Rihanna
Rihanna is finally speaking out about the Chris Brown assault that took place in February. She spoke to Glamour Magazine about the incident and how much attention she got afterwards.

"I went to sleep as Rihanna and woke up as Britney Spears," Rihanna tells Glamour in its December issue. "That was the level of media chaos that happened the next day."

She adds: "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."

In regards to the infamous leaked photo of Rihanna looking bruised and battered, she said, "That is not a photo you would show to anybody.".

"I felt completely taken advantage of . . . like people were making it into a fun topic . . . and it's my life. I was disappointed, especially when I found out the photo was [supposedly leaked by] two women."

Rihanna will also be speaking to Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America on Thursday. During that interview she talks about Chris being her first love. Rihanna's new album hits stores on November 23 so we will be seeing a lot of the singer in the coming month.

myholly, why is it when people come to the US and do great, you Americans take all the praise, like Sammy Sosa, other sports players etc, and as soon as they do something you don't like you then remember that they are not Americans and then tell them to go back to their country? You all are such hypocrites. And another thing, if you see other pictures of Rihanna, she's gorgeous. If you don't like her in this picture, fine, but she's a beautiful, gorgeous young woman and you're an idiot.

I do agree that they should have never been together, Rihanna stated in a 2007 interview with Complex Magazine that she once hit her brother in the face with a bottle, also in the statement from the probation report for Chris Brown she also admitted to slapping him once before. Women of the year, she should not be in there,for what? Staying in the news at fashion shows? After the incident 9 months ago she had a chance to speak out, Jay-Z said on Oprah she should and after her singles came out and received negative press, she decided now is the time to speak out... BULL!!!

She's a liar. She slapped and he crapped. End of discussion. I bet she'll watch who she smack next time. If you hit expect to get hit back man/woman.

She is STUPID and IGNORANT and is only saying what she feels the media wants to hear. She will remain in her pattern of destruction and be beaten again and again! Get thee back to Barbados UGLY, no-talent MOMMA! And YOU, Nivcharah...this is an OPINION forum...cast the first stone if you dare!

Wow. Such harsh & ugly, cynicism! Just remember, what you post is a reflection of yourself. I'm glad she's learned from this terrible experience. Hopefully other women will learn from her.

I love younger men. I have dated only men at least 10 years younger and as much as 17 years younger than me for many years. I love the energy and a nice tight bod. Older men just aren't the same, different mentality. I seem to have more in common with younger guys. They're actually more fun and are usually more interested in me. I'm flattered. I think younger men like cougars because they have no agenda, don't usually want to get married and are usually very independent and don't need a man to take care of them. I meet younger men on this website: W W W . S UG A R MO MM A M EE T. C 0 M
