3. Hilton's show is viewer-challenged

Rihanna 's video for "Man Down," which finds the 23-year-old singer playing a woman who shoots a man who has sexually assaulted her, was still stirring heated debate Friday.

The Parents Television Council is urging BET to stop airing the video and asking MTV not to put it into rotation. BET began airing the video Tuesday.

On cnn.com Friday, author Leslie Morgan Steiner thanked Rihanna for shedding light on a "subject no one wants to hear about: the rage and vengeance fantasies that often constitute a normal, healthy reaction to rape and domestic violence."

Meanwhile, National Organization for Women president Terry O'Neill told MTV News that she didn't find the video exploitative and said she believes Rihanna is "working out personal issues through her art." The singer was physically assaulted in 2009 by then-boyfriend Chris Brown .

As of Friday, BET said it would continue to play the video. MTV said it was in the process of reviewing it.

James Arness , who played Marshall Matt Dillon on the long-running CBS Western "Gunsmoke," died Friday at the age of 88.

Arness reportedly got the role that made him a household name when his friend John Wayne turned it down. Wayne introduced the first episode of "Gunsmoke" in 1955, saying about Arness, "I predict he'll be a big star."

The show ran until 1975 and was the longest-running dramatic series in history until NBC's "Law & Order" tied it in 2010.
