A couple of weeks ago, Chris Brown piggybacked on the announcement of Rihanna's new album with news of his own comeback tour and the release of photos from his Transformers-inspired video. Then last night, shortly after ABC started teasing excerpts of Rihanna's interview with Good Morning America about being beaten by Brown, he — by sheer coincidence! — unveiled the cover of his upcoming record, Graffiti (which even Adam Lambert fans think is ridiculous). On it, Brown is wearing what looks like a pair of Rihanna's pants and hovering above a trio of cartoon goblins which he seems poised to attack with a guitar. An inspired choice.
