Chris Brown and camp are putting the word out there that they are in dire need of people who specialize in working miracles after a potentially career-ending crisis:
Embattled R&B singer Chris Brown has hired Mel Gibsons publicist in a bid to help limit the damage his recent arrest will have on his career. The Kiss Kiss hitmaker is facing possible jail time after he was charged by Los Angeles police with making criminal threats following a heated argument with ex-girlfriend Rihanna in the early hours of 8 February (09). The incident is said to have left the Umbrella star in need of hospital treatment and she has since returned to her native Barbados to recuperate. Brown broke his silence on the days events on Sunday (15Feb09), when he released a statement admitting he was saddened by the incident and claimed he was getting counselling from his pastor and his family. And the 19 year old is taking further steps to salvage his pop star status - by hiring Alan Nierob, the man who saved Gibsons movie career after his infamous anti-Semitic outburst in 2006, when he was arrested for driving under the influence (DUI).
But, there are also reports that he has hired another f*ck up fixer:
Chris Browns rumored list of damage control aid has grown to include Paris Hiltons former publicist Mike Sitrick.
Sitrick, known for aiding the sociailte after her highly publicized 24 hour jail stint a few years back, is now rumored to be helping Chris Brown in his quest to gain control of his legal woes and faltering image.
According to Fox411 columist Roger Friedman, Sitrick allegedly wrote the lame statement Brown issued Sunday where the singer takes on the press and bloggers who were making things up.
Friedman also says Sitrick is probably the only one who would take a gig with Chris Brown:
I know one press agency that turned him down cold. There were probably others. Flacks dont generally have consciences, but if they represent well known women whove taken stands against domestic abuse, theres no way they can represent Chris Brown.
Chris Brown is due in court March 5.
Either way it goes, they need someone to get on their job asaplike 10 days ago asap. Chop, chop, theres a career at stake here.
