RIP Natina Reed (Blaque)

I am greatly saddened to say that Natina Reed, former member of the group Blaque, has passed. According to online sources she was involved in a hit-and-run accident last night. She would have turned 33 years old tomorrow. Natina left behind a son.
Natina was popular in 1999 for being a member of the group Blaque. They were signed to Left Eye Production a production company developed by the late Lisa "Left Eye" Lopez. They were known for songs like "Bring it all to me" and "808". Natina also featured in the 2000 movie "Bring It On" alongside Gabrielle Union.
I was a huge fan of Natina Reed and Blaque when they we hot. Bring it On is still one of my favorite movies. I knew every single word that was said by Natina and Gabrielle Union. When I use to watch it I would pretend I was Natina...lol
I am sad to hear this news...Natina Reed will be greatly missed.

My favorite Clip Natina did in "Bring it On"

Halle Berry talks being biracial, self-esteem issues, and being stalked by paparazzi

Ms. Halle Berry is 47 years old and looks amazing. She looks young and rock starish in her signature pixie cut as she posing in the newest issue of T Magazine. Inside, she dishes on what it was like to grow up bi-racial (while comparing it to a secret society), as well as why she believe she has a hard time finding Mr. Right, how she felt after she won her Oscar and her continued troubles with being stalked by Paparazzi.  She also revealed that she always felt like the underdog growing up which made her an over-achiever.
Catch excerpts from the very candid and revealing interview below:

On how her mother helped shape her into the women she has become
My mother helped me identify myself the way the world would identify me. Bloodlines didn’t matter as much as how I would be perceived” — as beautiful but also as a black woman in a world in which the images of beautiful, successful black women were notably absent.
On being mixed race
Being biracial is sort of like being in a secret society. Most people I know of that mix have a real ability to be in a room with anyone, black or white.
On her beauty and self-esteem
Just because they see my face doesn’t mean they see me. A person’s self-esteem has nothing to do with how she looks. If it’s true that I’m beautiful, I’m proof of that. Self-esteem comes from who you have in your life. How you were raised. What you struggled with as a child.
On why she is grounded
I come from humble beginnings. I always felt like the underdog. Behind the eight ball. I learned not to be too high on the hog. Even that night I won the Oscar, I had a fundamental knowing, it was just a moment in time. Driving home that night, back to my house, I felt like Cinderella. I said, ‘When this night is over, I’m going back to who I was.’ And I did.
On being hounded by paparazzi day in day out
They’re outside my house every morning, I get it about the celebrity stuff. It’s part of my job to recognize that there’s a certain part of my life the public wants to hear about. But it’s not okay that they’re doing terrible things to my daughter. One night, after they chased us, it took me two hours just to get her calmed down enough to get to sleep.
On why she hasn’t been able to find the right partner
God just wanted to mix up my life. Maybe he was thinking, ‘This girl can’t get everything! I’m going to give her a broken picker.
On why she so desperately wants to move out of America
I can’t grow my daughter in L.A. You take a little child who is just trying to learn about the world and have all these people with cameras chasing after her, calling things out to her about her mother. It’s starting to make her feel special and different. I want her to feel special and different, but not for the reason of being my child.
On what she would do if she didn’t have the press in her face for a day
I’d go to the market with my daughter. Go to Santa Monica Pier and take her on a ride. Nothing special. Just live some normal life for once.

It has been ten years since Drake dropped out of high school, but recently he has decided that now is the time to get his diploma. During the past summer Drake was finishing up the last few classes he needed to be an official high school graduate.

On Wednesday he Tweeted: 

“97% on my final exam. 88% in the course. One of the greatest feelings in my entire life. As of tonight I have graduated high school!
Thank you to my teacher Kim Janzen for spending the last 5 months working tirelessly with me!!”

I am so proud of Drake (My Boo) for taking time for himself. He didn't let the money and fame cloud his mind to forget about education...OnPointCeleb!

Solange Covers Elle Magazine in South Africa

For the shoot, Solange assisted stylist and fashion editor Asanda Sizani with picking out pieces by South African designers that most suited her style.

The Feature writer who interviewed Solange says: 
My interview with her was an incredible experience. We sat in her penthouse at 15 on Orange on the Thursday night and chatted while she had her nails done. It didn’t feel like a formal interview at all, and we chatted our way through the points I wanted to cover. The sense I got throughout the interview was that she is a real person; a young mom who is doing what she loves.

Rihanna talks Dating and Chris Brown

On her Dating life:

I have not been on a date in forever. Like two years. Haven’t gone to the movies, to dinner. Zero.
I would love to go on a date! You don’t think that? I’m a woman. A young woman, vibrant, and I love to have fun. And I have too many vaginas around me at this point. She takes a sip of wine. “Seriously, all I want is a guy to take me out and make me laugh for a good hour and take my ass back home. He doesn’t even have to come up. All I want is a conversation for an hour.”
So what gives?
No one asks. Trust me on that. I’m waiting for the man who’s ballsy enough to deal with me. I’m going to wait, though. You always find the wrong sh-t when you go looking.

When asked about her friendship with Chris Brown, she responded:

There’s some obsession that’s continued even throughout when we weren’t friends or couldn’t be friends at all. Hated each other. The world hasn’t let go. They haven’t seen any progress in our friendship, because they don’t see anything, really, besides the song.
I didn’t think [Birthday Cake] could be anything detrimental to my career. I was on a tour bus ride between two cities, listening to my album, thinking, Oooh, maybe I should make this into a duet. And I started coming up with a bunch of people, and his name crossed my mind. I thought, We haven’t made a song in so long together . . . it could be a little shocking.
So now it’s a bit of a fascination, I guess. I don’t know if people will stop soon, but I feel like as soon as they have closure to it, they will. But they’re not on the inside. They can’t see what I see, unless they’re sitting in my point of view. I guess I’ll learn to accept that.

And if you are wondering why Rihanna doesn’t take a break and continues to release an album almost every year [6 albums in 7 years], her manager Jay Brown had a matter-of-fact answer for that:

If you have a new iPhone every year, why can’t we give them new content?
But I don’t think she’s thinking of it like that. She’s thinking, I love to make music. I want to keep going.

Miguel Addresses Issues and Talk About New Album

While on a promo run for his new album ‘Kaleidoscope Dream’, which hits stores today, Miguel stopped by Power 105.1′s Breakfast Club Morning Show this morning to chat about music, rumors, and hip hop beef. While talking about his latest project, Miguel said that he doesn’t blame anyone for questioning his sexuality when he first came out because his style was so different. He also talked about his twitter beef with Lloyd,  his recent drama with Roscoe Dash over ghostwriting Wale’s ‘Lotus Flower Bomb’ and revealed that you probably won’t be seeing him at the BET Hip Hop Awards again next year.
Peep a few of the excerpts and video of the full interview below:

On the Gay Rumors
You guys know this because you’re on air, people make a lot of assumptions about you. Not necessarily about your sexuality but about whatever. I think at first, kind of getting acclimated to the fact that people are watching and everything you do is scrutinized, I had to take a step back. I think now, when I look at everything, I know that first and foremost [it is about] the music, and I don’t want to do anything that detracts from the authenticity of who I am as an artist. People are going to say what they’re gonna say. You can’t really try to please other people, but as long as what you’re doing is real, then they have to respect that.

On His Style When He First Hit The Scene
Looking back, I did look odd… In the midst of trying to maintain some kind of individuality while being marketed a certain way, I was just trying to be myself in the midst of being pressured to be something that I wasn’t. So I found myself making choices — you know when someone’s rushing you to make a decision? Sometimes you don’t make the best decisions because you’re just trying to keep up. I think that’s what it was. I don’t really regret any of it.
On His New Album
I think this album is multipurpose. My first album was so romance-based and this album is more about like, vibe. I really really hope this album is played at like, photo shoots and inspires people to be creative and do some crazy sh-t in the bedroom like you wouldn’t try. [Whether it's] role playing…[You do role playing Miguel?] Yeah! There’s a song called vixen on my album. If you got that, that explains exactly the role playing. It could be the president and Jackie O. I’ve definitely done that, for sure.

On R&B
I think in general, R&B has gotten really lazy in the more contemporary sense of the word. Like I’ve said before it’s become more like a stereotype. When you think of R&B, you think bedroom or you think sexy or R&B crooner, you know, buzz words. It’s become a ‘this is what it is.’ I’m a huge fan of Trey. I’m a huge fan of Ne-Yo, I’m a huge fan of Usher. These are friends of mine that I’ve gotten to work with, that I’ve gotten to do shows with, and I’m just excited to hopefully inspire non-lazy R&B music. I’m not saying they are being [lazy], I’m just saying for cats that are coming into the game, just to remind people that you don’t have to stick to what people expect to make money [and] to be successful. Be creative.

On His Beef With Lloyd
Get out of here man. That’s so retarded, it’s not even worth talking about. I ran into Lloyd. I spoke to him. I approached him about it man to man.

On Attending the BET Hip Hop Awards
I did catch tension between artists and other artists, like in the middle of a performance just checking other artists that they might have beef with. [Would you go next year?]  Probably not.

On Roscoe Dash Calling Him Out Over Wale’s ‘Lotus Flower Bomb’
Of all people he’s gonna attack the R&B dude out of everybody, right? I have no idea [if he wrote 'Lotus Flower Bomb.'] I was asked to be apart of the song so when I got the song I was told what was written, was written by certain parties. I came in and then I added my portion. I know what I wrote, I got credit for what I wrote, so my business is…that’s all that matters to me anyways. For the next man, if your business is not handled, you hire somebody on your team to deal with that properly. I didn’t say anything that was out of line. He has dope records though.
I mean, at the end of the day if you agree to be a ghostwriter, then be ghost about it.[...]I spoke to him in Atlanta [at the BET Hip Hop Awards] and he apologized about it.

On Frank Ocean Coming Out
It’s interesting the timing of when it was announced. It could have been a marketing ploy, who’s to say. At the end of the day as a grown a– man I don’t really care what the sexuality of the next man is.

I like Miguel he is a real artist...OnPointCeleb!
