LeAnn Rimes enters treatment and files a lawsuit

Singer claims she was cyber-bullied.

It's been a busy week for LeAnn Rimes. The singer, who just turned 30 earlier this month, entered treatment for what's described as "anxiety and stress." It's great that she's getting help, but what brought this on? What could possibly be so stress-inducing that it prompted Rimes to seek help from professionals?

The answer, it seems, is cyber bullying, sort of. Rimes is suing two women that she claims taped her private phone call and then put the entire conversation on Twitter, for the world to see. Wait, what?!

Rihanna gives revealing interview to Oprah Winfrey

Calls Chris Brown the great "love of her life."

Rihanna spilled it all to Oprah Winfrey. In a just-aired interview on Oprah's Next Chapter, the singer talked openly, and emotionally, about her relationship with R&B singer Chris Brown. She says she truly believes that Brown was the love of her life, and she still loves him -- despite everything that's happened.

Watching this interview was painful. I know Rihanna's a huge celebrity, and likely used to giving high profile interviews...but this one felt really raw. What happened to her was inexcusable, and she's been through a lot. She came across as very, very real. And I'm angry all over again at Chris Brown for beating her up. Furious.

'Big Bang Theory' star Mayim Bialik hurt in car accident

Former star of 'Blossom' might lose her thumb

The news this afternoon is just not good for actress Mayim Bialik. She's going to be OK, but she's been badly hurt after a car crash in Los Angeles earlier today. Apparently, the 36-year-old Bialik, who stars as Amy Farrah Fowler on the popular CBS sitcom The Big Bang Theory, suffered a major thumb injury in the accident, and she might lose it.

Hopefully Mayim will be alright, and doctors no doubt will do everything they can to save her thumb. I've been a fan of Bialik's since she first starred on Blossom all those years ago.

Who is Michael Phelps' girlfriend?

All-time Olympic swimming champ has a new love in his life

Michael Phelps is a freak of nature, but in the best kind of way. His astounding and inspirational displays of athletic prowess at the 2008, and now the 2012, Summer Olympic Games, has left all of us in awe. He is now the most decorated Olympian ever, with 22 medals (18 of them are gold). Now, it seems, he's got a gorgeous new girlfriend, as well!

Phelps is apparently dating a very attractive model. Here's the thing, though: She's not actually a new girlfriend. They've been seeing each other since early this year! Who is this mystery woman, and why are we just now finding out about her?
