Rihanna sat down with Diane Sawyer during her ABC interview to discuss the abuse she suffered from Chris Brown.  A lot of people think that the night before the Grammys was the first time, that it was an isolated incident.  Well, it wasn’t.  It was just the worst.

Rihanna always went back to Chris Brown because of her love for him.  She knows now that wasn’t the right choice,

“Don’t react off of love. F love.”

Well said, RiRi.

“I stayed. I even went back after he beat me, which was wrong … I’m a human being and people put me on a very unrealistic pedestal,” Rihanna tells Sawyer. “I’m not perfect. It’s pretty natural for that to be the first reaction. It’s completely normal to go back and start lying to yourself. The minute the physical wounds go away, you want this thing to go away. This is a memory you don’t want to have again.”

Once Rihanna realized how much bigger this whole situation was, that went beyond just her and Chris, she made the choice to walk away.

“When I realized that my selfish decision for love could result into some young girl getting killed, I could not be easy with that part. I couldn’t be responsible … If Chris never hit me again, who’s to say that their boyfriend won’t … kill these girls? These are young girls. I just didn’t realize how much of an impact I had on these girls until that happened. It was a wake-up call for me, big time, especially when I took myself out of the situation,” Rihanna says emotionally.

The interview is so emotional and it’s hard to flashback and remember just how bad Chris Brown beat Rihanna.  It’s awful.  But I believe that Rihanna has come out so much stronger and that she is going to be an inspiration to young women to get out, now.

Beyoncé is going to ‘put some turkey on it’ this holiday season.  On November 26th, she will have her own Thanksgiving Day TV special airing on ABC.

Beyoncé fans will get to see behind the scenes footage and see some of her performances from her Las Vegas concerts.  I am guessing that there will be something in there that has to do with family and being thankful?  If not, it will just be an extra long primetime promo for herself, on Thanksgiving.  I think I will stick with Charlie Brown, thanks.  Well maybe if Beyoncé dresses in a turkey costume, I will watch…..

Kirstie Alley and her very public and somewhat humiliating roller coaster with weight problems will be hogging stepping into the spotlight once again.  This time it’s for her own reality show.

A&E has picked up 10 episodes that will be half and hour each in 2010.  So what’s this ‘unscripted’ show going to be about?

The cameras will follow Kirstie around while she struggles to lose weight, again and raise her two teenagers in the Hollywood spotlight.

“Kirstie is exactly the kind of star A&E is drawn to,” said A&E nonfiction/alternative programming senior VP Robert Sharenow. “Her personal life has been playing out in the media for years, but this will be the first time she’ll be opening up her home to reveal her real life for the cameras.”

On top of this show, Kirstie is working on another project,

“producing a feature film, patenting multiple inventions, working hard to raise two normal Hollywood teenagers, taking care of eight ringtail lemurs and, on top of everything, looking for love.”

Apparently Fat Actress wasn’t embarrassing enough.  This show should be…um, well….You tell me?

Kim Zolciak is always in the middle of some ’scene’ on The Real Housewives of Atlanta.  The single mom sat down with In Touch and talked about plastic surgery and her personal cure for migraines.  Here are the highlights:

How have you changed since your younger years?
“I have black hair naturally, but my mom’s a hairdresser, so I’ve been blond gradually since 16, 17 and on. I was always a thick build. I had braces.”

You don’t hide that you’ve had cosmetic enhancements.
“I just don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. Some cosmetic enhancement is obvious. A lot of times, the people who aren’t talking about it are the ones who look horrible. I do Botox. I’ve had my boobs done twice. I started getting Botox when I was 25 for migraines. I recommend that to anybody. And VelaShape. I don’t know if it shrinks you, but it keeps you tone and taut.”

Would you ever do Playboy?
“Probably. I’d have to talk to my children, because when you’re a mom, it’s not just you anymore. I think Playboy is very classy and sexy, but there’s a time and place for it. Kim Kardashian did it very tastefully.”

