ABC unravels that parts of the interview with Robin Roberts for the network's TV newsmagazine are likely to be aired on 'Good Morning America' as well.

Chris Brown has dodged questions regarding his altercation with Rihanna in his previous TV appearances, but he is said to bare all in ABC's "20/20". The network has announced that on the upcoming edition of the TV newsmagazine program, the 20-year-old singer will come clean and provide details on the February incident.

The so-called an "in-depth" talk with "Good Morning America" anchor Robin Roberts has already been taped, and is scheduled to be aired on December 11. Jeffrey Schneider, the spokesman for the network, confirmed that the "I Can Transform Ya" singer will not perform live, but parts of his interview may be aired on "GMA".

The singer, who is awaiting the December 8 U.S. release of his new album "Graffiti", has had several interviews prior to this one. He talked to Larry King of "Larry King Live" among others. However, his sit-down with "20/20" came after Rihanna had a one-on-one interview with Diane Sawyer on "GMA" on November 5.

Chris Brown was involved in an altercation with Rihanna on February 8. After pleading guilty to one count of felony assault in June, he was ordered to 5 years probation and 180 days of community service in Virginia with the supervision from the chief of police. He was also told not to contact the "Umbrella" hitmaker for the next five years.
