Rihanna On Chris Brown: "I Lost My Best Friend"

Posted on Fri Aug 10th, 2012 1:00pm PDT       By X17 Staff




Heartbreak is never easy!

Rihanna recently sat down with Oprah Winfrey for an interview on Oprah's Next Chapter , and the talk show queen asked the pop star all the hard questions!

When O brought up the "Rude Boy" singer's past relationship with Chris Brown, the Grammy winner got emotional and confessed, "It was embarassing. It was humiliating. I lost my best friend."

After splitting with the R&B star, the 24-year-old Barbadian beauty still had lingering feelings over the unfortunate turn of events. "I was resentful. I held a grudge. I was dark," she admitted.

The controversial bad girl was quite the opposite of what the OWN founder expected. "I thought she would have been kind of a bad-ass kind of a rocker hard-edge woman - nothing could have been farther from the truth," Miss Winfrey revealed.

We wonder what CB's current girlfriend Karrueche Tran thinks of this public confession?

Fan Drops Lawsuit Against Johnny Depp

Posted on Fri Aug 10th, 2012 12:10pm PDT       By X17 Staff

230depp080612_01_X17.jpgA lawsuit filed against Johnny Depp by a fan who claimed she was roughed up by his security detail at an Iggy Pop concert in LA last year has been dropped.

LA Superior Court judge Michael Johnson ruled that the 52-year-old woman — who sued as “Jane Doe” to protect her identity — will have to reveal her name if she wants to pursue her “complaint alleges physical battery,” but not “allegations concerning sexual activity or private conduct that courts have recognized as exceptional [which would allow her to remain anonymous],” according to court papers.

The disabled woman claimed Depp’s entourage and Live Nation security handcuffed her, ripped away her cellphone and dragged her, “exposing her buttocks” as she tried to get to her seat in a VIP section at the Hollywood Palladium.

The judge gave her 20 days to disclose her name in the case, or it will be dropped.

X17 EXCLUSIVE - Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie NOT Marrying This Weekend

We sent an X17 photographer all the way down to the south of France -- it's pretty much in the middle of nowhere -- to check out Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's chateau Miraval to see just what's going on and ... drumroll, please ... there's NOTHING going on!

French media were reporting Thursday that the couple was set to wed tomorrow, Saturday, Aug 11, but X17online can tell you, the wedding isn't on, just yet.

Our photographer says:

    "There are NO security guards, NO workers, NO party planners -- NOTHING at the property. As I drove around, checking out the scene from the street below the private hillside, I saw nothing out of the ordinary. It was quiet, just like the sleepy village of Correns next to it. Business as usual at Chateau Brangelina."


We'll have the photos and video to prove it, coming up later. Our photographer's in a helicopter over the property now!
