Chris Brown Plays Victim, Claims Media Out to Get Him

Wed., Feb. 15, 2012 12:30 PM PST by Josh Grossberg

Chris Brown doesn't give a (pick your expletive) what the naysayers have to think of his dual Grammy wins and two featured performances last Sunday—which came three years almost to the day after his notorious beatdown of then-girlfriend Rihanna

And now he's going after the press.

Here's what the "Run It" singer had to say this morning on his Twitter page before abruptly deleting them.

"DEAR MEDIA.. Ur plan is not working…I'm not going anywhere so get used to me," tweeted Brown, adding, "How long is this gonna take?"

Perhaps Brown was wondering when the public will forgive him for the felony assault, a crime for which he performed hundreds of hours of community service and for which he's now on probation.

While Grammy voters have moved on, the same can't be said of many critics—newspapers such as the Washington Post and Los Angeles Times had editorials decrying his presence at the Grammsy, while celebs like Miranda Lambert and Jack Osbourne took Brown to task on Twitter.

But Brown did receive support from some unexpected quarters.

The View cohost Sherri Shepherd stood up for Brown on Tuesday's episode, calling out teenage girls for ignoring the realities of domestic violence when they jokingly tweeted during the Grammy telecast that they wouldn't mind taking a beating from Brown—if only to meet their idol.

"I've defended Chris Brown and said that I thought he deserved another chance. I still do think he deserves another chance. We shouldn't just throw him out because of one mistake and it's over," said Shephered. "But these girls, it concerns me more than Chris Brown—it's deeper. [It's about] your self-worth: what do you think you're worth? Either A) you've been in this situation and it's not bothering you, or B) you've never been in this situation and you don't understand what it feels like to be punched in the face."

Cohost Elisabeth Hasselbeck accused Shepherd of going too easy on him.

"I think it's interesting to be so loose on Chris Brown," she said. "If it was your daughter, I don't think you'd be saying it."

Shepherd stood by her statements, claiming Chris could still be a role model.

"There may be a child in a situation of going through abuse that Chris Brown has gone through. His mother was abused right in front of his very eyes six years before this happened to Rihanna. He used to wet his pants from the fear," said Shepherd. "He was a victim! He became an offender. He did what the courts told him to do. He went to 52 weeks, a year of domestic prevention counseling."

On Monday, Sherri also tweeted, "Looks like all is forgiven w Chris Brown. That's all I'll say."

We'll give her this: at least she's consistent.

Most couples prefer to keep their personal problems private. Not Weston Cage.

Nicolas Cage's eldest son has taken to his Facebook page yet again to let the world know that he now plans to seek an end to his three-month-old marriage to wife Nikki Williams after the two got into violent spat over the Fourth of July that ended with both arrested for domestic violence.

Guess Thor's dropping the hammer all right. But that wasn't all.

"Made my choice. Getting divorced," Weston writes in a post today.

In another more cryptic revelation, he also hinted that Nikki is pregnant.

"Have fun killing my child BREYAN PRESCOTT," the 20-year-old declared.

Cage's bombshells are the latest in a series of bizarre rants on the social networking site and come shortly after he posted a video relating his conflicted feelings for his 22-year-old missus and asking his Facebook friends to "Vote on the Divorce. Yes or No."

"Traditionally, the person that is abused or attacked or victimized is the one who usually breaks up with the other," Weston, dressed in a hoodie and smoking a cigarette, said in the clip. "It's hard to believe but I was the one abused....I got three witnesses, a video recording, I was sober."

He then held up divorce papers for the camera.

"I'm not gonna be the one that gets dumped. Because it just wouldn't make sense. Why would I abuse the person I was trying to save?" he asked. "If I hit somebody which I haven't done in years...you want war, fine? Then let's have war. You want peace, I prefer that."

Less than an hour later, he changed his Facebook status from "married" to "It's complicated."

The younger Cage reached this crossroads after he and Nikki were taken into custody Monday by Los Angeles police responding to a 911 call about a fight at their residence. Both were booked on a felony domestic violence charge. While Weston was released Tuesday from an L.A. County lockup after posting $50,000 bail, Williams remains behind bars.

Cage subsequently took to Facebook where he chalked the whole thing up to a "misunderstanding" due to alcohol.

If today's Facebook musings are any indication, Weston's still riding that emotional roller coaster.

"I will die at twenty seven, I just feel like I will naturally," he wrote in another strange thread.

Cage and Williams swapped vows in April after a whirlwind romance. Two months later the heavy-metal singer was forcibly hospitalized for a psychiatric examination after he and his personal trainer got into fisticuffs on a Hollywood street.

Cage commented again on that incident as well as his mental state.

"I was misdiagnosed with bipolar and approved cogent when [trainer] Kevin [Villegas] assaulted me I was too drunk to fight back, thats why I'm not sore about the video," wrote Weston. "So don't judge of a battle where my vigor was abated by deathly amounts of booze. Never hit my wife. Why would I start abusing after she was positive after taking a pregnant-c test."

Here's hoping they work things out for the kid's sake.
