Rihanna graces the December cover of Glamour…

Singer, Rihanna looks absolutely stunting on the December cover of Glamour magazine. After a year surrounded by controversy, this Barbados born beauty is back on top. In the article, she talks about her start, how it is working with Jay-Z and her incident with Chris Brown.

In the article, Rihanna talks about the photo of her bruised face being leaked after being assaulted by Chris Brown:

“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. I was disappointed, especially when I found out the photo was [supposedly leaked by] two women.”

It is wonderful to see Rihanna back on her feet after the stressful year she has had.  She has been diligently working on a new album which will be released on November 23rd.  The star just released the track list for the album, entitled ‘Rated R‘.

Baby Bumps: Kourtney Kardashian’s Boyfriend Scott Disic Has A ‘Man Shower’

While Kim Kardashian plans sister Kourtney’s baby shower, the Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami star’s boyfriend, Scott Disick, had his own daddy-to-be celebration of sorts this week in Miami during an evening of dining and clubbing Kourtney jokingly dubs a “man-shower.”

On Wednesday, while Kardashian and Disick were in Miami – where she and her famous sisters own the store Dash – the -again couple attended a dinner at the Fontainebleau hotel’s steakhouse Gotham Steak with Kevin Federline and his girlfriend Victoria Prince, musician Cisco Adler and rapper Shwayze.

Afterwards, Disick and Federline headed to the hotel’s nightclub LIV to watch Adler and Shwayze perform.

“We were joking that it was Scott’s ‘man shower,’ like his version of a baby shower,” Kardashian tells PEOPLE.

“Guys get excited too about having a baby, so they should do something too. One of our friends started calling it a ‘man shower,’ but I was like, ‘Guys don’t have tea and open presents!’ But for them, dinner and then going to a nightclub is a ‘man shower.’ They thought it was funny.”

As for the male bonding, Kardashian says Federline gave her beau “some cute advice about being a father, he was really sweet, saying how Scott’s life will change.”

Kardashian says that evening is where the “man shower” festivities will likely stop. “That was it,” she says. “That’s as far as guys will ever plan unless they need an excuse to go out! I had no desire to go. I was relaxing, chilling. If they want to go have a ‘man shower’ in Miami, then go ahead!”

And did the boys behave? “Yes,” she says. “And it’s downstairs, so if I needed anything, it’s close. I totally chilled.”

Celebrity News: Emma Watson Attends Brown University

Actress Emma Watson, best known as Hermione Granger in the blockbuster Harry Potter movie series, has joined the ranks of college freshman across the nation as she entered the prestigious Ivy League school Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island earlier this week.

The 19-year-old attended orientation sessions and was photographed in a team building exercise with a group of first year students – see photo below.  She plans to study literature but will carve out time to film the last two installments in the Potter series during college breaks.

The British actress arrived on campus via helicopter on Wednesday, September 2.  That may seem like a celebrity move to her fellow classmates but the teen hopes the rest of her higher learning experience is less obvious.  She said, “I want to be normal.  I really want anonymity like everyone else.”

Smell This: What’s Your Favorite Fall Scent?

{Photo: Yummi Candles}

Hey Readers,

It’s been a while since I posted, and I thought I’d do something more interactive with you guys. I want to know when it comes to fall, what is your favorite scent?

I must say that I love the smell of warm chocolate, but what girl doesn’t love chocolate, right? I also like the smell of pumpkin spice, and apple & cinnamon.

It just makes me feel like I’m walking into a bakery. I must say though, I was given a chocolate candle a few years ago, and it was one of the best candles I ever had. It literally smelled my whole kitchen up like I was melting chocolate on a fondue. So Yummy!!

Got to love that chocolate!

So tell me, what’s your favorite scent?

Glossy: Ashley Olsen Covers Marie Claire

MAGAZINE: Marie Claire
NEWSTANDS: September 2009
MODEL: Ashley Olsen
STYLIST: Leslie Fremar
PHOTOGRAPHER: Mark Abrahams
Website: www.marieclaire.com
NOTES: The personal style icon and force behind two thriving fashion lines, gracing the cover of Marie Claire’s September issue, in the accompanying cover story gives a peek into her closet and her life, to the readers of Marie Claire. When Ashley Olsen crafts an image for herself, she nails it, every time. Working closely with the MC fashion team and stylist Leslie Fremar on our cover shoot, Ashley brought to life her vision of a light and airy yet intimate portrait—a sweet escape from dark economic times. Antiqued silk and lace lingerie were a nod to the 1930s, while nubby sweaters kept the looks grounded in modernity. Vintage-inspired jewelry and a simple, understated color palette were in keeping with the rule of the day: Less is more.
