“I wish I could have been able to tell my story before now…But, until my husband Russell’s suicide, I didn’t feel safe to bring my story into the light, to help all battered and abused women, and men, and aid them in their struggle.

“I discussed my book Monday night for the first time on Bravo’s ‘Watch What Happens Live.’ The overwhelming response from viewers and their outpourings of support has been gratifying. From the bottom of my heart, I believe if my book can help others find the courage to deal with the pain and fear of their abusive relationships, I will have made a real difference in their lives.”

Armstrong broke down in tears on Monday’s Bravo show “Watch What Happens Live,” and told host Andy Cohen that she was “a trainwreck” during the most recent episode of “Housewives” and admitted that during the filming of the current season, “I was losing my mind.”

Britney Spears’ ex-husband Kevin Federline suffered a health scare while filming a reality weight loss show in Australia last month.

The former back-up dancer was taken to a local hospital when he suffered from “heat stress.”

Federline is in Australia filming “Excess Baggage,” a weight-loss program that will air on the Nine Network next year, according to Adrian Motte, a rep for the show who confirmed the incident.

Motte said, “Our first shoot was in November in the Kimberley region in Outback Western Australia, widely regarded as one of the most remote and hostile parts of the country. During the shoot, under advice from the show’s medic, Kevin was taken to the hospital as he was showing signs of heat stress.”

November is the hottest month of the year in the region, with daytime temperatures averaging more than 100 degrees.

According to Motte, Federline, 33, quickly rebounded from the setback. Motte said, “He resumed filming in the Kimberley shortly after and is currently continuing on with the show.”

Sinead O’Connor is single no more.

The singer married fiancé Barry Herridge, 38, on her birthday at Las Vegas’ Little White Chapel Thursday. Does that sound familiar? It’s the same spot where Britney Spears and Jason Alexander married in 2004.

It is the fourth marriage for the 45-year-old singer, whose ex-husbands are music producer John Reynolds, journalist Nicholas Sommerlad and musician Steve Cooney.

O’Connor wore a pale pink dress to match her pink convertible for the drive-through ceremony. An eye witness told Us Weekly O’Connor chose the location because she “wanted a rock ‘n’ roll style wedding.”

The witness reports that after the couple exchanged their vows, “the staff at the chapel sang her ‘Happy Birthday,’ and she started to tear up a little. They were on their own and did not have any family or friends.”

On her blog, the Irish singer said the wedding was “too glorious for words.”
The “Nothing Compares 2 U” singer promised to give fans a full update on Sunday because “for now…it’s a bit of a ‘Can’t. Talk. C*ck. In. Mouth.’ situation.”

This will mark Jones’ feature directorial debut, MovieWeb reports.

The original film starred Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman, an affluent investment banker in the 1980s, who moonlights as a serial killer.

In the midst of a slew of child abuse allegations, former Penn State football assistant coach Jerry Sandusky has at least one strong supporter – his wife.

Dottie Sandusky said Thursday that the accusations made against her husband are false and that his accusers are making up stories, including one suggesting that she was home while Sandusky attacked a boy who screamed for help, the Associated Press reports.

Mrs. Sandusky’s comments are the first she has made since her husband was arrested last month and accused of molesting boys he met through the charity he founded for troubled youth.

Sandusky is facing more than 50 charges and has maintained his innocence.

According to the Associated Press, Mrs. Sandusky released a statement through her husband’s lawyer following a grand jury report that held the claims of two new accusers, one of whom says he cried out for her help.

“I am so sad anyone would make such a terrible accusation which is absolutely untrue. We don’t know why these young men have made these false accusations, but we want everyone to know they are untrue,” she said in the statement.

Mrs. Sandusky has raised six adopted children and said she has been “shocked and dismayed” by the claims.

On Thursday, Sandusky was released after a night in jail when he posted bail stemming from the latest child sex abuse charges filed against him. Sandusky faces criminal accusation from 10 young men who claim he molested them when they were boys in his home, on Penn State property and elsewhere. The accusations have raised criticism that Penn State officials didn’t do enough to stop the alleged assaults.

The Big Ten conference announced Thursday that it would review the Penn State scandal and reserved the right to hand down sanctions pending its findings.

As three National Basketball Association teams attempted to pull off a multi-player trade, the NBA, spearheaded by Commissioner David Stern, shut it down.

In a complicated deal, the New Orleans Hornets were sending Chris Paul to the Los Angeles Lakers, who in turn were sending Lamar Odom to the Hornets and Pau Gasol to the Houston Rockets. Houston would then send Luis Scola, Kevin Martin, Goran Dragic and draft picks to the Hornets.

The NBA quickly ended the deal by refusing to approve the trades. An NBA spokesperson told Yahoo that owners “didn’t kill the deal.” It was killed for “basketball reasons.”

Whatever the cause, it has left many players in a state of instability as they report for training camp Friday.

Odom said to the Los Angeles Times, “I guess that means I’m a Laker if the trade didn’t go through. I don’t know what to do for the Lakers. I’m even weirded out by the league for doing what they did. I don’t know what to do.”

Odom said he was surprised by the trade, saying that he thought it was “a lie” when he first heard about it.

After it was announced that the deal was off, Paul tweeted, “WoW.”

Dan Gilbert of the Cleveland Cavaliers was among team owners who pushed Stern to shut down the deal. Gilbert called the proposed trade a “travesty” in an e-mail to Stern and urged that it be put to a vote by the league’s 29 owners. Business Week reports.

The NBA’s 66-game season begins Dec. 25.

As the investigation of the fatal shooting of a Virginia Tech police officer continues, university spokesman Larry Hincker said Friday that the shooter was not a student, the Associated Press reports.

Officer Deriek W. Crouse was shot dead in his parked cruiser Thursday, causing officials to lock down the university while police and SWAT teams searched for the shooter. Police announced Friday that ballistics tests confirmed that the weapon used to kill Crouse was also used to shoot a second man found dead on campus.

In-car video from the officer’s cruiser shows a male suspect with a handgun at Crouse’s car at the time of the shooting. Authorities have no identified the gun and say they don’t know what motivated the killing or whether there was a link between the shooter and Crouse, according to the Associated Press.

Crouse was an Army veteran and married father of five. He joined the campus police force in October 2007.

Thursday’s shootings has brought back memories to the school of its 2007 shootings, in which a gunman left 33 people dead and 25 wounded. It was one of the worst shootings in U.S. history.

Thursday’s shootings occurred the same day Virginia Tech officials were in Washington fighting a federal government fine over their handling of the 2007 massacre.

About 150 students gathered silently for a candlelight vigil on a field facing the memorial for 2007 victims, the Associated Press reports. An official vigil is planned for Friday night.
