So rather than all the roller coaster metaphors we could use here, we'll just say Rihanna looked liked she was having a hell of a good time at Magic Mountain today!

But then who wouldn't be excited, just having signed on the dotted line for a gorgeous new mansion!

Everything seems to be going right for Ri right now, contrary to how things are going for Chris Brown ...

Chris Brown released a statement today following media attention on his interview with Larry King which will air on CNN this Wednesday.

X17online and others picked up on an excerpt from the interview in which Brown said he "can't believe" he assaulted Rihanna and today's statement clarifies what Chris claims he intended to say:

"There have been reports on the internet that I didn’t remember what happened that night with Rihanna. I want to try and set things straight.

That 30 seconds of the interview they used of me was taken from a one hour interview during which that same question was asked something like 4 or 5 times -- and when you look at the entire interview you will see it is not representative of what I said.

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.'

Of course I remember what happened. Several times during the interview, my mother said that I came to her right afterward and told her everything. But it was and still is a blur. And yes, I still can’t believe it happened because it is not me or who I am or is what happened like anything I have ever done before.

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. 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."

But which pair looks better on her?

Lindsay Lohan was spotted wearing a sexy pair of shades while running errands over the weekend, and then put on some black-rimmed glasses to watch Sam spin at Crown Bar Sunday night...

Either way, she's no four-eyes!

First of all, damn! When did Kourtney Kardashian suddenly get so huge? That baby is comin' ASAP!

Second of all, Kim K. (while out at Mr. Chow last night with her sis) looks gorge in these colors - summer is over, here comes autumn!

And lastly, where's Khloe?

Forget about those make-out scenes with her Gossip Girl co-star Penn - Disney sweetheart Hilary Duff looks perfectly happy with her real-life beau Mike Comrie! And they're def cute together... right?

Plus, this hot weather gave Hil a chance to show off her fine figure:

No comment.

This comes as no surprise after reading Travis Barker's thoughts on the death of his friend...

Blink-182 posted on their MySpace blog today that the band "will not be playing tonight in Saratoga, NY." Why? "Due to the circumstances surrounding the unfortunate and untimely passing of our dear friend Adam 'DJ AM' Goldstein."

Poor Adam. He had so many people who cared about him! You wonder why such a tragedy has to happen.

RIP.

Does Kristin Cavallari have nothing better to do but go to the hair salon every day? You have great hair, K, we get it! It's not like you're Lindsay Lohan and your hair ACTUALLY needs special treatment 24/7.

Or maybe she just wants to be photographed?

Spotted: Jennifer Garner, along with her old Alias co-star slash BFF Victor Garber, take little V to the market on Sunday...

They're like one big happy family! You know, minus Ben Affleck, of course. But it's not like he's ever around, right?

Some stars go under the knife and resort to drinking strange mixtures to look great (maple syrup, lemon juice, water and cayenne pepper, anyone?), but thankfully Hayden Panettiere likes to do things the healthy and normal way.

We caught the Heroes hottie and her trainer going for a hike in Runyon today, and we're not sure if she's working up a sweat for her honey Harry Morton or for a new film role, but she was looking super sexy in her little spandex getup! And speaking of Harry, when photogs asked her about her new lover boy, she was all smiles and she didn't deny that the two were an item! Hmmm...so when will we see Harry and Hayden going for a hike?

Er, Haymort? Harden? What would you call them?

...but why? Everyone from Travis Barker and Mandy Moore to Paris Hilton and John Mayer have commented.

Not even a Tweet, Nicole? That being said, this must be very difficult news for her to bear right now, being so close to giving birth and all. Probably it's best for Nic to just rest and relax.

We've said it before and we'll say it again - they WERE the most adorable couple! Check out our gallery below of Nicole and DJ AM back in the day...

Little Miss Miley, Starbucks in hand, made her way to a hair salon in Studio City for a trim and came out looking like a million bucks!

Wait, maybe she's worth a billion these days? Either way, the girl looks fab! And guess who was waiting for her outside?

JUSTIN!!! Whoa, does this mean they're back together?

Alessandra Ambrosio took her adorable daughter Anja and her baby daddy out for a little play time at the Malibu Country Mart over the weekend.

Alessandra is one hard-working mama, the VS Angel just returned from FashionFest in Mexico City, and next month she travels to New York to strut her stuff on the Victoria's Secret runway!

If Anja only grows up to be half as beautiful as her mom, she'll be stunning!

Kate Gosselin spent some quality time with her kids over the weekend, and we can't even begin to imagine how exhausted she was at the end of the day! Taking care of one or two kids is difficult enough, but eight little ones plus two dogs? Yikes!

No wonder Lindsay Lohan was in such a good mood last night!

Samantha Ronson spun at Crown Bar last night (hmm...wonder why she wasn't at XIV?), and while she didn't leave with Lindsay, it looks like the ladies had a good time together when they were there! And you KNOW Lindsay snuck into Sam's pad for some snuggle time after...the only question is...how much longer will Sam be staying there?

