She opened up earlier this week on "Good Morning America" and a full interview airs tonight on "20/20." Watch a clip below. It's a personal and emotional topic, but Rihanna shows her strength to tell others that there's no excuses for domestic abuse. Her message: Don't be ashamed.

Based on actual events, "Pirate Radio" follows seafaring deejays who capture airwaves, defy the government and captivate listeners in 1960s Britain. This looks like the coolest music movie since "Almost Famous." Critics are already raving.

    The stellar ensemble cast includes Bill Nighy, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Rhys Ifans and many other rising stars. The soundtrack has enough clout to be its own character. Expect tunes from The Kinks, The Who, Cream, Jimi Hendrix, etc. The movie rocks into theaters Nov. 13.

I actually kind of dig the "New Moon" soundtrack. (I'm still a little sore about all the selling out involved, but I'll get over it.) However, I've found five tracks that definitely should have made the cut. (I put two Radiohead songs on because Stephenie Meyer is a huge fan. The Vampire Weekend track is more about the band's name.)
    What tunes would you add to the soundtrack?
