Chris Brown – It’s not just the criminal charges for battery that could jolt female fans, but it’s his evolving look. He was most recently pictured on XXL magazine cover with a gold grill, gaudy jewelry and his arms covered in graffiti-looking tattoos. He’s looking more and more like a fair-skinned Lil Wayne than the smooth, clean cut R&B crooner we once adored. This may or may not be problematic for his diehard fans, but it may alarm some sponsors, whose contracts are often more lucrative than recording deals. Will it be mayhem over money for Brown? A good publicist would steer him toward longevity in earnings and away from situations that would threaten this.
