The judge overseeing Chris Brown‘s probation for beating ex-girlfriend Rihanna sang the praises of the R&B artist and urged him to keep chipping away at his community service requirement.

Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg did not raise any issues about Brown’s progress during the brief hearing on Aug. 26.

“You’re doing very well on probation,” Schnegg told Brown. “You’re doing a great job.”

Brown, 21, did not speak during the hearing.

The judge said Brown had consistently worked to satisfy his six-month community labor sentence, but she did not say how many hours he had completed.

Schnegg also noted she had read positive reports from a domestic violence counseling program attended by Brown.

His attorney Mark Geragos said at a hearing in May that Brown had logged nearly 300 hours of community work.

The singer was sentenced last year to five years probation and six months of community labor for assaulting Rihanna in February 2009 after a pre-Grammy Awards party.

Once known for his squeaky-clean image and dancing ability, Brown has also been working to repair his public image since the beating.

After receiving a glowing report on the progress of his probation, Chris Brown was spotted enjoying the Los Angeles Lakers vs. the Boston Celtics basketball game last night (February 18) at the Staples Center in LA.

He sat courtside with other stars, including R&B vet Usher, who he was seen chatting it up with, and took some time out to greet his Lakers doppelganger Shannon Brown (surprisingly enough, the two are not confirmed as relatives, though Breezy joked in a video chat they could possibly be distant cousins).

Chris next single off Graffiti is rumored to be Pass Out, which Eva features on.

Beautiful girl…

It’s come to our attention and Chris’s that retail stores across the Globe are refusing to sell Graffiti to fans, despite having the album in stock. The reason? Take a wild guess. It’s apparent that despite apologising God knows how many times about what happened between him and Rihanna in February, shops are hesitant to sell his CD’s to fans. Fans have already expressed their anger at the shops via Twitter and we encourage you to do the same. Here’s a few examples.

@avant_garde88 @MechanicalDummy my friend told me his manager told him that he doesn’t support woman beaters so he left them in the back when ppl asked.

@Parislovinlon20 @MechanicalDummy so i asked the manager did they ur album have it n she said no. then an eployee was watchin n snuck me 1 from the back.

@Celebrityboost @MechanicalDummy this gyrl said the store that she went 2 kept ur CD’s @ the back, & a employee who is ur fan had 2 sneak + give it 2 her.

You can raise awareness about the shop’s obvious “black balling” of Graffiti by putting #GraffitionRacks on all of your tweets. It’s already a trending topic. Or, you can sign this Twitter petition or make a petition and post it in the comments of this post and then retweet this post to encourage fans to sign it. Shops seem to think that they have the power to ruin someone’s career regarding an incident in which none of them were involved.
