Nov 17 2009Chris Brown talks about dating again. Oh, good.
Hopefully the point of asking Chris Brown when he's going to date is to alert potential victims, but this is MTV so let's assume they want to film it:
"My whole dating thing, I've been kinda chillin'," he told MTV News. "I mean, I'm Chris Brown. I'm not saying it like that, but it's just, like, girls are gonna be around. I love women. But I would say I've just been chillin'. I haven't really been trying to get into a relationship or trying to date anybody. I've just kinda been working on me. Like I said, just really getting me straight."
If by "I'm Chris Brown" you didn't mean "I have a shitload of money and women are gold-digging whores who'll convince themselves it's Rihanna fault for sticking her ear between my teeth," you're doing it wrong.

Nov 12 2009Rihanna's nipple almost eluded us. Almost...
Rihanna attended the 2009 Glamour Women of the Year Awards earlier this week where apparently her nipple was completely visible the whole time. Considering she won that night, I'd like to take this time to thank the editors of Glamour for empowering women to show more nip so I can ogle them from the privacy of my home. But don't worry, it's done very tastefully. (Anyone seen my Batman costume?)

Nov 9 2009Chris Brown says Rihanna should shut up. Smart.
In a statement to MTV News, Chris Brown pretty much says Rihanna should've kept her mouth shut last week which surprisingly didn't send his publicist careening off a cliff in a hale of bourbon and barbiturates - yet:
"While I respect Rihanna's right to discuss the specific events of February 8, I maintain my position that all of the details should remain a private matter between us," he said in the statement. "I do appreciate her support and wish her the best. I am extremely sorry for what I did, and I accept accountability for my actions. At this point, I am taking the proper steps to learn about me and grow from my mistakes. I only hope that others in similar situations can learn from our experience as well. Abuse of any kind is always wrong. The rest I leave it to God."
And Chris Brown is right. Rihanna probably shouldn't have told the world he bit her in the ear and fingers like a belligerent three-year-old. It's the least she could do to thank him for all those punches to the face. Some people are just ungrateful, I guess.
Nov 5 2009Rihanna: THE INTERVIEW
In an interview with Diane Sawyer on today's Good Morning America, Rihanna talks about her humiliation for not only being beaten by Chris Brown but going back to him after the incident:
"That's embarrassing that that's the type of person that I fell in love with," Rihanna told "Good Morning America's" Diane Sawyer in her first television interview discussing the assault. "So far in love. So unconditional that I went back. It's humiliating to say this happened. To accept that? It's a traumatizing experience." Her decision to go back to Brown, she said, was a mistake.
"I stayed. I even went back after he beat me, which was wrong," she said. "But again ... I'm a human being and people put me on a very unrealistic pedestal. And all these expectations, I'm not perfect."
The 21-year-old star acknowledged that Brown held her in a headlock twice that night and bit her on the ear and fingers.
Rihanna also realized young girls look up to her and she was setting a horrible precedent by staying with Chris Brown who apparently fights like he was told he couldn't have a juice box while watching Dora:
"It's completely normal to go back. It's not right. I learned the hard way, but again, this is what I want people to know," she said. "When I realized that my selfish decision for love could result in some young girl getting killed, I could not be easy with that part. I couldn't be held responsible for going back.
"Even if Chris never hit me again, who is to say that their boyfriend won't? Who's to say that they won't kill these girls?" she said. "These are young girls and I just didn't realize how much of an impact I had on these girls' lives until that happened."
While it's a little too convenient Rihanna's coming forward just weeks before the release of her new album, I can also see how it's the perfect time to be a role model for young girls in abusive relationships. I dunno, maybe it would ease my conscious if she talked more about the importance of identifying warning signs. Like that time Chris Brown punched a kitten because his custom Xbox didn't have enough diamonds - then angrily waxed his vagina. That kind of stuff.

Nov 4 2009Rihanna: 'I felt like Britney Spears'
Rihanna opens up to Glamour about the days after the night Chris Brown brutally beat her after a Pre-Grammys party in February:
It has taught me so much. I felt like I went to sleep as Rihanna and woke up as Britney Spears. That was the level of media chaos that happened the next day. It was like, What, there are helicopters circling my house? There are 100 people in my cul-de-sac? What do you mean, I can't go back home?
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Look, I understand that an abusive experience like this does a number on a woman's self-esteem. You start to think "Did I deserve this? Is this my fault?" which is a completely normal reaction even though the answer to both is an emphatic "no." But equating yourself to Britney Spears? I can't even fahtom going to a place that dark. Damn you, Chris Brown! Damn you to hell!
Nov 3 2009Coco is a national treasure
Now it's time for everyone's favorite part of the month where I mine Coco's Twitter for high-quality examples of photographic excellence. And she literally has everything this time around: Rihanna, Ice-T with a ball gag, couches, giant breasted mermaids and, of course, a gratutious up-close shot of her super-butt. I swear, if Coco embodied the American spirit anymore, the next National Treasure movie would have to include Nicolas Cage solving JFK's murder* after deciphering the secret location of Coco's nipples. -- Ha! Just kidding. She doesn't have any.
*Spoiler Alert: It was the Freemasons! Beat you to it, Dan Brown. FACE!

Nov 2 2009Rihanna: The Exploitation Event of the Season!
I can't tell what I find more disturbing about this teaser: That Rihanna is telling "her story" conveniently in time for the release of her new album, or that ABC is marketing it like it's the next Harry Potter movie. Classy.
