Lauryn Hill's Shocking Interview

Robin Thicke opens up in a candid interview for the June/July 2007 cover of GIANT Magazine. In the issue which hits stands June 5, the blue eyed soul singer speaks freely about his once waning self-esteem, issues in his marriage to actress Paula Patton, and his fourteen-year ride to overnight stardom.

ON HIS PERSONAL DEMONS
“I understand struggle because I’ve struggled with my own demons, my own ability to love myself. I might have grown up in an aesthetically larger building, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t felt pain. That’s what the whole (expletive) album is about. It’s about a dude who needed to believe in himself when the world said, ‘We don’t love you.’�

ON STRAINS IN HIS MARRIAGE TO PAULA PATTON
“She was having sex scenes with the guy who won Album of the Year (Andre 3000), and I pretty much had no record deal. She didn’t come home during the three months of filming (Idlewild) because she was so focused. I started believing she didn’t need me anymore, and when she came home, I started projecting that onto her and pushing her away. That’s what ‘Complicated’ (a song from his album) is about – me saying, ‘I wish I could stop thinking I’m not good enough because, otherwise, I won’t be able to get this girl back.�

ON BEING JEALOUS OF JESUS
“I was seven years old hearing about how wonderful Jesus is, and I was like, ‘I’m special. I’m able to be righteous. How come Jesus gets to be the Son of God and not me? Why don’t I get to be as loved by God as Jesus was? I believe we should all get to be the sons of God.�

ON THE VIRGINIA TECH MASSACRE
“I started writing this song last night about the guy who did the shooting. I figured if anybody needed love, it was him. He was reaching out, but nobody listened. And, you know, everyone said he was quiet. I started writing about feeling like you’re a shadow. And even though I’m not him, I know what that feels like. There is so much hurt and struggle, so many people who need hope.�

Rapper Eve chats to XXL magazine about being sexy and her return to rapping.

“I don’t mind being sexy,� says Eve.

“There is a fine line between ‘hot’ and ‘hooch,’ and I’m not gonna do it… I never wanted to be the girls I saw when I was coming up. I never felt like I should do what other people already know. What’s the point of paying attention to me if I’m doing exactly what you see every day?�

Beyonce Vibe Magazine Interview

First of all, I don't listen to the radio. If I do, it would be in the car on my way to a venue — but not consciously. I don't go on the Internet. ... Unless I'm approving videos or approving song mixes, I don't go. I don't buy anything online. I'm scared. I don't want to just give 'em my credit card. I don't wanna be hacked ...

Everybody messes with celebrities. At a point, you just have to decide if you really want it. If you do, you have to have a tough skin. And after you get a certain amount of success, you have no choice. Either you're gonna turn to other things to take away the pain you feel, or you have to deal with it and move on.

If it's something about my sister or my nephew or it's something evil, then yes, I'm upset," Beyonce said about gossip. "I wanna kill somebody. If it's a rumor that's vindictive, or something harmful, or something everybody's believing that is completely not true, then it's frustrating because there's nothing you can do about it. If someone misquotes you, or says some complete lie, and then they go back and retract that, people still don't believe you didn't say it. ... So sometimes it hurts. Sometimes I wanna cry. Sometimes I wanna scream. Sometimes I wanna curse people out.
