“Chris Brown can be saved.

So says SoFla’s member of the Kennedy clan, Anthony Shriver.

Shriver, whose Best Buddies International raises hundreds of thousands in Palm Beach each spring, is having him headline the non-profit’s Miami gala Nov. 20.

R&B singer Brown, who pleaded guilty to assault and is serving five years probation, is touring intimate clubs nationwide. He’s scheduled to play Shriver’s private shindig at the Mondrian Hotel on his way to a Richmond, Va., concert.

Shriver, the son of Sargent and Eunice Shriver and a nephew of former Pres. John F. Kennedy, founded Best Buddies 20 years ago as a college student. The group matches children with disabilities with mentors.

Is a Best Buddies gala really a good venue for Brown?

Absolutely, says Shriver. Especially since Brown joined Shriver’s cause and is donating some of the proceeds of his tour to Best Buddies.

““I support Chris Brown’s efforts to show the world why he deserves a second chance, given that the commitment he has made to Best Buddies – not only to perform at our Miami Gala, but also to join the Best Buddies family as a volunteer – is a huge step in the right direction,” Shriver told Page2Live in a e-mail.

“I also appreciate Chris’ generous offer to donate a portion of the proceeds from his tour to Best Buddies. I believe Chris’ fans will be equally inspired to support Best Buddies’ mission to provide opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment and leadership development for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities once they see his enthusiasm and commitment to the cause – and just how much his efforts mean to our participants.”

It’s unclear whether Brown actually will mentor handicapped youths.“

    what do you mean stop with the interview he does have to work.

  • wtf

    i think the interview went great and everyone agreed so what is your problem??? he will continue doing interviews and he DID SAY that was the last he will talk about the assult so please keep quiet….he had to do it coz that larry inertview went sidewaya and this time he did great..he got praises all roung except from haters so please shut up and no offense but your view is just wrong!!!

    • X, Y, and Z

      In that apology/statement he made on video, which'll be his SECOND public apology, he did say that he'll NOT get into the details of Feb 8th! If anyone went to his official youtube site, that SECOND public apology ran as soon as you came to the page AND ran if you refreshed the page! That video has now been replaced with that animated 'ICTY' cartoon picture.

      I kinda understand where Jae is "coming from," is what I'm getting at. But then again, you gotta know that, even though, he said he'll NOT go into details of Feb 8th, the interviewers will, NO DOUBT, try to get slick, and try to get him to talk 'bout it. I'm sure that AGAIN, he'll remind 'em of his wanting to MOVE ON, and, out of respect for Rhianna, NOT talking 'bout "the details of Feb 8th."
      He'll do interviews and talk 'bout his new music, as all artists do when he they've got new stuff coming out – he has to promote it, right?
      The "closest/nearest" he can "get to" Feb 8th is to say that he made mistakes, he's learned, and he's NOW moving on. Which, to me, is all ANYONE can EVER think of doing!

  • wtf

    all i have to say is OPRAH EAT THAT..she judged chirs and loves the shrivers but now they are supporting breezy so booooooooo to you oprah!! she should be ashamed for what she did and am glad the shrivers got breezy back..get it boo and this is def a good look..u are not a bad person and we know it..keep up the good work and you will be great..get it boy!!!

  • http://intensedebate.com/people/ilovebreezyx ilovebreezyx

    way to go chris .. yearhh there are gonna be people that are going to judge chris really harshly but thats the way a human mentality is unless they understand. but i think that chris is doing a good thing and yearh he is a human hes not a robot and that he can never make a mistake .. humans make mistakes in life and then learn from it like what chris is doing .. i am really happy and glad that chris is doing this :D
    wish you all the best chris <3

  • X, Y, and Z

    EXACTLY, great point!!!

  • AbbyLuvsCb

    Yay Chris so proud of you! He is doing such a great job with everything and helping others in need! :]

  • True2u

    glad to hear him getting back performing and giving back. It will help the program but also let Chris do what he loves which is perform..
    And yes the Kennedy's, know all about the media and blowing a scandal up.
    Plus two Kennedy relatives were involved in incidents where two women died. One accident, one murder… Both who were young men when it happened. Of course not the same as Chris situations. far worse, and one became senator afterwards. But i wonder if that planned a part. With giving him second chances.

  • I'm just sayin…

    It's a good thing for Chris Brown to be doing stuff like this, But he should've done this before the incident, and not just him but all celebrities should do stuff like this JUST BECAUSE, Not just when somethin happens. And I'm not tryin to hate on or put Chris Brown down, But like his Aun't says… "I'M JUST SAYIN…"

    And you can keep the negative response's to yourself. If you got somethin bad to say about my comment, then just keep it to yourself, b/c I'm not goin to read it, so why even waste your time typing it and posting? ya feel me? yea, so… Peace! Oh, And I know some of you probably gonna say "well if you don't like Chris Brown then why you posting on his fansite, and blah blah blah". First of all, it's not that I don't like Chris Brown, b/c I think he's very talented, and FINE! I don't think he's a bad person at all, but what I said is true, ya know?!

    • X, Y, and Z

      @"I'm just sayin" –>>

      If you don't want someone to comment on YOUR comment, why post it to begin with, why not then,just, just keep it to yourself? Why end it with "Ya know?" when we don't know; apparently neither do YOU: Chris Brown's performance at Oprah's school in S. Africa was done as a favor and as charity BY Chris Brown- not for money! I list this as, but ONE, of his "good and charitable works!"

      And no, I'm NOT expecting you to read this, my comment on your comment, but I'm sure others will now read it and see the utter rubbish, lack of "thought coherence" and truth in your comment(s). So now, any future comment you post will find itself expeditiously predisposed before been brought before the faculties of reason and judgment – carry on, class dismissed!

      X, Y, "and Z" -> OUT!

    @ im just sayin he has donated to charities before actually to st.jues hospital in 2008 im just saying look for all datails before typing just saying no hating anyway love you chris and godbless and it dosent matter if he aint do it before he doing it now the futures counts the most the past is the past love you chris

    • Tee tee

      But if he didn't do stuff like this before, but now he's doin it, that is only showing WHY he's doin it now, which would be b/c of his recent incident and thats not a good reason for you to wanna (all of sudden) help others.

  • http://www.chrisbrownweb.com CBE

    and what you said was not true ya know ha ha lol love you chris

  • sugar3

    It is so good to see and hear that Chris is back to doing what he has been doing all along…helping other people in their troubled times…Chris, you are fantastic at what you do and you should never stop being YOURSELF. God gave you a gift to dance, sing and act so take all threes gifts and continue on doing what you love…You love your fans and appreciate them for their dedication in your troubled times…God Bless you and we will always be here for you!
