And tonight, Sandra Bullock versus the porn star.</s>HAMMER: Yes, Brooke. This is truly a remarkable story. It is so bizarre it almost seems made up. Sandra Bullock, the superstar actress who`s been called American sweetheart, is now in the middle of a nasty fight with a porn star over a 5-year-old child, a porn star who used to be married to Sandra`s husband, Jesse James, a porn star who just got out of jail and now says she wants her child back. A porn star, along with Sandra Bullock, who made for big news breaking today.</s>UNIDENTIFIED ACTOR: We are -</s>SANDRA BULLOCK, ACTRESS: Getting married.</s>HAMMER: There`s the world famous girl next door movie star, Sandra Bullock.</s>JESSE JAMES, HUSBAND OF SANDRA BULLOCK: We are putting a giant motor in a humvee.</s>HAMMER: Her husband, tattooed biker and reality show star, Jesse James -</s>LINDEMULDER: What are would give her the right to take away my daughter? You know, this is my daughter. I`m the best mother I can be. I have absolutely made horrific choices in the past.</s>HAMMER: SHOWBIZ TONIGHT can you it`s a bitter Hollywood triangle with a little girl at stake.</s>AMANDA SIDMAN, "NEW YORK DAILY NEWS": James doesn`t feel that Janine is a fit parent anymore and either does Sandra.</s>HAMMER: Amanda Sidman of the "New York Daily News" tells SHOWBIZ TONIGHT Bullock has been helping James care for little Sunny since January when the girl`s mother, Janine, began six-month sentence for tax evasion.</s>SIDMAN: Sandra is also saying that she has reduced her workload. She has reduced the number of films that she is doing and made herself available to Sunny. And Sandra has said she has felt like more than a stepmom. She feels like Sunny`s mom at this point. And they feel that Sunny is more safe and happier in their home.</s>HAMMER: Bullock and James have a problem with Janine`s current husband who, like Janine, is also an ex-convict. But their bigger concern is Janine`s history of drug use. In a letter to the court obtained by ABC News, Bullock writes, quote, "While in Janine`s care, sometimes Sunny is left alone during the day while her mother is asleep from drug use."</s>LINDEMULDER: I had my share of drugs. But then, there is a huge portion of my life, 10-year span, where there is nothing. I didn`t need it.</s>HAMMER: In an interview this morning on "Good Morning America," Janine Lindemulder admitted her troubled past, but she insists she is clean now.</s>LINDEMULDER: Sandy doesn`t know what goes on in my house. I would love for her to. Please come over. You know, I will make dinner. You know, let`s sit down.</s>HAMMER: The battle between the porn star mother and the comedy star stepmother has gotten very personal. In her letter to the court, Bullock wrote, "I am aware that Janine has claimed many times that my desire to have Sunny was because I could not have children of my own. It couldn`t be further from the truth." Janine Lindemulder denied saying that during her interview this morning on "Good Morning America."</s>LINDEMULDER: I do believe the reason Sandra is so interested in Sunny - she is saving Sunny from me, from her own mother.</s>HAMMER: Lindemulder says she is having financial trouble in part because the courts have barred her from doing any more adult films. She is asking Bullock and James for financial help. In the end, it looks like it will be settled by the courts.</s>SIDMAN: On the one side, you have a very, very powerful Hollywood couple. There`s this B-list adult entertainment star. And I think a lot of people will think that Sandra and Jesse`s money and fame and influence can help them win this battle.</s>HAMMER: Now, SHOWBIZ TONIGHT did try to contact the parties in this difficult custody fight. They didn`t respond in time for our show. But there is much to talk about in the case. Coming up on SHOWBIZ TONIGHT, we - of course, we`ll do just that. It`s Sandra versus the porn star. Should Sandra Bullock get custody of her husband`s daughter? An explosive debate is coming up at the bottom of the hour.</s>ANDERSON: Tonight, Mariah Carey`s shocking claim of abuse. That claim and Rihanna`s domestic abuse case also made for big news breaking today. In a brand-new and dramatic interview seen tonight just hours ago on CNN`s "LARRY KING LIVE," Mariah Carey opens up for the very first time about being emotionally abused when she was married the first time around. Also breaking tonight, the startling reaction today to Rihanna`s brand-new revelations about the night Chris Brown beat her up. Rihanna now says she would like to be a role model. But has that ship already sailed? Joining me tonight from New York, Midwin Charles who is an attorney for Midwin Charles and Associates. Also from New York, Cooper Lawrence who is a psychologist and author of "The Cult of Celebrity." Ladies, I want to begin with Mariah Carey`s brand-new bombshell revelation in an interview seen tonight on CNN`s "LARRY KING LIVE". Mariah and Larry were talking about the Rihanna and Chris Brown case. And when Larry asked her if she had ever been abused, she revealed a bombshell. Watch this.</s>MARIAH CAREY, SINGER: Abuse has several categories.