Lil' Wayne Only Reads The Dictionary?

Here’s what the 5 foot rapper said in a recent interview:

I don’t believe the Bible, nothing that’s written, because nothing that’s written is to be believed… Well. There is one [book] I read and get information from. The damn dictionary.

Yeah, when we be in the studio fussing over a word—no, it don’t mean that it mean this! Go to the Internet, Google that shit. That’s like a normal thing to do around here. Dictionary comes up as one of those little things on my computer.

JoJo Simmons Feels Disrespected!

He says:

"I feel I don't get the respect I deserve when it comes to this music mainly because my father is Run and my unlce is Russell. I understand because of that people want to see me go way harder than most rappers. I might not have the lyrical skills of Jay-Z or the word play like Lupe Fiasco but I'm not half as bad as most of you all comment me as. I work hard every day to perfect my craft in rapping and I have gotten way better than I used to be. I can respect criticism but some people go way to hard when it comes to commenting on my skills. I'm not here complaining or crying about what you all say about me but there's got to be some room for me to grow im a new artist just trying to make it just like all the other artist in the grind. That's another thing, a lot of people don't know the kind of time, grind, and work my team and I have been putting in to get where we are now. We might not be on the top yet but tell me this, if you all know us to comment on us then we must be doing something right."

Can someone get this cry baby a new bottle? Kids these days...

Young Jeezy Responds To O'Reilly's Comments

According to MTV News:

...the Atlanta-based rapper believes writing the song was “necessary.” “I never ever paid attention to any election,” he told MTV. “Not really [into] politics or anything like that. It never benefited us. This time around, it’s not a black-or-white thing — you got somebody in there for us that’s well-spoken and gonna handle their business. I just wanted to do my part and let them know we need change, we need help, it’s rough out there.” “It’s crazy, man, just to see the energy, just to see the support. All these millions of people are here for one cause. Everybody is out here. I got a couple of homies who drove from Atlanta, who flew in from Atlanta. The kids are out here. The clubs are crazy, the parties. It’s big.”

Mariah Carey Upset About Suggested Inauguration Ball Snub

Mariah Carey felt some sort of way about the fact that she wasn’t picked to be a part of President Obama’s inaugural entourage at the The Neighborhood Ball:

Mariah Carey was “furious” after discovering she would be seated for the inauguration of new U.S. President Barack Obama at Tuesday’s ceremony - because she was convinced organizers would allow her onstage.

[Carey] attended the swearing-in and later wowed crowds at The Neighborhood Ball celebration that evening, which also saw performances by Mary J. Blige and Beyonce Knowles. But singer was left disappointed after being told she would have to sit down for the event, as she thought she would be standing with Obama on the podium, according to reports.

A source tells New York gossip column PageSix.com, “Mariah was in the VIP area, where every celebrity, like Jon Bon Jovi, Mary J. Blige, Alicia Keys and Bruce Springsteen, was seated.

“But somehow she thought she’d be up with the Obama family. When she realized she wasn’t, she bailed.”

Chanel Iman is covering the new issue of "Page Six" Magazine!!!

And here’s some excerpts:

On her frustrations at the difficulties that models of color face in the industry:

“It’s not just black girls. It’s ethnic girls in general: Brazilian girls, Hispanic. You really don’t see a lot of Asians either. A lot of designers think that if every girl on the runway looks exactly alike, then people will come to the shows and buy the clothes because they won’t be focusing on the models….It’s not even just runway either… us ethnic girls should be getting a lot of the covers too! I would love to be on half of the campaigns these [white] girls are booking, all looking exactly alike. It’s not right. It’s not fair.”

On rumors she has been involved with Kanye West, rapper Tyga, and singer-producer Ryan Leslie:

“I’m young and I’m dating. But I’m not gonna say any names. There are special people in my life but nothing serious. Just having a man in general is a job! I have one job; I can’t have a second. I’m the type of girl that if I have a man, I want to be a good girl-friend and be there for them and take care of them.”

On her close relationship with Tyra Banks:

“She keeps it real. She tells it like it is. She’s really been a great mentor for me.”

Singer Rihanna Giving Up Singing To Be A Movie Star?

Singing sensation may abandon singing career to pursue alternative dreams.

Rihanna is aiming to match the standards of Beyonce whose transition from singing sensation to screen idol has made Rihanna aim for the movie screens, and she is reportedly ready to take drastic measures to see it happen.

She told a Britain magazine, “I’d love to star in some movies, that’s my next goal. I love my music but I want to get into movies”.

The singer went on to say, “I really like a lot of things but if I had to choose between being the best singer and being the best actress…I would choose acting”.

So far Rihanna has only appeared in a cameo role in Bring It On: All or Nothing and in the daytime soap opera All My Children, but insiders claim she is taking acting lessons regularly.

Jennifer Hudson's Future Looks Bright!

Jennifer Hudson stepped out with a smile to do some shopping in LA over the weekend. While it must have been hard for her to leave Chicago in the aftermath of her family tragedy, it's nice to see her looking like she's in good spirits back in California. We're looking forward to Jennifer's upcoming performances including before the Super Bowl and at next month's Grammy Awards. Jennifer will also be up for four trophies, so hopefully we'll be able to see more of that smile in the beginning of 2009.
