Chris Brown says he's 'sorry and saddened' about what 'transpired' between him and Rihanna
R&B star Chris Brown broke his silence Sunday, saying he is sorry over his fight with girlfriend Rihanna and will seek counseling.
"Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired," Brown said in a statement.
Without discussing the fight, Brown's five-sentence statement conceded that he needs help to deal with the scrap.
"I am seeking the counseling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones," he said. "I am committed, with God's help, to emerging a better person."
Brown, 19, has hired a public relations company that specializes in crisis management to deal with the firestorm of scrutiny over allegations he beat up Rihanna on Feb. 8.
The 20-year-old "Umbrella" singer suffered bruises and a split lip and has not been seen in public since.
Prosecutors are considering filing charges against Brown.
Brown said he hasn't made any statements since the fight and said Web posts that purport to be from him are a pack of lies.
"Much of what has been speculated or reported on blogs and/or reported in the media is wrong," he said. "While I would like to be able to talk about this more, until the legal issues are resolved, this is all I can say

Usher's wife recovering after cardiac arrest
SAO PAULO — The wife of R&B singer Usher continues to recover in a Sao Paulo hospital after suffering a cardiac arrest shortly before undergoing plastic surgery, the spokeswoman of the doctor who was to perform the procedure said Thursday.
Ellen Dastry, spokeswoman for plastic surgeon Silvio Sterman, says Tameka Raymond checked into the Sao Rafael Hospital last Friday for a "simple liposuction." Dastry said that Raymond suffered a cardiac arrest while being anesthetized for the procedure "but was revived in less than a minute by heart massage." She was then placed in an induced coma before being taken to the intensive-care unit, a procedure Dastry said was "absolutely normal" and performed in order to "avoid unnecessary complications."
Usher was supposed to perform at music mogul Clive Davis' pre-Grammy party last Saturday, but backed out to come to Brazil to be with his wife.
The 30-year-old R&B star and his wife were married in August 2007. They have two young sons, 2-year-old Usher Raymond V and 2-month-old Naveid Ely Raymond.

Chris Brown Arrested for possible assault on Rihanna
Boyfriend arrested for alleged assault on Rihanna
It seems that all is not happy in paradise as Rihanna is revealed to be the victim in the incident that led to Chris Brown being arrested yesterday in Los Angeles.
The alleged attack, which is still shrouded in mystery, meant that both stars missed their performances at last night's Grammy Awards.
LA police have now named Rihanna as the victim in the case after earlier saying that the female victim had "suffered visible injuries".
The couple, who always denied they were an item, apparently got into an argument whist driving around in a rented Lamborghini late on Saturday night.
"The exact charge was criminal threats and it is going to be investigated as a criminal threats investigation,” said Police Sgt. Bridgett Pickett.
"There may be domestic violence charges added later, but that will be up to the district attorney’s office."
Brown has been released on $50,000 bail.
Rihanna's publicist said: "Rihanna is well. Thank you for your concern and support."

"I just smoke Marijuana" Lil Wayne Denies 'Syrup' Addiction, Defends Marijuana Use- This is Ridculous
Kids-please do not follow the example of This Rapper. Say no to all drugs!
During a recent interview with Katie Couric, rapper Lil Wayne denied being addicted to the drug known as "syrup." A mixture of codeine and promethazine, the drug is popular in the South and has been mentioned by rappers such as Three 6 Mafia and UGK.
Wayne denied his addiction to the concoction, but admitted to drinking so much "syrup" during shows and interviews that he suffered from stomach aches.
Not only did the New Orleans rapper admit to sipping syrup, but he defended marijuana, which he claims he uses for medical reasons. "I will stand up for marijuana any day... I'm a rapper. That's who I am, Miss Katie, and I am a gangster and I do what I want. And I love to smoke. And I smoke."Wayne went on to tell Couric that he smokes marijuana to deal with intense headaches (which coincidentally is one of the side effects of abusing codeine). "I have migraines that make me [want to] just kill myself," he said.
Couric also inquired if his drug use might send the wrong message to fans that look up to him. "Never in my life would I ever say, that I ever set out to be an example for people on how to live their lives,' he explained. "If you need an example for how to live then you just shouldn't have been born, straight up."
