Chris Brown has done one amazing job of making sure beating the crap out of Rihanna has barely affected his life. From his career to his social life, people are hanging off Chris as much as ever – maybe even more. Let’s be honest, before the Rihanna incident, he was one of many R&B singers who was decent but definitely not the best known. Now everyone knows the guys name. I guess what they say is true about no such thing as bad publicity. Unless you have, you know, dignity or anything.

Chris has been spending most of his time with “Rihanna look-alike” Teyana Taylor – until Saturday, when he hooked up with Kanye West’s on-again, off-again girlfriend Amber Rose.

Singer Chris Brown may have scared off some women by beating up his ex, Rihanna, but Kanye West’s on-and-off girlfriend, Amber Rose, apparently isn’t one of them. Brown and Rose locked lips at the July 4 White Party thrown by Sean (Diddy) Combs and Ashton Kutcher in Beverly Hills, spies tell the Daily News. Brown, 20, arrived at the party with singer Teyana Taylor, an 18-year-old Rihanna look-alike, but is said to have hooked up quickly with Rose.

“Diddy announced the deejay would do a tribute to Michael Jackson,” said a guest. “Chris did an amazing impression of Michael’s moonwalk. It wasn’t long before he was dancing with Amber.” Later, as the party wound down, the pair nestled on a couch in the backyard of the Beverly Hills mansion. “They were holding hands and making out in the shadows,” said a witness. “She had her hand on his leg.”

Taylor is said to have been irked by the amount of time Brown spent with Rose, but still accompanied him to an after-party at the club Guys. There, Brown again got upclose and personal with Rose, who is 26. “They were kissing on the dance floor in front of Teyana,” said a witness. “But he and Amber left separately.”

The whole thing sounds pretty immature, desperate, and high school-ish. Not that I’m surprised, but how jerkish was Brown to Teyana? And how much of a doormat is she to then go with him to their next stop of the night? How did that conversation go? “Sure baby, stick your tongue down the bald girls’ throat, I’m sorry if I got in your way.”

By most accounts (though certainly not all), Kanye was on Rihanna’s side of the whole “Who should take the blame for Chris Brown beating the crap out of Rihanna” debacle (because according to a lot of celebrities, it was a really complicated issue and hard to tell who was right and who was wrong). Kanye wields a ton of power in the music industry. Clearly Chris has learned that because he suffered no real consequences whatsoever for beating the living daylights out of one of music’s biggest stars, he can do whatever he wants. And while sticking his tongue down Amber’s throat isn’t any big offense, going out of his way to piss off Kanye West is perhaps the second dumbest thing Chris Brown has ever done.
