Singer Moving On From Rihanna To Next Victim

Chris Brown isn't going to let a little thing like his arraignment get in the way of having a good time. Rumors are swirling that the persona non grata has a maybe-girlfriend, and it's either his old/new hometown girlfriend Erica Jackson or replacement pop singer Girlicious star Natalie Mejia.

Brown and his old flame, University of Mary Washington student Erica Jackson, reportedly connected a few weeks ago when Chris Brown was in town, and they have since been spending a lot of time together.

And the controversial singer was snapped coming out of the Sunset Boulevard tattoo parlor with Nicole Scherzinger wannbe Natalie over the weekend.

Natalie wouldn't get into specifics on her relationship with Brown, but said, "Things are going well between us." No word on the new body art but "dumb ass" would be appropriate. Or "I'm with Stupid."

All of this two-timing (or is it three-timing since Brown and Rihanna are supposedly just on a relationship time out?) leads to two questions:

1) Have these women been living in a cave in the middle of nowhere with no satellite TV since February when Brown (allegedly) beat the crap out of Rihanna? Yeah, yeah, "innocent until proven guilty" blah, blah but damn, surely there must be a fellah or two out there with no whiff of scandal or bruised knuckles they could have hooked up with.

2) Why, for the love of God, would anyone date Chris Brown!? Natalie probably needs the publicity before her girl group goes the way of Danity Kane, but if you need buzz THAT badly, accidentally on purpose leak a sex tape with Ray J or have lunch at the Ivy or something and just wait for TMZ to show up.

Seriously, even Lindsay Lohan co-signs this as the ultimate bad idea of bad ideas. Queen Oprah doesn't come off her throne to offer counsel to mere C-listers so we offer this suggestion: Duck and roll, ladies. Duck and roll.
