Chris Brown has a serious problem!


Evidently Chris "Beat me Down" Brown or his flunkies cannot keep their damn hands to themselves. First he beat up Rihanna now he's swinging on photographers. Someone please whoop this reckless dude's A$$. Peep the story below.

A photographer has sued the R&B singer for assault and battery, claiming Brown’s entourage chased him after he took a picture of the star during a pickup basketball game March 13. Then one of Brown’s bodyguards “picked him up by his shorts and physically assaulted him.”

Shutterbug Robert Rosen, who two years ago accused Pierce Brosnan of sucker-punching him outside a restaurant, is also suing L.A. Fitness, the gym where Brown was shooting hoops, according to the complaint filed Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court.

According to the plaintiff, he had snapped a pic of the recently maligned artist when Brown’s “associates/and or bodyguards/and or others” spotted him, yelled something and started walking toward him.

Introducing Brandon Hines


Cultivated in Motown, Brandon Hines and his refreshingly natural singing talent are campaigning for legendary status. His smooth, baritone vocals command the attention of the ladies and his relatable lyrics are magnetic for the gentlemen. Hines lulls his sultry love songs in a distinct, raspy tone that sets him apart from others in the current music climate. Not only does he offer a soundtrack and a sexy backdrop, but Brandon Hines provides an experience. And he wants you to make love…Music that is.

That's what Hines and his independent debut, Love Music: Fallin in Fallin Out, have been doing since 2005. The album has sold over 7,000 hard copies and over I-Tunes. Hines has a strong following among the younger crowd, but a classic appeal that transcends generations.

Writing his own lyrics since he was young, Brandon Hines developed a knack for composing songs that evoke emotion. The art of storytelling mixed with his carefully placed rifts and background vocals, result in the no-holds-barred medleys that are edgy and honest.

Brandon Hines works with up and coming producers NEZ & RIO and Miguel Graves. He has worked with R & B singers Trey Songs and Cassie, Troy Taylor, Ryan Leslie and Johnta Austin. Each collaboration has been a catalyst to the other as Brandon Hines is earning his credibility and making a name for himself in the industry..
