It was ladies' week in Hollywood (and related environs) as real stars like Rihanna and Mariah Carey opened up on TV about serious, emotional issues; celebish types like Kate Gosselin rehashed stories we already know, but with more tears; and nonentity (in Hollywood and related environs) Nicole Forrester talked about having a one-night stand with Fergie's man.

Rihanna: I Told Myself I'd Never Date Anyone Like My Father

6 November 2009 7:38 PM, PST

Even if she had never met Chris Brown, Rihanna knew how domestic abuse could turn into a vicious cycle. "I always anticipated it happening. At night I wouldn't want to sleep, because I was too afraid it would happen," the singer said in the portion of her ABC News interview that aired on 20/20 tonight, referring to her father hitting her mother when she was a child growing up in Barbados. "She never went to the hospital, but he broke her nose.," Rihanna continued. "She would never go to the hospital...Domestic violence is not somebody that people want anbody to know, so she would just hide it in the house. I always said to myself, 'I'm never going to date somebody like my dad,... »

Chris Brown: I Accept Accountability...But Some Things Are Just Private

6 November 2009 6:20 PM, PST

ABC snagged Rihanna, leaving MTV... with Chris Brown. But the network and the fallen R&B star made the most of the opportunity tonight with a half-hour special that gave Brown a chance to reflect even more upon his endlessly reflected-upon crime. So did he have anything new to say this time? Well, Brown's position has been to not discuss what exactly happened the night he assaulted his then-girlfriend, turning him into a celeb-gossip pariah before the sun had risen the next day. But Rihanna did go into detail about the attack, however, and MTV gave Brown the opportunity to respond to what Rihanna was dishing out to Diane Sawyer. "While I respect Rihanna's right to... »

New Moon Shockers: R.Pattz Isn't Romantic + More!

6 November 2009 5:31 PM, PST

Edward Cullen? All kinds of melodramatic romantic. Robert Pattinson? Not so much, at least, according to Robert Pattinson. "I really haven't done that many romantic things in my life...I mean, I've watched Titanic," he said today at a press conference promoting New Moon, the second part in, like, only the most important movie series like ever. Another shocking reveal: The actor-musician, who even had a song on the Twilight soundtrack, has never serenaded anyone. "Oh no. You need to have so much balls to do that, Jesus Christ," he said. "I put a flower on someone's locker when I was 15." What else did Pattz reveal? Oh, so much...   • His... »

Joe Jackson Demands a Piece of Michael

6 November 2009 3:31 PM, PST

Look who's coming around after all. Joe Jackson, who previously said that he spends most of his time in Las Vegas and that his estranged wife, Katherine, would handle the raising of Michael Jackson's children, is now petitioning the estate for his own monthly stipend. Saying he has no steady source of income aside from $1,700 a month from Social Security, Jackson stated in court documents that he had relied on his son for support up until the King of Pop's death. Michael gave money to his mom, which she in turn, acting as an agreed-upon go-between, gave to Joe. Michael did not provide for Joe in his will, rather splitting his estate among his mother, children and various charities. But... »

K.Stew's So Over Gossip: "It Doesn't Bother Me"

6 November 2009 3:28 PM, PST

Attention all Robsten tongue-waggers: Gossip away! Kristen Stewart is over it! Totally and completely over it! Much hay has been made in recent days about K.Stew's tumultuous relationship with the tabloids and her fierce words for gossips. But at a press conference today in Los Angeles promoting The Twilight Saga: New Moon, Stewart indicated she'd finally found a way to cope. "The whole rumor, tabloid stuff, it's so obviously false," she said, holding forth solo before a press mob, enthused and energetic and seemingly very happy about the whole thing. "I became a part of a show, a ridiculous show, with false realism, like a soap opera, but it doesn't bother me. I... »

Fashion Face-Off: Katy Perry vs. Blake Lively

6 November 2009 3:15 PM, PST

You wouldn't think Katy Perry and Blake Lively would have similar styles, but go figure: Both babes recently donned versions of the same lacy, floral print dress. Blake wore it first, to the NYC premiere of Where the Wild Things Are. Perhaps taking the movie's title a bit too literally, she settled on a feathered version of the frock. The Gossip Girl star showed lots of leg and left her blond locks loose and wavy to complete the look. Katy, however, chose a long, elegant version for her hosting duties at the MTV Europe Awards last night... While Blake seemed to be channeling her inner she-wolf, Katy kept it classy in the floor-length, flowy gown with her hair in a chic... »

Bask in Tori Amos' Midwinter Graces Right Here!

6 November 2009 3:07 PM, PST

It isn't out until Tuesday, but we've got it right here. The little earthquake you're feeling is the rumblings of Midwinter Graces, Tori Amos' 11th studio album and her first seasonal compilation. Get primed for the winter holidays (already?!) with tunes twisted Tori-style, including "What Child, Nowell," "Harps of Gold," "Snow Angel" and "Our New Year." Christmas with an edge, we're calling it. The 12-track album (not including bonus material) doesn't drop until Nov. 10, but we've got every lush chord and wistful lyric right after the jump. »

Taylor Swift Owes Kanye West a Thank-You!