Would you get more surgery?
“When I’m done having children, I’d be all for a tummy tuck. I would love a nose job, but I’m scared. I would do just about anything to maintain myself.”
What is the biggest misconception about you?
“I’m not stupid, I’m not a homewrecker or a gold digger. But I don’t even care. I’m past that. I may not make all the right decisions, but I’m happy. I’ve worked so hard to get where I am. As a single mom, you can achieve your dreams, be successful, and be a great parent. Now I look back and think, ‘How could you think you couldn’t do it?’”

So were you thinking about your kids when you went out in public with no panties and flashed your ‘goods’, Kim?  Please, don’t act like you put your kids first when it comes to your actions.  We ALL know better than that.

Drew Barrymore looked absolutely stunning on the red carpet last night (November 3rd)  at the AFI 2009 screening of ‘Everbody’s Fine’ (trailer here) at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles.  The purple dress fits her like a glove and those sexy shoes! Wow!   Drew did a great job with her hair and makeup too.  I am so glad she kept it real. Sometimes she tries to be too ‘unique’ with her fashion and that always takes away form her true beauty.  Drew is such a knockout.

The whole group looked like they were having a ball. Robert De Niro and Kate Beckinsale looked fab as well but Drew stole the spotlight for sure.  This movie is going to be great, I can’t wait to see it!

And just like that, there were five.  After the results show last night on Dancing With The Stars, we are down to five celebrities and their professional partners.

Michael Irvin and Mark Dacascos were sent home last night after somehow managing to keep their heads above water thus far. Irvin seemed to really appreciate the whole experience,

“Thank you. Last night was a great night, and to see the audience here standing up as a way of saying they appreciate the hard work, it means a great deal to a lot of people right now, with the economy going the way it has.”

Mark admitted this competition isn’t easy,

“This is certainly much harder than it looks on television. It’s a lot easier to watch it than do it.”

Next week we will see the remaining dancers each do a pair of routines.  It should be a tight race from here on out…

Kourtney Kardashian missed one dose of her birth control pill and eight months later, she’s expecting a baby boy with her (not steady) boyfriend, Scott Disick.

“My pregnancy has been wonderful,” she says. “I love being pregnant. I’m excited to be a mom - but I’m nervous.”

Her mom, Kris Jenner is right in there with her,

“Kourtney is nervous and excited all wrapped into one. It’s a whole new set of responsibilities.  She’s got a lot of support from the entire family.”

Fans of Keeping Up With The Kardashians will get to watch Kourtney’s pregnancy on the upcoming fourth season of the show and she’s not at all worried about us seeing her gain weight,

“I’m totally excited to gain weight, and I’m embracing it.  I run around naked all day at home! I like that my body is changing. It’s a beautiful thing.”

I think that Kourtney looks great!  She has nothing to be ashamed of. She’s all belly!

The Real Housewives of Atlanta’s NeNe Leakes has proven herself to be one tough cookie in many ways and she is all about doing it again.  NeNe recently lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks and she dished to Ok! all about it,

“My trainer has taught me to eat breakfast, She said, ‘NeNe, you have to bite something in the morning to get your metabolism going.’ So I’ve learned to do that, and it works.”

“Then I eat my lunch: lots of salads with chicken,” she added. “I love to go out to eat for dinner, [but] I never order an entrée. The portion sizes today are very large. So I’ll order an appetizer.”

She hasn’t been with her trainer for long, but she is seeing positive results already,

“About 14 days. If she comes to my house, we walk through the neighborhood with weights, If I go to her studio, I take a group class or do one-on-one training.”

NeNe cut back on a lot of things BUT, she still enjoys her fave,

“I cut back, but I’m not giving up my potato chips,” she explained.

NeNe will still be sipping on cocktails like normal, just a little less…

“I like my sweet cocktails, but I know they have a lot of calories, I can still treat myself — I just can’t drink every day.”

That sounds fair enough to me! It’s too hard to just let go of it all, that just makes you miserable and then you fail.  NeNe is doing it the right way for sure.