</s>LARRY KING, HOST, "LARRY KING LIVE": You have been emotionally abused?</s>CAREY: Emotionally, mentally -</s>KING: Why is it hard to get out of it?</s>CAREY: Well, it`s scary. You know, I just think you get into a situation and you feel locked in. If your situation is similar to one of the situations I have been in, which I won`t -</s>KING: No, you don`t have to. But it is hard to get out?</s>CAREY: For me, to really get out it was difficult because there was a connection that was not only a marriage but, you know, a business thing where the person was in control of my life.</s>ANDERSON: OK, although she doesn`t mention his name, Mariah clearly talking about her ex-husband, music mogul Tommy Mottola here. Tommy Mottola did not respond to our calls for comment. Cooper, they have been divorced for 11 years. How hard do you think it`s been for Mariah to keep this in for so long?</s>COOPER LAWRENCE, PSYCHOLOGIST AND AUTHOR: we don`t know if it`s true or not. And why is she saying it now? I mean, I actually - I know people who worked with Tommy Mottola for years and I called them when I heard we were doing the story. And I asked, "Tell me about him. What do you know?" And they called him a god in the industry. Now, it doesn`t mean that he is not abusive. We don`t know. You know, a lot of times you get people who, you know, on the outside seem very on the up and up. And you find out really horrific things about them. Why is she coming out with this now? Who knows? I`ll never understand why Mariah Carey does anything that she does.</s>ANDERSON: Well, if it is true, I`m sure it has been very difficult to keep it inside for that long. I do want to move now, though, to Rihanna. She is speaking out for the very first time about the night that she was brutally attacked by Chris Brown. In an interview with "Glamour" magazine, Rihanna says women who are abused often hide it because it`s embarrassing. Listen to what she said as read by SHOWBIZ TONIGHT producer Sandra Lee.</s>SANDRA LEE, PRODUCER (reading Rihanna`s statement): My story was broadcast all over the world for people to see and they followed every step of my recovery. The positive thing that has come out of my situation is that people can learn from that. I want to give as much insight as I can to young women because I feel like I represent a voice that really isn`t heard. Now, I can help speak for those women.</s>ANDERSON: Rihanna here sounds like she wants to be a voice for those women who are abused. Midwin, do you think it`s too late for her to do that? Has that ship sailed or is any time the right time for Rihanna to speak out?</s>MIDWIN CHARLES, ATTORNEY, MIDWIN CHARLES AND ASSOCIATES: It`s never too late. Remember, she has been through a traumatic experience. And like I had always said, she is a celebrity, but she never chose to be a victim. So she can handle this in the manner in which she thinks is best for her and in a time frame that is best for her. But I think people are going to embrace this. There are a lot of young girls who are probably going through the same thing. And knowing that Rihanna will speak about it I think will help them. I actually commend her for coming out and talking about this. But she doesn`t have to.</s>ANDERSON: Exactly. I applaud Rihanna for doing this. And I want to you look at this, because SHOWBIZ TONIGHT was right there at the Soul Train Music Awards last night in Atlanta. Actress Keisha Knight Pulliam told us that she is on the fence though about whether Rihanna is obligated to do something. But she also told us that she thinks Rihanna could have an enormous impact. Watch.</s>KEISHA KNIGHT PULLIAM, ACTRESS: I do know that by her speaking out, she can do a tremendous amount of good. And I think that very much outweighs any of the negative that it could do. If she can help one life, one girl not experience what she did, I think that that`s worth it.</s>ANDERSON: Cooper, very quickly. Does it matter that she`s waited this long?</s>LAWRENCE: This is one of the most underreported crimes that goes on. So if this one woman steps up and says, "I am being abused," it doesn`t matter how long she waits. I think the sooner she gets out there and starts talking and gives women courage, the better.</s>ANDERSON: Me, too. And she says she feels super-fearless now. I`m sure it took her a while to get to that point. Midwin Charles, Cooper Lawrence, thank you both. Now, we want to hear from you.

There are startling brand-new explosive claims that Josh Duhamel, who has been married to Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas for less than a year, cheated on her with a stripper. Well, I can tell you Josh and Fergie - they are fighting back against the allegations. You`ve got to hear what they are doing to shut this stripper up. And this is so shocking. So unbelievable. Is Nicolas Cage broke? Yes, really. This guy is one of the highest paid actors in the business. But tonight, I can tell you he may have lost his entire multimillion-dollar fortune. You`ve got to hear this incredible story. Also this -</s>JEANNE MOOS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: We have seen him in rain, in sun, in cold, in heat.
