According to Chris Brown's management, the R&B star will not be conducting any interviews for the new year. He knows what he did in the past was wrong and is sick of interviews that end up being about his past.

According to his manager Tina Davis, “We’re not trying to be rude, selfish or disrespectful to anyone in anyway. If people are going to judge anything, judge him for his talent.”

Chris Brown is currently in talks with representatives of this year's Grammy Awards about possibly performing for the show.
