Since Chris Brown last appeared in a Los Angeles court, he dropped his X album, released a collaborative project with Trey Songz, kept steady gigs, and has managed to stay out of the salacious-headlines cycle (except for that one about Ebola).

All things considered, Judge James Brandlin said this week that the singer's probation is going well.

Brown was in court Thursday (Oct. 23) for a progress report. Brandlin told him that he's been cooperative, and to make certain that he wraps this up by the scheduled end of his probation (in January), he'll have to take more community service hours –– bumping up his court-ordered labor from three days per week to four. 

But fear not, Team Breezy. He's still scheduled to host a VIP Halloween weekend bash in Chicago next week.
