4. As a single woman, I google and check my state's court site before I consider a date. It sounds paranoid, but if I date someone with a history of beating women, am I not partly at fault? Not totally, but if you play with a snake you could get bit. So, you have to accept some part of the consiquences. Hello, google this guy and you can see what you can expect!!!!!!

5. Why havent his girlfriend's pictures been leaked to the media? Why isnt this story breaking new? Sizemore is a bigger star the Chris Brown, yet the media continues to whitewash this story. The media whitewash the head basketball coach of the University of Louisville. Pitino lied to his wife, he lied to his childre, he lied to the school AD, he lied to the fans, he lied to the players, yet the school was here one day and gone the next day. Such a classic example of whitewash. Some sport announcer had the nerve to say the rick pitino did not wrong, yeah, someone forgot to ask rick's wife.

6. This guy's life is gonna end badly. Actually I think I mean that eventually some woman involved with this timebomb is going to wind up dead. So her life will literally end badly, he's going to wind up in jail for life sometime down the road.

10. I love Tom Sizemore. He was great in Heat and Saving Private Ryan. It's sadd to see him fall like he has the last several years.

Makes you wonder if the majority of celebrities are pre-disposed to these types of problems...such as it going hand in hand with their higher than normal creativity.

11. If Chris Brown did not have a court history of hurting women, Rhianna is totally a victim. Abusive relationships are hard to get out of. If you know this going in, then you share some fault. That is the difference. If you are going to date a wife beater/girlfriend beater the law cannot help you. You cannot go to jail for what potential could happen. Check history. Assume history could repeat itself.

14. "As TMZ first reported, the former "Saving Private Ryan" actor..."

So, he's not in Saving Private Ryan anymore? That seems odd.

15. He should hire Chris Brown's lawyer, Mark G. What's going on with people these days? Why would someone be so violent?
