Taylor Swift can add yet another honor to her ever-growing list. Already the youngest CMA winner in history and selling more than 10 million albums, the singer is now CoverGirl’s latest spokesperson. Joining others such as Queen Latifah, Rihanna, and Drew Barrymore, Swift said it was a “dream come true,” reports People.com. Her ads for a new line of luxury cosmetics will debut in January.
Chris Brown is now talking about Rihanna’s interview with Diane Sawyer. The singer, 20, released this statement through MTV: “I maintain my position that all of the details should remain a private matter between us. I do appreciate her support and wish her the best.” I guess I’m slightly confused here. Isn’t this the same guy that gave multiple interviews on the incident, including speaking with Larry King? I was thrown off after reading this statement because I don’t see how it is fair that Brown can speak to multiple networks and try to get his name somewhat cleared. From watching Rihanna’s interview, I saw how she was trying to get people to understand her actions immediately following the abuse. She let people know what she was thinking when she went back to Brown. And I don’t see anything wrong with that. She is a superstar, she has built an incredible empire, and she did turn off a lot of fans by choosing to go to Miami with Chris Brown just three weeks after he hit her. This was her chance to tell her story, and I thought her interview was great. I don’t agree with Brown saying that she should keep things to herself; when you are celebrity you just don’t have the luxury. It may be unfortunate, especially in such difficult situations, but it is also why the famous are so rich and can afford all the extravagants in their lives.
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.
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.
