Chris Brown is set to premiere the video to his ballad “Crawl,” the second single from his forthcoming album Graffiti, this Friday during an appearance on “The Wendy Williams Show.” It was also announced on Monday (November 9) that Brown is due to appear on BET’s “106 & Park” this week, and appear and perform on “Good Morning America” next month.

The Joseph Kahn-directed clip for “Crawl” will feature Bad Boy recording artist Cassie as Brown’s love interest. The song’s lyrics seem to address Brown’s situation with Rihanna.

Kahn spoke with MTV News recently and said the video is “probably the most personal thing [Brown's] ever done.”

“I mean, everything that’s happened to him in the year, I think this is going to be his big statement, in terms of what he’s feeling and what he’s living through right now,” he said.

“It’s my first ballad with Chris, and it was easy,” he explained. “Again, it’s another idea that he clearly had, in terms of what the genesis of the idea is. I don’t even know if Chris is trying to say anything with the video. I think he just sort of, as an artist, I think Chris communicates more through what he does … and so what he does in the video will speak for itself.”

Graffiti was pushed up to a December 8 release date last week, and the lead single, “I Can Transform Ya,” currently rests at #24 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Rihanna Says Going Back To Chris Brown After Beating Sent “Wrong Message”

Rihanna Breaks Her Silence On ABC 500x3421

In her first television interview since being assaulted by former flame Chris Brown, pop princess Rihanna says it was “”wrong” of her to take the crooner back.

“That’s embarrassing that that’s the type of person that I fell in love with,” the singer told Diane Sawyer on ABC’s Good Morning America Thursday. “So far in love. So unconditional that I went back. It’s humiliating to say this happened. To accept that? It’s a traumatizing experience.”

During the interview, she confirmed that Brown, 20, held her in a headlock twice and bit her on the ear and fingers the night before the 2009 Grammys last February. The attack occurred in Los Angeles’ Hancock Park neighborhood as Brown drove a rented sports car.

“I stayed. I even went back after he beat me, which was wrong,” Rihanna said. “It’s completely normal to go back. You start lying to yourself…I’ll say that to any young girl who is going through domestic violence: ‘Don’t react off of love.’”

Rihanna, 21, also hinted that it may have taken “eight or nine attempts” before she could finally leave the relationship.

“It’s pretty easy to go back….When I realized that my selfish decision for love could result in some young girl getting killed, I could not be easy with that part,” she says. “I couldn’t be responsible for that. Even if Chris never hit me again, who’s to say their boyfriend won’t? Who’s to say they won’t kill these girls? I didn’t realize how much of an impact I had on these girls’ lives until that happened.”

ABC will air more chunks of the interview on Friday’s GMA. The interview will air in its entirety Friday evening on 20/20.

Rihanna’s looking great on the cover of Glamour Magazine. She looks happy and confident despite the obstacles she’s recently faced thanks to that douche bag, Chris Brown.

In an interview, which you can find inside the issue of Glamour, Rihanna says, “I went to sleep as Rihanna and woke up as Britney Spears…That was the level of media chaos that happened the next day. The positive thing that has come out of my situation is that people can learn from that. I want to give as much insight as I can to young women, because I feel like I represent a voice that really isn’t heard.”

Rihanna will be honored — alongside literary legend Maya Angelou and comedian Amy Poehler — at the annual Glamour Women of the Year event in New York City on Monday, Nov. 9.

Could this be the comeback we’ve all been waiting for? Is Whitney Houston officially back on top?

If the projected sales of her first album in seven years are any indication, ‘I Look To You’ is expected to sell upward of 200,000 copies, which should easily take the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart. If that’s the case, Houston will knock tween superstar Miley Cyrus down a few slots.

Insiders speculated the Houston’s shaky performance on Good Morning America could affect her overall sales, but it looks like that will not be the case.

Yesterday we reported that Whitney Houston pre-taped a performance for Good Morning America’s Summer Concert Series. Although we are all excited for the diva’s comeback, it is obvious in the video that her voice cracks and she can’t hit the high notes like she used to.

In typical diva fashion, Whitney blames someone else…Oprah! Houston said, “I’m so sorry. I did ‘Oprah.’ I’ve been talking for so long. … I talked so much, my voice,” she said, right before launching into ‘I’m Every Woman.’

Oprah, take it easy on poor Whitney! She’s got to get used to this all over again.
