Read excerpts from her Paper magazine cover story interview with Barneys New York’s creative ambassador at large Simon Doonan below.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ffff00;"><strong>Trash TV: </strong></span>&#8220;I love Big Ang &#8212; what is that? And I love the way those girls talk to each other: &#8220;Don&#8217;t YOU be coming at ME!!!&#8221; I love every freakin&#8217; moment. And I watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta and Beverly Hills. Taylor and Adrienne and the girls.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ffff00;">Fame Monster</span>:</strong> &#8220;Ugh! I have been working sooo much. Success came and now that so many eyes are on me, I feel I have to deliver. And it&#8217;s a business. No joke. I guess I am stressing more than I should be, and I think I am becoming more guarded.&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ffff00;"><strong>The Sound of Her New Album:</strong> </span>&#8220;The  album is like a collage of all my emotions. I am not sticking to any  particular style. I am doing what I feel without restrictions. So it&#8217;s  very free and very me.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.crunktastical.net/tag/nicki-minaj/">More Nicki Minaj News</a></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffff00;"><strong>Sitting Next To Vogue Editor-In-Chief Anna Wintour During New York Fashion Week:</strong></span> &#8220;Yes! I was screaming out loud inside my head. Me sitting next to the Queen of Vogue! It was such a strange experience. I felt like I was dreaming. And I thought she would be snobby or something. But she was so incredibly sweet to me.&#8221;</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Power 105&#8217;s on-air personality <strong>Cherry Martinez</strong> chatted it up with Love &amp; Hip Hop executive producer<span style="color: #ffff00;"><strong> Mona Scott-Young</strong></span> about her decision to choose a &#8220;Barbara Walters&#8221; interview format, why Teairra Mari wasn&#8217;t apart of the reunion special, rumored cast pregnancies, Somaya Reece calling her a bitch and more.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;It is what it is. And listen, the thing about it is I&#8217;m probably the closest person to them, right. I&#8217;m the person drawing stories from them, communicating with them. There when things go bad, there when things are great,&#8221; says Scott-Young about the cast coming across as resentful on the reunion special.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;So, I actually see them calling out my name not as them being resentful as much as this is the person that they turn to for everything with the show. So, you know I definitely accepted that responsible and that role.&#8221;</p>

She took to Facebook to air her frustrations and set the record straight.</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;">After being honored by my Guild on Sunday, I was whisked to the Press Room where one of the first questions I was asked (by Ted Casablanca) was ‘what I felt about underweight women&#8217;. (i&#8217;m paraphrasing here) I&#8217;m thinking….this is relevant because… Then I started thinking, would these questions ever be asked of my male counterparts? Better yet, underweight actors or actresses? Nah, I don&#8217;t think so!</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Anyway, I answer: &#8220;Women would be a lot happier if they ate…However, it is society that has told them and continues to tell them that you are less valued if you are of a certain age, or weight…something has to change.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I began that by addressing my own weight issue..&#8221;Granted I&#8217;m not at the healthiest weight because when you are heavier around the middle…&#8221; blah blah blah. You get it. The next thing I read, Octavia Spencer is WORRIED ABOUT HER WEIGHT…. OCTAVIA SPENCER FEELS SHE IS LESS VALUED BECAUSE OF HER WEIGHT…</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Of course I was miffed that not only was I being misrepresented, but it was sending THE WRONG MESSAGE to kids out there. So, I decided to tell you IN MY OWN DAMNED WORDS the truth! First of all, Ladies and Gents here&#8217;s what i am NOT DOING….I am NOT WORRYING ABOUT MY WEIGHT! I AM NOT TRYING TO CONFORM TO an unrealistic model of beauty.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Be happy in your own skin. If you are unhealthy start by making small changes to become healthier. You are unique, beautiful, and worthy. Last but certainly not least, don&#8217;t buy into any of it. AND I MEAN LITERALLY! I don&#8217;t buy magazines that don&#8217;t feature women who represent my physicality or varying ethicities on their cover because they are saying, YOU DON&#8217;T MATTER TO ME…YOU ARE NOT MY DEMOGRAPHIC. To that I say, good, that&#8217;s $35 a week I can save! God bless!</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">After calling out his &#8220;chauvinist ways&#8221; to Sister 2 Sister magazine editor Jamie Foster Brown during the couple&#8217;s cover story interview, America&#8217;s favorite Curious Case of the Cottles was just as eager to come to her &#8220;overbearing&#8221; husband&#8217;s defense. The Queen of the South has spoken, peasants. </p>
