Judge to Chris Brown: You're Awesome!

Chris Brown may have severely beaten Rihanna and tarnished his reputation and career beyond repair, but he's earning A+ marks for his probation work since!
During a progress report hearing in his assault case, the judge said she was not just satisfied, but blown away by Chris' work ethic, telling the embattled star:
"No one has ever done a better or more consistent job than you have."

At last Chris Brown has something to smile about.

Brown, who pleaded guilty to felony assault in June 2009, only has seven domestic violence sessions left, and he's completed 581 hours of community service (trash pickup and whatnot) ... which still leaves 819 hours.
Not exactly a slap on the wrist.
Good to see him taking this so seriously and putting in the time to better society and himself after what he did, at least. Don't expect any probation violations from this guy. Lindsay Lohan and T.I. should take notice!

Avan Jogia: Miley's New Man?

Has Miley Cyrus found a new young man?
Sources tell Hollywood Life that Avan Jogia has been spotted out on multiple occasions with the singer, saying the two have been "hanging and getting closer," possibly contributing to the reasons why Miley broke up with Liam Hemsworth for the 29th time a few weeks ago.

Rumored, quasi new couple alert: Avan Jogia and Miley Cyrus.

Jogia appeared on the SyFy series Caprica and is best known for his role on the Nickelodeon show Victorious.

Although an insider says Cyrus "wants to be officially single for her birthday [November 23] and just have fun with whomever she hangs out with," witnesses spotted her and Jogia on at least two separate occasions in October:

1. They had lunch on the 28th.
2. They attended a Halloween party together a few days later.

Avan also gave an interview to Tiger Beat about the alleged relationship and said: “We’re hanging out, but I don’t really have to much to say about that."

Fair enough. With Miley's busy schedule - she recently performed in Europe and will return to the States this Sunday for the American Music Awards - it's difficult for anyone to lock her down these days.

Celebrity Hair Affair: AnnaLynne McCord

AnnaLynne McCord is a really terrible actress. Seriously, she's just an over-reacting mess on 90210.
But the pretty star must have something going for her, right? After all, she's dated Kellan Lutz on and off for years. The answer is clear: McCord has a killer head of hair.
She can wear is straight. She can wear is curly. She can wear it up or wear it down. Any way she goes, the locks are flowing and the compliments are abundant. But what is her best look? We've given readers a pair of options to debate below:

How do you prefer AnnaLynne McCord's hair?

Did Jessica Simpson Buy Her Own Engagement Ring?

As Beyonce crooned, if you like it, you should put a ring on it.
Jessica Simpson apparently took this timeless mantra to heart.
The star, who recently announced her engagement to Eric Johnson, reportedly forked out $100,000 of her own money for a ruby-and-diamond Neil Lane band.

The future Mr. and Mrs. Jessica Simpson steppin' out this fall.

"No way could Eric, who doesn’t have a job, afford to purchase such an expensive ring,” a source said. "Yes, he made a little money in the NFL and is from a wealthy family, but unless his parents helped him out, Jessica must have paid for it."
Definitely. That MUST be what happened.
Sources add she may also fund an extravagant wedding so as not to be upstaged by ex-husband Vanessa Minnillo and Nick Lachey, who just got engaged too.
“It will be big, elaborate," said the Simpson source. "She’s already starting planning everything and has every family member working on her big day."
“We all want Jessica to be happy and finally find love after all she has been through," the source adds, "but she doesn’t understand that in the long run if she pays for everything it will hurt her relationship with any man.”
Sure, it's a little degrading, but it's not necessarily a deal-breaker if the man gets to quit business school to live the life of an A-lister while waking up every morning next to Jessica Simpson. Just saying, could be worse for E.

Mel Gibson: Lucia Photos Prove Oksana Lies

Photos, or more accurately video screen grabs of Mel Gibson's daughter Lucia offer proof that the actor did not abuse the infant, according to his legal team.
Shot three days after the fight between Mel and Oksana Grigorieva during which she says he abused them, Gibson says the video proves she's a perjurer.
Oksana claims that during a Jan. 6 argument, Mel hit her twice, and the second blow grazed Lucia, drawing blood and creating an abrasion on her chin.

Will photo evidence clear Mel Gibson of domestic abuse charges?

Oksana Grigorieva submitted a photo in the custody case purporting to show Lucia's injury. But video from January 9 shows absolutely no evidence of an abrasion.
According to court documents, Mel's lawyers claim Oksana doctored the photo to prove a phantom injury - basically they say she's lying about Mel Gibson's abuse.
Mel admits he slapped Oksana January 6, but says it was one time, not hard, and only done to "bring her back to reality" because he feared she would hurt Lucia.
The day after the confrontation, Oksana took Lucia to her pediatrician, and made no mention of an injury, nor did the pediatrician see one. Very suspicious stuff.
