When Chris Brown sees the infamous leaked photo of ex-girlfriend Rihanna with a bruised and battered face following his early-morning assault on her on February 8, he still can’t believe it.

“When I look at it now, it’s just like, wow, like, I can’t — I can’t believe that — that actually happened,” Brown told CNN’s Larry King in an interview slated to run on Wednesday night, his first since his arrest in February. Brown also claims in the interview that he cannot remember that night’s violence, which police said included the then-19-year-old singer punching, biting and choking Rihanna.

Brown told King that he still loves Rihanna and that he’s still in love with her, but the judge’s stay-away order will keep him apart from the singer for the next five years. Brown pleaded guilty to felony assault on June 22 in a deal that helped him avoid up to five years in jail, but includes five years of probation and six months of community labor service.

Brown said he realizes now that his violent actions have real-world consequences. “They want me to pick up trash, remove graffiti,” he said, dubbing the judge’s sentence as fair. “I’m a hard worker. It’s something I’m willing to do.”

50 Cent Hosts Benefit Concert at Six Flags

50-cent-on-stage

Rapper 50 Cent tremendously gave back to the kids in his native Queens community over the weekend by, taking themto Six Flags for some fun and a benefit concert. The show was originally supposed to take place at in Queens at PS 40 but was moved because of fear and suspicion of violence.

I must say it was a good gesture but for 50 and the G-Unit to be on stage cussing and saying motherf&$k the police in front of all those children was not setting a good example at all. Art is art no matter how you look at it and I’m no sponsor, but performing adult things in front of these kids like that is the last thing they need. Especially being that they are children from the inner city that are surrounded by negativity this should have been a couple hours to escape.

Overall it was still a good gesture and I’m happy to see the kids of Queens got a treat before school.

“No more Kush, Purp, Piff, Haze, Sour desiel for me! No more drinks! Got to do this for my health!” 

**What up twigs I just left the emergency room, thanks and I love all those who prayed for ya Boi! I’m still here! Still walkn it out

**Got to pick up my medicine at 10am..No more Kush, Purp, Piff, Haze, Sour desiel for me! No more drinks! Got to do this for my health!

**Live healthy! be healthy! Live unhealthy and suffer the concequences! Keep god first and haters last! It’s not over till the fat lady sing.”

I hope he lives up to these words and makes his health his number one priority.

New Jersey Has Forbes Richest Neighborhood

Sean Diddy Combs

Alpine, New Jersey, home of hip hop stars such as Sean “Diddy” Combs, has just topped Forbes.com’s list of the most expensive zip codes in the United States.

Located some 20 miles from Manhattan, Alpine (zip code 07620) is a small community of sprawling mansions with a median asking price of $4.14 million, Forbes said on its web site, adding that stars drawn to the neighborhood include musician Stevie Wonder and comedian Chris Rock.

Atherton in California (zip code 94027) was the second most expensive, with a median asking price for homes of $3.85 million, followed by New York City’s West Village (zip code 10014) with a $3.5 million median asking price.

Those neighborhoods, however, have not been immune to the recent economic downturn that has hammered real estate prices. Forbes said prices fell 23 percent in the past year in Alpine and Atherton, and by 24 percent in the West Village.

Other prestigious neighborhoods that made the list include Beverly Hills (90210) in fifth place and Aspen, Colorado (81611), in 20th place. All of the top 10 zip codes were in New York, New Jersey or California.