<blockquote><p>Honestly, one thing I can say about T.I. is he has made all my dreams come true. Everything I have ever asked him for, everything I say I want to do, he makes it happen . . . Sometimes he can be a little overbearing &#8217;cause he wants to know your every move, what&#8217;s going on and why ain&#8217;t you here.</p>
<p><span id="more-54119"></span></p>
<p>On the flip side, there&#8217;s a lot of men that could give a shit about where their woman is or when they&#8217;re coming back, &#8217;cause they want to do what they want to do. So I&#8217;m blessed to have someone that cares enough to want me around at all times.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“Like every poor person, I used to dream about winning the lottery,” <span style="color: #ffff00;"><strong>Ambot </strong></span>told the <a href="http://bossip.com/533395/amber-rose-everyone-is-someones-sloppy-seconds-unless-youre-a-virgin/">New York Post</a> over dinner at West Village&#8217;s popular restaurant The Lion. “I didn’t just get money, though. I got fame. And I got fame before I got money, and it was scary. It fucking sucks.”</p>
<p>Oh, gworl.</p>
<blockquote><p><img src="http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h62/freshcrunkjuice/2011/amber-wiz.png" alt="amber wiz Quick Quotes: Amber Rose On Being Viewed As Sloppy Seconds" align="right" title="Quick Quotes: Amber Rose On Being Viewed As Sloppy Seconds" />Today, she lives in LA with current squeeze, rapper Wiz Khalifa, the 24-year-old who shot to mainstream fame with his ode to Pittsburgh, “Black and Yellow” last year.</p>
<p>After the Kanye breakup, Amber “totally separated myself from hip hop,” she said. “I didn’t listen to the radio, I just totally got out of the world. I listened to heavy metal.”</p>
<p>But she was single for only a few months before she met Wiz Khalifa via Twitter.</p>
<p>“I was scared, because he’s four years younger than me, and he’s in the same industry as Kanye and I was so over all that,” said Amber. “All odds were against him, but I couldn’t fight the feeling. Wiz is the better man.”</p>
<p>The couple has been dating for a year — they have each other’s names tattooed on their hands — and Amber said they’re thinking about marriage, babies, and buying a home together.</p>
<p><span id="more-53385"></span></p>
<p>“We both travel a lot, so when we do see each other, we lay up in the bed, get sticky with each other, and watch movies,” said Amber. “If Wiz felt insecure about me dating Kanye, I wouldn’t be with him today. Everyone is someone’s sloppy seconds, unless you’re a virgin.”</p></blockquote>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.ebony.com/style/sanaa-lathan-talks-bad-weaves-best-man-2-and-that-nasty-kobe-byrant-rumor">Ebony Magazine:</a> You recently got caught up in a nasty rumor with Kobe Bryant, that you were somehow the reason for his marriage ending after you two were seen in the same VIP section at Jay-Z and Kanye West’s Watch the Throne concert. I have to say I absolutely loved your response to the rumor on Twitter.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">[Sanaa tweeted: "Anybody who pays attention knows I’m not his type… Blank stare. #blackgirlsrock #dontbelievethelies" We adore!]</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ffff00;"><strong>Sanaa Lathan:</strong></span> I probably shouldn’t have said that because I don’t discriminate when it comes to dating. I have dated all races and I believe you should be free to do whatever you want.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But I was so annoyed because I was having such a great time at the concert and Kobe happen to be standing next to me, and then all of a sudden I was tied to his break-up. That’s absurd, and I tweeted that in the moment, and I regret it.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But to each its own. It’s just funny that if it’s written people believe it, and even though I have said I have nothing to do with him, people are still saying when the baby is due?</p>
<p><span id="more-53258"></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffff00;"><strong>LOVERS ROCK</strong></span></p>
<blockquote><p>Yeah, I&#8217;ve always had issues with women. Like, I love hard. If I&#8217;m in love, I love real hard and give the woman everything. Sometimes I expect too much and maybe I think my subconscious wants that person, naturally. As far as effort, there is nothing worse than when somebody doesn&#8217;t match your effort. But I love too hard, so will they ever be able to match it? When you give emotion to a woman, you want it to be reciprocated and not play yourself.</p></blockquote>
<p>&#8211; <span style="color: #ffff00;"><strong>Wale </strong></span>talks matters of the heart with <em>Sister 2 Sister</em> magazine</p>
<p><span style="color: #ffff00;"><strong>PRESIDENTIAL PURSUITS</strong></span></p>
<blockquote><p>I hope somebody makes a movie about Obama’s life soon because I could play him . . . That’s the goal. I watch all the addresses. Any time I see him on TV, I don’t change the channel. I definitely pay attention and listen to the inflections of his voice. If you ask anyone who knows me, I’m pretty good at impressions.</p></blockquote>
