of shit on television being treated like he shouldn't live every day in shame. I don't care about Chris Brown's future and you're not any kind of doctor, so quit it.

Rihanna aside, which is impossible, this man has a really horrible sense of style. Look at that outfit. He can't decide if he wants to be a thug a Justin Bieber.

I suppose he is weighting his options in case the day job doesn't pan out. He was featured somewhere a week or so ago pitching his new "art" he is collaborating with some Australian street artist with...when I looked at it I was wondering other than pimping it how he could claim any type of involvement...

Chris Brown is a no-talent loser, but he does have a real shot at being a style icon if only one of these tough-guy rappers would rip his balls off, dip them in gold, encrust them in Swavorski crystals, have them smelted into earrings and then present them to Rihanna as a gift. She would look incredible wearing them at her next red carpet appearance.

Chris Brown looks GREAT :) I really admire him for doing right by his wrong. He's a truly talented individual who always puts a smile on my face. I wish him the BEST :) I also wish the negative part of society would get a life and live it and stop living other peoples lives!

White people! You slay.

Anywhore, looks like Chris got free clothes. Rich people always get free stuff. Millionaires!

Yeah 3X is a success in every country he's released it in. I dislike the song but cleary he's having a comeback. 3 grammy nominations this year.

My sister claims to hate him, yet has his songs on her iPod. Haters seem rather undercover. U can like his music, and not like his past.

Same goes for wife beater Eminem. Chris is performing on SNL this week, and GMA later. People can continue the fake outrage, and bop along to his songs.

Make sure you donate to your local DV shelters!

Btw, 1/4 teenage couples are involved in DV. So someone dissing Chris now, did what Chris did as a teenager. The same age as Chris who was 19. If u can change, others can't.

I just wished when he hit her, he knocked some talent into her robotic behind. She's such a bad live performer! Beyonce, teach her!

The duffel bag's colour (fire engine red) and style, reminds me of boxing gloves which are usually made out of relatively light leather or vinyl, stitched, with suspension cushioning and re-enforced padding.

Nothing Freudian about that.

This kid gets no second chances it's only those like Charlie who allegedly shot his woman put a knife to another allegedly documented and still made millions, Penn who allegedly beat the sh*t out of Madonna but won how many awards afterward...oh yeah and all the others that the media covered up...right.

Sean Penn hit a woman!

Wow! U learn something new today.

Its important to separate talent & person. Or I'd never see a movie again or buy a cd again.

For instance: Jay Z - drug dealer, stabbed a dude. Shot another dude. Is that not attempted murder? How many ppl died from the drugs he sold.

I can't! It have to delete every song on my iPod except Taylor Swift.

I sing along to Chris' music on the radio. It's good guys! It really is! I bought Riri's last album to be safe. It sucked, she can't sing. But I did my part.

"Yeah yeah yeah! I wanna see you tonight!"

But they were white so its ok! At least that seems to be how it goes.Mike Vick, Chris Brown, Tiger Woods...hell, even Kanye West. The hate these guys got is ridiculous. However Charlie Sheen, ben roethlisberger, Sean Penn, and the rest of em get no where near the public ridicule that the media/blogges unleashes on those black guys. Call it race card or whatever you want, idc, it is what it is.

This defending of Chris Brown is so sick!!!!

It comes from people who want to get away with horrible behavior and consider it in the past.

Then if they do something ELSE horrible, two seconds later, that's in the past too.

by beating to a pulp I'm sure you mean your opinion on that photo leaked by TMZ... and by we I'm sure you don't mean the rest of the world... right? No matter the degree of the situation a sin will always be a sin and a wrongdoing will always be a wrongdoing.Chris Brown isn't the only person who has hit a girl. I'm not saying what he did was right because NO MATTER WHAT, NO WOMAN deserves to be beat up like what happened to Rihanna, but we have to learn to forgive and give him another chance. If he messes up again then thats different. I will always defend Chris Brown no matter what anyone says... you have a problem with that? Oh well.

Let's spell it out.

A wifebeater is a kind of shirt guys wear. That was the joke.

Chris never beat a wife, per se, but he mercilessly beat his girlfriend, as the article says.

Did you not know about him beating Rihanna? Have you been under a rock?

If you say it was a joke, iTS COOL cos "wife-beater" is totally senseless in his case.

I heard about his popularized break up with his ex & yes i also saw the exaggerated pictures that must belong to Frank Bruno after his fight with Tyson.

I also know about the hate campaign diligently carried out by the feminist, the confused, and the jealous members of the public, in blogs and the media as a whole

I also know it was 2009 thats why i would not expect anyone with a common sense to bring that up in 2011 2yrs later.

I know he has taken responsibility for his action, almost finished his sentence & put his career back @ the top of the pile which is extremely superb

I know that he was only trying to promote this bag and help some entrepreneur out according to this article & I also know that you haterz are here doing your thing again

Mo

you people call him a "wife beater" as if its a present thing. "as the article says"... really?You should never believe what the media says because after all, they're not apart of it. Chris can never go back to the way he used to be but at least he's trying to be a better person. I laugh at all you people who are quick to criticize him for what he has done acting as if you've never done anything wrong in your life.

whats there to read? some dude just called CB a wife beater, my question is, what wife did he always beat? I guess this kid cant do no right ever in your eyes right? God forbid you guys ever make a mistake.

I realize you're a slow learner, but really? You think the point is that the woman he beat and threatened to murder was not his wife?
