Taylor Armstrong appeared on KTLA this morning, in a candid interview. She’s very open about the fact that she believes had it not been for the cameras filming ‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’, Russell would have killed her and possibly her child in a murder/suicide. Taylor’s husband killed himself in August after amassing an enormous debt.

‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ star Taylor Armstrong is opening up about her estranged husband’s suicide and defending her decision to do the show.

Armstrong tells KTLA that she was in “an abusive relationship for six years,” and the presence –or absence — of cameras would not have altered that “reality.”

She also calls the show her “saving grace” and says she and her 5-year-old daughter, Kennedy, would likely have fallen victim to domestic violence, had it not been for the program.

“If the cameras were not in my life, there’s a good chance I wouldn’t be sitting here today because a lot of domestic violence situations end in murder-suicide versus just suicide.”

Armstrong says she spent five weeks in her house after her estranged husband, Russell Armstrong, 47, committed suicide. The troubled investment banker and venture capitalist was found hanging in a bedroom at a home on Mulholland Drive.

Many questioned whether being on the show contributed to his death.

Taylor Armstrong filed for divorce in July, claiming Russell physically abused her.

She says she has a titanium implant holding her right eye up as a result of the alleged violence.

“That’s a pretty significant situation,” she said.

Armstrong says the show gave her the platform to help other women in similar situations.

“I’m thankful to be here, especially for my daughter,” she said. “Imagine if she had two less parents instead of one. It’s been hard enough for her and I… I feel thankful at this point.”

I definitely think it’s horrible that Russell abused Taylor. I’m finding it hard to stomach, however, that Taylor’s going this route following his death. The one thing that sits wrong with me in this interview is when she talks about how Russell could have killed her if not for the RHOBH cameras. It’s one thing to call him out for the abuse you suffered at his hands – it’s another to call him a murderer. He still has three children, and I think it’s a low blow to say he “could have” killed you.

Here’s a glimpse at what’s coming! First look at Lady Gaga’s new music video “Marry the Knight”. Let’s hope it’s better than her last couple videos!

Jim Carrey was spotted holding hands with a woman in New York City this afternoon. No word on who the super-skinny woman is… I’ll keep searching though!

In other Jim Carrey news, the comedian has just signed on to star in a new movie alongside Steve Carell!

Jim Carrey is negotiating to star with Steve Carell in Burt Wonderstone, the Don Scardino-directed New Line comedy. Carell plays the title character, a Las Vegas magician who breaks with his longtime stage partner and finds himself upstaged by a rival hip street magician who is stealing his thunder. Carrey is coming off Mr. Popper’s Penguins and I Love You, Philip Morris. The film’s produced by Carell’s Carousel banner. Carrey last made The Number 23 with New Line, but he launched his star there with The Mask and Dumb and Dumber.

Actor Chad Michael Murray signs copies of his first graphic novel ‘EverLast’ at Barnes & Noble in New York City.

During a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, the “One Tree Hill” actor said, “For the last eight years I’ve loved and grown with this story. It came to me after meeting a man who showed up on my doorstep in Wilmington, NC. I really hope everyone enjoys it.”

Not only is Chad showing off his authoring talents in the venture – he’s also unveiling his charitable side. The Hollywood star is giving 100 percent of the proceeds from the short’s download on his website (http://www.thechadmichaelmurray.com/everlast-2) to a choice of three charities, voted upon by tweeting #EverlastCharity with the name of the fan’s choosing.

“Hunters Hope is a local charity from my hometown of Buffalo, NY. I’ve worked with them for years and they are very close to my heart. It was Founded by Hall of Fame and Buffalo Bills Quarterback Jim Kelly, who’s son Hunter Kelly passed away from Krabbe’s disease. Their mission is to raise awareness about universal newborn screening and to give our children a better chance at a normal life.”

“The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric Aids Foundation is an amazing organization and I feel fortunate that I am able to attend their events and learn about the cause. There are enough obstacles in a kid’s way already without living with HIV or full-blown AIDS. The transmission of the virus to beautiful, young children needs to be stopped,” Murray told of the second charity.

He added, “To Write Love on her Arms (TWLOHA) is a socially important non-profit that started virally from a story written by founder Jamie Tworkowski. It aids in bringing more awareness and council to self mutilators and addicts. I was blessed to be involved in a film version of this story (slated for release in 2012). It’s really something special.”

From his website: ”Brandon Flowers, lead singer of The Killers, knows that it’s not common for a rock star to have a wife and kids. But his parents’ example led Brandon to choose early on that pursuing music wouldn’t be about sex and money.”

In this new ad, he’s promoting ‘The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints’.
