Rihanna Rihanna was beaten by former boyfriend Chris Brown, resulting in physical injuries that required her to be hospitalized. 2. Tina Turner Ike Turner notoriously beat wife and singer Tina Turner throughout their marriage. The abuse was depicted in the biopic What’s Love Got to Do With It. 3. Charlize Theron The actress grew up with an abusive father. Theron’s mother wound up shooting him in self-defense after he came home drunk and angry one fateful night. 4.

Madonna was raped on a rooftop when she was 19 by an unknown attacker. View Slideshow
The sixth season of Game of Thrones may be the show’s most eventful to date, but with the possible exception of the death of Hodor (a fairly minor, albeit beloved character), it has yet to hit us with a stunner on par with the Red Wedding or the execution of Ned Stark. That didn’t change with “No One,” but the stage is certainly set for a bloody and jaw-dropping conclusion. Appropriately, the season’s eighth installment opened with a reenactment of one of the most memorable deaths in the recent history of Westeros – that of His Douchiness, Prince Joffrey. As the show’s been wont to do this season, it answered any questions left over from the previous week’s cliffhanger right off the bat: Arya is alive, and the actress she was once tasked with assassinating is both a badass with a history of violence and a remarkably solicitous mother figure. Perhaps the clearest way that this season has stood out from the five that preceded it (aside from the aforementioned breakneck pacing and the fact that the plot has progressed beyond the end point of George R.R. Martin’s books) is its humor. The scene in which the Hound quickly dispatches several members of the Brotherhood Without Banners may have been grim, but it also featured some one-liners worthy of a top-notch ’80s Die Hard knockoff (“You’re sh-t at dying, you know that?”) Speaking of badass revenants (Thank you, Leo, for teaching us that word.), we learn that Daenerys has become a messiah figure thanks to fervent preaching from yet another red priestess. We also get the long awaited return of Tyrion and Varys, both absent in the previous two episodes. Sadly, however, it seems that Stewie-and-Brian-esque partnership is at least temporarily at an end as Varys bids adieu to Meereen. He plans to return, but the hint of sadness in Tyrion’s voice reminds us that these two may be parting ways for good. From there, it’s back to Kings Landing, where Cersei, still butting heads with the increasingly powerful High Sparrow and hi Faith Militant, protects herself with the otherworldly badassery of the other Clegane brother. View Slideshow: Game of Thrones Season 6 Episode 8 Photos: Tyrion Looks Troubled There’s more humor in the form of Bronn’s reunion with Pod. (Remember when they were both Tyrion’s buddies? Yeah, we barely do, too!) Meanwhile, in the tent (where they’re not having sex, thank you very much), Jaime and Brienne engage in more diplomatic, maneuvering, and the pieces begin to fall into place for the wars to come. Brienne wants to talk the Blackfish into surrendering Riverrun in exchange for safe passage north for a f-ckton of troops. Jaime has his doubts, but he agrees to the deal, possibly out of lingering affection for his former traveling partner/captor, Brienne. Lesser shows would have Brienne melt Brynden Tully’s heart and triumph against the odds, but on GoT, she’s shot down just as Jaime predicted. From there, we see Cersei victimized by a betrayal worthy of … well, her , as Tommen sets a date for her trial – and outlaws trial by combat, thus negating her big, brutish ace in the hole, the Mountain. Tyrion waxes poetic about booze some more (Note how the show has been grouping scenes featuring the Lannisters together.) and continues his efforts to get Missandei and Grey Worm to loosen up and see things his way. Side note: How long until the Imp’s Delight wine hits shelves? We imagine a dry pinot noir. We’re bummed that we didn’t get to hear the punchline to Tyrion’s booze-jackass-honeycomb, but his attempts at getting his cohorts to lighten up actually appear to be working – at least until the masters sail into port with war flags flying. Jaime visits Edmure Tully whose imprisonment is reminiscent of his own in Season 2. (No accident, we’re sure.) Edmure’s sorry state and the return of Brienne combine to make Jaime reflect on his previous interactions with the Tullys, which in turn cause him to realize the similarities between Cersei and Catelynn But as his threat to launch Edmure’s kid into the river reminds us, that doesn’t mean he’s gone soft. Jaime effectively persuades Edmure to enter the castle (He is the lord of Riverrun, after all.) and order Brynden’s troops to stand down. The Blackfish meets his demise nobly, Brienne and Pod escape with a wistful wave goodbye from Jaime, and like that, the weird tangential Riverrun storyline comes to an end. At least the Starks got more troops for their raid on Winterfell? With her peeps at Meereen under siege, Daenerys makes the most hardcore entry in history. (It’s tough to beat travel by dragon in terms of awesomeness.) But will it be enough to fend off the masters? Yeah, most likely. The big reunion episode continues as the Hound comes face-to-face with the Brotherhood members who nearly killed him, and drops a reference to his famous chicken dinner with Arya. (Oh, and kills the dicks who murdered Al Swearengen.) “Lots of horrible sh-t in this world gets done for something larger than ourselves,” the Hound says in a sadly topical refutation to the Brotherhood’s arguments. Despite his initial resistance, however, it looks as though appealing to the Hound’s newfound morality may have won the Hound over to their side. After that, we’re back to Arya (Weiss and Benioff are clearly intent on reminding us of how all these far-flung storylines are related.), who gives new meaning to blood orange while tumbling through a farmer’s market to evade the Waif. Though we can’t help but feel that we were deprived of a badass fight scene, it’s nice to see Arya make short work of the Waif and reclaim her name. With Arya’s stand against Jaqen (She lets him live as a thanks for saving her life so long ago.), another piece falls into place for what fans believe will be the most epic pair of episodes in the show’s six-season run.

