It took him more than five months, but Chris Brown is finally talking about his alleged assault of former girlfriend Rihanna. "Since February, my attorney has advised me not to speak out, even though, ever since the incident, I wanted to publicly express my deepest regret and accept full responsibility," he says in a video posted on YouTube. "I felt it was time that you heard directly from me that I am sorry." Brown, you'll recall, copped a plea last month and avoided jail time. Want to hear what the 20-year-old singer has to say?
