Rihanna's 'Russian Roulette' video has surfaced, and it looks like it comes from a pretty dark place. It tells the story of a more depressing, less naked bad romance than that of Lady Gaga. In the video Rihanna is a hooded prisoner, bleeding from the neck in a chair, dancing in a gas chamber and finally floating in the water as bullets pierce through her neck. 'Grey's Anatomy''s Jesse Williams plays her bloodthirsty love interest.

'Russian Roulette' is part of Rihanna's new album, "Rated R," which drops Nov. 23 and is the first album she has released since the Chris Brown beating. Rihanna has said that recording the album was such an emotional experience she had to leave the studio at times to keep from breaking down.

The video was supposed to debut on tonight's '20/20' but was leaked online a few hours early. Chris Brown debuted his new video, 'Crawl,' on 'The Wendy Williams Show' this morning. It shows Brown gazing at billboards of the girl he loves and crossing deserts to find her then failing to reel her in.

also can female singers start putting their clothes back on in videos? it's just desperate and cliche to be nude or semi nude for almost no reason, after a while.

it all just seems empty and gratuitous. and what i also find weird is that Rihanna doesn't even write her songs, so she's just singing lyrics someone else wrote. i know a lot of artists do it, but still. very hollow and detached.

Art imitating life?

Last week I believed she really wanted to speak out on domestic violence, but after last night , I'm convinced it was all to promote her new video. No human emotion there, just a big self-promotion machine.

I feel that her video is effective; and that says a lot.

She is clearly attracted to the dark side. Please don't tell me how it ends.

Saw that piece and was totally disgusted, and this no-talent kid wants to be a spokeswoman for domestic violence? I'm really surprised that ABC showed the entire video.

What does it say to impressionable teenagers? That violence is ok simply because it's Rihanna doing it?

Has she lost her mind? If you have to leave the studio during taping because you're overcome with emotional problems, shouldn't that tell you that there's something wrong with doing this video?

Revolting. Sick.

And she talked this past week about being a role model for young kids? Amazing. I guess she compartmentalizes and justifies a lot.

It's evident to me that she needs as much therapy as her fans think Chris NEED,well atleast he's getting some help.By the way,I saw The Crawl video and it was cool,now that kid has talent and I will definitely be buying his cd........

Poor Poor Rihanna,girl with no talent for song and dance so she has to resort to such desperate measures just to be notice.
