Chris Brown Talks Negative Image, New Music on Today

Chris Brown is slowly but surely getting back to business—he just isn't saying much about it. After suffering a seizure during a recording session earlier this month, the 24-year-old "Fine China" singer appeared on Today's Friday, August 30, broadcast. "I'm good, I'm good," Brown said, referring to his recent seizure. "Just needed some rest. That's it."

Brown was then reminded of a previous Today interview where he vowed to promote positivity. As cohost Matt Lauer pointed out, "Some of the social media messages you've been sending out recently have been on the negative side. What's going on?"

"Uh, it's not my music," Brown explained, clearly not wanting to address his ongoing legal troubles. Changing the subject, he told the crowd, "I love my fans."

Asked about rumors of retirement, the Virginia native replied, "I'm just putting out the music right now. As far as how I work, I'm always going to continue to work for my fans and make sure they have fun." In early August, Brown tweeted that his upcoming album, X, will "probably be my last album." He has since deleted that tweet.

Brown also said his "God-given talent" and his "fans" inspire him to keep making music. "All my fans make me who I am," he explained.

The singer-songwriter did not address his community service requirements, nor did he mention being cleared in a hit-and-run case on Aug. 15.

Miley Cyrus Is Growing Out Her Short Hair, Talks Signature "White Trash" Style

Never say never!

Despite telling E! News "you will never see me with long hair again!" back in February, it seems Miley Cyrus is now singing a different tune.

The singer told pal and Fashion Police cohost Kelly Osbourne she's trying to grow out her famous pixie. "I'm secretly tugging on it every night and taking Viviscal. I'm not going to lie. But I'm going to rock it while I have it!" she said.

Hair growth pills are one option, but another one the star likes? Extensions. "I love a good weave," she shared. "I can't help it, I love a good piece."

While her hair may be changing soon, her edgier style is here to stay. The singer recently told MTV:

"You can just mix white trash and Chanel, that's me. That's my ultimate look," she explained. "Pretty much everything is weird bondage stores except obviously my jewelry—gotta keep it classy with Chanel. I wear a lot of jewelry during the day, so I pretty much just come with my own jewelry, and give me some underwear to wear with it, and I call it a day."

At home she opts for something a bit more comfy: a onesie.

"I have a hippo, which my boyfriend thinks is really sexy. So when I come downstairs it's Hungry Hungry Hippo, and I just go and smash everything and eat everything in sight."

Jennifer Love Hewitt definitely has that pregnancy glow.

The 34-year-old actress, who is expecting her first child with fiancé Brian Hallisay, simply stunned at the Pampers Love, Sleep & Play Campaign in New York City on Wednesday.

And naturally, the Client List star was more than happy to talk about all things baby.

When asked if she knows the gender of her little one, Hewitt smiled and told E! News that she's doesn't want to find out ahead of time.

"It's one of life's last great surprises and I want to be surprised," the mom-to-be said.

As for how her pregnancy is going, Hewitt admits it has its ups and downs.

"Your body goes through a lot of changes. You feel a lot of things hormonally," she said. "There are surges, there are aches, there are pains, there's swelling—there's all of that stuff. But it's all really beautiful because it's for a purpose. It's something you either embrace or you don't embrace and I've embraced it."

Not to mention, embracing a few food cravings as well.

"Food that I love, it's really just heightened," Hewitt said. "So, like Mexican food for me is it right now. If someone's like, 'What do you want for breakfast?' I say 'Mexican. And I want it for lunch and dinner too!' That's pretty much all that I eat."

Hewitt also opened up about missing her mother, who passed away last year from complications due to cancer.

"I really feel like, while it's been the most devastating blow to my heart and my spirit, something about this baby has been a gift from her," she said. "It has somehow been able to replace incredible grief with incredible joy. I'm very, very, very grateful for that. As every day approaches, I ask myself a lot why is she not here for this? Am I going to get through it without her? But I know she's out there and she's watching me and helping me and I'm going to be the best mother possible in her honor."

And clearly, motherhood is her biggest priority right now.

"I'm just tackling this first," Hewitt said while gently caressing her belly when asked if she and Hallisay have planned their wedding yet. "This is the most important thing to us, so we'll just get to that after."

Robert Pattinson Talks Sex Scenes in Little Ashes: "It Was Mortifying"

John Shearer/Invision/AP

Even the oh-so-sexy Robert Pattinson gets a little squeamish before a big sex scene.

While speaking with Germany's Interview magazine, the Twilight heartthrob opened up about his 2009 flick Little Ashes, in which he played surrealist painter Salvador Dalí.

The film chronicled a passionate love affair between the Spanish artist and poet Ferdico García Lorca (played by Javier Beltrán), and the 27-year-old actor recalls one particularly steamy scene where the pair got intimate in a pool.

"The Dali production was the worst, it was mortifying," he confessed to the mag. "We were all hanging out by the pool, trying to loosen up. I was nervously clinging to the edge—and before I could turn around, the Spaniard was already naked."

Needless to say, it made for an awkward moment for Kristen Stewart's former man.

"He happily swam towards me," Pattinson continued. "And I didn't have a clue how to react. I felt like Mr. Bean."

R.Pattz, whose first Twilight flick hit theaters just six months after Little Ashes debuted, also dished on his early modeling days (remember those pics?!):

"It went okay at first, I was tall and looked like a girl," the face of men's Dior fragrance admitted. "It worked because people loved the androgynous look at the time. But then I got older and manlier—and nobody wanted me anymore."

And of course, the sexy star couldn't help but comment on the intense Twilight fan base now that the epic franchise has finally come to an end.

"What's really weird about Twilight fans is that they're not really teenagers. Most of them are older," the Cosmopolis star confessed. "Twilight has its own fan culture that existed from day one. And in an intense way that didn't exist before."

So what's next for the newly single star been up to now that he's officially put his fangs to rest?

Pattinson is currently filming his second David Cronenberg-directed flick Map to the Stars opposite Julianne Moore and Mia Wasikowska, and he's also been enjoying the single life, spending time with pals at his new pad in Beverly Hills.

Victoria Beckham Talks Fashion Empire: "I Want to Get Bigger and Bigger"

Victoria Beckham has a life that most of us would envy—a thriving fashion career, international fame, a gorgeous hubby—but the Brit babe admits she wants more.

"I want to get bigger and bigger," she said of her brand in a recent interview with the New York Times' T magazine. "I absolutely want an empire."

Some might argue that she already has a fashion dynasty, with an already popular line of handbags, denim and sunglasses as well as her eponymous collections that continue to grow at impressive rates.

In fact, just yesterday, she launched her autumn/winter 2013 denim collection, along with video of a model showing off the latest selection of her trademark skinnies—and occasionally revealing her undies as she changes in and out of the designer denim. Along with the form-fitting jeans, Beckham will also offer up pants in fall-friendly fabrics, including velvet and cord, as well as a new wide-legged silhouette for gals who don't find the body-hugging skinnies flattering.

And offering a diverse group of women as many options as possible is exactly what Beckham is aiming for.

"I want to reach as many women throughout the world as I can," she said. "There are more categories that I want to enter into. I have five categories at the moment. But at some point I would love to do shoes, I would love to do fragrance, I would love to do makeup, I would like to do underwear. There are so many things I want to do."

Perhaps—fingers crossed!—she could get husband David Beckham, who stars in H&M's underwear campaign to help show off a line of underthings?

One thing's for sure, we can expect to see a lot more from the 39-year-old!
