Yesterday on Good Morning America, Rihanna had a message for her fellow women who have suffered domestic abuse at the hands of their men: eff love!

She meant that in the sense that you can't take a man back just because you love him, as she did with Chris Brown. You have to stand up for yourself.

Today, in the second part of her interview with Diane Sawyer, Rihanna described, for the first time in her own words, just how bad Brown's attack was.

While it was all happening, Brown "had no soul in his eyes," she said.

We've read the police reports and seen the graphic, post-beating pics, but to hear Rihanna recount the events of the evening in detail is still shocking.

She says Chris really threatened to kill Rihanna for calling her assistant that night, and while she doesn't believe he ever follow through with that scare tactic, the physical abuse she recounts was both very real and deeply upsetting.

"I fended him off with my feet from one ... side of the car, but ... it was not like, it was not like a fight with each other. I just ... wanted it to stop," she said.

"I was bleeding. I was swollen in my face. So there was no way of me getting home, except for, my next option was to get out of the car and walk ... start walking in a gown, in a bloody face? So I really don't know what my plan was."

"I didn't have a plan. That whole night was not part of my plan."

By the time the police came, she was already "battered" and when asked what caused the fight initially, she would only say that her boyfriend lied to her:

"I caught him in a lie. I was being more annoyed at that point in our relationship he had to lie about something so stupid, I couldn't take that he kept lying to me. And he couldn't take that I wouldn't drop it. And … it was ugly."

Miley Cyrus is a liar and a fraud.

In her hit single, "Party in the USA," Cyrus gets all excited when a "Jay Z song" comes on the radio. In reality? The singer has never heard a single rap by this artist.

Cyrus says as much in an interview she gave on Halloween (posted after this article's jump). The star goes on to admit that she's not a fan of her own genre, saying:

"I don't listen to pop music."

But... you're a pop music superstar. What are you trying to say, Miles, that you don't write your own songs, have any say in which you sing and are nothing but a packaged Disney artist that will do anything your label tells you?

Cyrus adds that "Party in the USA" is "not even my style of music." For some reason, though, a higher power wants good things for this crooner.

"I'm really blessed for it to have done as well as it has. Totally blessed," she said. "God has definitely put me in an amazing position with amazing people."

We wonder if God also helped Miley choreograph the dance moves for this song when she performed it at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards.

OMG! Britney Spears does not sing live! Australia is just now getting this memo issued in 2003, apparently. Do you even get the Internet down there, mates?

Britney just arrived down under Thursday, but already she's the subject of government scrutiny over the fact that she'll be lip-synching portions of her shows.

Government scrutiny. What a great country. If this is what their elected officials have to worry about, we're living in the wrong place. Sydney here we come!

No, seriously. This is a real story. Virginia Judge, Minister for Fair Trading for New South Wales, said she is considering options to make sure fans aren't misled.

Britney's Circus tour tickets are going for more than $1,300, and while "it is Britney's 'prerogative' to lip-sync, it is my job to make sure consumers know what they are paying for up front," Judge said in a statement released by the government.

OMG WHAT? Britney doesn't sing live? Devastating and shocking.

One idea is to require disclaimers indicating that portions will be pre-recorded. They should also warn about expletive-laden tirades and wardrobe malfunctions.

Seriously, does anyone not know or care about this? It's no secret that many artists, including Spears, lip-sync at times during their elaborate stage shows.

We can't imagine anyone goes to see Britney live for the well-sung lyrics. They go to watch a hot girl gyrate on a stripper pole and dry hump backup dancers.

This isn't to say $1,300 isn't a ripoff. They play Britney Spears' "3" at strip clubs, too, and you can actually pay for a private dance there. Not that we know.

This just in: Kourtney Kardashian will eventually have her baby!

Step-father Brunce Jenner assures fans that there's no chance the socialite will remain knocked up forever. He told E! News:

"I have great confidence she will get through this - that baby will be born."

While phrased oddly at first, Jenner was actually offering a few words of warning for Kourtney, adding: "Then the real tough stuff starts for her. You've got a little baby there for 24 hours a day, for the next 20 years!"

It's actually closer to 18 years for most parents, Bruce. But you don't have any experience with your children actually attending college.

As for Kourtney, she's sick of packing on pounds.

"I weigh myself every day," she said. "I've gained 26 pounds since getting pregnant... I can't wait to sit down already. It's hard carrying extra weight."

Perhaps she should have thought of that before having unprotected sex with shady boyfriend Scott Disick.