“I feel good. To be honest, I like my size. I’m a 10, and I don’t think that’s fat,” NeNe explained. “I’m almost 6 feet. If I were a size 4, I would look anorexic, and I don’t want to look like that. It’s more about getting healthy.”

You go girl! Keep up the good work! You look great!

The Hills stars, Heidi Montag and her hubby, Spencer Pratt spent the afternoon out in Beverly Hills on Halloween.  The cute couple was on a mission to find Heidi some sexy cowgirl  boots and they hit the jackpot!   How hot are those red boots?!  I love them.  In fact, Heidi inspired me to go and buy myself some cowgirl boots!

After the sexy boot purchase the Spencer and Heidi enjoyed a nice lunch outdoors in that lovely California weather.  Next  I am guessing that they went home to feed their puppies…  How cute are they?  Seriously, they are adorable.  I love how Spencer is filming the paparazzi, hilarious!

Are you watching this season of The Hills?  It’s FABULOUS!  I still can’t believe that Audrina landed her OWN show!

The Oscars hosts have been announced.  Yes, I did say hosts.  This year we get double the fun!  Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin are set to co-host the 2010 Oscars. How fun is that?!

Producers Bill Mechanic and Adam Shankman stated,

“We think the team of Steve and Alec are the perfect pair of hosts for the Oscars. Steve will bring the experience of having hosted the show in the past and Alec will be a completely fresh personality for this event.”

Steve Martin is already working on his jokes asfter the news was announced,

“I am happy to co-host the Oscars with my enemy Alec Baldwin.”

Alec Baldwin seems pretty pleased with the idea as well,

“I’m thrilled to be hosting the Oscars. It’s the opportunity of a lifetime.”

The Oscars will be on March 7, 2010 at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood…..that’s just about 4 months away.  I think this is going to be a great show. How about you?  Are you excited for Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin to host the Oscars?

Jon Gosselin and his on again, off again girlfriend, Hailey Glassman gave an in interview together that is set to air tomorrow night (November 4th) on ET.

During the interview, the troubled couple discusses or rather argues about their future as a couple.

“We’re going to take a break and decide,” Jon, 32, says. “We’ll let Hailey decide on what she wants to do. … My life is so hectic right now I have to concentrate on my own decisions. … Maybe she wants to go get a job. Maybe she wants to date other people. Maybe she wants to experience life? Live on her own and do her own things. I don’t know. If I was 22, I would probably want a break too, because it is so much.”

Hailey claims that any time she tries to leave Jon, “he cries.”

“As hard as it is for us, he needs to go handle his stuff, be with his family and handle his divorce, and I need to go and be a 22-year-old and get my life back,” she says.

Truer words have not been spoken, girl!

Jon believes that he’s going to have to let her go “in order for her to be happy, especially if she thinks he has been “emotionally abusing her.  I cannot live with that guilt.”

So it looks like Jon and Hailey are making it an official breakup during the show,

“I don’t want to do this on national TV — this is serious,” says Hailey.

Jon doesn’t seem to be handling well at all as he says,

“I wanted to discuss this in private, but now it’s public. I’m getting frustrated, because it’s uncomfortable. This whole thing’s uncomfortable. I don’t like it. I mean, you’re telling me out there that you love me and you want to be with me, and then you…”

Hailey fires back with,

“I do love you, and you tell me you love me — we would love each other and we want to be with each other, but it’s not healthy!”

That was it for Jon,

“I’m not talking anymore.”

Hailey took it to a whole new level by bringing up the kids,

“Don’t you want them to look up to you and say, ‘My daddy’s honest?’”

That pushed Jon over the edge,

“I’m not talking about this.”

Then Jon stormed out of the interview.  Wow, that is nuts!  I can’t wait to see what happens next!  Real life soap operas are too much!  Stay tuned for more details and the video… I will be adding it as soon as it’s up!  See Kate Gosselin’s interview with Natalie Morales here.
