Rihanna is holding nothing back while talking about the abuse she suffered from ex-boyfriend, Chris Brown. During her new interview with Diane Sawyer, Rihanna, 21, says that Brown, 20, was “blank” and “blacked out” and not the “same person that says I love you.” She also says, “There was no person when I looked at him.” Usmagazine also reports that Rihanna confirmed that Brown put her in a headlock twice and bit her on the ears and fingers. When Rihanna was asked why she is speaking out now, she had this to say, “I knew I had to do this in order to move on for me and in order for my fans to move on with me because it would always be a question in their mind. I don’t want that five years from now every time they see Rihanna, they think of Chris Brown beating me. That’s not who I am. It’s just one thing that happened to me.”
Brown was sentenced to five years probation, six months community service, and one year of domestic violence counseling. Rihanna’s full interview will air Friday on 20/20 at 10 ET.
We already know to rock green nail polish this season, but what do we do for our lip color? Look no further than trendsetter Blake Lively who showed off candy pink lips at a Chanel benefit event earlier in the week. Makeup artist Angela Levin was the creator of the look, and Usmagazine details the process to get this fierce look: ‘To get the look, Angela lined the upper and lower lashes with shimmering black liner and stroked on three coats of mascara. She then created the perfect pink shade for lips by blending two shades (sometimes to get the best shade, you have to work a bit of magic!). First, she swiped on Chanel Rouge Allure in Mythic (a nude shade), then she layered on Chanel Rouge Allure Laque in Ming to get the perfect pink shade.’ Pair your candy lips with dark eyes and have your perfect night out look.
Why should you never marry a rock star? Lily Crandell can count the ways. After her marriage of 16 months to Ted Dayton fizzles as fast his stardom skyrockets, Lily finds herself doing the only reasonable thing she can think off- skip across the pond to visit an old flame, Carter, in London. While using her sister’s passport because she had to turn hers in to the bail bondsman to keep her out of jail after assaulting her ex-husband. And skipping the country just weeks before her scheduled court date. So Lily has never been the most responsible or sensible. That belonged to her older sister Lauren, whom you might remember from I Do (But I Don’t). Lauren is happily married to her firefighter Nick, with one adorable son already and another baby on the way. Lily is the opposite- no job holding her down, no husband to speak of anymore, and her tear stained picture showing up in tabloids after her husband was found to be having an affair with the beautiful and silicone enhanced actress Melanie Slate. Oh yea- and she has no money and is facing thousands of dollars of debt.
I Did (But I Wouldn’t Now) is the hilarious follow-up from Cara Lockwood, with little sister Lily taking over the reins. While trying to decide if she loves Carter, her commitment-phobe ex-boyfriend, he falls for his overly psychotic girlfriend, who has it out for poor Lily. The situation gets even stickier after Lily is photographed making out with one of the hottest soccer stars in London- who is getting married in a few short weeks and has a baby on the way. Lily is now plastered across the London tabloids, and inadvertently got Carter fired from his prestigious doctor position. With her trial date looming close by, our heroine has limited time to get Carter his job back, get him to see his girlfriend is crazy, win his heart, and oh yea- help big sister. Lauren makes a hilarious cameo by flying to London weeks before her due date after being convinced her perfect husband is cheating on her. Throw her situation into the mess, add in paparazzi and a rock star ex ending up in London, and I Did (But I Wouldn’t Now) is a must read for all chick lit fans.
We won’t be seeing Heidi Klum is lingerie for this year’s Victoria Secret Fashion Show. The supermodel, 36, will take on hosting duties instead for the November 19th event. Klum and husband Seal welcomed a fourth child, daughter Lou, just last month. Even though last year Klum had just two months after giving birth to get back into shape, she had even less time this year, and will instead be a host. The fashion show will air on December 1st on CBS, and The Black Eyed Peas have been tapped to perform.
Chris Brown is now talking to MTV about assaulting ex-girlfriend Rihanna, and entering a guilty plea to felony assault charges. People.com released this excerpt from Brown: “It’s like, ‘How do we get past it? How do you, Chris’ – talking to myself – ‘how do you go from point A to point B? How do you learn from your mistakes, turn it into a positive and help other people with the situation, and at the end of the day become the person that you want to be?”
Brown spoke with MTV correspondent Sway Calloway during the one hour interview, which will air Friday at 6 pm.
Khloe Kardashian is getting slammed by ex-boyfriend, NBA star Rashad McCants. Rashad is claiming that Khloe and her sisters faked a segment for their reality show, Keeping Up With the Kardashian’s. The segment shows Kim hacking into Rashad’s home voicemail and listening to suggestive voicemails left from other women, causing Khloe to believe Rashad was cheating on her.
McCants, 25, has a different story. He told New York Post’s Page 6 that there was no way they could break into his home phone, because they never had the number. He also claimed that he and Khloe “had already called it quits” in January, before the voicemail hacking segment was ever taped.
Khloe is married to another basketball player, Lamar Odem, and is battling speculation that the marriage is fake. Usmagazine reports that reps for E! and Khloe have not returned calls or commented on this accusation.

Kim Kardashian boxed for charity- and has the black eye to prove it! I posted earlier how some of the Kardashian family (Kim, Khloe, Robert, Bruce Jenner and Scott Disick) were stepping in the boxing ring, fighting the highest bidders and donating that money to the Dream Foundation. Kim posted her “after” picture on her website today, displaying her shiner. She wasn’t the only one that was defeated in the match- Robert suffered a concussion after being hit when his mask was falling off. Kim writes on her page: “At the end of the day, we did this for charity and that’s what counts. Rob is doing fine now and my black eye will be gone soon… I hope,” she wrote. “You can try to bring the Kardashians down… but we’re a strong family. A concussion and a black eye can’t hold us down!”
