Chris Brown is continuing to complete his sentence for attacking his ex-girlfriend Rihanna in February 2009. The singer, who turned 21 this week, appeared in an L.A. court yesterday to give the judge an update on his domestic-violence counseling and community-service sentence, according to the Associated Press.

Brown's attorney, Mark Geragos, said the R&B singer has completed nearly 300 hours of his community service. He expects that he should be done by October of this year.

Brown, who beat up Rihanna, 22, en route to the Grammy Awards in February 2009, was sentenced to five years of probation and six months of community labor. He is due back in court for another update in August.

Recently, the singer -- who has struggled to get his music back on the radio  since the violent incident tarnished his image -- has reportedly been helping raise money for Haiti earthquake relief. Brown assured celebrity gossip website PopEater.com that his charitable actions have no ulterior motives: "It's not press or PR."
