On Friday, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg congratulated the 21-year-old R&B performer for finishing the yearlong program.

As a result of completing the required counseling, Brown will no longer have to appear in court every three months for progress report hearings.

Brown is serving five years of probation after pleading guilty last year to assaulting pop star Rihanna in a rented sports car after a pre-Grammy Awards party.

City News Service reports the judge said she would consider lifting the protective order against Brown at a later date. The order requires Brown to stay at least 100 yards away from Rihanna.

The singer, who appeared at last night’s MOBO awards, said that Brown should no longer have to apologize for assaulting ex-girlfriend Rihanna last year because “he’s learnt his lesson now”.

“What people seem to forget is that this was a kid, a kid that made a mistake that, sadly, grown men make every day,” he told the Daily Star.

“If we’re going to give anyone the benefit of the doubt, it should be a kid. Chris has been through a lot, he’s learnt his lesson now.”

Discussing his collaboration with Brown on his new album Nelly 5.0, he said: “He’s such a talented kid, such a great singer and I always knew that would prevail.”

Nelly releases new single ‘Just A Dream’ on November 8.

During a chat with fans on Ustream on Monday night, Brown spoke about the upcoming remix and his next album, F.A.M.E.

“I’mma let ya’ll know a little secret,” Brown told fans. “We got the ‘Deuces’ remix coming. ‘Deuces’ remix features myself, Fabolous, T.I., Drake, Kanye West, and André 3000. There you have it. My people are probably about to call me and say, ‘You weren’t suppose to tell anybody,’ but so what? I love you guys.”

The singer revealed that the remix to the kiss-off track is set to be released as soon as he receives a verse from West. “I’m actually supposed to be getting Kanye’s verse any minute now,” he explained. “I got everybody else’s very ready, so we’re waiting right now. We’re gonna put it together and have it to y’all either by next week or this week, probably Friday. I ain’t making no promises.”

In addition to treating Team Breezy to the big-time collaboration, Brown said that he will shoot a video for the remix.

Brown has been steadily releasing plenty of new music, including his pop single “Yeah 3x,” which Brown said he wrote in 15 minutes with Kevin McCall, Richgirl’s SeVen and DJ Frank E. “We actually got the beat and we did it in no time.” he said. “It was effortless. It was fun. It was sort of like when we wrote ‘Forever,’ so I hope you guys like that record. It’s more of a pop record, in the club record.”

The singer gave fans a taste of his other much talked about song “Calypso,” which may appear on the new LP.

“I wouldn’t say it’s my comeback album,” he said of F.A.M.E. “I just say it’s my album. I wouldn’t say it’s a comeback because I don’t feel like I went anywhere. I didn’t disappear. I still was in your face. But I feel like it’s a great album. It’s going to show a lot more growth and a lot more fun in music. It isn’t going to be as depressing, so to speak.” He’s also considering putting the remix to “Deuces” on the album as a bonus for fans.

A follow up to 2009s “Crawl” featured “Graffiti,” Brown says “F.A.M.E.” will not only showcase his growth, it will be packed with “fun” music.

“I feel like it’s a great album. It’s going to show a lot more growth and a lot more fun in music,” Brown told fans during a recent U Stream session. “It isn’t going to be as depressing, so to speak.”

The album, which does not have an exact release date at this point, is led by rising efforts “Yeah 3X” and “Calypso”.

Its always great to see him being a positive role model despite of what everybody says. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK CHRIS!!!

Damaged and disgraced dancer-singer Chris Brown is demanding a trade from his current label over at Sony Music to Universal, which houses Cash Money/Young Money label, mediatakeout.com reports. They say that the two major labels are working out the particulars even as we speak.

goes on to say…

Brown may finally find a place to lay his head and grow artistically. He hasn’t been feeling the love lately – not from the press, his fans, nor the stock workers at Walmart. So with Lil Wayne about to ink a seven-figure clothing deal and with Drake and Nicki Minaj reaching superstar status without even releasing albums yet, Young Money is already blowing up. Might be the perfect incubator for career reinvention for Brown.
