The New York Yankees are World Champions again after a nine year drought, sealing the title on a soft grounder that set off celebrations across New York.

The Yankees proved without a doubt they were the best team in baseball in 2009, and broke in their new stadium in the grandest fashion imaginable, winning at home in the Bronx.

Rihanna: Chris Brown Incident “Embarrassing”, “Wrong”

Singer Rihanna, who garnered unwanted headlines in February when she was the victim of a domestic violence incident involving her then boyfriend, singer Chris Brown, is finally talking about the incident with Diane Sawyer.

The singer says the attention and aftermath, including a photo showing her beaten and bruised that circulated across the internet, was embarrassing.
