Chris Brown Lands a Role in Steve Harvey's Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man

Stomp the Yard fans, please assemble yourselves and field this life-affirming announcement: Chris Brown, who was good in Stomp the Yard (Jen Yamato assures me), is reportedly starring in a romantic-comedic adaptation of Steve Harvey's bestselling advice manual Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man. Is this exciting? Problematic? Should we try and sink him with Rihanna's aircraft carrier from Battleship? More details follow.

Rolling Stone claims Harvey's 2009 book "provides 'some valuable information' to empower women about how to better deal with the men in their lives." Does this mean Brown is playing a player-type beau? How dicey! And perhaps delicious. Look, after I started tolerating his song that rips off Michael Jackson's "Human Nature," I remembered that Brown is damn talented. I don't want to meet him, but he might be great for this part.

What do you think? Psyched? Not psyched? Is a disgraced reputation forever?