Dancing With the Stars pros Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd began dating back in 2012, but just like the competition for the mirrored ball trophy, their relationship has been far from easy. The couple split several times amidst infidelity rumors, always telling the press that their work schedules were too hectic to allow them time for a relationship. (We feel like training and filming just a few feet away from each other would make it easy to put in long days at work and still spend time together, but we digress.) Anyway, after many ups and downs, Maksim and Peta got back together in May of this year, and over the weekend, Maks asked Peta to be his dancing partner for the rest of their lives. This is not a couple that's ever shied away from the spotlight, so it's fitting that Maks proposed during a performance at the Olympia Theater in Miami. You can watch the big moment in the video below. “I'm in love with you, and I will be in love with you for the rest of my life,” Maks told Peta before getting down on one knee – much to the delight of the massive crowd on hand. The couple hasn't discussed any specifics, such as when they plan to tie the knot, but if they decide to have kids, you know they'll be born with some serious rhythm. Congrats to Maks and Peta!

Seen On The Scene: The Kardashians, Mary J Blige, Jada Pinkett-Smith And A Bunch Of Celebs Celebrate Olivier Rousteing’s Birthday In LA There was probably one of the most well-dressed kickbacks in the hills of Hollywood last night, when celebrities came out to celebrate Balmain designer Olivier Rousteing’s Birthday . Kim K came through with some of her sister-clique to show love to her designer “bestie”. Kris Jenner was all smiles with Corey Gamble while Kylie came coupled up with Tyga. To the delight of many, Mary J Blige was also present at the shin-dig, as well as Jada Pinkett with her intellectual offspring. Justin Timberlake, Jessica Biel and JLo came through too, hit the flip for more from Olivier Rousteing’s Birthday celebration.
Yesterday, Lindsay Lohan turned 29 , which is remarkable in its own right. What might be more impressive, however, is the fact that Lindsay seemed to have marked the occasion with a fairly low-key, possibly even sober celebration. The day before the celebration, Lindsay posted a naked butt selfie and described vague plans to spend her big day hanging out with her sister. Nudity aside, the whole thing seemed incredibly normal. There were no queries about where to obtain an Everest-sized mountain of blow or links to Google pages about the efficacy of guzzling booze with less-traditional orifices. We had our suspicions that she wasn’t telling us the whole story. It’s totally possible that we were right, and she pulled the wool over our eyes, but after scouring the web for reports of bad behavior, we’re happy (and a little confused) to tell you that Linds seems to be mellowing with age. Sources say she looked fantastic in a modest white dress as she celebrated with her seldom-seen sister, Ali, and a small group of friends at London’s Covent Garden. Lindsay is off probation for the first time in eight years, and we kind of figured she would go nuts after being on the leash for so long, but it looks like they impossible is happening…Lindsay Lohan is growing up. Of course, we just jinxed it, and now she’s probably hot-wiring a cop car as we speak.

