Even if she had never met Chris Brown, Rihanna knew how domestic abuse could turn into a vicious cycle.

"I always anticipated it happening. At night I wouldn't want to sleep, because I was too afraid it would happen," the singer said in the portion of her ABC News interview that aired on 20/20 tonight, referring to her father hitting her mother when she was a child growing up in Barbados.

"She never went to the hospital, but he broke her nose.," Rihanna continued. "She would never go to the hospital...Domestic violence is not somebody that people want anbody to know, so she would just hide it in the house. I always said to myself, 'I'm never going to date somebody like my dad, never.'

"I always said that."

And yet she not only dated someone who hit her, she went back to him after the fact.

ABC snagged Rihanna, leaving MTV... with Chris Brown.

But the network and the fallen R&B star made the most of the opportunity tonight with a half-hour special that gave Brown a chance to reflect even more upon his endlessly reflected-upon crime.

Brown's position has been to not discuss what exactly happened the night he assaulted his then-girlfriend, turning him into a pariah before the sun had risen the next day.

But Rihanna did go into detail about the attack, however, and MTV gave Brown the opportunity to respond to what Rihanna was dishing out to Diane Sawyer.

"While I respect Rihanna's right to discuss the specific events of February 8th, I maintain my position that all of the details should remain a private matter between us," he said in a statement to MTV after his initial sit-down.

Yeah, probably shouldn't have let the police get involved then...

Edward Cullen? All kinds of melodramatic romantic. Robert Pattinson? Not so much, at least, according to Robert Pattinson.

"I really haven't done that many romantic things in my life...I mean, I've watched Titanic," he said today at a press conference promoting New Moon, the second part in, like, only the most important movie series like ever. Another shocking reveal: The actor-musician, who even had a song on the Twilight soundtrack, has never serenaded anyone.

"Oh no. You need to have so much balls to do that, Jesus Christ," he said. "I put a flower on someone's locker when I was 15."

What else did Pattz reveal? Oh, so much...

Look who's coming around after all.

Joe Jackson, who previously said that he spends most of his time in Las Vegas and that his estranged wife, Katherine, would handle the raising of Michael Jackson's children, is now petitioning the estate for his own monthly stipend.

Saying he has no steady source of income aside from $1,700 a month from Social Security, Jackson stated in court documents that he had relied on his son for support up until the King of Pop's death. Michael gave money to his mom, which she in turn, acting as an agreed-upon go-between, gave to Joe.

Michael did not provide for Joe in his will, rather splitting his estate among his mother, children and various charities.

But that doesn't mean the King of Pop's estate is legally prohibited from providing for Joe, his lawyers insist.

Attention all Robsten tongue-waggers: Gossip away! Kristen Stewart is over it! Totally and completely over it!

Much hay has been made in recent days about K.Stew's tumultuous relationship with the tabloids and her fierce words for gossips.

But at a press conference today in Los Angeles promoting The Twilight Saga: New Moon, Stewart indicated she'd finally found a way to cope.

"The whole rumor, tabloid stuff, it's so obviously false," she said, holding forth solo before a press mob, enthused and energetic and seemingly very happy about the whole thing.

"I became a part of a show, a ridiculous show, with false realism, like a soap opera, but it doesn't bother me. I don't take it personally, because I have gotten so much experience with this, it's gotten easier."

In fact, K.Stew now insists she gets it, how fans can get carried away, too.

"I totally understand that people have a hard time seeing us outside of our characters," she said, admitting she's very also very attached to hers, the lovestruck Bella Swan.

"I'm very protective of her. I feel a shared ownership, its weird," she said. "Maybe I am an immature girl as well; I really feel like if you think you need to do it, you need to do it, and 'it' can be anything. Be extreme. Go for it. I know this is a movie about immortality and mortality, but you only live once."

It ain't out till Tuesday, but we got it right here.

The little earthquake you're feeling is the rumblings of Midwinter Graces, Tori Amos' 11th studio album and her first seasonal compilation.

Get primed for the winter holidays (already?!) with tunes twisted Tori-style, including "What Child, Nowell," "Harps of Gold," "Snow Angel" and "Our New Year."

Christmas with an edge, we're calling it.

The 12-track (or more, if you pop for the bonus edition) album doesn't drop until Nov. 10, but we've got every lush chord and wistful lyric right after the jump.

Hey, we've got an opening monologue for Taylor Swift.

"Hi, I'm Taylor Swift, as you know," the teen titan could start off with on tomorrow's Saturday Night Live. "And I'd like to thank Kanye West for helping you know that."

OK, so the lines aren't funny. But they are true.

The SNL gig—as host and musical guest? The honor of being the first female country performer to pull that desirable double duty since Dolly Parton more than 20 years ago? The album that's been out forever and is back climbing the charts?

Yup, somebody owes Mr. West a muffin basket.

The Hollywood Burglary Bunch apparently has no problems eating its own.

As we previously reported, investigators believe that the ringmaster was one Rachel Lee, and now search warrants obtained Friday by E! News offer yet more details into the case against her.

Lee was seemingly sold out by her alleged partner-in-crime, Nicholas Prugo, who is quoted in the documents saying she orchestrated hits on such stars as Orlando Bloom, Audrina Patridge and Brian Austin Green.

Prugo told detectives that Lee chose their celebrity targets, while he would gather information and pictures on the Internet. He also told investigators she was primarily after the designer wardrobes of celebs she “admired.”

Prugo also gave investigators detailed desriptions of their methods and loot. For example, he said that he and Lee bagged between $200,000 and $300,00 of Chanel loot from Rachel Bilson’s home and entered Paris Hilton’s home three teams, taking cash, narcotics and personal effects.

Prugo said he was nervous about commiting the last burglary, at Lindsay Lohan's home, because they had already been captured on surveillance footage.

“You’re already here,” she allegedly told Prugo. “You might as well come inside and get something for yourself.”
