Chris Brown's Australian fans probably won't get to see the superstar perform in their country because immigration officials want to keep him out because of his 2009 Rihanna assault.
"People need to understand if you are going to commit domestic violence and then you want to travel around the world, there are going to be countries that say to you, 'You cannot come in because you are not of the character we expect in Australia," immigration officials said in a statement.
The singer has three December dates booked for Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. Those shows are up in the air while local officials decide whether to accept or reject Chris' visa application.
The activist group Getup! has started a petition calling for Immigration Minister Peter Dutton to deny Chris' entry into the country.
"I'm clearly not going to preempt a decision by the minister, however I can assure you what my strong recommendation would be," Australian Minister for Women, Michaelia Cash said Thursday.
He's already been turned down in Britain, Canada and New Zealand, according to TMZ.

47th&7th/Empire presents new singer/songwriter Lexz Pryde and her single Motivate ft. Snoop Dogg from her upcoming EP Cyberspace.
It’s not every day that an emerging artist has a chance to make a song with an established music legend. Often, the opportunity can be a vehicle to help gain valuable credibility and visibility. But when a song’s theme runs parallel with an artist’s struggle, success almost seems destined.
Such is the story of Motivate, the song artist Lexz Pryde envisions as “the catalyst for a movement with a mission to inspire people to pursue their dreams despite obstacles.” According to Lexz, the obstacles she had to overcome to make Motivate’s release a reality made her realize what success really is- it’s staring defeat in the face and still charging forward. This is the impact she wants “Motivate” to have on listeners, you CAN achieve your dreams. The video, which features Snoop Dogg, Blade Brown and street artist Skyler Grey is living proof that dreams can come true. “Motivate iz not just a song.. It’z a movement,” confesses Lexz.
Recently, Lexz performed alongside DJ Self at the trendy No. 8. The NYFW Event, sponsored by Bartholomew Gold, Ranbeeri Denim, Denim Vodka and Jahlookova, drew celebrities from every walk of life. This summer, Lexz has also performed in South Korea, Croatia, and Ibiza, plus she will debut her new sound in Tokyo with Ultra Music Festival. Not a bad start for the pop sensation.

NEW YORK (AP) -- The lovable legend of Yogi Berra, that ain't ever gonna be over.
The Hall of Fame catcher renowned as much for his dizzying malapropisms as his unmatched 10 World Series championships with the New York Yankees, died Tuesday. He was 90.
Berra, who filled baseball's record book as well as "Bartlett's Familiar Quotations," died of natural causes at his home in New Jersey, according to Dave Kaplan, the director of the Yogi Berra Museum.
Berra played in more World Series games than any other major leaguer, and was a three-time American League Most Valuable Player.
For many, though, he was even better known for all those amusing "Yogi-isms."
"It ain't over `til it's over" is among eight of them included in Bartlett's.
"When I'm sittin' down to dinner with the family, stuff just pops out. And they'll say, `Dad, you just said another one.' And I don't even know what the heck I said," Berra insisted.
Short, squat and with a homely mug, Berra was a Yankees great who helped the team reach 14 World Series during his 18 seasons in the Bronx.
"While we mourn the loss of our father, grandfather and great-grandfather, we know he is at peace with Mom," Berra's family said in a statement released by the museum. "We celebrate his remarkable life, and are thankful he meant so much to so many. He will truly be missed."
Berra served on a gunboat supporting the D-Day invasion in 1944 and played for the Yankees from 1946-63. His teammates included fellow Hall of Famers Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle and Whitey Ford.
"No! Say it ain't so. He was a good man, my former manager and friend! RIP Yogi," former Yankees star Dave Winfield tweeted.
Lawrence Peter Berra, the son of Italian immigrants, got his nickname while growing up in St. Louis. Among his amateur baseball teammates was Jack McGuire, another future big leaguer.
"Some of us went to a movie with a yogi in it and afterwards Jack began calling me Yogi. It stuck," Berra told the Saturday Evening Post.
He was a fan favorite, especially with children, and the cartoon character Yogi Bear was named after him.
Until recent years, he remained a fixture at Yankee Stadium and in the clubhouse, where the likes of Derek Jeter, Joe Torre and others in pinstripes looked up to the diminutive old-timer.
In 1956, Berra caught the only perfect game in World Series history and after the last out leaped into pitcher Don Larsen's arms. The famous moment is still often replayed on baseball broadcasts.
After his playing days, Berra coached or managed the Yankees, New York Mets and Houston Astros. He led both the Yankees and Mets to pennants.
In 1985, his firing as manager by the Yankees 16 games into the season sparked a feud with George Steinbrenner. Berra vowed never to return to Yankee Stadium as long as Steinbrenner owned the team.
But in 1999, Berra finally relented, throwing out the ceremonial first pitch of the Yankees' season-opener.
"We are deeply saddened by the loss of a Yankees legend and American hero, Yogi Berra," the Yankees posted on Twitter.

