In other news Chris Brown can’t seem to catch a break. Yesterday the singer was sentenced to 90 days in rehab by a judge in L.A.

E! News reports that L.A. Superior Court Judge James Brandlin agreed with the probation department and sentenced Chris to spend another three months in a residential treatment facility.  While of course Breezy will have to submit to drug testing and take medication as prescribed by a doctor.  On top of that Chris will also have to complete another 24 hours of community service a week during this rehab stint.

As previously reported the 23-year old entertainer checked himself into rehab on October 29^th shortly after his arrest for assault against a man at a DC hotel.  His stay was short lived as he reportedly was kicked out of the Malibu facility after he allegedly threw a rock through his mother’s car window.

It’s no secret that Chris Brown has been dealing with a lot of legal issues over the last several months. However, as it turns out the R&B superstar has also been dealing with clinical mental and emotional issues.  Radar Online got access to documents which indicate that Brown suffers from Attention Deficit Disorder and depression and is being treated for those conditions while in rehab.

The rehab center released a statement in regard to Chris's stay saying simply,

"Our hope is that Mr Brown will re-engage in treatment and get the help he requires for his dual diagnosis issues and become a positive role model in society that we absolutely believe he has the ability to become."
