Chris Brown is not only paying his debt to society -- he's also paying for an extra security team to protect him while he's doing it ... and we know how much the hired muscle is gonna cost him.
Besides the normal police supervision, we're told Brown had an extra three off-duty cops watching over him during his first two days in the hard labor program. We're told each off-duty cop makes a minimum of $28 per hour -- and since Brown requested their service, he's responsible for paying them.
Even if Brown knocks it down to one extra cop per day -- for the remaining 178 days he has left to serve -- and even if the extra cop only works a 5 hour day ... Brown will still be in the hole $25,760.
Ironic that a guy convicted of felony assault is paying so much for protection.

Chris Brown had a blast on a jet ski Thursday in Miami, where he's spending time with Rihanna -- the woman he allegedly beat just weeks earlier.
Chris -- who looks like he's recreating the wind up leading to the punch that left Rihanna bloodied and bruised -- doesn't seem to have a care in the world.
And here's an interesting tidbit: Rihanna is being shadowed by one of Jay Z's beefy bodyguards.

TMZ has learned that the two bodyguards involved in a fight with paparazzi in Israel yesterday were not arrested as first reported, but were taken to a local police station for questioning.
According to sources connected with the incident, a group of paparazzi dangerously swarmed Leonardo DiCaprio and his girlfriend Bar Refaeli as the couple tried to board their van after a visit to the Western Wall. We're told the that the intense crush left the van with severe body damage.
After the celeb couple left the scene, several members of the paparazzi complained to local police that they had been assaulted by two security guards who were working for the star. Those two guards were brought in for questioning. After sorting out the details, police issued several 30-day restraining orders against the paps, ordering them to stay away from Leo and Bar.
According to Reuters, photographers waited for the couple outside nearby tunnels. The visit of the "Departed" star and his S.I. girlfriend has stirred up a media frenzy in Israel.

Esther Tognozzi, owner of the salon in Tarzana where Britney speared her hair on Friday, gave a call-in interview this morning to Los Angeles' 102.7 KIIS FM's On Air with Ryan Seacrest. Esther told Ryan Seacrest that Britney's hairtastrophe could have been a publicity stunt.
Tognozzi claims that she had closed the blinds so that no one would see Britney's meltdown, and yet pictures that surfaced from paparazzi agencies are all so clear -- it's as if the photogs were in the shop, which Esther insisted was not the case. When asked if bodyguards had opened the blinds, her response was, "I think so."

Ever since Borat first began telling the world about his beautiful home country of Kazakhstan (a urine-drinking, jew-hating, inbred society), officials from the Kazakh tourism department have been pulling their hair out in frustration. They've already managed to shut down Borat's website, convinced most Kazakh movie theaters to ban the upcoming film and spent a ton of money in a desperate image-saving publicity campaign.
Now, after skewering the bumbling reporter in the media, the good folks from Kazakhstan are inviting Borat, aka Sacha Baron Cohen, to visit the country as an invited guest. Deputy foreign minister Rakhat Aliyev told a local Kazakhstan news agency that Borat could learn that "women drive cars, wine is made of grapes and jews are free to go to synagogues." While he doesn't agree with Borat's criticism of Kazakhstan, he believes that his fellow countrymen, "must have a sense of humor and respect the creative freedom of others."
This all sounds good, but maybe Borat should invest in a few large bodyguards before his official visit. Just in case.
