“He has to be good in bed and the size matters. You know what I mean? The inner beauty counts as well, but without a toy it doesn’t make it fun. Right now I don’t want to have a serious relationship, I want to have fun. I love flirting at the moment. I’m single and I’m enjoying my freedom. But I don´t give my phone number out that often. But if I’m dating, I check the boy from the top to the bottom.”

Here’s one of those celeb makeup moments that makes you go, “Hey, that’s a cool idea and looks pretty,” but then makes you think, “How would I ever really wear that?” Surely, Rihanna‘s pink eyeliner is a bit dramatic, and unless you’re going out to ‘80s night (or an award show, whatever), it probably won’t fly in most situations (work, date, daytime look). However, tone down the intensity on that fuchsia, and it can become a really pretty complement to your skin tone. After the jump, instructions on how to get a subdued pink eye. [Clutch]

“The shoes, the clothes are pretty uncomfortable. Nothing I wear is comfortable besides my underwear.”

• Rihanna is rumored to be dating Tristan Wilds, the 20-year-old cutie from “90210.” [NY Daily News]—If this is true, then she definitely has a type: baby faces.
• Carmen Electra, who is engaged to rocker Rob Patterson, simulates a little lesbian foreplay with a brunette gal pal in a new video that leaked onto the internet. [Starpulse]
• Penelope Cruz dodged questions about whether she’s marrying Javier Bardem, saying her personal privacy is “sacred,” but she doesn’t like to lie about it. [PopEater]—Only time will tell.

Can’t work out your relationship issues in a court of law? Try making a music video. At least that’s how singer Chris Brown appears to be attempting to deal with his problems with ex Rihanna. After falling from grace for beating up the pop star and failing to score public forgiveness, Brown has turned his latest music video, “Crawl,” into a bit of pretend therapy. Singer Cassie plays the Rihanna role as Brown seeks to woo her back—thankfully, to no avail. I don’t think Rihanna’s going to be crawling back to that kind of love anytime soon. Mostly, he just comes across as sad and pathetic. [Videos.antville.org]

Which I’m sure she got from, like, bumping her head into the mirror or something, but peeps are probs gonna be like, “OMG who gave Rihanna a swollen eye this time?” [London, 11/15/09]

Rihanna was a guest on “It’s On With Alexa Chung” today, and Alexa was able to give the girl a break by moving the conversation past the domestic violence she experienced at the hands of Chris Brown. Rihanna talks briefly about the spike in calls to domestic abuse hotlines after her “20/20” interview, but then we get to hear about the lighter side of her life—how she chooses her tattoos, what it’s like working with Ne-Yo, and how a fan can get her look. You know, the fun stuff someone her age should be concerned with. I’m sure this interview was a nice reprieve for Rihanna.

Chris Brown sat down with Sway at MTV to discuss his assault of Rihanna on Feb. 8. He tries to portray himself as a changed man who is learning from his actions, even going as far as to say that he knows for certain he’ll never assault another woman and enjoys learning to control his anger in his domestic violence classes. But, I’m sorry to say, he never seems truly remorseful, except when discussing how this has negatively affected his career. He’s hardly humble, saying that his hecklers are just being “ignorant.” And he only pays lip service to the fact that healthy relationships aren’t violent. Towards the end, I got the feeling that Chris still has hopes he and Rihanna will get back together.

You can watch parts two and three of the interview here.

• Chris Brown says the assault should stay between him and Rihanna. [Us Weekly]—Yeah, he wouldn’t be singing that tune if he didn’t have so much to lose by her speaking out.
• Chelsy Davy tried to sit apart from Prince Harry at a rugby match over the weekend, but simply couldn’t. She ended up throwing the guy between them out of his seat. [Dlisted]—That’s not how you keep a rekindled romance on the down low.
• Lamar Odom wants Khloe Kardashian pregnant “soon.” [PopEater]—Why? So he can replace his other children that she reportedly hasn’t met yet?

Chris Brown‘s camp, i.e. minuscule people we’ve never heard of, like dancers and friends, have responded to Rihanna‘s interview on “Good Morning America” yesterday and today, and not surprisingly, they claim she’s to blame for the assault. They say she lied during the interview and was a different person and that this is a ploy for her to sell more albums. Check out the ridiculous claims after the jump.

