TV confessional time with eternally youthful Diane Sawyer and abused pop star Rihanna.

Both singers have moved on, and Barbados beauty Rihanna is shaking things up with unusually coiffed hairdos - releasing her fourth album Rated R on Nov. 23. The album's first single "Russian Roulette" debuted last week. The interview is scheduled to air on "Good Morning America" on Thursday, Nov. 5 and Friday, Nov. 6 at 7 a.m. ET, and on "20/20" on Friday, Nov. 6 at 10 p.m. ET.
