“The most overwhelming part of meeting someone that you already felt you had such a deep and old connection with is that your feelings are greater than the time you’ve had to actually be with one another. Now we’ve had the physical time together. “The love he has for me makes me a better person by giving me the courage to take risks. I can fail and have someone who loves me just the same. I never knew it was quite possible.”

Last night Glamour’s Women of the Year Awards were held in New York and Rihanna took home top honours:  Woman of the Year.  Iman presented the award to her by saying how inspired she was by the young singer:

“Now I am even more impressed with her dignity and courage,”

Rihanna:

“It means a lot, because I’m a woman and I represent a lot of things for women, and part of that is being strong and being confident and being comfortable with who you are. And, all the women on the list this year happen to have all those qualities, so it’s an honour to be the Woman of the Year amongst all those great women.”

She also talked about what her interview with Diane Sawyer did for her:

“it was like a weight lifted off my chest and now I don’t have to talk about it anymore. I can talk about my music, things that I love”

Twilight hunkster, Robert Pattinson tells Britain’s Sunday Times magazine that he can’t live up to the pedestal millions of people have put him on:

“It worries me because the whole Twilight thing keeps getting bigger and bigger, and now it’s so big that even my own ego can’t cope with it,” “A certain amount of success you can mentally deal with, but there’s a point where you think, ‘Jesus Christ, what is this? I’m not even that great!’ “

And despite all the adoration, he has no plans to clean up:

“I just wanted to make an American film, and I wanted it to be relatively good and to be good in it. I have never pushed to do anything - as soon as you start going to the gym every day and try to look like a movie star, you’re going down a worrisome track.”  ”Being an English guy you get more breaks,” “You’re allowed to look a little worse. It’s that thing about English teeth. Actually, Canadian teeth are pretty bad.”

Um, dude, Canadian teeth are not bad!!  Wtf?? Where is that coming from?
