Chris Brown told by judge he is 'doing well' since being released from jail

He has struggled in the past to curb his behaviour after a spell in jail.

But Chris Brown was told by a judge he was doing well and following his probation rules at a Los Angeles court on Wednesday.

The puffy-faced R&B star looked serious as he made a personal appearance for a progress report looking into his conduct since being freed from jail in June.

However it was all good news for the Say Goodbye favourite, with Judge James Brandlin reducing the 25-year-old's drug test requirement from three times to twice a week.

The convicted woman beater was also complimented on the fact he has been in compliance with his probation officer and cooperating with his therapist.

Unfortunately, while the probation department asked that his community labour requirement be increased from three days a week to four,  the request was denied.

Chris was looking smart but casual for his appearance, and was wearing a plaid shirt, T-shirt, jeans and made sure he added a touch of bling to his ensemble by donning a golden necklace.
