LOS ANGELES – Singing Teen heartthrob Chris Brown, who was arrested a week ago in connection with a domestic violence investigation, says he is "sorry and saddened" over what happened.
In a brief statement released through publicist Michael Sitrick on Sunday, Brown says he is seeking counseling from loved ones and his family pastor members.
"I am seeking the counseling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones, with God's help, I will emerge a better person," he stated.

Los Angeles, WBLI (106.1-FM) plans to pull all of Brown's songs from its rotation Friday and poll listeners on whether they should be reinstated. "Yes, you are innocent until proven guilty," said Bryan O’Quinn, BSM Entertainment’s music marketing specialist. However what is the purpose of banning his music? At this point if you are going to ban his you should ban hers too. To say he is male and is physically stronger is just not going to get it because one could argue that she is female and she socially stronger. If you are going to ban one in all fairness you have to ban the other. Besides where are these kids’ parents? I just don’t see where they were raised right!”

(Currently, the vote is 51 to 49 percent against banning Brown's songs. Surprisingly many are divided on the issue.)
Chris Brown was booked by Los Angeles police on Feb. 8 for allegedly making a criminal threat. He has not been charged by the district attorney and is free on $50,000 bail while the case is under investigation.
