Chris Brown is about to show up in court for his probation progress report in the Rihanna case.

Sources say Brown will tell the judge he's on track with his community service -- performing 4 days of it every week. We're told he'll also say he's attending one anger management course a week.

Whether you like it or not, that 180 days of hard labor isn't keeping Chris Brown from making new beats.

Brown hit Justin.tv today to thank his fans for their support and promised (warned?) he's "still here, trying to make as much music as possible ... while doing the community service at the same time."
What a multitasker!

Don't be fooled by Chris Brown's candy coated Twitter message this morning saying "on my way to community service" -- because quoting the judge that sentenced him, Brown will be forced to do "actual physical labor, as opposed to some type of community service."

Brown was sentenced last month to 180 days hard labor -- which he's serving in his hometown of Richmond, Virginia -- along with a 52-week domestic violence program, five years probation and a whole bunch of other stuff.
Only 179 more days to go...

Chris Brown may have to complete court ordered hard labor in Virginia as a part of his penance for beating up Rihanna ... but he's got a pretty cushy place to rest his head while doing it.

Brown recently twittered pics of the home -- filled with enough distractions to last a lifetime -- where he sought refuge after the infamous incident with his former girlfriend Rihanna.
Ironically, part of Chris' hard labor sentence will likely involve graffiti cleanup.

For a guy dressed in a bright yellow outfit, you'd think Chris Brown would be more welcoming to the attention he got when he landed at LAX last night.

Brown's in L.A. for a date with L.A. County Superior Court where he'll be sentenced to five years probation and six months of community service in Virginia, his home state. Rihanna is not expected to show up.
We'll be there live streaming the whole thing.

The kid who plays Vincent Crabbe in the 'Harry Potter' movies just lucked out in London court -- getting 120 hours of community service for a drug charge that could have scored him 14 years in the slammer.
Jamie Waylett -- who appears in all six "Potter" flicks -- was busted back in April when cops found eight bags of weed in the car in which he was riding. Cops searched his mom's place after and found 10 marijuana plants.
Waylett pleaded guilty last week. The judge yesterday said he accepted that the cultivation was on a small scale and for the actor's own use.
UPDATE: We're told by the Ministry of Justice in London, his community service could include clearing graveyards, cleaning graffiti, picking up trash, chopping down overgrown trees clearing, leaves and clearing ditches.

It's hard to dispute a .175 blood alcohol level -- which is why actor Sam Shepard just pled guilty to DUI and speeding.
Shepard -- who starred in "The Notebook" and "Swordfish" -- told an Illinois judge during today's 20-minute hearing, "I never intend to drive under the influence again... it's not worth it." Sam was busted last month for driving 46 MPH in a residential zone while sauced.
He was fined $600 plus court costs, placed on 24 months court supervision, has to complete an alcohol treatment course and 100 hours of community service, according to the pantagraph.com.
