Rihanna’s camp has declined to officially comment on Chris Brown’s apology statement, but sources close to the “Umbrella” star say she is “appalled” by Chris’ half-hearted gesture.
On Sunday, the “Kiss, Kiss” crooner released a statement saying he was “sorry and saddened… over what transpired,” but did not go into detail about the alleged assault
“All of us, including Rihanna, don’t understand how he can say he’s sorry on the one hand, but still… does not admit any guilt,” Rihanna’s Barbados-based pal blabbed to the Chicago Sun-Times on Tuesday. “He should have expressed more contrition.”
Chris is due in court in Los Angeles on charges of making criminal threats against Rihanna on March 5.

Egotistical MC Kanye West covers the March 2009 issue of Details.
“First beat I did was in seventh grade, on my computer. I got into doing beats for the video games I used to try to make. My game was very sexual. The main character was, like, a giant penis. It was like Mario Brothers, but the ghosts were, like, vaginas. Mind you, I’m 12 years old, and this is stuff 30-year-olds are programming. You’d have to draw in and program every little step—it literally took me all night to do a step, ’cause the penis, y’know, had little feet and eyes.”
Kanye on Gay People: “Titles are very important. I like to embody titles, y’know, or words that have negative connotations, and explain why that’s good,” he says. “Take the word gay—like, in hip-hop, that’s a negative thing, right? But in the past two, three years, all the gay people I’ve encountered have been, like, really, really, extremely dope. Y’know, I haven’t, like, gone to a gay bar, nor do I ever plan to. But where I would talk to a gay person—the conversation would be mostly around, like, art or design—it’d be really dope. From a design standpoint, kids’ll say, ‘Dude, those pants are gay.’ But if it’s, like, good, good, good fashion-level, design-level stuff, where it’s on a higher level than the average commercial design stuff, it’s, like, gay people that do that. I think that should be said as a compliment. Like, ‘Dude, that’s so good it’s almost . . . gay.’”
