Singer Rihanna confessed she felt embarrassed about the situation she got herself into and the type of person she actually fell in love with in an emotional interview with Diane Sawyer for Good Morning America on Thursday (November 5).

The singer also admitted that she went back to her abusive boyfriend Chris Brown, who also gave a tell-all interview to air on MTV (watch video), eight to nine times before the incident that stole her privacy and completely changed her life. Rihanna finally left Chris when she realized the impact her decision could have in other women’s lives since her story of abuse became public.

“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.

She also offers advice to “any girl who is going through domestic violence: Don’t react off of love. F love. To come out of the situation and look at it third-person and for what it really is, you then make your decision. Because love is so blinding.”

This interview is revealing and emotional. For the first time Rihanna spoke up about what happened, what she went through and how she feels in an attempt to set a good example for other women victim of abuse – it is not easy but ‘F love!’ The complete Rihanna interview will air on ABC’s ‘20/20′ on Friday night (November 6).

After Rihanna’s highly publicized tell-all interview for GMA and 20/20 (details and video), Chris Brown also wants to open up and talk about his feelings regarding the domestic abuse case on a MTV special titled “Chris Brown: The Interview” which will air on Friday (November 6).

Chris tells Sway Calloway he is trying to move on but still struggles with what happened that night when a fight between the couple turned nasty and he beat up his ex-girlfriend. Chris says, “How do you, Chris, 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?” Blah blah blah!

In the 30-minute special, Chris will also address the ‘Larry King Live’ interview, the public’s perception of him and his new album ‘Graffiti’ [Graffiti’s album cover]. It seems like Chris is trying too hard not to stay behind but this interview coming out exactly when Rihanna decided to open up is just bad taste. Chris, you already had your chance to speak up several times, now shut up and let the victim speak!

Singer Rihanna will speak up for the first time about the tragic night that completely changed her life when she was beaten by her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown in a tell-all interview for ‘Good Morning America’ on Thursday (November 5), which will be extended into a ‘20/20’ special titled ‘Rihanna: Her Story’ on Friday (November 6).

Rihanna confessed to Diane Sawyer that Chris was her first big love and if it happened to her it can happen to anyone. The best she can do is try to move on by speaking out, telling her story, and hopefully set a good example to other women dealing with domestic abuse.

“I went to sleep as Rihanna and woke up as Britney Spears,” the “Russian Roulette” singer recalls in the interview for Glamour. “That was the level of media chaos that happened the next day. The positive thing that has come out of my situation is that people can learn from that. I want to give as much insight as I can to young women, because I feel like I represent a voice that really isn’t heard.”

Both Chris Brown and Rihanna are coming out with new projects. Chris’ new album ‘Graffiti’ (see ridiculous album cover) will drop December 15, while Rihanna’s fourth album ‘Rated R’ comes out November 23. The first single out her new album ‘Russian Roulette’ premiered last month (photos + audio).

Chris Brown is back with a new album and he was pretty excited to share the cover art for ‘Graffiti’ with his fans exclusively on Twitter. The first single is ‘I Can Transform Ya‘ (watch video here). We are puzzled with the cover for this album! And we thought Adam Lambert’s ‘For Your Entertainment’ cover was bad… well, it is!

There is too much going on ‘Graffiti’ that makes absolutely no sense like, for example, a guitar on Chris’ shoulder. So instead of it looking cool and futurist, it comes out as confused and absurd. There are at least 5 things wrong about this album cover, can you guess what?? CLICK HERE To Find Out>>

The album cover/artwork for Rihanna’s new album ‘Rated R’ was given to Popeater and they quickly shared the dark and slightly disturbing album cover with the rest of us.

In the cover photo it almost looks as if Rihanna is covering up her eye or in an not so discreet way making reference to the horrific beating she suffered at the hands of her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown.

The single ‘Russian Roulette’ off the album is a dark tune and I suspect most of the album will have a much darker tone than her upbeat and rhytmatic dance tunes from her last album ‘Good Girl Gone Bad.’

The cover was shot by famed fashion photographer Ellen von Unwerth. who said Rihanna was “a pleasure to shoot.”

R&B star Chris Brown has released the official music video for his comeback single ‘I Can Transform Ya‘, featuring Swizz Beatz and Lil Wayne (the father-of-four who is going to jail!). This is the first single out of his upcoming album ‘Graffiti,’ which is due in December.

We hope Chris could transform himself into a better man after beating and biting his ex-girlfriend Rihanna earlier this year. Rihanna is also preparing a comeback with a new album titled ‘Rated R’ (check out ‘Rated R’ cover art) – the first single ‘Russian Roulette’ premiered last week (photos + video).

R&B star Chris Brown opened up for the first time after the assault of his former girlfriend Rihanna in an exclusive interview for Larry King Live that will air on Wednesday (September 2).