• Kristen Stewart says she’d rather admit to being a lesbian than discuss her rumored relationship with Robert Pattinson. [OK! UK]
• Rihanna told Diane Sawyer that she went back to Chris Brown eight or nine times following domestic violence incidents, in the first part of her ABC interview. Read more here ... [PopEater]—OK, I know this is way off topic and I’m happy she has a message to young girls, but what the f**k is up with her hair?
• Jon Gosselin will spend Thanksgiving Day with Hailey Glassman, not with his children. [Us Weekly]

The first part of Diane Sawyer’s interview with Rihanna aired on “Good Morning America” today and her admissions about the abuse she suffered at the hands of ex-boyfriend Chris Brown were far beyond what she acknowledged in her interview with this month’s Glamour. Tearing up at one point, Rihanna explained to Sawyer that after the abuse—one out of “eight or nine” separate times he hit her—became public knowledge she felt ashamed that everyone now knew the “type of person” she was in love with. “I stayed. I even went back after he beat me, which was wrong,” she said. “But again ... I’m a human being and people put me on a very unrealistic pedestal. And all these expectations, I’m not perfect.” Still, it was those expectations that eventually motivated her to leave.

Of course we get the real dirt a few days after the big night. Apparently, Mariah Carey and Rihanna had a diva-off on Halloween. Even though Mariah was hosting the party, Rihanna didn’t pay her regards to the songstress, a witness said. And Rihanna’s tiger costume required a security guard to hold up the tail, while Mariah needed six guards to clear a path to the bathroom so her angel wings didn’t get tousled. Sheesh. [NY Post]

What is it about Halloween that brings out the stars’ most ridiculous behavior? Read on for more celebrities who behaved badly on Halloween.

Rihanna‘s Rated R album hits stores in 20 days (yes, I’m counting), and a video for the new song “Wait Your Turn” just came out! I feel like I might be getting a little old to be so excited about something like this, but I can’t help it—it’s been too long since RiRi came out with new material! And this song is good. [via ONTD]

Rihanna is finally opening up about the physical abuse she suffered by ex-boyfriend Chris Brown in an interview with Glamour magazine. They interviewed Rihanna for their annual Women Of The Year issue, ostensibly to speak up for domestic violence survivors, which is a brave move for her to make. But honestly? Rihanna’s statement is of the “no, duh” variety and sounds like it was written/watered down by PR folks and lawyers.

On Thursday’s “Good Morning America” at 7 a.m., Rihanna will publicly break her silence and tell what went down in Chris Brown‘s Lamborghini the night he assaulted her. She’ll follow up that appearance with an interview on “20/20” on Friday at 10 p.m. [Celeb Wohoo]

I wouldn’t get too excited about this interview because Rihanna probably won’t reveal much—she’s had nine months to perfect the PR coaching she was no doubt given. But, we’ll be watching anyway, to find out whether this was an isolated incident or if there was a pattern of physical or emotional abuse before the assault.

Behold, the cover art for Rihanna’s upcoming album, Rated R, featuring the single “Russian Roulette.” It’s her first album since 2007’s Good Girl Gone Bad and to that I say, ABOUT TIME, RiRi. We’ve been waiting. [PopEater]

Rihanna has made us wait about two years since her last album (we aren’t counting the re-release of Good Girl Gone Bad), and the first single from the upcoming Rated R has just been released. “Russian Roulette” isn’t a catchy dance number like so many of the songs RiRi is known for. The slow ballad was written and produced by Ne-Yo, who also worked on “Unfaithful,” “Take A Bow,” and “Hate That I Love You,” which are all in the same vein as this new single.

I’m not gonna lie. I was hoping for a song that would motivate me to go to the gym. I guess I’ll have to wait until Nov. 23, when Rated R will hit stores, to see whether The-Dream, Justin Timberlake, Tricky Stewart, and the other writers and producers who worked on the album with Rihanna cooked up anything that gets stuck in people’s heads the way “Umbrella” and “Shut Up and Drive” do.

Rihanna joined Twitter this week, just to let fans know that, “The Wait Is Ova.” She followed this up with a second tweet that read, “Nov 23 09,” which is presumably the release date of her newest album since Good Girl Gone Bad came out in 2007. She’s already shot the album cover in a nude bodysuit and white faux fur coat, so we’re wondering if she’s going back to “good” now that she’s ditched the neo goth look? In more Rihanna-related news, Chris Brown‘s please-forgive-me-Rihanna song, “So Cold,” was leaked onto the internet this week and I hate to say it, but it’s a decent song if you can ignore the fact that Chris Brown is a jackass.