Berra, who played in 15 straight All-Star Games, never earned more than $65,000 a season. He died on the same date, Sept. 22, as his big league debut 69 years earlier.
Growing up, he was anything but a natural.
Chunky and slow, Berra was rejected by his hometown St. Louis Cardinals after a tryout in 1943. But a Yankees scout recognized his potential and signed him.
He reached the majors late in the 1946 season and homered in his first at-bat. The next year, he continued to hit well, but his throwing was so erratic he was shifted to the outfield, then benched.
His breakthrough season came in 1948, when he hit .315 with 14 homers and 98 RBIs while improving his fielding. In 1949, he compiled a .989 fielding percentage and did not make an error in the All-Star Game or World Series.
"I don't care who the hitter is," Yankees Hall of Fame manager Casey Stengel told the New York Journal-American, "(Berra) knows just how he should be pitched to."
Berra was the AL MVP in 1951, 1954 and 1955. He holds World Series records for most hits (71) and games (75).
He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1972.
"You never think of that when you're a kid," Berra said. "But egads, you gotta be somethin' to get in."
Among his boyhood friends was Joe Garagiola, who went on to a career as a major league player and broadcaster. In rejecting Berra at the 1943 tryout, the Cardinals signed Garagiola, another catcher, instead.
Berra was born in St. Louis on May 12, 1925, the son of Pietro, a laborer in a brickyard, and Pauline Berra. He grew up in "The Hill," or Italian district, with three older brothers and a younger sister.
Berra was forced to drop out of school in the eighth grade and go to work to help support his family. He took jobs in a coal yard, as a truck driver and in a shoe factory.
He continued to play amateur baseball, which brought him to the attention of major league scouts.
In 1943, his first professional season with the Yankees' farm team in Norfolk, Virginia, was interrupted by World War II.
Berra married his wife, Carmen, in 1949. The couple met in their native St. Louis. Carmen died in 2014. Yogi is survived by their three sons.
Dale Berra, a major league infielder, who briefly played for his father on the Yankees in 1985; Tim, who played one season for the NFL's Baltimore Colts, and Lawrence Jr.
Berra published three books: his autobiography in 1961, "It Ain't Over ..." in 1989 and "The Yogi Book: I Really Didn't Say Everything I Said" in 1998. The last made The New York Times' best seller list.
In 1996, Berra was awarded an honorary doctorate from the state university in Montclair, N.J., where he and his family lived. The university also named its baseball stadium for Berra. The adjoining Yogi Berra Museum opened in 1998.
The museum houses Berra memorabilia, including what he said was his most prized possession, the mitt he used to catch Larsen's perfect game.
He tickled TV viewers in recent years by bringing his malapropisms to a commercial with the AFLAC duck. ("They give you cash, which is just as good as money.")
His wife once asked Berra where he wanted to be buried, in St. Louis, New York or Montclair.
"I don't know," he said. "Why don't you surprise me?"

Hip hop fans and other artists in the business don't know what to make of Slim Jesus. The 18-year old Hamilton, Ohio native became a sensation almost overnight with his music video for "Drill Time."
The video is filled with Chicago Drill music influences. From the guns being flashed, to the gangster lyrics Slim is spitting.
In a new interview with VladTV, Slim acknowledged that he doesn't actually live the life he raps about and said the guns in the video were props.
The fledgling rapper deserves respect for being honest, but there are a lot of rappers who actually live that lifestyle that will probably test him.
During an episode of Complex's Well Rounded, The Game offered his opinion.
"I think that Slim Jesus either really better be fucking kidding or he's gonna get his ass smoked," Game said. "I worry about kids these days rapping about stuff that they're really not about. It's cool...it's dope. I saw Slim Jesus and I thought it was cool. I thought it was dope. I was like, 'Shit, there's a white boy with fucking guns and he's ready to kill shit.' Then I saw the [Vlad TV interview] and he was like, 'I don't really do this.' It's too late. And you got people that are really doing that, that are offended."
Should SJ put down the guns and be himself? Or do you consider it all to just be entertainment?

(NY Daily News) A south Florida man charged with murdering his girlfriend admitted to disemboweling her with his bare hands after she twice cried out her ex-husband's name during sex, police said.
Self-admitted "monster" Fidel Lopez, 24, said he flew into a drunken rage after she cried out the other man's name during rough sex inside of their Sunrise apartment's closet early Sunday morning, according to a police report obtained by the Sun Sentinel.
He then returned to 31-year-old Maria Nemeth, who was lying unconscious on the floor, and proceeded to sexually mutilate her -- first with various objects, then by inserting his arm into her, up to his elbow.
Once inside he said he proceeded to rip out part of her intestines.
In extremely disturbing details, police say Lopez admitted to shattering a sliding glass door, punching holes into a wall and ripping a closet door off its hinges.
He then returned to 31-year-old Maria Nemeth, who was lying unconscious on the floor, and proceeded to sexually mutilate her -- first with various objects, then by inserting his arm into her, up to his elbow.
Once inside he said he proceeded to rip out part of her intestines.
Neighbors said they heard a man yelling and loud noises for about two hours coming from the apartment, which the couple had shared for about a week.
Before calling 911 just after 3:30 a.m., Lopez said he carried her body to the bathroom and splashed water on her face in an attempt to revive her. He then washed his hands, had a cigarette break outside and called cops to say his lover was not breathing.
When police arrived at the home, they found him crying for help next to her naked body. Blood and bodily tissue covered the floor and walls. A bottle of tequila and sliced limes were seen in the kitchen.
Lopez initially blamed her death on rough sex. During a court appearance Monday he told a judge, through an interpreter, that he'd been drunk.
He was charged with first-degree murder and ordered held without bond.
Nemeth's neighbors were stunned and horrified by the news.
They said she worked at the apartment complex as a leasing agent. That's where she met Lopez.
"Very gentle, very private. Soft-spoken young lady. We all loved her. Very pleasant young lady," Dan Carter told NBC Miami.