Chris is still astonished by what happened! He claims he doesn’t remember the attack and that he can’t believe he did what he did to the woman he still loves.

Chris said, “I’m in shock, because, first of all, that’s not who I am as a person, and that’s not who I promise I want to be. I just don’t know what to think. I’m just like, wow. It’s crazy to me.”

Mother Joyce Hawkins and his lawyer Mark Geragos were by Chris’ side during the whole interview. Joyce defends her son saying he was never violent. Chris is having a hard time seeing Rihanna with other men, saying “I definitely would be affected by it, but at the end of the day, I mean, we’re not together, so if she’s happy, I’m cool.”

Chris Brown’s sentencing has been moved up two days to today at L.A. courthouse. The 20 year-old singer was sentenced to five years of probation and 6 months of hard labor at the Commonwealth Catholic Charities in Richmond, VA, where he must also take a 52-week domestic violence course.

For the next five years, Chris can be subjected to search and seizure, can’t own a dangerous weapon (including guns or knives) or leave the country without prior approval and he must stay 100 yards away from Rihanna, unless they are both at an entertainment-related event, in which case he must stay 10 yards away.

Chris was also ordered to provide DNA samples, pay 500 in restitution, another $2,500 in probation expenses, $30 criminal conviction fee and $400 that goes into a domestic violence fund. It seems it’s kind of cheap to be a criminal!

R&B star Chris Brown finally recorded an official apology (video below) to Rihanna and his fans for the much hyped assault case that happened before Grammy’s night in February, 2009. Chris takes full responsibility and admits he didn’t apologize before because he was advised by his lawyer not to.

Chris Brown, who faces two felony counts of assault and making criminal threats, accompanied by his lawyer, Mark Geragos, and family attended the preliminary hearing this afternoon.

Rihanna was suppose to testify against her former boyfriend but that didn’t happen since Chris plead guilty for felony assault and won’t do jail time. Here are the details of his plea bargain:

• Supervised probation for 5 years.
• 180 days of hard labor, like graffiti cleanup in his hometown of Virginia.
• He must report back to court every three months for his supervised probation.
• He must also enroll in a domestic violence counseling program.
• Judge issued a stay away order, which means he must stay at least 50 yards away from Rihanna.
• If Rihanna and Chris at the same work related event, he must stay at least 10 yards away from her.
• Chris is ordered to return back to court on August 5th to see if the stay away order can be reduced to level one.

Rihanna, dressed all in black, was present at the courthouse. The judge claimed Chris would be treated as any other person who came through her court. If Chris violates probation, he can get up to four years in jail.

Chris Brown, who has been charged with two felonies after beating his ex-girlfriend Rihanna, moved on and is reportedly dating a new girl named Erica Jackson. Erica, who studies at the University of William and Mary, had already dated Chris when they were younger and growing up in Virginia, according to the NY Daily News.

“[Chris and Erica] met in Virginia, where he’s from,” a source close to the singer says. “They dated back in the day and reconnected a few weeks ago when Chris was in town. They’ve been spending a lot of time together, but things only really heated up over the last two weeks.”

Chris and Erica were spotted leaving a tattoo parlor on Saturday afternoon. The girl has been described as a plain Jane, someone that is good for Chris and can heal his broken heart. Erica doesn’t look like a plain Jane to me and aren’t we forgetting Chris is the abuser?!?

Update: Apparently the girl with Chris Brown at the tattoo parlor is not Erica Jackson but Natalie Mejia, singer of Girlicious and reportedly his new girlfriend. So who is Chris really dating?? Erica Jackson or Natalie Mejia??

Chris Brown, who was charged with two felonies - assault and making criminal threats, showed up with his lawyer, Mark Geragos, at Los Angeles County Court today (April 6) to plead not guilty. There to support him were his sobbing mother and four bodyguards in case someone wanted to beat the crap out of Chris this time! Rihanna did not show up.

A second preliminary hearing was scheduled for April 29, which gives both parts time to discuss the case and work out some kind of deal, avoiding a trial. Rihanna’s attorney, Donald Etra, reiterated promises that his client will do “everything that the law requires her to do,” adding, “She would be pleased if this was over quickly.” So that means Rihanna wants a deal too and Chris will get nothing but a big slap on the wrist!

Rihanna is afraid tapes of her and her abusive boyfriend Chris Brown engaging in some intimate wild activities in the bedroom will be leaked. Yes, Rihanna and Chris have sex tapes ready to be leaked according to Star Magazine.

“Rihanna has no issues with her sexuality,” a source says. “But she’d be mortified if her friends and family found this out!”

Insiders say Rihanna is still emotionally fragile and vulnerable since the assault. “This whole beating incident is terribly humiliating for her. She’s already traumatized and will do anything to make it all go away as quickly as possible.”

