Tiger Woods has at least one celebrity in his corner.  It’s none other than R&B singer Chris Brown. 

The singer gave an interview on the Michigan-based Mojo in the Morning radio show

Brown said

“I think people always deserve a second chance,” Brown insisted. “Whatever Tiger’s personal life is (and I think this goes for me and him), his personal life is his personal life. Nobody has the right to place judgment or make any judgment on somebody else’s personal life when they’re not directly involved with them.  My hat is off to him. I support him.  I hope he gets back on the field and does his thing, ’cause he is the best at it.”

Although Chris might not be the best person to speak on your behalf, at least Tiger can rest assured he has at least one celebrity in his corner.

We heard Rihanna tell her side of the story on the news program “20/20,” and now it’s Chris Brown’s turn.

Brown will appear on the Dec. 11 episode of “20/20″ on the ABC network.  Brown will tell his side of the story regarding the violent incident that took place with Rihanna earlier this year.

Brown previously spoke about the incident on “Larry King Live” and MTV News, but the “20/20″ interview with Robin Roberts is expected to be more in-depth.

The interview will coincide with the release of Brown’s new album titled “Graffiti,” which will be in stores a few days earlier (Dec. 8).

R&B singers Rihanna and Chris Brown recently appeared on television interviews to discuss the fight that occurred between them.

I’m referring to the fight in February that left Rihanna’s face bloodied and bruised while Brown received probation and a community service sentence. 

Rihanna appeared on “Good Morning America” and “20/20″ to discuss the altercation, and Brown was on MTV apologizing for his actions.

Meanwhile, members of Brown’s camp, including his friends and dancers have been using their Twitter pages to insinuate Rihanna is lying. 

His backup dancer posted the following tweet: “I wish dancers can speak about things that really go on. I can not believe this. Let me just say Chris Brown was pushed to the extreme. Her people made her do this interview for two reasons–album sales and to try an kill Chris’ career.”

I’ve written numerous blog posts about the Brown and Rihanna incident, and I have been disturbed by the number of emails and comments I’ve received from readers who tell me “Rihanna deserved to be beaten up,” or ”It was Rihanna’s fault” or ”Rihanna brought it on herself.”

Before you make those types of statements, think about this.  What if your mother was bloodied and beaten by her boyfriend? Would you say your mother deserved it?… What if your sister was bloodied and beaten up by her boyfriend? Would you say your sister deserved it? 

Placing the blame on Rihanna is not productive.  It’s not the victim’s fault.  No one deserves to be beaten in that manner.

We’ve all seen the photos that were leaked to the press that show Rihanna’s face battered, bloodied and swollen.  She didn’t deserve that, and she is not to blame.

Brown has apologized for his behavior, and he was given his punishment by the court.  Is he sincere? Only God and Brown know the answer to that question.

Rihanna discusses the specifics of the Chris Brown assault.  She also discusses how she grew up watching her mother being abused by her father. 

The clips are posted below.

Rihanna will appear on “Good Morning America” on Thursday (Nov. 5) on ABC. Based on the previews, it looks like Rihanna will discuss the Chris Brown fiasco. 

The short preview is posted in the clip below. 

Earlier this year, gospel singer BeBe Winans was arrested on a domestic assault complaint accused of pushing his ex-wife Debra Winans to the ground. 

However, Oprah didn’t make critical comments about BeBe.  In fact, BeBe was invited to appear on the show to promote his new CD with his sister CeCe Winans. 

During an interview with TMZ, BeBe’s ex-wife Debra said she felt hurt when Oprah allowed BeBe to appear on her show especially after she was critical of Chris Brown.

No one really knows what occurred during the incident between BeBe and his ex-wife.  Everything is he said/she said.  But with Chris Brown and Rihanna, we’ve all seen the photos of Rihanna’s battered and bruised face.  Maybe that’s why Oprah was more harsh toward Chris. 

Should BeBe Winans have been allowed to appear on Oprah’s show? Is it a double standard? Let me know in the comments section below.

The storyline looks good, and the cast is jam packed with A-list actors and actresses. 

“Takers” will be in theaters Feb. 19.  It stars Hayden Christensen, Paul Walker, Zoe Saldana, Matt Dillon, Idris Elba, rapper T.I., Michael Ealy, R&B singer Chris Brown and Jay Hernandez.

Michael Jackson’s tribute concert is set for Sept. 26 in Vienna, Austria, and several celebrities are expected to perform.

Twenty-five celebrities are expected to participate in the show, including Chris Brown, Mary J. Blige, Akon, Sister Sledge and Natalie Cole.

More celebrities will be announced at a later date. Performers are expected to sing Jackson’s greatest hits.

The tribute concert will be attended by the Jackson family and 65,000 fans.

Meanwhile, the MTV Video Music Awards will air Sept. 13, and the show will feature a Janet Jackson tribute segment to her brother Michael. 

Chris Brown is very disappointed with Oprah Winfrey.

Earlier this year, Oprah did a show about domestic abuse, and she said the show was inspired by the incident in which Brown beat up his girlfriend Rihanna. 

During a recent interview with People magazine, Brown said “I commend Oprah on being like, ‘This is a problem, but it was a slap in my face. I did a lot of stuff for her, like going to Africa and performing for her school. She could have been more helpful, like, ‘Okay, I’m going to help both of these people out.’”

Oprah’s publicist later released a statement to TMZ that said “Oprah is very appreciative that Chris Brown performed at her school but she takes domestic abuse very seriously. She hopes he gets the counseling he needs.”

Sorry Chris.  Just because you helped Oprah in Africa, that doesn’t mean she’s going to support you after you beat up your girlfriend.
