Yesterday in LA, Chris Brown was sentenced for beating the crap out of Rihanna, repeatedly. He was slapped with 5 years probation, a year of domestic abuse classes and he must complete 1,400 hours of community service (and by that they mean party with as many people as possible as often as possible – preferably before putting in a few good hours at the studio).

The judge also threw in for good measure that Chris must keep at least 100 yards away from Rihanna. If they are at the same industry event, he has to stay 10 yards away. He isn't allowed to e-mail, text or call her on the phone.

The judge also gave a side-eye and said, "I'm not immune to any chatter on the airwaves. Do you understand, Mr. Brown, that any violation of this order is a violation of your probation and it comes with the possible penalty of prison?" Chris answered "Yes." So I guess that song he’s penning called "PLEASE RIRI TAKE ME BACK, MY CAREER DEPENDS ON IT" is out of the question? Ri had asked the court to cancel the stay-away-order, but thankfully the decision was not hers.

But what’s really disturbing apart from the adoring girls outside the courthouse cheering for Chris Brown yelling out “we love you Chris..”, it’s also the ignoranouses all over the internet, with comments ranging from “he doesn’t deserve 5 years probation, that’s too long” to my personal fave “she musta asked for it”. But this kind of dumbassness is not limited to degenerates with nothing better to do but argue with their own kind on message boards, this sentiment came from People.com with its headline about Brown and Rihanna’s violent past.

The qualifying statement on the site’s HOME PAGE reads: Three months prior to their Feb. 8 fight, the "Umbrella" singer slapped him during an argument. Way to blame the victim!

By contrast, US Weekly, which is considered more “tabloidy” than celebrity asskissing People, chose to represent the story this way: Chris Brown Involved in Previous "Domestic Violence" Incidents With Rihanna. And after turning up for sentencing looking remorseful and claiming to be “depressed” he put in a few hours in the studio on his new album – then hit L.A’s Guys & Dolls Lounge with a friend and his new girlfriend.

"He was in a great mood," an eyewitness has said.

"He jumped on the top of the back booth and did Michael Jackson’s 'Dirty Diana.' He danced on top of the booth all night." And while he only sipped on water, his fellow revelers drank Dom Perignon.

"People were shaking his hand, and he was posing with them for photos," adds the eyewitness.

At one point, a source tells E! News, Brown was overheard saying that he wished Rihanna nothing but the best and that he was happy the incident was behind him. He also said he will always love Rihanna. Yer, cause nothing says love like repeated acts of violence! I hate people sometimes.
