CHRIS BROWN PROBATION REVOKED

Somebody still got some serious problems, Chris Brown’s probation was revoked by a Los Angeles judge on Monday after an alleged hit-and-run accident.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney filed a motion to revoke Brown’s probation after he was charged with misdemeanor hit-and-run and driving without a valid license. After reviewing the case, Superior Court Judge James Brandlin decided to revoke Brown’s probation in the 2009 assault of Rihanna.

“In this matter, probation is revoked,” said Brandlin (via AP).

 The R&B singer was not taken into custody and was released on his own recognizance. He is due back in court on August 16, where a judge will decide whether he actually violated his probation.

Brown’s lawyer Mark Geragos hopes the matter will be resolved informally without a major probation hearing.

Shortly before appearing in court, Brown tweeted about the hit-and-run accident. “I did everything I was suppose to do during the so called hit n run, I provided the correct info. There were no injuries or damages. C’mon!!” he said.

If the judge determines that Brown has indeed violated his probation, he faces up to four years in prison.

North West daddy, Kanye West is not only making waves on the charts, but also in the fashion world. Moments after going on sale, his men’s clothing collection with French brand A.P.C. sold out.  Apparently everybody wants to look like Kayne these days.

After it launched Sunday at 10 a.m. Paris time, the nine-piece capsule collection crashed the site and was soon unavailable.

The pricey line consists of two pairs of jeans priced at $265, long and short-sleeved hoodies ($250-280), and “Hip-Hop T-shirt” that costs $120.

Kanye worked closely with A.P.C. designer Jean Touitou on the collection, which took two years to create. “Over the months, we kept hanging out and finally came up with the idea of doing a small capsule collection of clothes together,” said Touitou. “‘Small’ meaning that this capsule collection consists of a jean, a hoodie and a T-shirt. Those are precious to me and to Kanye too, because it took time and thoughts to get there.”

According to People, A.P.C. has restocked some items and is accepting pre-orders for other sold-out items through Wednesday at 1 p.m.  Sorry we just don't get it, hit the snooze button on these looks!