<p>&#8211; <span style="color: #ffff00;"><strong>Drake </strong></span>tells MTV he still wants to portray <a href="http://necolebitchie.com/2012/01/27/drake-still-wants-to-portray-president-obama/">President Obama</a> on the big screen</p>

<p>Under normal circumstances the Original Song category for the Oscars sees four to five nominations, but only two contenders were announced this year &#8212; &#8220;Real in Rio&#8221; from &#8220;Rio&#8221; and &#8220;Man or Muppet&#8221; from &#8220;The Muppets&#8221; &#8212; leaving tracks from Elton John and Lady Gaga, Pink, will.i.am, Elvis Costello, Zooey Deschanel  and <a href="http://www.crunktastical.net/tag/mary-j-blige/">Mary J. Blige</a> out of the race.</p>
<p>“It hit hard. It was kinda rough. I must say,” MJB told &#8216;Watch What Happens Live!&#8217; host Andy Cohen on Tuesday night about her song &#8220;The Living Proof,&#8221; for the film &#8220;The Help&#8221; being snubbed.</p>
<p>“I’m confused. I don’t know what to say except for I just gotta keep doing what I do and look at this as a battery in my back to keep striving and be thankful for the lesson, count it as a blessing.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I think the lesson is to just keep going. Don’t let things make you spiral down,” she said. “The positive side is that there’s obviously something better” for me.</p>
<p><span id="more-53003"></span></p>
<p>Willona Woods took to Twitter shortly after the nominations were announced earlier that morning to vent her frustration, writing “I’m so thankful for true fans like you all. It saddens me &amp; feels like the Academy is being mean. 2 only nominate 2 of the 5 slots is . . . ”</p>
<p>The movie landed a nomination for Best Picture and stars <strong>Viola Davis </strong>and <strong>Octavia Spencer</strong> were both nominated for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, respectively.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #ffff00;"><strong>Chelsea Handler</strong></span> revealed to Howard Stern on his Sirius XM satellite radio show on Monday that her romance with <strong>50 Cent</strong> was finito after a heated argument over one of his ex-girlfriends &#8212; a Tire Kingdom stock clerk masquerading as a R&amp;B singer named <strong>Ciara</strong>.</p>
<p>Omarion and Bow Wow would never let scrotum come in between their friendship but they are obviously the exception. Besties!</p>
<blockquote><p><img src="http://www.crunktastical.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/ch.png" alt="ch Chelsea Handler Explains Break Up With 50 Cent" align="left" title="Chelsea Handler Explains Break Up With 50 Cent" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.s2smagazine.com/stories/2012/01/chelsea-handler-explains-50-cent-breakup">Sister 2 Sister &#8211;</a>“So you&#8217;re telling me that this girl wants to get back together with you, but she&#8217;s upset that you&#8217;re dating me?” Chelsea said to Howard, recounting her conversation with 50.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Coincidentally, the G-Unit founder decided to give Chelsea this information right before Ciara was set to make an appearance on her show. He wanted to make a 3-way call to prove to Chelsea how things were. Chelsea fired back stating, “Curtis (she called him by his first name), honestly, this is eighth grade&#8230;” At the end of the phone call, Chelsea said some words to 50 Cent that were very offensive and then she hung up on him.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>So, how was the sex you&#8217;re wondering?</p>
<p>&#8220;The sex was okay. It was just normal, it was fine. It wasn’t mind blowing.&#8221; She continued: &#8220;I’ve had much better sex with other people, but it was good.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Check out a clip of Chelsea dishing about her relationship with Curis below. </strong></p>

<blockquote><p><strong>The Hollywood Reporter:</strong> Looking at the most successful movie of the year to feature black talent, The Help, why do you think the film was able to transcend racial boundaries and be both a commercial and critical hit?</p>
<p><span style="color: #ffff00;"><strong>Spike Lee:</strong></span> OK, let me ask you a question: Why did Driving Miss Daisy win best picture in 1989? That&#8217;s my answer.</p>
<p><strong>The Hollywood Reporter:</strong> So you&#8217;re saying they&#8217;re both period films in which the black actors portray servants?</p>
<p><span style="color: #ffff00;"><strong>Spike Lee: </strong></span>Stacey, Stacey, Stacey. That&#8217;s my answer [above]. I don&#8217;t need to elaborate. <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/risky-business/sundance-2012-spike-lee-talks-283456">(source)</a></p></blockquote>

<p>Actor <span style="color: #ffff00;"><strong>Michael Ealy</strong></span> tells Ebony magazine his plans to lighten up both on and off screen for a while:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I&#8217;ve learned, at this point in my career, that I need to start having  some fun. Everything can&#8217;t be <em>Colored Girls</em>. Sometimes you gotta go and  do something your family can see, something you don&#8217;t die in. My mom  always says, &#8220;Are you gonna die in this movie, baby? I don&#8217;t wanna see  you die no more.&#8221; I&#8217;ve died a lot. She&#8217;s tired of that. I understand.</p>
