His records have gone platinum, but Wednesday, singer Chris Brown was wearing fluorescent orange to pull weeds.
The disgraced 20-year-old R&B star began serving 180 days of community labor at a Virginia police-horse stable for beating up his ex-girlfriend Rihanna.
Brown donned a red cap, work gloves and a fluorscent orange vest over a white 'wife-beater' t-shirt - in contrast to the designer suits he's accustomed to.
'Check out my outfit,' Brown said in an afternoon Internet 'tweet' that included a picture of himself in his work duds.
The California judge who sentenced Brown in August granted his request to do his community labor near his home in Richmond after receiving assurances from Virginia officials that hed' be doing hard work.
Richmond Police spokesman Gene Lepley said Brown's schedule will be flexible and include assignments like washing government cars, picking up trash and cleaning up graffiti.
"We'll just take a look at it day by day and certainly would ask for the cooperation of the public and Chris' fans so that he is able to satisfy the work requirements.
While Brown's work hours were supposed to be secret, he clued the paparazzi in to his whereabouts Wednesday through his missives on Twitter.
"On my way to community service...." he tweeted en route to the Richmond Police stable.
News crews kept far away from Brown, who waved at a few fans who saw him working.
Besides doing roadside work, Brown also must undergo a year of domestic violence counseling.
The "Kiss Kiss" singer pleaded guilty in June to felony assault stemming from an incident in February in which he beat, choked and threatened to kill Rihanna after leaving a pre-Grammy Awards party in Los Angeles.