Perhaps, also, she shouldn't look at this miraculous bundle of upcoming joy as "extra weight." Seriously. This kid is doomed.

We love Adam Lambert, but the guy has to give Kris Allen a break.

First, he received more publicity than Allen after American Idol, even though the latter actually won.

Then, he set a release date for his new album (November 23) just a few days after Allen's hits stores (November 17).

Now, Lambert has the nerve to start dating Ferras Alqaisi and really steal the spotlight from Kris. For shame!

Fortunately, Kris isn't going down without a fight! Or at least a music video. Check out the official video for "Live Like We're Dying" after the jump.

Okay, not really. This is obviously a complete joke, but it's a funny one, and one that may not be stretching the truth all that much if you think about it.

Wednesday, we told you about the Carrie Prejean sex tape, which resulted in the settlement of the beauty queen's lawsuit with Miss California officials.

Basically, she dropped her demands for $1 million approximately one nanosecond after they revealed they found a sex tape of hers - and showed her.

In the spoof below, a faux Carrie comments for the first time on the shocking video, saying that, hey, at least it's a heterosexual sex tape. Yay, God!

Ah, refreshing. I never knew a man could make me feel this good, I have some thinking to do....

Reigning Miss England beauty pageant title holder Rachel Christie has given up her crown after being accused of getting into a bar fight, according to UK sources.

Pageant organizers say Christie, a 21-year-old heptathlete, has also withdrawn from next month's Miss World finals in South Africa to focus on clearing her name.

This will also give her more time to train for the 2012 Olympics.

British newspapers reported Rachel Christie got into a dustup with another beauty queen - Miss Manchester Sara Beverley Jones - in a nightclub earlier this week.

Officers were called after Christie, who is dating Gladiator star Tornado – real name David McIntosh – allegedly punched Jones, in the face several times.

Miss England Rachel Christie decked Sara Beverley Jones and gave up her crown to "focus on clearing her name," i.e. beat her bosses to the punch. No pun intended.

Christie is said to have attacked her after Jones showed her a "saucy" text message from the Sky One program star. Christine struck and Jones went down hard.

The incident happened during an "adult" themed costume night at the club im which Christie was dressed as an angel, and Jones was dressed as a cavegirl.

Greater Manchester Police said Friday that a 21-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of assault after a melee at the city's Mansion nightclub Monday.

UK police will not release the names of people accused of crimes until they are formally charged in court. She was released on bail pending further enquiries.

Shocking that more and more beauty queens seem to be less than well-adjusted individuals. We need to get this free-swinger in a cage with Carrie Prejean.

Say it ain't so for humanity: Kevin Federline's girlfriend, Victoria Prince, is pregnant, according to reports. If true, it would be K-Fed's fifth freaking child.

Federline already has four children - daughter Kori, 7, and son Kaleb, 5, with former flame Shar Jackson, who he infamously dumped for Britney Spears.

The pop star soon bore him troubled sons Sean, 4, and Jayden, 3.

Victoria Prince, a former pro volleyball player, has been living with Kevin Federline since this spring for some reason, and just learned she is knocked up.

She began to suspect she was pregnant after the two spent a weekend in Las Vegas in mid-October. Her fat slob BF urged her to take a pregnancy test.

It was positive. As if there were any doubt. Guy's boys can swim!

K-Fed is totally pregnant. Er, we mean Victoria Prince is. Yeah ...

"The test was positive. She told Kevin that she was pregnant, but he didn't seem happy to hear the news," a source quoted by the National Enquirer says.

"Kevin wasn't planning to have children with Victoria, and he's upset with her. Kevin loves her, but he told her that he didn't want to get married again."

What's more, another source says the baby news could send the emotionally fragile Britney Spears, who long hoped for a reconciliation, back off the rails:

"Britney never wanted Kevin to have another child unless it was with her. She desperately wants a baby girl, and she had hoped Kevin would be the dad."

We're not sure if we believe that part. She and Jason Trawick seem very happy together, and come on, it's Kevin Federline. Who would want that back?

Seriously, Victoria Prince. What is the appeal? OMG check out that random, overweight, chain-smoking deadbeat slob with no job and four kids! HOT!

Some might say he went over the line, but others might contend that Jon Stewart was merely channeling Glenn Beck when he compared the growing size and reputation of Congress' health care bill to ... the Fox commentator's appendicitis attack.

Yes, you read that correctly.

Stewart approached Glenn Beck's appendix problem in the same bombastic fashion blowhard Beck uses to address evil, communist government health-care reform:
