Diddy Talks JLo
Dec 21, 2009 Diddy, Jennifer Lopez
Diddy had an interview with Playboy magazine recently where he talked about his ex-girlfriend, singer/actress Jennifer Lopez. The hip hop mogul said “I met Jennifer and it was a perfect match. We definitely loved each other… We’re still cool. I’ll always cherish her. There are people who come into your life that you’ll always love and respect. She’s definitely one of them. I feel as though we changed each other’s lives.” It sounds to me like someone isn’t completely over the failed relationship. I wonder if JLo got wind of this interview and what she thinks about it. Moreover, I wonder what her hubby Marc Anthony thinks.

Amerie Talks Twitter
Nov 30, 2009 Amerie
Amerie recently did an interview with HoneyMag.com where the singer talked about relationships, staying true to herself and connecting with her fans. The 29-year old spoke of connecting with fans, saying “I always reach out to my fans. When I first came out, I had my own website and I would do an update. A lot of people weren’t doing that. Some were, but not a whole lot. It was more like posting a paragraph about what’s going on. And now with Twitter and everything, it’s just like a constant influx of information from everyone, you know? I do have a Twitter account and I definitely do use it.”

Janet Jackson Blames Dr. Murray
Nov 17, 2009 Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson
In her upcoming interview on ABC with Robin Roberts, Janet Jackson reveals that she places the blame for Michael Jackson’s death on his doctor, Conrad Murray. The singer said “He was the one who was administering. I think he should be responsible.” Janet also talks about the day she found out about the King of Pop’s death. She said “I told them to call me back when they got to the hospital. And I remember thinking, nobody’s calling me back, so I tried calling again and that’s how I found out he was no longer… I couldn’t believe it. It just didn’t ring true to me. It felt like a dream… its still difficult for me to believe. Its, you know, you have to accept what it is.”

Ray J Disses Kim Kardashian
Nov 13, 2009 Kim Kardashian, Ray J
Ray J is obviously still harboring some hard feelings towards his sex tape partner Kim Kardashian. The Z-list singer recently had an interview where he was asked about his previous relationships with singer Whitney Houston and Kim. Ray J had nothing but nice things to say about Whitney but he couldn’t even bring himself to say Kim’s name. He simply referred to her as “the other girl”. Don’t be bitter just because her reality show has 3 times the audience as yours Ray J. heck, I didn’t even know he had a show. And oh yeah, let’s not forget that Kim kicked his but to the curb.

Amerie Talks New Album
Nov 13, 2009 Album Release, Amerie, Grammy Award
Amerie recently had an interview with The Urban Daily to talk about her new album ‘In Love & War’ which is already in stores. The 31-year old singer said “The album, for the most part, is about the hard times of relationships. There’s no song that idealizes love…it’s more of a realistic portrayal of being with someone other than yourself.” I don’t think that there’s an artist who hasn’t put out an album revolving around love, regardless of their view on it. When asked whether the Grammy nominee believes that all is fair in love and war, she replied “I think so! Human nature is human nature and the heart wants what the heart wants.”

Chris Brown Gets Interview Too
Nov 9, 2009 Chris Brown, Concert, MTV, Rihanna
To counteract Rihanna’s interview with Diane Sawyer, Chris Brown also took the time to tell his own side of the story with MTV’s Sway. During the interview, the R&B singer talks about the struggle to adapt to the public’s new perception of him and how fans might react towards him at his concerts. Chris goes on to talk about his on-going anger management therapy, court-mandated weekly group sessions and his community labor sentence. He says that all of those things helped him evaluate his past behavior and express his feelings in his new songs. It’s not like anyone’s going to watch and buy whatever he has to say.

Mariah Carey Wants a Family
Oct 7, 2009 Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon
Mariah Carey’s maternal desires must be going on over drive. During a recent interview with In Touch Weekly, the singer and her hubby Nick Cannon opened up about her career, love life and her desire to be a mother. When asked if they wanted kids, Mariah said definitely and Nick added “Yes, of course. It’s at the forefront of our minds. We’re very close. But we want to enjoy our first year together. We didn’t have a stable environment. The first year we were in LA in a hotel and then we were like, ‘Let’s get a house’.” The couple can’t decide whether they’re going to raise the kids in New York or LA but they do know that they’d like to have 2 kids.

Eminem Denied
Sep 24, 2009 Eminem, Mariah Carey, Radio Station
During an interview with the French radio program ‘Le 6-9’ last week, the host asked if Mariah Carey’s ‘Obsessed’ is a dig towards rapper Eminem. The singer replied with “I don’t even know who that is. I wrote the song and I’m very happy with it. And I’m happy with my new album. So I don’t know if somebody wants to write their little songs. I haven’t heard them on the radio, I don’t know what’s going on with that. They don’t seem to play them here in America. I’m not sure so I don’t know.” Wow. I think that’s pretty much a sign that this feud of theirs will never die.

