Rihanna And CoCo Halloween Sandwich

halloween brings out some weird sh%t, but these pictures of Rihanna with Ice T’s big assed woman CoCo are just odd. I didn’t say I didn’t like them, I just think they make for a strange pair. That being said, I wouldn’t turn up an opportunity to be the meat in their sexy halloween sandwich. I’ll wear a snorkel so as not to suffocate. Safety first.

Lawyer: Lindsay Lohan Not Seeking Restraining Order Against Dad; Dina Claims Sister Ali Will

Lindsay Lohan is not seeking a restraining order against her father, a lawyer for the actress told Access Hollywood.

Lindsay’s attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, told Access on Monday that reports the star is filing a cease and desist letter or a restraining order against her dad, Michael Lohan, are “not true.”

“Lindsay has never contacted her attorney Shawn Chapman Holley about filing a restraining order against her father,” the lawyer said in a statement.

As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, on Friday, Lindsay hit her Twitter account to share her feelings over her father, who has been speaking out in the press, including making allegations his daughter has a problem with prescription pill use to Access Hollywood’s Maria Menounos.

“My father is a lunatic&doesn’t even deserve such a title since he’s never been around in my life other than when he’d threaten me&my family,” she wrote on Friday.

Lindsay added that Michael’s recent actions have made her younger sister, Ali, 15, cry.

“He should be where he has always put himself after verbally abusing and physically abusing people all my life-behind bars. Its so sad to get a phone call from my baby sister just now asking, ‘why is daddy doing this?’ Through tears,” she wrote.

“He’s crossed the lines&hurt me&my family 4 the last time… So much for having a ‘dad’….. I’m going to spend some time with the ones that love me&i love now,” she added.

But while Lindsay does not have and is not currently planning to seek a restraining order against her dad, Dina Lohan, Lindsay’s mom, told Billy Bush for Access Hollywood and “The Billy Bush Show,” on Monday that Ali is going to seek one today against her father.

In addition, Dina told Billy that Michael may be about to release recordings he told Access Hollywood about last week against her wishes and those of their daughter, Lindsay.

Lindsay is heard hysterically crying out for help in the recordings, which Access Hollywood has heard. Dina can also be heard on the tapes expressing her concern that she doesn’t want Lindsay to go down a path similar to Heath Ledger.

Rihanna: Attack At Hands Of Chris Brown Turned Me Into ‘Britney Spears’

Rihanna has been no stranger to the spotlight – even before her February assault at the hands of then-boyfriend Chris Brown.

But Rihanna said the level of media attention she received in the wake of the attack was something she never saw coming.

“It has taught me so much. I felt like I went to sleep as Rihanna and woke up as Britney Spears. That was the level of media chaos that happened the next day. It was like, what, there are helicopters circling my house? There are 100 people in my cul-de-sac? What do you mean, I can’t go back home?” the songstress reveals in a candid new interview in the new issue of Glamour magazine.

And while the magazine hails her as one of their 2009 Women of the Year on the cover of the December issue, Rihanna said she couldn’t have survived the past year without the help of those closest to her.

“My friends and family have been extremely supportive, and everyone has been there for me,” she continued. “But at some point you are there alone. It’s a lonely place to be—no one can understand.”

In the wake of the February assault, Rihanna said one of the toughest things to cope with was the photo of her beaten and bruised being leaked to the public.

“It was humiliating; that is not a photo you would show to anybody,” she told Glamour. “I felt completely taken advantage of. I felt like people were making it into a fun topic on the Internet, and it’s my life. I was disappointed, especially when I found out the photo was [supposedly leaked by] two women.”

But now, more than eight months removed from the incident, Rihanna – who will give her first TV interview since the attack on Thursday on ABC’s “Good Morning America” — said she has learned some valuable life lessons from the ordeal – lessons she hopes to pass on to her fans.

“I’m stronger, wiser and more aware. You don’t realize how much your decisions affect people you don’t even know, like fans,” she explained. “My story was broadcast all over the world for people to see, and they have followed every step of my recovery. The positive thing that has come out of my situation is that people can learn from that. I want to give as much insight as I can to young women, because I feel like I represent a voice that really isn’t heard. Now I can help speak for those women.”

And most importantly, Rihanna – whose new album “Rated R” will be released later this month – said she hopes the events that surrounded her life this year will serve as a message to women across the globe.

