For a minute - a brief minute - it looked like Chris Brown was doing well on the comeback trail.
On the heels of a scorching hot 'Saturday Night Live' appearance, the platinum-selling R&B hottie is readying the release of his new album, 'F.A.M.E.,' via Jive Records on March 22, which has already yielded radio hits with 'No. B.S.' and 'Look at Me Now' (featuring Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes).
And while his presence on radio and television seems to be along the lines of a winning formula, his Internet activity, on the other hand, has become quite questionable.
Last week, the zeitgeist was all abuzz about Brown mysteriously bleaching his hair blond.
This week, the world truly can see that the curtains don't match the rug.
Nude photos of the 21-year-old Grammy Award-nominated singer (or someone with a striking resemblance to him) have allegedly been leaked - to the Website worldstarhiphop.com.
Brown appears to have taken the full frontal shot while standing in front of a mirror with his camera phone.
Brown's current spokesperson, Tammy Brook, did not respond to queries about the photos today.The 'This Christmas' star had one of the most promising music and movie careers before he and his then-girlfriend, pop singer Rihanna, had a tabloid-ready physical altercation in the streets of Los Angeles on Feb. 8, 2009. Since then, brutal photos of the Bajan beauty circulated like wildfire making her the face of domestic violence. Meanwhile, Brown - who is known as the culprit of the abuse - has had a hard time returning to his glory.
Last year, after lengthy legal proceedings and performing community service, the Tappahannock, Va., native starred in the box-office hit 'Takers,' alongside Idris Elba, Paul Walker, Michael Ely and T.I. - signaling that a comeback could be on the horizon. Musically, however, he's had setbacks. His latest album, 'Graffiti,' didn't live up to his previous two releases and was a critical disappointment.
