Rihanna on assault aftermath
[IMG1 L] - After being beaten by singer Chris Brown in February, pop star Rihanna felt embarrassed she fell in love with the type of man he was and left him to set an example for young women, she said in an interview on Thursday.
After the pop singer was named Woman of the Year by Glamour magazine on Tuesday, she described to Barbra Walters how the release of a photo of her beaten face added to the humiliation.
'I woke up as Britney Spears' Rihanna said of the media frenzy that overtook her life. The attention included helicopters hovering over her house and months of speculation that she was getting back with her abusive boyfriend, Chris Brown.

Kurt Fearnley: I was relief teaching in Blayney when I met Kurt as a young school boy. The first thing that struck me was his smile and contagious positive outlook at all times. I see nothing has changed with this outstanding Australian. Although I never saw him again, it is a testament to the power of his personality that I have not forgotten him more than 15 years later.