“Domestic violence is a big secret. No kid goes around and lets people know their parents fight. Teenage girls can’t tell their parents that their boyfriend beat them up. You don’t dare let your neighbor know that you fight. It’s one of the things we [women] will hide, because it’s embarrassing,” she said. “My story was broadcast all over the world for people to see, and they have followed every step of my recovery. The positive thing that has come out of my situation is that people can learn from that. I want to give as much insight as I can to young women, because I feel like I represent a voice that really isn’t heard. Now I can help speak for those women.”

Court Sides With Paris Hilton In Hallmark Fight

an appeals court has ruled that Paris Hilton can continue pursuing a lawsuit against Hallmark Cards Inc. over the use of her picture and catch phrase “That’s hot” on a greeting card.

Hilton sued the company in 2007 after it began selling without her permission birthday cards of a cartoon of a waitress serving a plate of food to a patron. A photo of Hilton’s face was pasted on the cartoon’s body.

Hilton alleges that the card ripped off her appearance as a waitress in an episode of her reality television show “The Simple Life.”

The 9th U.S. District Court of Appeals on Monday upheld a lower court’s ruling allowing the bulk of Hilton’s lawsuit. Hallmark has defended the card as parody, which is normally protected under fair-use law.

Chris Brown Issues Statement Over CNN Interview: ‘Of Course I Remember What Happened’

Chris Brown has issued a statement explaining that an advance clip of his interview with Larry King, set to air on Wednesday night on CNN, has been taken out of context, and, in fact, he does remember the incident with Rihanna that led to him pleading guilty to assault.

On Monday, CNN released clips, which show the “Larry King Live” host asking Brown, “Do you remember doing it?” referring to the beating of his then-girlfriend Rihanna in the early hours of February 8. Brown is heard in the clip replying, “No.”

But in a statement issued to People on Monday, the singer said during the interview with King, which was attended by his attorney, Mark Geragos, and his mother, Joyce Hawkins, “That question was asked something like four or five times.”

“When you look at the entire interview you will see it is not representative of what I said,” Brown said in his statement to the mag regarding his “no” answer.

“The first four times – or how ever many times it was – I gave the same answer – which was that I didn’t think it was appropriate for me to talk about what happened that night. I said it was not right for me and it really wasn’t fair to Rihanna. The fifth time – or whatever it was – I just misspoke. I was asked, ‘Do you remember doing it?’ and I said, ‘No,’” Brown’s statement continued.

Brown added that he does indeed remember the incident that sent Rihanna to the hospital; however, he also referred to it as “a blur.”

“Of course, I remember what happened. Several times during the interview, my mother said that I came to her right afterwards and told her everything. But it was and still is a blur,” his statement continued. “And yes, I still can’t believe it happened because it is not me or who I am.”

Brown added that he continues to live with remorse over the incident.

“As I have said several times previously, I am ashamed of and sorry for what happened that night and I wish I could relive that moment and change things, but I can’t. I take full responsibility for my actions,” his statement concluded. “ What I have to do now is to prove to the world that this was an isolated incident and that is not who I am and I intend to do so by my behavior now and in the future.”

----------

A Los Angeles Superior Court Judge is expected to sentence Chris Brown today over his assault of Rihanna.

The singer is scheduled to appear in court today at 2 PM, where the final sentencing will be handed down related to charges stemming from a February 8 incident where he assaulted his then-girlfriend, Rihanna. The hearing was initially scheduled for August 27, but lawyers for Brown requested that it be held today.

Stay logged on to AccessHollywood.com today, as we’ll be present at today’s sentencing to bring you updates as they happen.

As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Brown struck a plea deal with prosecutors. Under the deal, the singer pleaded guilty to one felony assault charge. His plea deal included five years of probation, enrollment in a domestic violence counseling program and 180 days in a labor program in his home state of Virginia.

During Brown’s last court appearance on August 5, Judge Patricia M. Schnegg stressed that she did not want the labor program to be community service, but actual labor. The parties agreed that they needed more time to figure out the labor portion of the plea deal and, as a result, sentencing was postponed until today.

In July, the 20-year-old finally spoke out for the first time about the incident with Rihanna, apologizing for his actions.

“Since February, my attorney has advised me not to speak out, even though ever since the incident I wanted to publicly express my deepest regret and accept full responsibility,” the singer said in a two-minute clip posted on his official YouTube channel. “Although I will do some interviews and answer some questions in the future, I felt that it was time that you heard directly from me that I am sorry.”

Brown appears to have also addressed the events of February 8 in his new song, “Changed Man.”
