We are very proud of Vanessa Williams.

The actress has bravely come forward and revealed that she was sexually abused as a child.

Vanessa is speaking out about it in interviews, and discuses the issue in her new memoir, You Have No Idea.

She says she was just 10-years-old when she suffered abuse at the hands of the 18-year-old daughter of her parents’ friends, who:

“pulled down the bloomers of my cotton baby-doll pajamas. I lay there paralyzed. What was I going to do?”

But she didn't let the insolence paralyze her for long. She adds that, even though it did inspire some teenage rebellion, it didn't stop her from accomplishing her goals:

“It didn’t paralyse me, and I don’t dwell.”

Opening up about something like this is VERY hard, but bringing the subject into a public conversation can raise awareness for the children that become victims of this sick abuse everyday.

Whitney Houston's sister-in-law says the late diva spent her last days on earth "chasing a dream."

A bunch of Houston's fam sat down with Oprah to tape an interview for Oprah's Next Chapter. The Houston family episode doesn't air until Sunday, but we have the inside scoop on what Whitney's sister-in-law, Patricia Houston had to dish.

When "The O" asked if she knew drugs would be the end of the diva, Patricia confessed:

"Handwriting was kind of on the wall. I would be kidding myself to say otherwise."

The wife of Whitney's brother told Oprah that Whit's drug problem was improving in her final days, but a new set of issues were plaguing the singer. She explains that:

"Things were changing, very much so … it wasn't about substance abuse or anything like that relative to the latter days or anything like that. It was just more of a lifestyle. I was afraid for other things. I saw her chasing a dream, you know, looking for love in all the wrong places."

ZOMG! It sounds like Patricia could be talking about Ray J!

Houston was spending a TON of time with the musician (aka Kim Kardashian's sex tape partner) in the months before her death.

Perhaps our speculation will end when the interviews air this Sunday!

We were really happy that Jessica Alba agreed to sit down with us for an interview. It was our way of extending an olive branch to her and an opportunity to apologize in person for the hurtful things we said in the past.

We gotta admit… we were really nervous and awkward and it wasn't easy, but we're so glad we did it!

And, we're very happy we got to chat with Alba about her awesome new entrepreneurial endeavor, Honest.com, helping families and health-conscious individual by providing organic and healthy products that we all need and use!

Read some excerpts of our chat with Jessica… after the jump!

OMG! She's alive!

Kate mother-f*cking-of-eight-Gosselin spent Thursday going on what she called "a press day" in El Lay.

The ex-TV star was looking like a hot momma in a short sparkly dress while she interviewed for Extra at the Grove.

Why does she need press? Is she getting a new show, or (gasp!) is she having another baybay??

None of her interviews have aired yet, but we'll def keep you posted!

Rachel Crow is the most Charming 14-year-old in the world!

Yesterday the little X Factor alum sat down with Wendy Williams and proved she's not just a talented singer - she's a fab conversationalist!

Some young stars are scared or snobby in interviews (cough, cough, Bieber), but Rachel is the prefect mix of confident and cute!

See for yourself (above)!

Wonder why?!?

Since Justin took a DNA test in New Jersey last Friday, he's been taping his over priced sneakers waiting to compare his blood to his alleged son's.

But sadly (and predictably) Mariah Yeater and her lawyers wont ante up her baby's DNA results.

Yeater's lawyer has been blabbing to the media, giving print AND radio interviews. It seems the only people he wont talk to are in Justin's camp!!

Sources connected with Justin believe Yeater will never produce DNA results, because it will simply become ammunition for a lawsuit he intends to file against HER!

We seriously hope we never hear about Yeater again. Unless, of course, the "love birds" decide to reunite on an episode of Maury.

We TOTALLY support a Maury episode!!!