6 November 2009 2:11 PM, PST

Hey, we've got an opening monologue for Taylor Swift. "Hi, I'm Taylor Swift, as you know," the teen titan could start off with on tomorrow's Saturday Night Live. "And I'd like to thank Kanye West for helping you know that." Ok, so the lines aren't funny. But they are true. The SNL gig—as host and musical guest? The honor of being the first female country performer to pull that desirable double duty since Dolly Parton more than 20 years ago? The album that's been out forever and is back climbing the charts? Yup, somebody owes Mr. West a muffin basket. Think we're going off half-cocked (like a certain rapper, perhaps?) by suggesting that... »

Hollywood Burglars Begin to Turn on Each Other

6 November 2009 2:00 PM, PST

The Hollywood Burglary Bunch apparently has no problems eating its own. As we previously reported, investigators believe the ringmaster was one Rachel Lee, and now court documents obtained Friday by E! News offer yet more details into the case against her. Lee was seemingly sold out by her alleged partner-in-crime, Nicholas Prugo, who is quoted in an affidavit saying she orchestrated hits on such stars as Orlando Bloom, Audrina Patridge and Brian Austin Green. Prugo told detectives that Lee chose their celebrity targets, while he would gather information and pictures on the Internet. He also told investigators she was primarily after the designer wardrobes of celebs she... »

Lmao! Jessica Alba Is a Funny Friggin' Focker

6 November 2009 1:33 PM, PST

Just because Jessica Alba isn't the most smiley, happy-go-lucky starlet in Hollywood that doesn't mean she's not a load of fun. Teri Polo, one of Alba's costars in the upcoming Little Fockers, insists Ms. Alba loves a good laugh… "She loves to be funny," Polo told us at last night's BAFTA/La Britannia Awards. "I also think she's a very shy person who perhaps people perceive as a certain way…We get along just great." So why does she get a rap for being a sourpuss? Polo explained... "I think some people have a certain preconception and are intimidated and don't approach them properly," Polo said. "So then why would that person come... »

La Toya's Cut Brüno Scene Surfaces, Makes Glorious Benefit of DVD

6 November 2009 12:59 PM, PST

Comedy is all about timing. Unfortunately, Brüno's stank. Days after Michael Jackson's June 25 death—just two weeks before Sacha Baron Cohen's raunchfest was set to premiere—filmmakers scrambled to remove a scene that could have been deemed distasteful, even by their standards. The flamboyant Austrian fashion plate lured La Toya Jackson to a Hollywood home, sat her on a Mexican laborer, made her eat sushi off the nude body of another, shanghaied her BlackBerry and read out Michael's number, all after asking her to impersonate him. But what a difference four months makes. Now, like Edward and Bella or Suri Cruise and seasonally inappropriate garb, Brüno and La... »

Attention, Mia Michaels lovers! All hope is not lost. Even though the star choreographer doesn't have any immediate plans to return to So You Think You Can Dance, she is coming back to TV before you know it. We just spoke to her, and her message to her fans is this: "Be patient, because you're gonna get a lot more Mia than you expect." So what's the deal with her new in-the-works choreography show?

While the untitled new show is not currently set up any particular network (Mia said, "I'm in talks with a bunch of them right now,") the overall plan for the series has been laid out. Mia said, "The show is... »

Usher Can Say "Yeah!" to the Single Life

6 November 2009 12:25 PM, PST

The paper trail may have been long but at least they're all signed. Usher and Tameka Foster finalized their divorce on Wednesday. The star first filed for divorce in June, citing "irreconcilable differences" and declaring they had lived apart for nearly a year and that the marriage was "irretrievably broken." The 31-year-old star married the stylist in August 2007, and their son, Usher Raymond V, was born a few months later. Their second son, Naviyd Ely Raymond, arrived in December 2008. Usher filed for joint custody, but the arrangements have not been made public. »

Jackson Family Reality Series Debuting in December

6 November 2009 12:21 PM, PST

Shove over, Jon & Kate. Here come Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Randy. The Jackson brothers are finally getting ready for their close-ups, with A&E officially unveiling the debut date for the family's long-in-the-works reality series. Filming, which focuses on the siblings and their respective families, actually began nearly a year ago but was shelved after Michael scuttled a proposed Jacksons reunion concert. It was the singer's shocking death in June that sparked renewed interest. Producers scrambled to retool the series to include the family's reactions to Michael's passing. There have been conflicting signals from A&E about whether the show will include video of... »

Fashion Police: Leona Lewis' Dress Is So Fierce It'll Slap You in the Face

6 November 2009 12:02 PM, PST

Leona Lewis was at MTV's European Music Awards yesterday where she performed her latest single "Happy." She had walked the red carpet in harem pants so we weren't expecting too much from her stage style. But then the X Factor winner changed into this amazing custom Vivienne Westwood gown for her performance, and whoa! Total diva status. We are digging the extravagant full tulle skirt and pointy Pvc corset. Not only does it flatter her figure, but she goes all the way crazy-fierce evil Barbie—and owns it. It's like a slap in the face to everyone playing it too safe on the red carpet. ________ Get more crazy fierce and fugly red carpet looks as chosen by... »
