Rihanna wins Woman of the Year award

Rihanna1110.jpg Glamour magazine has named Rihanna one of their Woman of the Year for 2009. The "Russian Roulette" singer was praised for her "courage and honesty" in the aftermath of her beating at the hands of then-boyfriend Chris Brown, during a star-studded ceremony in New York City on November 9. She dedicated the award to the strong female role models in her family. "I love being a part of a night where we're celebrating woman and such strong women," Rihanna said during her acceptance speech, adding: "I really look up to my gran-gran and my mom. They are my two women of the year. They've shown me what strong woman can accomplish and achieve. Without their unconditional love and guidance, I wouldn't be here, and I hope I can be an example to young girls and women today."

Stars Without Makeup!
If you long to see your favorite stars without makeup, here’s your chance!

For some moms, the decision to have a second baby is a no-brainer. For Kendra Wilkinson, who welcomed her first child with husband Hank Baskett two years ago, the choice isn’t quite so simple. After struggling with postpartum depression following Hank Jr.’s birth in December 2009, the reality star reveals she’s terrified to relive the intense pain and sadness she experienced. “I was living under a gray cloud and had lost who I was,” Kendra, 26, tells In Touch in an exclusive interview.

Anne Hathaway Haunted By Her Ex
Anne Hathaway should be on top of the world: She’s planning her wedding to fiancé Adam Shulman and just finished shooting the big-screen version of the beloved musical Les Misérables. But dining with pals on May 21, the 29-year old actress looked pretty miserable herself. “Anne didn’t touch her food,” says an onlooker. “She seemed really upset.” Four days later, her con man ex, Raffaello Follieri, 34, made headlines when he was released from prison and immediately deported to his native Italy.