As humiliating as a sex tape can be, I don’t think that is enough to stay with Chris Brown! The sex tape must be the only reason why Rihanna is still considering a relationship with Chris, right?! She is afraid he might leak or start selling their sex tape. Chris’ career is over, he might be tempted to make easy money with those tapes… if he is capable of beating the woman he “loves” then he can do anything!

Singer Rihanna was seen, in a rare public appearance after Chris Brown allegedly beat her, out and about partying at the Coco Deville nightclub last night. The 21 year-old didn’t take off her sunglasses not even inside the club. Thankfully Chris didn’t accompany her to the club or a riot might have happened.

I think Rihanna still feels embarrassed about the situation she is in, especially if she is taking Chris back. I’m sure a lot of people would love to just tell her to get away from that guy and a very dangerous self-destructive relationship.

The mystery woman sending Chris Brown long text messages that set Rihanna on fire is Tina Travis. The 39 year-old, who reportedly dated Brown when he was only 16 (statutory rape if that’s true!), is mentioned in the police reports as the woman who Brown had a previous sexual relationship with.

The latest police report tells the naughty let’s-hook-up-later text message made Rihanna so mad she started to slap and hit him, which led to Chris losing his cool and in turn brutally beat up his girlfriend before running away and leaving her in the car almost unconscious!

Rihanna and Chris Brown’s tearful reunion over the weekend at Diddy’s Miami mansion might have ended with a secret ceremony where the two have tied the knot, according to Star Magazine. Chris begged for forgiveness and proposed to a fragile Rihanna, who said yes!

“All she’s ever wanted was to be with him forever,” a source tells Star. “Rihanna is looking for the husband-and-two-kids deal before she turns 25. She believes in fairy tales, and she wants to live hers with Chris. She was totally up front and confessed to him, ‘I can’t live without you.’”

Rihanna and Chris apparently found out they couldn’t live without each other! And we just hope this story is not true. Rihanna had to be completely insane to have accepted marrying someone who allegedly abused her and threatened to kill her.

Chris Brown is quickly building up his defense. The D.A. hasn’t yet filled charges since the case is currently under investigation but Chris already has a trick up his sleeve – he is going to plea self-defense and say Rihanna attacked him first.

A source told Life and Style Weekly magazine: “Chris is already building his case. He’s saying she threw a phone at him, then hit him in the head and basically just lost it. He’s saying she attacked him.”

It’s difficult to believe Chris’ accusations when we have seen Rihanna’s horrific injuries and not even a scratch on him. You would think a cell phone would leave some kind of mark, if it did hit him at all… no matter what Rihanna did, what he did to her face is inexcusable!

Rihanna was seen celebrating her 21st birthday in Mexico last week (photos here>>). Sources report she is embarrassed about being exposed like this.

A source said: “She’s devastated all this has become so public. She’s just angry and extremely humiliated that the whole world knows how much pain she’s in right now. She’s told her team to do what they need to do. She just wants them to handle things for her.”

Latest news is that Rihanna and Chris Brown are back together and trying to make it work again. I cannot believe Rihanna would fall for that trap but love is blind. Truly hope it’s not true or Chris might get away with just a slap on the wrist.

… just like nothing happened! It’s really hard for me to believe Rihanna really went back to Chris Brown after what he allegedly did to her face (photo here>>). According to People, Rihanna and Chris are spending some private “alone” time at one of Sean “Diddy” Combs’s homes. WHAT?? Of course, Diddy had to be involved in this mess!

“They’re together again. They care for each other,” says the source. “While Chris is reflective and saddened about what happened, he is really happy to be with the woman he loves.”

I understand love can totally blind you and make you not see the real monster behind face you learned to care for. But Chris has actually tried to kill her and left her unconscious in a car alone… she could have died! He could have killed her. No matter how much Rihanna loves Chris, some people are just not meant to be. A separation that might hurt Rihanna right now might save her life in the future!

This is a really bad example, especially since it’s such a hyped public domestic violence case. It sends the wrong message to women who are currently in an abusive relationship.

Apparently Chris called Rihanna to wish her a happy 21st birthday and things have naturally unfolded ever since. “He called to wish her happy birthday,” a source told the magazine. “They’ve reached out to each other. It’s been mutual.”

Rihanna, get away while you can! An abuser will always be exactly what he is, you can’t change someone no matter how much you love them. Actually, Chris might be playing a sick move: the case hasn’t been presented to the D.A. yet and Chris might be trying to get away from possible charges since Rihanna’s testimony will be crucial.

Rihanna looks sad and lonely soaking up the sun in Punta Mita (Mexico), where she stayed with close friends to celebrate her 21st birthday last weekend. The “horrific” injuries (photo here>>) seem to have faded but the pain is more than skin deep.

It’s going to take awhile for Rihanna to recover from the tragic night when her boyfriend Chris Brown allegedly beat her and threatened to kill her. Let’s hope justice can somehow make it easier for her. Chris is reportedly taking anger management classes in an attempt to clean up his public image.
