Despite reports that Samaire Armstrong would not be returning to ABC hit, Dirty Sexy Money full-time, the 26-year-old actress, who plays Juliet Darling, will be back on a recurring basis, her rep tells Usmagazine.com.

“The actress will therefore be free to pursue other projects in film and on television,” her rep said on Monday.

In early October 2007, Armstrong missed work because she was receiving treatment for “personal issues.” At the time, her rep said: “Samaire Armstrong decided to enter an outpatient facility to deal with some personal issues in a therapeutic atmosphere and is doing very well. She continues to work on her show and will be completing her treatment in a matter of weeks.”

The show, which airs on Wednesdays, follows the travails of the Darling family, a wealthy New York family who has a knack for getting into trouble. It stars Donald Sutherland, Peter Krause, Jill Clayburn and Seth Gable, who plays Armstrong’s twin. The drama returns in the fall after the writer’s strike truncated its season this year.

Armstrong has had roles in The OC and Entourage.

Rihanna is hoping to quash rumors she is dating fellow R&B star Chris Brown once and for all - by insisting their relationship is like “brother and sister”.

The pair has caused much speculation over the nature of their relationship since they were photographed frolicking in a Jamaican swimming pool together last month. They further fueled rumors last month after they were photographed leaving a London hotel together - but the Umbrella star insists Brown is more like a family member than a love interest.

She says, “I won’t say that we’re just friends - me and Chris are really best, best friends. We both started our careers around the same time. He is one of the only people in the industry … I trust and hang out with all the time. “We are best friends, honestly, like brother and sister. If he was a boyfriend, I would say that.”

What’s Heidi Montag’s reaction to being hailed as a “feminist hero” in The New York Times’ review of The Hills?

“I was very honored to be called a feminist hero,” Heidi tells In Touch. “It’s a big deal to be even acknowledged, let alone complimented by The New York Times by such a profound, famous TV critic.”

Her boyfriend, Spencer Pratt, was also a fan of Ginia Bellafante’s review —even though it praised Heidi for refusing to acquiesce to his demands. “Spencer was ecstatic,” says Heidi. “He’s proud of whatever I do.”

The 22-year-old aspiring singer and Heidiwood fashion designer says she considers herself a feminist (“I definitely do!” she exclaims), but was less forthcoming when asked who her own feminist heroes were. “Who are my feminist heroes?” she asked. “ Um… I’ll get back to you on that one!”

House star Hugh Laurie hates talking to the press about his past - comparing the experience with putting his “testicles on a chopping board”.

The British actor, who has previously admitted to suffering from clinical depression, tries to remain upbeat by focusing on the future. But reporters like to delve into his background, and their questions often trigger a negative mood swing in Laurie.

He says, “Obviously you are in a very vulnerable position (when you give an interview). You are putting your testicles on a chopping board. I get anxious about a lot of things, that’s the trouble. I get anxious about everything. I just can’t stop thinking about things all the time. And here’s the really destructive part - it’s always retrospective. I waste time thinking of what I should have said or done. I can’t bear going through the same f***ing dance of despair.”
