Rihanna has finally broken her silence in her first interview since being beaten to a bloody pulp by her former boyfriend, Chris Brown on the night before the Grammys.

RiRi opened up to Diane Sawyer in an interview that is set to air later this week on Good Morning America and 20/20.

“This happened to me. … It can happen to anyone.”

The biggest reason the post traumatic feelings have been even harder to deal with is the fact that Rihanna really loved Chris Brown,

“He was definitely my first big love.”

She is now protected by the courts after sentencing Brown to hard labor, probation and keeping 100 yards away from Rihanna.

This interview is going to be an emotional roller coaster, I am looking forward to hearing everything Rihanna has to say…

Because that’s the name of the album, silly!

Rihanna’s new album drops November 23 and here’s a peep at the cover art.  This bears little resemblance to the sneak peek shots from the photoshoot that we brought you a couple of weeks ago.  The only thing that is undeniably the same is Ri-Ri’s hairdo.

The cover was shot by Ellen von Unwerth, who had only good to say about working with Rihanna:

“Rihanna was looking to create something a bit new for the look of the album.   [She] is so beautiful, sweet and tough at the same time — and a pleasure to shoot…fantastic to work with — very giving, very creative, very involved in every aspect of the shoot, and ready to push the boundaries.”

This is pretty fierce.   What do you think?  Drop us a comment!

Rihanna has declared the the wait is officially ‘ova‘ on her site.  Her highly anticipated album, Rated R will be out on November 23rd but she is giving fans a taste with the first single, Russian Roulette.  RiRi teamed up with Ne-Yo and made this incredible song.  It’s actually really sad.  Listen below,

Rihanna - ‘Russian Roulette’ Lyrics

Take a breath, take it deep
Calm yourself, he says to me
If you play, you play for keeps
Take a gun, and count to three
I’m sweating now, moving slow
No time to think, my turn to go

[Chorus -- JustJared.com]
And you can see my heart beating
You can see it through my chest
And I’m terrified but I’m not leaving
Know that I must must pass this test
So just pull the trigger

Say a prayer to yourself
He says close your eyes
Sometimes it helps
And then I get a scary thought
That he’s here means he’s never lost

(Chorus)

As my life flashes before my eyes
I’m wondering will I ever see another sunrise?
So many won’t get the chance to say goodbye
But it’s too late too pick up the value of my life

(Chorus)

What do you think?  Does Russian Roulette make you want to buy the album?  Do you think the track list will all be downers or will be seeing some ‘happy’ music from Rihanna?

Unlike the wretched look we saw Rihanna flashing her stuff at the Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2010 Ready To Wear - Jean Paul Gaultier yesterday (October 3rd), Dita Von Teese and Katy Perry arrived as classic beauties.  Dita looked great, her legs were amazing in that dress!  Katy was absolutely glowing.  I love seeing her like that!  Katy is so fresh and fun.  LOVES her! I mean come on, we know that Katy loves to dress in some crazy stuff, but she knows when and where to do it.  Now if they could pass along some fashion tips to Rihanna, we’d be all set…..

OMG.  Are you serious, Rihanna?  This fashion challenged superstar was at the Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2010 Ready To Wear - Jean Paul Gaultier yesterday (October 3rd).  Take a look at this hideous outfit Rihanna is wearing! Ah!  She is totally going for the dominatrix, sexy vixen look.  Wow, did she not realize that she wasn’t part of the show?  And I really wish she would keep her glasses off while she indoors, it’s not like she was the only celebrity in the building.  Geesh!  She totally had to do a ‘boob check’ too.  Ha!  We know how much RiRi loves to show off her nips…..

Do you love or hate this look on Rihanna?

Rihanna was spotted leaving Hotel de Rome in Berlin, Germany yesterday (Sept 29th).  She was giving a few fans a thrill with some snaps and autographs, sweet.  But, I of course have a beef with her look.  Honestly, what is with that entire ensemble?  The ‘holy conductor’s’ hat is ridiculous, the ‘wings’ on her shoulders are wrong, and then the shoes are obnoxious.  It’s not hot.  Rihanna is hot and she knows it, so why does she make these terrible fashion choices?  Does she like the negative attention?  I am not sure which is worse?  The see-through top that was showing off her nipple ring she was flashing in NYC a couple of weeks ago or this outfit?

I just don’t get it.  Ugh.

I’m surprising myself yet again by writing these words, but check out how cute Rihanna looks!  Generally these 1980s flashback styles give me the shudders, but she’s definitely working it.  I especially like her shoes, and how they tie in with the sunglasses.   (They’re even Ray-Bans, how much more 80s can you get??)  Even her oddly highlighted hair and bright red lipstick (wrong color for her, alas) are authentic.

Brava, Rihanna!  If you keep up this positive fashion trend, I am going to have to find someone else to mock.

Rihanna got kind of Cirque du Soleil in a set of new photos featuring the singer posing on a trapeze.  I know it’s more common of me to make fun of Rihanna, but these images are really very pretty.  She looks very elegant as a trapeze artist.

And now this is the second time in a row that I’ve said something nice about her.  I must be getting soft!  But what’s with all the aerial action lately?  It must be the latest thing that all the R&B stars are doing.

Rihanna was spotted strolling around Soho in New York City, enjoying the weather while her ex, Chirs Brown was enjoying the weather picking up trash off the side of the road.  Ha!  Sorry, I couldn’t help myself.

Anyhow, I found that Rihanna’s outfit was a bit shocking for the public eye in broad daylight.  She is wearing a sheer, black, ‘beater’ tank top that completely reveals her boobs, nips, and of course that famous nipple ring.

Is is just me?  Or is this shirt completely inappropriate?  Sound off below. NSFW pictures after the jump. (Read the article)

Chris Brown continued to work the media (or at least Larry King) last night in an effort to restore his image following his sentencing for beating up ex-girlfriend Rihanna.    I think he thought that appearing on with his most loyal defender, his mom Joyce Hawkins, would help.  Which is a fine strategy, I suppose.

I just think his PR folks went a little too far in letting her pick his clothes.  Because really, who wants to look like Steve Urkel on purpose?

Is Rihanna trying to remind Chris Brown what he’s missing?  Her new cover and photo spread for September 2009’s Vogue Italia leaves very little to the imagination!

The headline “Extreme Couture” is apt - it not only describes Ri-Ri’s attire for the shoot, but how she tends to dress in general.   But look, I’m going to be nice to Rihanna for once.   She’s doing a fantastic Grace Jones here, and looks amazing virtually topless.  Go girl!

Jay Leno is getting ready for his prime time debut on September 14th.  The Jay Leno Show will be a wonderful change for NBC’s usual lineup.

To get things kicked off just right, Leno has a trio of big stars sert to perform on ‘opening night’.  Rihanna, Jay-Z, and Kanye West are going to rev it up for Jay and set the ratings bar high.  They will be singing Run This Town from Jay-Z’s album, The Blueprint 3.

I think this is a great choice for Jay Leno.  He’s going to draw a huge crowd of viewers right off the get-go.

Cheers to Jay for losing those extra pounds on his Subway Diet!
