(Newser) – Chris Brown seems to be doing pretty well, all things considered—not only is he reportedly holed up in Diddy’s Miami mansion with the girlfriend he’s accused of assaulting, he’s also been recording tracks for a new album, E! reports. Though he shot down rumors of partying with Khloe Kardashian on Saturday, the singer hasn’t exactly been laying low—he’s been photographed jet skiing and looking relaxed, but as the Mail points out—with no Rihanna in sight.
