In February of 2009 Rihanna was beaten at the hands of her then boyfriend Chris Brown which was apparent in a police picture seen around the world.

In September of 2009 Chris Brown broke his silence and appeared on CNN’s Larry King Live.  Up until now, Rihanna has not spoken about the incident but will change all that on Thursday when she appears on Good Morning America with a taped interview and again on a TV Special on 20/20 Friday night.  She says of the assault:

“This happened to me. It can happen to anyone.”

It was difficult for her to come to grips with it all because:

“He was definitely my first big love.”

Rihanna is seen here in Manhattan last night.  Her new album, Rated R is being released later this month.

It’s early.  I’m having computer problems and I’ve not had my coffee quota so maybe these pictures aren’t even as bizarre as they seem.

I don’t quite know what to make of Lady GaGa’s outfit.  Like I ever do.  And Betsey Johnson is keen on showing her ass (I only included one such picture but trust me there were more).  But bravo to her considering the woman just turned 67!  Betsey does not look or act 67 and doesn’t look like she’s had any ‘work’ done.  So why not show your ass?  I’m sure at her age I’ll be showing off my ass too, but I won’t be in my right mind and I’ll probably be at the grocery checkout when I do so.

Agyness Deyn does not look at any cameras while her picture is being taken but  perhaps that’s because of the weight of her eyelashes and not that she’s feeling awkward and shy.  I don’t know.

These ladies are seen at the 13th Annual ACE Awards in New York last night where Lady GaGa received an award for her contribution to style.  *Insert joke here*.  Also attending:  Molly Sims, Diane Von Furstenberg, Chrisitan Siriano, and Hillary Rhoda. 

Molly Sims and Hillary Rhoda must feel really out of place at this event.
