Chris Brown Gets Dapper For GQ Italia+Cee-Lo Speaks On His Orgy-Life

Chris Brown is so excited about being in the upcoming issue of Italian GQ that he twitpic'd one of the photos.  And we found a few more. See the dapperific photoshoot inside plus see what Cee-Lo says about himself in bed...

For his Italian GQ spread, Chris was shot by Kai Z. Feng and styled by GQ Fashion Director Andrea Tenerani. In the photo above, Chris wears Dolce & Gabanna, and in the rest of the photos he's rocking a suit by Tom Ford, Georgio Armani shirt, Dolce & Gabanna blazer, and Roy Roger.

Hot. 

And just for S's and G's:

Cee-Lo wants everyone to know about his orgy-love-making skills.  During a recent interview he said:

I'm definitely having more sex than the average man. Yes, two or three women a night, trust me. The other day I slept with two women - not at the same time - because I was at home and they missed me. But you know, these are my friends; we missed each other. So I just want to give joy and good tidings, that's what it's all about."

Really Cee-Lo?  Oh.
