Chris Brown is getting some support from The National Coalition for Men. They're saying that domestic violence is not acceptable on either side and that Rihanna needs to fess up to HER part in the whole situation! Here's the release that came out about the support of The National Coalition for Men.

LOS ANGELES/EWORLDWIRE/Nov. 5, 2009 ? Pop singer Rihanna recently made a widely publicized statement to Glamour Magazine that she wants to ?shed light on the reality of domestic violence.? The National Coalition For Men (NCFM) calls on Rihanna to discuss her own reported violence against Brown as well if she wants to shed light on the problem honestly.

According to court records and other sources, Rihanna struck Brown in the face ?numerous times? before Brown assaulted her (?http://news.ninemsn.com.au/entertainment/768865/rihanna-hit-chris-brow??). NCFM purports although that would not justify his more severe assault, her violence should not be ignored, and if she does not ?woman up? to it then her message will be the usual one-sided double standards that leave female perpetration covered up.

The saying, ?There is no excuse for domestic violence,? applies to both sexes. Female violence in relationships is not rare but is often hypocritically deemed acceptable or humorous, such as in the film, Sideways. It is part of the cycle of domestic violence, which cannot be stopped without addressing the problem honestly. Children are damaged just by witnessing domestic violence, regardless of its severity.

A 32-nation study by the University of New Hampshire found women are as violent and as controlling as men in relationships worldwide (?http://www.unh.edu/news/cj_nr/2006/may/em_060519male.cfm?type=n?,
?http://pubpages.unh.edu/~mas2/ID41E2.pdf?).

A major study funded by the Centers for Disease Control found one-fourth of heterosexual relationships had violence and: ?half (49.7%) of those were reciprocally violent. In nonreciprocally violent relationships, women were the perpetrators in more than 70% of the cases.? (?http://www.ajph.org/cgi/content/abstract/97/5/941?)

The same study also found ?while injury was more likely when violence was perpetrated by men, in relationships with reciprocal violence it was the men who were injured more often (25% of the time) than were women (20% of the time).? (?http://pn.psychiatryonline.org/cgi/content/full/42/15/31-a?)

Over 200 studies now confirm the same thing, that ?women are as physically aggressive, or more aggressive, than men in their relationships with their spouses or male partners,? as California State University Professor Martin Fiebert shows in his online bibliography at ?http://www.csulb.edu/~mfiebert/assault.htm?. This data is more reliable than criminal justice data because men are less likely to report the violence or to respond positively to crime surveys because society still does not consider female violence as much of a crime.

If Rihanna sincerely wants to raise awareness about domestic violence, NCFM calls on her to be forthcoming about her own violence and to address the problem honestly.

Kim Kardashian posted this picture which supposedly shows the black eye she got in a boxing match! Sorry, but I don't see it! Here are the details on the celebrity boxing match...

KIM KARDASHIAN got beat up Tuesday night. But it was inside a boxing ring . . . and it was for charity. The Kardashians did some charity boxing at the Commerce Casino in Commerce, California. People actually bid for the opportunity to fight various members of the family. The event raised $11,000 for the Dream Foundation. (--They grant wishes for adults with life-threatening illnesses.)

In the end, only three of them ended up fighting. Kim went down in, quote, "a flurry of blows", according to "People" magazine. --She later said, quote, "This boxing match was crazy! Lots of action. I got banged up a bit but it was all for a good cause."

Meanwhile, her brother ROB ended up in the HOSPITAL with a concussion. Kim says that Rob's headgear fell off, and when he put down his hands to fix it, the other guy CLOCKED him. She says, quote, "This guy just got really down and dirty!" Kim also claims that Rob's opponent was 25 pounds heavier than him . . . even though they were assured by the charity that opponents would be within five pounds of each other. Kim's stepdad, BRUCE JENNER, was able to turn things around and get a victory against his opponent. But KHLOE backed out of HER fight after seeing Kim take a beating. And then the state boxing commission called off a scheduled event featuring KOURTNEY'S baby-daddy, Scott Disick.

Chris Brown is doing ANOTHER interview...on the same night Rihanna's 20/20 interview is airing! His will be on MTV with Sway and personally, I think he needs to stop doing these interviews because he is NOT helping himself. I don't know if he's uncomfortable, over the whole thing, or just doesn't know how to present himself well, but the more I see him, the more I wish he would just stop!

Victoria's Secret has released the identities of their new angels! Here's more info on a special event hosted by Heidi Klum!

It?s official: Heidi Klum is returning to the runway just 6 weeks after giving birth to baby Lou Samuel ? as host of the annual Victoria?s Secret fashion show on Nov. 19. ?Heidi is superwoman. She had a baby a few weeks ago and she is hosting the most high profile fashion show in the world,? Ed Razek, President and Chief Marketing Officer of VS tells PEOPLE exclusively. ?Victoria?s Secret is thrilled to have her back. There is no one like her.? Klum played coy about preparing for the show, which airs Dec. 1 at 10pm on CBS, saying she planned ?to take it easy and see what happens,? after delivering Lou, her daughter with Seal ? and her fourth child ? last month. Still, her fellow Angels aren?t surprised to see Heidi back to work. ?She can do it all,? says fellow Angel (and new mom) Alessandra Ambrosio. ?She?s a great mom and she?s got so much going on. She?s an inspiration.? We can?t wait to see Heidi and all of the Angels, including Marisa Miller in this year?s diamond bra, work the runway. Victoria's Secret is also hosting a Model Search!

Rihanna is not only doing Good Morning America and 20/20 this week, she?s also the December cover girl for Glamour magazine, and I do have a preview of what she?s talking about. About her fame, she says, "I went to sleep as Rihanna and woke up as BRITNEY SPEARS. That was the level of media chaos that happened the next day." She also reveals that she was shocked when the photo of her bruised and battered face was leaked online. She says, "It was humiliating: that is not a photo you would show to anybody. 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." She does say that her ordeal has a positive side to saying, "My story was broadcast all over the world for people to see. They have followed every step of my recovery...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." She does say that she put all her feelings out in her music and she?s feeling super fearless! As far as a new relationship, she says, "I want to find love in the next 10 years -- that'll be pretty annoying if I'm 31 and still have never been in love." Rihanna will be on Good Morning America tomorrow & Friday and Friday night on 20/20. In a new promo for the interview Rihanna says about Chris, "The more in love we became, the more dangerous we became for each other."
