Rihanna Speaking Out In ‘Glamour’ And With Diane Sawyer
Posted on 03. Nov, 2009 by CSS.
Rihanna is speaking out for the first time since being assaulted by ex-boyfriend Chris Brown in a Grammy night attack last February. In a poignant interview with Glamour’s December issue, Rihanna, a Glamour 2009 Woman of the Year recipitent, talks about how she coped after the brawl with Brown that garnered international headlines.
“I went to sleep as Rihanna and woke up as Britney Spears,” the “Russian Roulette” singer recalls in the interview, on newsstands Nov. 10. “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.”
Rihanna will be honored — alongside literary legend Maya Angelou and comedian Amy Poehler — at the annual Glamour Women of the Year event in New York City on Monday, Nov. 9.
In an interview with Diane Sawyer due to be aired on ABC’s Good Morning America this Thursday and Friday, the Barbadian-born singer says Chris Brown was “definitely my first big love.”
“This happened to me … it can happen to anyone,” she told Sawyer according to a statement from ABC.
Chris and Rihanna were among the fastest rising R&B artists in the country before the assault, which led to Chris losing several commercial sponsorships and being slapped with five years of probation.

Alexa Chung ‘V Magazine’ Interview
Posted on 02. Nov, 2009 by CSS.
Chung lives in Brooklyn’s hot neighborhood, Williamsburg, but she hasn’t been so successful when it comes to making friends in New York. “I don’t really have any friends in America.”
“Well, I have some friends,” Chung tells V Magazine. “But I’m working all the time, and, also, I just think that I’m a good judge of character….I just can’t tolerate douche bags.”
British talk show host Alexa Chung inherited TRL’s time slot over the summer, but she’s just not clicking with the Americans on her hit MTV show It’s On with Alexa Chung.
Chung’s daily show is a smash but when her contract with MTV ends, will the 25-year-old return to native England?
“I don’t know. I went to a wedding last weekend [in England] and when I got back here I was quite relieved to be home in New York. Whoa, I guess that’s the first time I actually said that and meant it: ‘Home in New York.’”

David Hasselhoff Relates Himself To Amy Winehouse
Posted on 02. Nov, 2009 by CSS.
Baywatch star David Hasselhoff has compared himself to drug-addled singer Amy Winehouse, saying that the pair share an addiction to alcohol that is “a universal problem.”
The singer/actor was admitted to rehab last month amid reports he accidentally hit a doctor during a booze binge. The Hoff has also been hospitalized on two separate occasions this year suffering from alcohol poisoning.
The star is now openly acknowledging that he has a drinking problem.
“The problem that I’ve experienced in my own life and some of the stuff that’s been documented about Amy is a universal problem. It’s an illness. You don’t wake up in the morning and decide to have this problem.”
I think it is very courageous for David to finally speak out about his struggle which has been publicly known for some time. It is so true, no one plans on being an alcoholic-it’s a disease- and I wish him the best with his recovery.

Brad Paisley ‘Playgirl’ Magazine?
Posted on 02. Nov, 2009 by CSS.
Country hunk Brad Paisley won’t be ripping a page from the Book of Levi Johnston and baring all for Playgirl.
During an interview on Broadway’s Electric Barnyard Radio Show last week, Brad was asked if he would ever do Playgirl like fellow musician Keith Urban, who posed in 2001, Brad said he has been asked, but politely declined.
“I’ve actually turned that down,” the singer said. “They’ve asked a few times. They can forget it.”
He added, “They ask every male country singer, trust me.”
One reason why Brad won’t be posing is because he wants to be someone his younger fans can count on.
“That’s just not what I’m about,” he said. “You know another thing? I’ve got a lot of fans that are teenage girls here and there and I don’t want them buying that magazine. I’m not going to promote that magazine,” explained Brad, who is married to actress Kimberly Williams.
“Some things are better left to the imagination and that’s one of them.”

In an emotional interview with The TODAY Show’s Meredith Vieira on Tuesday, legendary professional wrestler Hulk Hogan talks about how a nasty divorce and his son’s accident brought him to the brink of suicide — and how a single conversation with his American Gladiators co-star Laila Ali brought him back.
Hulk weaves a life story filled with cheating, steroids, and chronic body aches on the pages of his explosive new memoir, My Life Outside the Ring.
“I’m ready to open up about everything in my life. And there’s plenty to tell! So I promise to be as open and honest in these pages as I possibly can —occasionally about some heavy stuff that I’m sure you never expected to hear from the Hulkster. I don’t know, maybe you’ll laugh at me. Or maybe you’ll see a little bit of yourself in me. Either way, if you want to read this book for the sheer entertainment value of it, that’s fine by me, too. Let’s face it, brother: My life’s been one hell of a trip, and I’m more than happy to take you along for the ride.”

‘Nightline’ Martin Bashir Investigates Scientology And Causes Tommy Davis To Abruptly Leave
Posted on 27. Oct, 2009 by CSS.
Boy is the Church of Scientology taking a beating this week…..
Crash director Paul Haggis made headlines on Monday, after he abandoned the controversial sect after more than 30 years over its anti-gay marriage stance. Now, Tommy Davis, the head of the Church of Scientology’s Celebrity Center, is hitting the blogosphere for walking out of an interview with ABC Nightline correspondent Martin Bashir, because he didn’t like Bashir’s line of questioning.
Last week, ABC ran a two-part investigation into Scientology, which focused on the allegedly violent behavior by leader David Miscavige, as well as the involvement celebrities like Tom Cruise and John Travolta.
In a taped interview,which aired last Friday, Bashir grilled Davis about the church’s involvement in the autism treatments of celebrity Scientologist John Travolta’s late son Jett.
“Do you know if the church ever advised them not to allow their son to receive certain medications?”
Davis curtly replied, “The church never advised them in any way, shape or form whatsoever on any aspect of their son’s treatment. Never have, never will.”
Bashir asked Davis to expound on the church’s bizarre founding mythology, which involves an intergalactic god named Xenu who brought his people to Earth 75 million years ago and stuffed them in a volcano. Telling Bashir he wouldn’t discuss “disgusting perversions” of the religion, Davis removed his microphone and stormed off the set.
