Chris Brown's Restraining Order Lifted

Things just keep getting better for Chris Brown. His restraining order involving Rihanna has been lifted. You can read more about that below. In addition to that you can check out the tracklisting of his new album and Aretha Franklin speaks out on Fantasia's decision to skip the Grammy's! Check it out!

In a downtown Los Angeles court on Tuesday, a judge altered the restraining order imposed upon the singer following his brutal beating of then-girlfriend Rihanna after a 2009 pre-Grammy Awards party.

The restraining order has been replaced by a "level one order." Brown, who was in court with his attorney Mark Geragos, is now allowed to be around Rihanna, provided he abides by certain conditions.

"I'm approving the order," Judge Patricia Schnegg told Brown, according to Radar Online. "You can't annoy, molest, or conduct surveillance of the person on the order."

Rihanna was not present in the courtroom, but her lawyer, Donald Etra, was. "I have spoken with my client, and she does not object to it being modified to a level one order," he said.

It's been just over two years since the assault, which resulted in Brown being ordered to stay at least 50 feet away from Rihanna. Brown pleaded guilty to assault and was sentenced to five years probation and more than 1400 hours of "labor-oriented service."

In November, Schnegg praised Brown for his progress since his initial sentencing. "Of all probationers I've ever had, and I've had thousands of probationers, no one has ever done a better or more consistent job than you have," the judge said at a progress hearing, and on Tuesday, she spoke positively of Brown's participation in domestic violence counseling.

Aretha Franklin Speaks On Fantasia's Grammy Boycott!

“I was sorry to hear that Fantasia was upset because she did not get the opportunity to participate in my GRAMMY Tribute this year. I recall that in the past, Fantasia participated in both my MusicCares Person of the Year Tribute and my United Negro College Fund Tribute. Fantasia is still young in the business and although we all love and appreciate her she must understand that in this business of show business she will not always get to participate in everything she would like to participate in. I’m sure it was not an intentional omission. I will see Fantasia over the summer here in Detroit.”
