Despite breaking a window in their studio and squaring off with a producer in a shirtless rage, ABC wants nothing more than to stay in the Chris Brown business. Which explains why Robin Roberts still wishes him the best and told Gayle King that GMA had every intention of keeping the window incident “internal” and not reporting it. Because why would anyone need to know a violent woman-beater is still running around on a hair-trigger? Seems gratuitous. So, of course, their latest idea is to try and get Chris and Rihanna in the same room and film the ensuing aftermath for a prime-time special. E! News reports:
Indeed, sources at ABC have confirmed to me that producers want to “milk this event for everything its worth,” high moral news standards (and, one assumes, laws, especially those involving convicted felons and their subsequent behavior) be damned. And not only was Brown’s upcoming Dancing With the Stars appearance next week not canceled, as we predicted, guess what other media deal ABC wants to build with bad-boy Brown?
A reality show, perhaps?
“No, that would never happen here,” said a top-level ABC insider, who knows the current situation regarding Brown very well. “What’s far more likely is orchestrating Chris Brown talking to Rihanna for the first time.”
“A reality show? Oh, heavens, no. That would be unconscionable. What we’re looking to do is take the more ethical, moral approach of getting Rihanna a room and then wheeling Chris Brown out like he’s Hannibal Lecter. I’m talking the face mask and everything. After that, Robin Roberts will go over some ground rules, check his gloves for shards of glasses, etc. and then step into a bulletproof chamber. We just want to be a part of the healing process, you know? That’s the type of responsible journalism we believe in. Ha! A reality show. That’s rich.”
NOTE: If you haven’t seen it yet, Videogum posted a well-written “Fuck You” to Good Morning America earlier in the week which can basically be applied to the whole network at this point.

They could call it “The OJ and Nicole Back to the Future Show!” I’d watch it!
Lisa Bonet is looking better than ever
Agreed
I wanna put me and Rihanna in the same room.
If you know what I mean.
i’d like to put my tongue in her butthole…
after looking at Chris Brown at all these features. Rhianna is starting to look good.
his record label has to be owned by Disney Corp (who also owns ABC) right? Otherwise this makes no damn sense
good guess but he’s on jive turkey which is owned by sony/cbs
I looked it up, he’s signed to Jive owned by Sony. So, nope, just good old fashioned greed motivating this.
Nah, they (Disney-owned ABC) just wants to make sure he gets cut the same slack those “Disney kids” get! You know the slack that Russell Simmons claims he deserves. Disney and ABC are very democratically oriented when it comes to slack.
It’s the black Reese Witherspoon!
ha, good observation!
ABC execs are drooling over the ratings they’ll get if he beats her again, this time on TV. What scum.
Rhianna: bleeding, bleeeding, more bleeding
Chris: Well, she was stealing my record ontract numbers from my phone…
ABC Exec: Wooohoooo, making money bitches!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!
I think its okay ey shld sort their issues out
Rihanna has no issues, she’s a superstar and couldn’t care less about her ex.
Wrong. Normal, emotionally healthy girls do not date violent abusers. Girls that have been abused/victimized in the past do, and usually continue to act out their trauma.
blame the victim. nice.
Dr. Drew is right. Women with self-esteem tend to leave once they’re not treated with respect. I doubt Chris Brown was the perfect gentleman before all this went down. Abusers have red flags, warning signs that chase them away. This isn’t “blaming the victim”.
it was just a “mishap”! ;)
bravo VIDEOGUM
After that headline, I figured they would be on the next cycle of “Dancing With the Stars.”
Rihanna – don’t do it!!! please don’t.
That videogum clip is gospel. VERY well put. Bravo.
nooobody knoooows the troubles i seeeen…. noooo noooo noobody
When did Reese Witherspoon turn black?
Put them in the same room with the floor covered in lots of jelly and Rihanna can rush and Chris Brown while he … oh God… bad thoughts, bad thoughts. I need to bleach my brain now.
Dan don’t you mean bananas?
You should have bleached your brain before sharing even a small portion of that fantasy, Dan…you are one sick puppy!
I believe it was also a joke
Shy Ronnie is gonna be pissed!!!!!!
If she does it she deserves to get beat for adding to his fame.
Unlikely, she doesn’t need that , he desperately does.
Of course she’ll do it. She’s an attention whore just like every other famous person. However she’ll probably play it off like she’s this gracious little victim forgiving her abuser. Look at her crazy hair and ridiculous clothes..she’s screaming “i’m so different look at me!” I just don’t understand this fuss when this same woman agreed to do a song where her boyfriend SETS HER ON FIRE and she “Likes the way it hurts” (it’s some song with Detroit trash Eminem). Yeah so anyway….get off the sympathy train the steam is gone. Played out. Old. Tired. Worn out. Are you getting the message. Donate to a womens shelter if you’re so passionate about abusers. Do you? I bet you don’t.
Cunt.
Yeah, but substitute Johnny Knoxville, in a wig and bronzeface, for Rihanna and you’ve got first class family entertainment.
Damn that video was on point.
ABC should really fuck off though, good grief.
And some wonder why domestic violence is not taken seriously.
If they didn’t make Hollywood money from the idiot masses, Chris Brown and Charlie Sheen would both be some bubba’s bitches in the joint.
Bingo!
+1 with an assist to the media whores who continue to give him a mic for RATINGS!
Just watched the video, oh man, so right the fuck on!
………JUST “BOOK” TWO MORE COFFINS.
“What’s far more likely is orchestrating Chris Brown talking to Rihanna for the first time.” ummm bullshit. they have been together since the incident. riding on jetskis i think
Wow, the video sure nailed it. When he mentioned Ali and company… yeah, puts things into perspective. Chrissie is a male bitch.
NOW EXCUSE ME I FEEL SORRY FOR MYSELF, I’LL BE BEATING PEOPLE UP AND RELEASING ALBUMS. I’M NOT RICH OR FAMOUS ENOUGH. SOME PEOPLE BLAME ME. I STILL HAVE FANS, TOUGH, BUT OTHERS HURT MY FEELINGS. Is that a window?
This whole thing will only end well. I mean really, what could go wrong with putting “punchy” back in the same room with Rhianna to talk about “the past”?
See some of the hottes rihanna pics ever at http://www.superficialii.com/topless/rihanna-nud-again/
It’s a black thing, says Robin Roberts as she climbs into Chris’s Porsche, carefully leaving her cellphone with Al Roker.
