   ABC wants to air first joint interview with Chris Brown and Rihanna, claims report

Late last week, Chris Brown let his temper get the best of him when he thrashed his dressing room by throwing a chair through a window, right after his Good Morning America interview. ABC wants him back.

The interview was meant to promote his latest album “F.A.M.E,” which came out last week, but, for some reason, GMA host Robin Roberts kept asking Chris questions about the Rihanna incident.

Though he made it clear that he was on the show to promote his music, Roberts kept pushing him, as the video below will confirm.

After he was done with it and he performed, Brown proceeded to trashing his dressing room, reportedly ripping off his shirt and throwing a chair through a window.

Not only is ABC not going to press charges for the incident but it’s reportedly hard at work to get Brown back for a new interview, E! Online reports.

The idea is to milk this for what it’s worth – and hopes are high that ABC may actually succeed where many others have failed already in getting Brown and Rihanna to do their first interview together since he beat her up.

Sources at ABC have confirmed to me that producers want to ‘milk this event for everything it’s worth,’ high moral news standards (and, one assumes, laws, especially those involving convicted felons and their subsequent behavior) be damned,” E! writes.

Brown will still appear on Dancing With the Stars, the popular dance competition on the same network, but there’s something bigger at work here: possibly a joint interview with Rihanna.

“What’s far more likely is orchestrating Chris Brown talking to Rihanna for the first time,” says a network source for E! Online.

The interview, it would seem, would be conducted by the same Roberts, even though Brown has made no secret about how he felt “exploited” on his latest GMA appearance by the same interviewer.

But ABC is determined to make this happen no matter what, because it believes this is the story that will boost ratings like no other.

“It’s all about the ratings. At all other costs,” says the same source.

Until that happens – if ever – below is a fragment of Chris Brown’s GMA appearance, when he lost his cool as Roberts kept pushing him about Rihanna instead of speaking of his album.
