Brown cuts name from award show

The 2009 Kids Choice Awards decided Wednesday, March 11 that they are dropping Chris Brown's name from the list of nominees for the annual award show, according to Defamer. After the couple's physical altercation in February, where Brown was charged with two felonies of assault for brutually beating singer Rhianna, they have previously been seen together around the studio and his L.A mansion.
Since the incident, it has cost Brown most of his deals with Wrigley's and the California Milk Processor Board's "Got Milk" campaign. This sort of puts him in the category with other famous celebs that lost endorsements due to headline controversies in the media.
Michael Phelps, Kobe Bryant, and Whoopi Goldberg all lost their endorsements from incidents that took place, which involved criminal material. Spokesperson for Wrigley gum stated in Entertainment Weekly, "Wrigley is concerned by the serious allegations made against Chris Brown. We believe Mr. Brown should be afforded the same due process as any citizen."
Being in the spotlight and setting the example for young aspiring artists seems to put you in a huge position to maintain the responsibility as a mature person and Brown has failed due to his actions. He should be pulled from these sorts of advertisements that raise him up for people to admire and look up to. This shouldnt be what our kids look at as the everyday role model rather, he now needs to learn from what he has done and clean up his act.
People is reporting Rhianna and Chris Brown are back together. According to the magazine, the pair has reunited nearly three weeks after the incident and only have been spotted in a couple of places.
Brown was reported calling Rhianna on her 21st birthday to wish her happy birthday and then ended up apologizing and recently spotted settling the dispute. In this case, Rhianna needs to take things slow and really evaluate what she is getting herself into. She is young, naive and in love but these things pass the older you get and if some issues are not settled with the help of counseling, it could cause more problems in the future.
