Rihanna did not quite learn from her childhood experience of watching her mother and father in an abusive relationship. Or, did she?

“I always anticipated it happening. At night I wouldn’t want to sleep, because I was too afraid it would happen,” the singer said in the portion of her ABC News interview that aired on 20/20 tonight, referring to her father hitting her mother when she was a child growing up in Barbados.
“She never went to the hospital, but he broke her nose.,” Rihanna continued. “She would never go to the hospital…Domestic violence is not somebody that people want anbody to know, so she would just hide it in the house. I always said to myself, ‘I’m never going to date somebody like my dad, never.’
“I always said that.”

And yet she not only dated someone who hit her, she went back to him after the fact.
“Lying to yourself again, [I thought], What is he going through? I had to protect him,” she explained. “The whole world hates him now. His fans, his career, he lost me—I just need to let him know don’t do anything stupid.”

But Rihanna ended things shortly after she and Brown rendezvoused in Miami.

Ivanka Trump just got married. Meanwhile the father of the bride, Donald Trump, gave his blessing and said of the marriage, “It’s going to be great,” and when asked if the two were a match made in heaven, he replied, “I think it is.”

Ivanka’s mother Ivana, a family friend Nikki Haskell and other family members also attended the reception. Ivanka said “I do” at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey on Sunday. The bride walked down the aisle in a custom Vera Wang gown as more than 500 guests looked on, including Regis Philbin and Barbara Walters.

When Britney Spears’ two sons, Sean and Jayden, were looking for a pal to splash around with poolside during a recent trip with their mom to Mexico, they knew right who to call on: Her new beau, Jason Trawick.

“Jason was great with the kids and you can tell Britney really trusts him,” an eyewitness to the group’s three-night getaway at the Tides Zihuatanejo resort in Mexico earlier this month, tells Us. “He would pick up Jayden if he wanted to be held, immediately calming the boy down.”

And it is Trawick’s calming influence over her sons that puts mom Spears — whose two-year marriage to Kevin Federline ended in 2006 — at peace.

Jon Gosselin is a concerned father - or so it appears in an exclusive interview for ET.

“I’m doing this to protect my kids because my kids have asked sometimes that they don’t want to be filmed,” Jon tells Mary Hart of ET. “My kids need to come off the show.”

His estranged wife Kate, in her own statement to ET, says her main priority is the children’s well-being. But Jon begs to differ.

“She says, ‘It’s financially rewarding. Blah-blah-blah.’ I’m like, ‘It doesn’t matter.’” He continues: “At what price is it going to be for your kids? I mean, are you going to sacrifice their childhood for a couple bucks?”

Brad Pitt, his beard and his son Maddox were at JFK yesterday, en route to France to meet up with Angelina and the rest of the Jolie-Pitt clan.

I’m kind of liking Brad’s suit but can’t Angie tell him that greying beard has got to go? You’d think he has enough money to have someone fix it. Maddox seems shy and embarrassed. It’s so sad being a celebrity kid, but at least he has a First Class seat and a big trust fund to comfort him!
