Chris Brown Talks Negative Image, New Music on Today

Chris Brown is slowly but surely getting back to business—he just isn't saying much about it. After suffering a seizure during a recording session earlier this month, the 24-year-old "Fine China" singer appeared on Today's Friday, August 30, broadcast. "I'm good, I'm good," Brown said, referring to his recent seizure. "Just needed some rest. That's it."

Brown was then reminded of a previous Today interview where he vowed to promote positivity. As cohost Matt Lauer pointed out, "Some of the social media messages you've been sending out recently have been on the negative side. What's going on?"

"Uh, it's not my music," Brown explained, clearly not wanting to address his ongoing legal troubles. Changing the subject, he told the crowd, "I love my fans."

Asked about rumors of retirement, the Virginia native replied, "I'm just putting out the music right now. As far as how I work, I'm always going to continue to work for my fans and make sure they have fun." In early August, Brown tweeted that his upcoming album, X, will "probably be my last album." He has since deleted that tweet.

Brown also said his "God-given talent" and his "fans" inspire him to keep making music. "All my fans make me who I am," he explained.

The singer-songwriter did not address his community service requirements, nor did he mention being cleared in a hit-and-run case on Aug. 15.

Miley Cyrus isn't having the most wunderbar of times in Germany.

The star gave her regrets to her fans today after what turned out to be food poisoning forced her to cancel an appearance.

"Sick in bed :( away from home. Music is the best medicine," she tweeted this morning, followed by, "Sorry 2 Bild and all my fans for not being able to make it today! Something's are outta my control. I'm really sick thanks for understanding."

She was reportedly due at a meet-and-greet with fans at the Berlin office of German newspaper Bild.

But apparently Miley wasn't able to spend her day recuperating, tweeting about an hour later, "And I apologize in advance to any reporters I may puke on or get sick. #norestforthewicked."

The "We Can't Stop" singer did manage at least one sit-down, with Promiflash (though it's unclear whether this was before or after falling ill, the clip hit the Internet ), telling the celeb news site all about the new tattoo she was thinking of getting.

"I was thinking about maybe getting 'Chris Brown' across this cheek," she said, pointing to the left side of her face. "It would be really good for my career."

Well, at least it probably wouldn't be a style statement that anyone would rush to imitate, the way folks did with her short platinum cut, according to the trendsetter herself.

"Hopefully my hair grows really quick and next time you see me I'll have a pony down to my butt," she said. "I just always want to be different. Everyone else has cut their hair to look just like me, so now I got to do something different. I don't like when you walk in and you see a bunch of other yous."

Also today, Miley tweeted about watching the Hilary Swank tear-jerker P.S. I Love You ("Saddest moviiiiie") and at one point wondered whether she had been hacked—a tweet she soon deleted.

Figuring it out a bit later, she tweeted, "Never mind. Realized I'm just an idiot & somehow I butt tweeted my conversation. Missing home #foodpoisoningsabitch."
