Where else would you talk about the event that made you infamous then Elton John's Oscars Party, what with all the press in the world being present. Chris Brown is after 'opening up' to the Mirror at Elton John's AIDS Foundation viewing party for the Academy Awards on Sunday, saying attacking Rihanna is the 'deepest regret' of his life, vowing never to hurt her again now that they're officially back together.

'Sometimes you row, you fight, with the one you love and things get said, stuff spirals. That night was the deepest regret of my life, the biggest mistake. But she loves me - what can I say? I'm forgiven... but, yes, I worked hard for it. I've learned a lot since that night and I've grown up. I was very young and I took a lot of stuff, fame, for granted. I didn't understand it. The support from those who do know me and the fans, who are incredible, got me through.' Even in a conversation about domestic assault, his priority remains him and his fame. Queue eyeroll.

Having been on the receiving end of one of Seth MacFarlane's monologue barbs at the Oscars, Brown also spoke about how people are constantly attacking him (because there's no irony in that) and how we'll never let him forget about it. 'People attack me and criticise me, it happens all the time. But they don't know me, and they don't know us. It doesn't bother me any more. Other people can judge us but they don't know anything.' Except that you made Rihanna look like this. That's what we know Chris.

Apart from gushing up a storm, Brown was also apparently the 'life of the party', happily posing for fans and chatting to everyone, reportedly 'bombarded by fans wanting to take pictures'. Unfortunately not literally.
