The first interview with Rihanna after being assaulted by Chris Brown will air this week on ABC.

Rihanna sat down for a one-on-one interview with Diane Sawyer which will air Thursday and Friday on Good Morning America and Friday night on 20/20.

Chris Brown was sentenced, of course, in August to five years’ probation, six months of community labor and a year of domestic-violence counseling after he pleaded guilty to felony assault.

Rihanna is getting back into the public eye to promote her new single, Russian Roulette, from her upcoming album, Rated R, out Nov. 23.

The beautiful star also appears on the cover of this month’s Glamour, where she discusses the healing process.

“The positive thing that has come out of my situation is that people can learn from (me),” she says in the article. “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. Now I can help speak for those women.”

She’ll be honored Monday by Glamour Magazine as their choice for  Glamour Woman of the Year its gala awards ceremony at Carnegie Hall.

Hopefully Rihanna is moving forward and Chris Brown will become smaller and smaller in her rearview mirror.

According to Web reports, the beautiful singer shared a dinner with L.A. Lakers’ center Andrew Bynum at a Beverly Hills steakhouse last weekend. Although Chris Brown has been spotted with at least one other date since he beat Rihanna, this is the first time she has been seen with another man.

Brown has been charged with felony assault and making criminal threats after he punched, bit and choked Rihanna until she was unconscious in his car on Feb. 8. He pleaded not guilty, but the pictures tell a different story.

Unfortunately, as much as Rihanna’s fans want to see her away from Chris Brown, other reports suggest they are getting back together.  I guess time will tell.

Someone passed the following information along to me. As a Rihanna fan, I came here to post it the minute I opened the e-mail. I only wish I could plaster it all over the internet!

Rihanna fans are preparing to shred Chris Brown posters, pictures, cds, etc. Sweet!

New York is having a “Shred Your Ex” party the day before Valentines Day. Radio Station WBLI has invited members of Rihanna’s Fan Club and other fans across the nation to join the pop star’s side along with others who are “unlucky in love.”

According to Nancy Cambino, the station’s operations manager, “Valentine’s Day should stand for love so we find it fitting to make the Friday the 13th right before Valentine’s Day a day for revenge for those who were unlucky in love. Whether you’re a Rihanna fan or not, we can all empathize with being with someone who caused love to go wrong.”

Statistically 40 percent of America will be alone on Valentines Day. Divorce rate is at an all-time high in the last few years, and radio station BLI wants to bring America together for a common cause.

WHEN: FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13TH
10:30am

WHERE: THE BLI STUDIOS
555 SUNRISE HIGHWAY
WEST BABYLON, NY

Rhianna Friends, supporters, fans and those who were unlucky in love will be invited to come to the BLI Studios in New York on Friday, the 13th with photos, letters or other mementos from ex-lovers to shred in the wood chipper!

I’ll say right up front that none of us know what was going on inside the car or inside his head, so we can’t even begin to understand, but Chris Brown apparently assaulted girlfriend Rihanna last night and has been arrested. TMZ reports that she had visible injuries, including bite marks.

Classy, Chris. Incredibly classy.

Neither one, obviously, made their expected Grammy appearances. People speculated that there’d been a car wreck – but ironically the wreck was inside the car.

Apparently, Chris threatened her life on top of abusing her. He’s being charged with Criminal Threats which could carry a 9 year sentence. While I don’t see that happening, I’d say that he has lost a lot of fans and a lot of respect.

Having said that, we don’t have the complete story.  The only thing is, nothing at all would justify this.

Hopefully Rihanna will recover completely and rapidly. She deserves better than this.

The picture above was taken the night before Chris Brown’s arrest.

I normally don’t post a lot of gossip, because with live wires  like Britney Spears, Lil Wayne, Akon, Fergie,  and Kanye West – the truth is far more interesting than conjecture. 

However, I couldn’t pass this one up.  It involves one of my favorite people, little Miss Sunshine, Rihanna.

Rumors are that X Factor winner, Alexandra Burke wanted to meet Rihanna’s boyfriend, Chris Brown.  Apparently, like most people, Miss Burke is a huge fan.  So, word is that Rihanna basically said, “Uh, no.”  

You know how gossip goes – it’s just as likely to be true as not true.  But from where I sit, I don’t think Rihanna would have even the tiniest reason to be jealous of Alexandra Burke, or anyone for that matter.  In fact, in today’s news stories, there are accounts of Rihanna laughing as her man dirty dances on stage with other girls.

Doesn’t strike me as an insecure girl.   I’d say that if the meeting didn’t happen, it wasn’t Rihanna’s fault.  Come on, it’s just not that easy to meet someone like Chirs Brown!

There are only two weeks to go before the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards, and the excitement’s growing like wildfire. 

Kanye, Rihanna, Chris Brown, Katy Perry… so many great artists are up for awards. Kanye should win with Good Life, but I’ve thought that before.
