Who: Jay Sean
Album: 'All or Nothing'
Video: 'Down'
Hails From: London
For Fans Of: Chris Brown, Craig David

Why He's About to Pop: Since embarking on his career in music, Jay Sean has dropped a handful of singles and two albums, and already toured extensively, performing for audiences at sold out shows worldwide. Sean's international success soon caught the attention of US record executive Ronald "Slim" Williams. Now, Sean is signed to a multi-album recording contract with Universal's Cash Money Records -- home to Lil Wayne, who collaborated with Sean on his No. 1 pop/R&B hit, 'Down' -- and is set to release his new album, 'All or Nothing.'

"Wayne is a huge inspiration, man," Sean tells PopEater. "I mean, just watching him at work and watching him on the video set and everything was super inspiring, 'cause that guy has got so much energy and is such a pro. You can just tell he's been in it for years, and he just doesn't stop grinding."

Sean has been keeping just as busy as Wayne -- 'All Or Nothing' is out on Nov. 24, and the singer is on tour in the US through December. "I'm all heart," Sean says. "I take risks and I go with my gut. Music is my passion, and I just had to give it a go. Otherwise, I don't think I'd ever be able to live with myself. Luckily, it's been working out great for me so far."

Between Rihanna and Lady Gaga's performance outfits, it is difficult to say who shocked us more during theAmerican Music Awards. Their skin-tight ensembles left little to the imagination. Rihanna performed in a futuristic white catsuit with white shoulder pads during 'Wait Your Turn,' which marked her first U.S. performance since February.

Gaga continued to outdo herself as she danced on stage in a nude bodysuit, bandages and skeleton bones attached to her torso during her performance of 'Bad Romance' and 'Speechless.'

The King of Pop is still winning awards and setting records doing it. But while Michael Jackson won a record four posthumous awards, he couldn't beat Taylor Swift for top honors at Sunday night's American Music Awards. The 19-year-old was named the year's favorite artist, giving Jackson his only loss of the night, and giving her five trophies in all. "Music has never been ultimately about competition," she said as she accepted the top prize via satellite from London. "To even be mentioned in a category with Michael Jackson, who we will miss and love forever, is an unimaginable honor."

Chris Brown tells MTV News that he's not looking to get back into the dating game, just yet.

"My whole dating thing, I've been kinda chillin'," he says. "I mean, I'm Chris Brown. I'm not saying it like that, but it's just, like, girls are gonna be around. I love women. But I would say I've just been chillin'."

In response to RIhanna's interview with Diane Sawyer, Chris Brown tells MTV News that he wishes the specifics of the night he attacked her had remained between them.

"While I respect Rihanna's right to discuss the specific events of February 8, I maintain my position that all of the details should remain a private matter between us," he says in a statement.

As if Chris Brown's life, image and reputation haven't been sullied enough since his brutal beating of RIhanna back in February, this week offered up a surplus of less-than-rainbows-and-puppies news for the disgraced R&B star. His quest to revamp his public persona via apologies has helped a bit, but this week, that all hit the skids thanks to a few minor hiccups (e.g., his awesomely terrible album cover) and one major one -- with Rihanna detailing his violent outburst(s) to Diane Sawyer. So, PopEater is taking a look into what may have been the worst week ever for Chris Brown.

When Rihanna sits down tonight with Diane Sawyer on '20/20', it's sure to be one of the biggest interviews of the year. But will it go down as one of the biggest interviews of all time? Over the years, the celebrity interview has become one of the staples of the entertainment industry. Make a huge mistake? Go on the 'Tonight Show' and humbly plead forgiveness. In need of a reputation makeover? Talk to Oprah and shed a tear. Need to generate instant headlines? Letterman is your man. When celebrities open up, crazy things seem to follow, so whatever happens tonight, chances are people will be talking about it tomorrow. In order to help Rihanna prepare, then, we thought we'd give her (and you) a refresher course in some of the most infamous interviews of all time.

Rihanna gave the world a glimpse into her life and the dark details of the assault on her by Chris Brown on 'Good Morning America' once again, this time going into specifics about the night he viciously beat her. "He had no soul in his eyes," Rihanna tells Diane Sawyer about Brown during the violent episode in his car back in February.

Doesn't it feel like the whole world wants to hold Rihanna's hand today? Well except for Chris Brown, who is still finding new ways to smack a girl down from afar. After her tearful chat with Diane Sawyer this morning where Rihanna admitted she went back to Chris again and again and talked about how ashamed she was of herself for not being strong enough to leave an abusive relationship, women (and sensitive men) across the globe just wanted to be on that couch saying, "Girl we understand!"

All of that Rihanna good-will must have been too much for Chris to handle since he will try to strip away some of her sympathy thunder tomorrow night when he vents in his own sit down with MTV News, a couple of hours before Rihanna's interview with 20/20 is scheduled to air. Is Brown doing damage control or is he just being a jerk? Our experts weigh in after the jump.

In the first portion of her ABC interview, Rihanna tells Diane Sawyer that she went back to Chris Brown "eight or nine" times following domestic violence incidents, and that she was blinded by love and made the wrong choices. "Don't react off of love. F love," Rihanna emotionally pleads to young girls who may be in her situation. Rihanna also says it was "embarrassing that's the type of person that I fell in love with," referring to Brown. Watch the Emotional Video After the Jump

When news of Chris Brown's attack on Rihanna broke last February -- on the night of the Grammy Awards, no less -- the entertainment world was completely and utterly shocked. That is, until photos of Rihanna's battered face were leaked for all the world to see.

Now, eight months later, Rihanna is speaking out about her ordeal -- first, in a sit-down interview with Diane Sawyer for TV's 'Good Morning America' and '20/20,' and also in a revealing profile in Glamour magazine. While no one can fault the young pop star for wanting privacy and time to recover, should she have broken her silence earlier? Cast your vote and read what experts think after the jump!
