Rihanna: I Told Myself I'd Never Date Anyone Like My Father
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, never.'
"I always said that."
And yet she not only dated someone who hit her, she went back to him after the fact.

New Moon Shockers: R.Pattz Isn't Romantic + More!
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...
Chris Brown: I Accept Accountability...But Some Things Are Just Private
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 discuss the specific events of February 8th, I maintain my position that all of the details should remain a private matter between us," he said in a statement to MTV today.
Joe Jackson Demands a Piece of Michael
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 that doesn't mean the King of Pop's estate is legally prohibited from providing for Joe, his lawyers insist.

K.Stew's So Over Gossip: "It Doesn't Bother Me"
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 don't take it personally, because I have gotten so much experience with this, it's gotten easier."
In fact, K.Stew now insists she gets it, how fans can get carried away, too.
"I totally understand that people have a hard time seeing us outside of our characters," she said, admitting she's very also very attached to hers, the lovestruck Bella Swan.
"I'm very protective of her. I feel a shared ownership, its weird," she said. "Maybe I am an immature girl as well; I really feel like if you think you need to do it, you need to do it, and 'it' can be anything. Be extreme. Go for it. I know this is a movie about immortality and mortality, but you only live once."

Taylor Swift Owes Kanye West a Thank-You!
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.
Fashion Face-Off: Katy Perry vs. Blake Lively
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...

Hollywood Burglars Begin to Turn on Each Other

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 "admired."
Prugo also gave investigators detailed descriptions of their methods and loot. For example, he said that he and Lee bagged between $200,000 and $300,00 of Chanel loot from Rachel Bilson's home and entered Paris Hilton's home three times, taking cash, narcotics and personal effects.
Prugo said he was nervous about committing the last burglary, at Lindsay Lohan's home, because they had already been captured on surveillance footage.
"You're already here," Lee allegedly told Prugo. "You might as well come inside and get something for yourself."
