Chris Brown pleaded guilty to felony assault today in Los Angeles in a deal with prosecutors. Brown was sentenced to probation and community service for beating then-girlfriend Rihanna in a February incident. He must also stay 50 yards away from Rihanna unless the two are present at the same event, in which case he must stay 10 yards away from her, and he is forbidden from contacting her in any way. The deal includes 180 days of community service such as trash removal in Virginia (where Brown resides), along with fiveyears of supervised probation and a court-mandated 52-week domestic violencecounseling program. (The singer had faced up to four years in prison if convicted.)

Rihanna was not present at the hearing until Brown left the courtroom, at which point she arrived and was given a copy of the judge's stay-away order for Brown. She made no statement. Brown will be formally sentenced on Aug. 5. (Additional reporting by John Young)

FX's graphic plastic surgery drama Nip/Tuck filmed its final (and, coincidentally, its 100th) episode on June 12, but the episode most likely won't air until sometime in 2011. FX first announced that the show would end in 2011 at last year's summer press tour. "It's sad because it feels incomplete," script supervisor Diana Valentine said to the LA Times.

The series, created by Ryan Murphy (Glee) and starring Julian McMahon and Dylan Walsh, won the 2005 Golden Globe for Best Drama Series and ran for five seasons. The final episode will reportedly feature a final dinner scene involving most of the show's major characters.