We caught up with Superman, Shaquille O'Neal, on vacay in LA, and when we asked the gentle giant what his thoughts were on AM's sudden death, he simply said "Rest in peace, man," and gave his condolences to the family.

Shaq's been living it up here over the past few days, even getting a ticket last week for talking to fans outside of a night club while he promotes his new show "Shaq Vs."

AnnaLynne and Angel McCord were in Las Vegas over the weekend, and the sexy starlets hung out at Wet Republic at the MGM Grand. While Angel was busy making out with her sexy fiance, Charlize AnnaLynne took the time to show off her perfect figure in a sexy hot pink monokini.

And despite reports to the contrary, Annalynne did NOT receive a special visit from Kellan Lutz in Vegas this weekend. Kellan was busy shooting Eclipse in Vancouver, and the only guy lucky enough to even get near the McCords was Angel's fiance Rob!

But bad news, girls, a source confirms exclusively to X17online that even though Annalynne and Kellan were apart this weekend, they are still together. In fact, it seems the sexiest young couple in Hollywood never even broke up!

Now that Idol auditions are well underway, the chance that Paula will return is getting slimmer and slimmer. But Paula hasn't had any shortage of post-Idol offers, and she recently revealed to TV Guide that she's mulling over the idea of getting her own talk show.

"I definitely want to do a talk show because it would be different," she said, adding that she'd be herself on the show.

"It would be a lot of fun variety with a ton of unexpected stuff and tributes to everyday people getting their big chance," Abdul added.

Sounds like it's already in the works! Tyra may have to take off her wig AND her makeup if she wants to keep on top once Paula enters the field!

X17online has the exclusive first shots of Rihanna's new multi-million dollar dream home, and we're also the first to give you all the details on this drool-worthy estate!

While Chris Brown is still reeling from the fallout of his actions against the R&B princess, she's moving on and moving on up...literally! After searching high and low for her new home, it looks like Rihanna finally found the perfect pad on her own private lane in Beverly Hills.

X17online scoured the web for the deets on Ri's new nest, and these are just some of the features that her stunning $9.995 million, 10,000+ square foot dream mansion boasts:

• 8 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms and impressive 30 foot ceilings
• A gated & private knoll with spectacular 270 degree views of the city
• A sauna and steam room, a library, a gourmet kitchen with state of the art appliances and a home theater
• A pool and spa, along with massive decks & balconies galore

Such a gorgeous home for such a gorgeous girl! We're super jealous!

Instead of rocking out with the now-defunct Oasis in Milan, Liam let it all hang out in nearby Cernobbio with his bandmate.

He doesn't seem the least bit concerned that his brother pulled the plug on their tour at the last minute! Is that because they're probably going to get back together and break up again a million more times?

Yummy!

Taylor Lautner sat down with Teen Vogue to chat about Twilight, girlfriends and fame, and we're happy to report that he also stuck around for a sexy photo shoot! So what's it like being one of the biggest teen heartthrobs around these days?

"There are twelve cars that camp outside my house," Taylor says, when asked about the paparazzi. "You can't ever really get used to it, because it's not normal to have people snapping pictures of everything you do. You just have to try not to let it affect you."

Though Taylor wouldn't comment on reported summer fling Selena Gomez (he simply said, "She's a great girl"), he did chuckle when the reporter asked him if he was involved in a love triangle with Robsten. "It's crazy," he said, "but the fans help. They're a big part of the motivation."

Uh huh! You're such a tease, Taylor...and that's why we love you!

Hey, she said it, not me!

In the latest issue of Cosmo, the woman who has no secrets (by now, anyway) revealed her thoughts on commitment, dating "boys", and how her vagina is all-powerful.

She tells the mag, "Women hold the power because we have the vaginas. If you're in a heterosexual relationship and you're a female, you win." Throw out your copies of He's Just Not That Into You, ladies. The Fox has spoken.

She also says that she has no problem committing to boyfriend Brian Austin Green...not even if a Brad Pitt-type suddenly appeared to tempt her Angelina-ish mind.

"I can flip on a switch in my brain, and even if the next Brad Pitt is standing next to me, I won't look at him," says Megs. "But I can also turn that switch off, and then I collect attractive boys."

And yes, she calls them "boys", no matter what their age. "I never call them guys. I always called them boys," Megan explained. "Maybe it's a superiority complex -- my needing to keep them down."

I have a feeling there are lots of guys who wouldn't mind being kept down by Megan!

Kate Hudson stepped out on a Sunday night in New York, wearing a sexy, sheer tee - but she wasn't getting sexed up for her man, she hit the town with a group of girlfriends!

A-Rod, whose car was apparently parked near Kate's apartment, wasn't along for the cab ride. Hmmm, leaving your man at home to party in a sexy outfit with the girls? Did A-Rod strike out already?
