Russell Armstrong's family is reacting to news that Taylor Armstrong has given her first interview since her estranged husband's suicide in August.

The interview, with ET, will air September 20.

In it, Taylor discusses photos she gave to the outlet -- photos of her with a black eye, allegedly the work of Russell.

Russell's sister, Laurie Kelsoe, said Taylor should leave the situation alone, calling her interview "completely inappropriate." She tells The New York Daily News:

"It would be one thing if he [Russell] was here to hash this out in court. But my brother is dead. ... Let his three children mourn. Let his mom and dad have a breather. Stop trying to make money."

No word yet on what Taylor was paid for the interview, but her Real Housewives co-stars are defending Taylor's choice. They argue that Taylor, 40, was left in a financial mess by Russell -- who was being sued at the time of his death and had declared bankruptcy in the past. Taylor and Russell have a daughter -- Kennedy, 5.

Michaele Salahi wasn't kidnapped, but she did run away from her husband for the guitarist of Journey -- and that has left Tareq Salahi confused and upset.

His attorney, David Silek, spoke to ABC's Good Morning America on Thursday, saying:

"Tareq is devastated but he is relieved to know that Michaele is safe. That was his first concern."

Mr. Salahi explained to GMA that he feared his wife was in danger after he received a phone call from her from a strange Oregon number Tuesday evening. He alerted authorities, fearing that the Real Housewives of D.C. star had been kidnapped.

Instead, he learned that Michaele had run off to be with Journey's Neal Schon in Memphis, where the band was performing Tuesday night. In an odd twist, just last week both Salahis attended a Journey concert, and Michaele even Tweeted the above picture of her backstage with Neal.

According to Silek, Mr. Salahi is still trying to wrap his head around the news. "He's so devastated there's not a goal other than trying to figure out what is going on at this time," the attorney explained. "If there's an opportunity for reconciliation, that's something they can and ought to explore."

Michaele and Neal reportedly dated in the past. She has been married to Tareq since 2003, while Schon has been married to his third wife Amber Kozan since 2001.

Simon Cowell had a smokin' hot time at The X Factor premiere with girlfriend Mezghan Hussainy despite rumors that the two had called off their engagement.

X17online caught up with the reality show's main man at the ArcLight Cinerama Dome in Los Angeles Wednesday night, and we asked him if he was still dating the 38-year-old makeup artist.

Simon looked confused, turning around and pointing down the red carpet towards Mezghan.

The question shouldn't have come as a big surprise, as last week Simon told Howard Stern: “I'm not sure [if we're still engaged]. I get embarrassed talking about things." After opening his admittedly big mouth, the 51-year-old said he wanted to keep his relationship private from here on out.

Reports have also surfaced that Mezghan has moved out of Simon's Beverly Hills mansion and into one of his nearby properties. "Yes, she is living here. She is here now," a member of the house staff told the Mirror.

Mezghan also did not wear her engagement ring to the premiere last night, as seen in the pic below. However, the two put on a united front throughout the evening.

Taylor Armstrong, 40, is speaking out for the first time since estranged husband Russell Armstrong's suicide a month ago.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star sat down with ET for an interview that will air Sept. 20. She shared photos of herself with black eye with the news outlet, and confirms that the injury was from abuse by Russell.

The show's investigation of Russell's history reveals that Russell's first wife filed a restraining order against him in 1997, saying that he slapped her while she was pregnant, kicked her and spit on her. Russell plead guilty to battery that year.

Taylor filed for divorce in July, saying at the time that her marriage was abusive. At the time, Russell admitted to pushing Taylor.
