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!

Sporting a Storm Trooper necklace, convicted felon Chris Brown took time out from doing 180 days of court-ordered hard labor to spend a lovely afternoon shopping in L.A. this weekend.
Everyone knows the force is with Chris ... that's how he got in trouble in the first place.

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.

Where to begin?!?
1) Smiling whilst performing hard labor for beating your girlfriend is generally considered bad form.
2) Felons convicted of assault aren't ideal candidates for wielding a hand saw.
3) Employing the services of a private bodyguard seems like overkill when police have it covered.
4) Brown is using his third-wheel bodyguard to promote the T-shirts he's been twittering about. We didn't know billboards were allowed in Richmond.

We finally got video from Chris Brown's first day of hard labor -- a day that included waving to cameras, adoring fans ... and hours of actual, respectable, tough sweat-inducing work.
In the footage, obtained by NBC12 in Virginia, Brown can be seen using a rake to hack away at weeds -- while sporting an orange vest, a wifebeater and a stylish red baseball cap.
Several times during his court-ordered day of cleanup, Brown took a break from the weed-pulling to wave and smile for the cameras ... while armed police officers monitored the entire thing.
After his day was over, Brown was allowed to return to his home ... where he's already Twittering again.

UPDATE: Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Chris Brown has been placed on the roadside cleanup crew for the day -- which means he'll spend 3-5 hours picking weeds and picking up trash on the side of the road. The next time Chris reports for hard labor -- which may not be tomorrow -- he could be assigned to different tasks.
Roads in Richmond, Virginia are going to be a whole lot cleaner now -- but not necessarily safer -- because Chris Brown officially kicked off his 180 day hard labor sentence this morning with a little roadside cleanup.
Honk if you hate domestic violence.

We now know what hard labor tasks Chris Brown will be forced to perform in Richmond, Virginia -- and part of it involves one trendy, reflective orange vest and a whole lot of brush clearing.
Richmond City Councilman Doug Conner -- who works with the city's hard labor program -- tells us Brown will begin his 8-hour work day at 8:00 AM when a Department of Corrections bus picks him up, along with 30-40 other offenders.
Conner says Brown will wear a reflective orange vest and pick up trash and litter along highways and roads. He'll also have to trim brush along medians, remove gang graffiti from the VCU campus, and wash the inside and outside of law enforcement vehicles.
Conner says Brown will be kept "under the watchful eye of a supervisor" to make sure he doesn't cut any corners.
