Chris Brown may have Rihanna back, but trouble keeps finding him. The singer was forced to return to court last week to address accusations that he’d faked performing some of the community service on his sentence for assaulting Rihanna four years ago. The judge gave him two months to prove he’d actually done the service. Then, a few days later, Brown drove into a wall and totaled his $160,000 Porsche Turbo S in Los Angeles, during what he claimed was an attempt to outrun paparazzi. Finally, Brown lost the Grammy competition for Best Contemporary Urban Album to bitter rival Frank Ocean, with whom he had a fistfight last month over a parking space. Brown refused to stand during the ovation for Ocean’s victory, and later found himself caught on camera being chewed out by British singer Adele for being a bad loser.
