Brown's F.A.M.E. has produced three No. 1 singles ("Look at Me Now," "Deuces" and "No BS") and the singer has won five BET Awards. He will be performing at this year's MTV Video Music Awards after taking the stage in 2007.
"Ladies and gentlemen, particularly ladies, Chris Brown has been cast in a movie," Cooper said during his RidicuList segment earlier this week. "But, it's not just any movie, it’s a romantic comedy based on a self-help book about relationships. And I, for one, can not imagine why this did not happen sooner ... he just oozes romance."
Cooper went on to bring up Brown's violent outburst during a trip to ABC's Good Morning America.