Yesterday, Rihanna’s “B-tch Better Have My Money” music video dropped on YouTube and set off a tidal wave of debate, the ripples of which can still be felt all over the web. If you haven’t seen the clip, be warned that it’s extremely NSFW, and you should proceed with caution if you’re easily upset by graphic violence, gratuitous nudity, or Eric Roberts: Rihanna “B-tch Better Have My Money” Music Video Weirdly, BBHM features all of those things in spades, and while some of the 10 million who have already viewed the clip on YouTube seem unsure of what to think, many, many others are taking hard-line stances in favor of or against what might be the most divisive music video of all time. Some have praised the 7-minute short film as an ode to female empowerment, a declaration that fictional women should be able to engage in the same horrific on-screen acts as Dexter or Tony Soprano without being blackballed for encroaching on the territory traditionally occupied by male villains. Others say it’s just the opposite – a senseless slice of shock value that serves no purpose other than to glorify violence against women. The harshest critics of the clip have questioned why the victim chosen by RiRi and her posse must 1. female, and 2. naked throughout much of the video. Yes, she’s the wife of an accountant (played by Hannibal’s Mads Mikkelsen) who somehow screwed Rihanna over, but why wasn’t he thrown in a trunk and hung upside down in his underwear? Sure, he gets his in the end, but the decision to focus on oddly-sexualized female-on-female violence has struck many as at best odd, and at worst profoundly offensive. So what are we left with? Is the Internet doing what it so often does to art and over-analyzing it within an inch of its life? Probably. Is Rihanna loving the sight of the YouTube views piling up as fans and haters alike look on in either delight or disgust? Most likely. And you can bet she’s celebrating just like her character in the video – with a fat blunt, atop an ever-growing pile of money. Perhaps we’re all the “bitches,” and we should all just fork over the cash. #DeepThoughts Anyway, check out the clip and decide for yourself. Oh, who are we kidding? It’s been online for over 24 hours. You’ve almost certainly made up your mind already.

As previously reported and documented, Justin Bieber is a new path. He’s apologizing for his past behavior, he’s getting Roasted on Comedy Central , he’s staying single so he can focus on self-improvement . And he’s dressing in drag?!? Justin Bieber in Drag! Yes, at least on an episode of Lip Sync Battle, which premieres tonight on Spike. The new series will be hosted by LL Cool J (with Chrissy Teigen on color commentary) and it will feature Bieber at one point channeling Ozzy Osbourne while performing the rock legend’s 1980 hit “Crazy Train.” He’s got the black wig. He’s got the trenchcoat. He’s got the eye-liner and he definitely has the intensity. Back in February, Spike TV taped 10 episodes of Lip Sync Battle in New York City. Inspired by Jimmy Fallon’s awesome segment on The Tonight Show, the program will also feature appearances by Malin Akerman, Dwayne Johnson, John Legend, Jennifer Lopez, Meghan Trainor and many others. We’re excited to see them all, but we find it impossible for anyone to ever top Emma Stone lip-syncing . Merely watching that performance ranks as like a top-five moments in our lives. 17 Lip Dubs We Loves 1. Brian Williams Lip Dubs “Gin and Juice” View Video It’s lip dub time again for Brian Williams!