Oprah felt Jacko was ‘profoundly lonely’
Sep 17, 2009 Michael Jackson, Oprah
Oprah Winfrey said she believed Michael Jackson was “profoundly lonely” as she remembered interviewing the King of Pop in 1993.
In the interview that re-aired on The Oprah Show on Wednesday, Jackson opened up about everything from his plastic surgery, the abuse he allegedly suffered from his father Joe, his love interests and his purpose in life.
“My purpose, I think, is to give in the best way I can,” Jackson told Oprah, before he went on to talk about his love for music and performing.
“I was surprised he was willing to go that far,” Oprah said of the interview. “I see now how profoundly lonely he was.
“I heard and sensed it then but I didn’t feel how lonely he was.”
Oprah also recalled feeling Jackson’s “sense of fear and sadness” when he was talking about his childhood.
One of the last questions Oprah asked Jackson in the interview was how he would like to be perceived. Jackson answered: “I just simply want to be loved wherever I go.”
Jackson died at the age of 50 in June in Los Angeles after he suffered a cardiac arrest.

Chris Brown Doesn’t Remember Hitting Rihanna
Sep 3, 2009 Chris Brown, Rihanna
Chris Brown opened up to CNN’s Larry King in an exclusive interview. It was the singer’s first television interview since he was arrested for the assault on Rihanna. The 20-year old R&B singer admitted that he was still in love with the Barbadian beauty and that he will be affected if she decides to date other men. He was shown a photo of Rihanna’s bruised face and he said “When I look at it now, it’s just like, wow, like, I can’t — I can’t believe that — that actually happened.” Chris also said that he’s now focused on moving forward, saying “I just need to prove to people I can be a role model. That’s not who I am as a person, and that’s not who I promise I want to be. I made a mistake and I — and it was just something I have to live up and own.”

Chris Brown Apologizes Again
Aug 10, 2009 Chris Brown, Rihanna
Chris Brown was supposed to appear on Larry King Live to apologize yet again for physically abusing Barbadian singer Rihanna. I think it’s overkill. It’s not like he’s getting any more points for it. And again, I think it’s too little, too late. If he was really sorry, he would have apologized the second after he lifted his hands off of Rihanna. And apparently, the CNN host thought that it’s not relevant either, because the R&B singer’s appearance was cancelled. Chris’ reps were crossing their fingers that Larry will interview Chris because he has been known to not be so harsh during interviews as compared to others.

LaToya Jackson Thinks Michael Was Murdered
Jul 15, 2009 Michael Jackson, Singer
LaToya Jackson recently gave a no holds barred interview to the UK’s Daily Mail last weekend on how she believes that the people surrounding her brother Michael Jackson before his death were solely out for the late singer’s money and not his well being. LaToya said “Less than a month ago, I said I thought Michael was going to die before the London shows because he was surrounded by people who didn’t have his best interests at heart. Michael was worth more than a billion dollars. When anyone is worth that much money, there are always greedy people around them. I said to my family a month ago, ‘He’s never going to make it to London.’ He was worth more dead than alive.” After LaToya’s questions were dodged by the King of Pop’s live-in doctor, Dr. Conrad Murray, she was more than certain that her brother’s death wasn’t an accident. She said “I believe Michael was murdered, I felt that from the start. Not just one person was involved, rather it was a conspiracy of people.”

Queen Latifah was Abused
Jun 11, 2009 Queen Latifah
In a recent interview, Queen Latifah opened up for the first time about being a victim of childhood sexual abuse. The actress and singer mentioned that a teenage babysitter preyed on her as a child which manifested into difficulties with her adult relationships. Latifah shared in the new issue of Essence “He violated me. I never told anybody. I just buried it as deeply as I could and kept people at an arms length. I never really let a person get too close to me. I could have been married years ago, but I had a commitment issue.” It was very brave of her to share this now.

Eminem Apologizes
May 25, 2009 Eminem, Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon
In a recent interview, Eminem surprised everyone by showing that he actually has a conscience, saying that he actually feels bad about the situation with Nick Cannon. The rapper explains that only after he heard the song he wrote about Mariah Carey did he realized that the lyrics were harsh. Eminem said that he did not expect the reaction from Nick saying “I had no idea Nick Cannon was going to start wildin’ out on me.” Eminem adds that he respects Nick for coming to the defense of his wife and wished them both the best. Who knew that the rapper had a soul?
