Jeff Berg's recently launched totally-different-but-really-just-more-of-the-same talent agency Resolution just signed multi-hyphenate dickhole Chris Brown.

The moonwalking grundle isn't just a semi-talented singer and ultra-talented woman abuser—he's also quite the actor. You can see him in this year's Oscar favorite Battle of the Year, a dance movie that is exactly the same as You Got Served if the other team on You Got Served was Korean, and if Roger from Sister, Sister was a giant shitbag who beat up girls for fun and then got tattoos about it.

When launching Resolution in January, Berg told Deadline "I spent a lot of time listening to execs, agents, producers, clients. And the overwhelming sense I got was there’s a real opportunity to do something new in the agency business." Given that every announcement of his agency to date has been signing acting and writing clientele, he's totally nailing this whole 'innovation' thing.

Not a Chris Brown apologist, but how come you guys aren't so hard on the following women beaters? ( Josh Brolin, Tommy Lee, Charlie Sheen, Terrence Howard, Bill Murray) Matter of fact, some of these guys are repeat offenders.

I wrote about Terrence Howard! http://defamer.gawker.com/the-six-times-…

Well, write a few pieces about the other guys I listed...I know Chris Brown is a douche, but he's not the poster child for women beaters.

He kind of is. Sorry. When the rest of your list does stuff, I will cover it as it breaks. Thanks!

Charlie Sheen shot a woman, and beat up multiple women. CB is worse?

I know what would make Chris Brown straighten up and be a "better" person: Constantly writing about how much he sucks. That will cause him to self evaluate and realize how bad of a person he is. This always works. Always.

Who wants to make Chris Brown a better person? I wouldn't waste my hard earned $2 Wet N Wild lipstick on that pig.

Pretty Terry Beejoli Shah 09/09/13 04:43PM

Then what is the point? I'm not being flippant (at this point). I'm seriously curious what the fascination with him is. Is it just because he's a celebrity? If so, I can completely accept that. In my mind he's no better or worse than the majority of people on the planet. He just gets to have all of his fuck ups play out on the public stage, instead of behind closed doors.

Also, you wouldn't waste the lipstick, but you'd "waste" the words?

You've commented on more than one Gawker Media post about him, so you certainly get "the fascination with him".

Beejoli Shah Pretty Terry 09/09/13 05:40PM

I'm actually not fascinated with him at all, I'm writing about the Hollywood industry. So as someone who worked in it for a long time, and now writes about it, it's really upsetting and gross to see an agency want to work with someone who has a rep like this. FWIW I feel this way about a lot of other known moral black holes (see: Terrence Howard) and the people who choose to align with them, because money trumps morals. This article was not another Chris Brown slam piece because Breezy is fun to go after, it was about exposing Resolution for being willing to get in bed with him just to take 10% of his dirty money.

GIRL: It's Roger from "Sister, Sister." "Smart Guy" had Taj Mowry, alternate-Mowry-twin Essence Atkins, and improvement-on-Cuba Omar Gooding.

Regarding Chris Brown: Oh. Yuck.

Beejoli Shah bobosaget 09/09/13 04:32PM

Fuck me, you are totally right. Whoops. Blame it on all the Disney XD late night airings of Smart Guy that I totally don't watch and DVR religiously or anything.

To paraphrase Menken: No one ever went broke underestimating the misogyny of the American public.
