Necole Bitchie Interviews Ciara Part 1 & 2

Ciara is a Lover. She values the essentials of life more than money; which includes LOVE. The singer is waiting patiently for the man of her dreams. Watching this interview made me love Ciara more than I did before. The attitude she has is wonderful, considering the industry she works in.
I am proud of Ciara for keeping her head up and believing in her dream...OnPointCeleb!

Ciara on how her parents’ 30 year marriage shaped who she is as a person
The way that I look at life is that I only understand the concept of marriage. My grandparents were married for 50 years, so when I date a person, I don’t like to jump fast. I don’t like casual dating, I don’t understand that so well. I don’t mean that in a funny way but for example in every relationship, I may have been around a person for a little second. Most of the people I usually meet them from working or being around them and then it usually turns into something. I don’t really understand the concept of randomly meeting someone and then going out. I have very few experiences like that. So because of my parents, I move slow in a relationship.
Ciara on Love:
I really believe that love is everything. It is so necessary, without love you have nothing. You can’t live without love in my book and in my world. So I look forward to that moment.
Ciara on her fear of not finding Love:
I sacrifice pretty much all of my time for my career and there has to be a balance to it. What good is having success in your work but not being able to share it with someone? That’s not living to me. Having career success is important but having life success is even more important to me. Especially, now more than ever it’s a must.
I look ahead and I look forward to knowing who I am going to spend my life with. I can go rock the stage, but to know when I go home, my baby or my boo is waiting for me, that’s fun and that is the icing on the cake.
On Amar’e's engagement
People don’t know that Amar’e and I weren’t together before you started seeing the two of them together but I have to say, I’m probably more happy for her. I’m more happy for the woman because she’s been very, very, very patient. They’ve had a long relationship off-and-on for years and they have kids together and I think it’s important that if people can figure it out together with the mother and father, why not? So I wish them nothing but success on that. The crazy thing is, when I was like 19 years old, Amar’e actually courted me, just for a little bit, and it never turned into anything and we didn’t go far with it. We met again after my relationship that was before him, and he’s always been a nice guy. Always been very nice to me, always been very respectful and I had a very fun experience. You know, you meet people along the way for a reason and I felt like he and I met for a reason, and we had fun in our experience and there is nothing hard about it.
I’m honestly wishing for him to figure things out the right way in his life. It’s something so positive that came from that, so none of it is any of that funkiness. Everything happens for a reason and I’m wishing him luck. I really am. I mean that from my heart. Who is meant for me will be for me. It ain’t even that serious. No heaviness over here.
On what 50 Cent is like as a person, outside of his online and rap persona
To be quite honest with you, saying that he was my best friend at some point, he is a very, very smart guy. He is very real and sincerely what he is. Like, it’s not a joke. We are not making up what we are in reference to how he is and he is a very family oriented person, all about family.
On the most memorable moment in her career
I don’t know why I want to say winning a Grammy but I feel like it’s not my most memorable moment but it came to mind. It’s one of my most memorable moments. I didn’t appreciate that moment as much as I do now, looking back. Time went on and now I’m like, moments like that, thinking back on it, really makes me feel the need to live my life and appreciate the things that happen to me when they happen.

On what she’d like for her legacy to be
On the entertainment side of it all, I would hope to go down as a great performer. It’s my mission to make a mark in that way. Business wise, in addition to entertainment, I hope to build an empire and build a brand that’s really strong and be able to last even when I’m not doing anything. Eternal success is very important.
I hope to inspire others, and for people to know that dreams are really real. I wasn’t raised in this. Every mistake and every performance has pretty much happened in front of the world. I didn’t grow up singing in church but I had a dream. I kid you not, as soon as I put my mind to it and said this is what I wanted to do, I wrote it down on paper and everything manifested. Everything fell into place. I feel like my experience can encourage anyone to know that no matter what time, or when you figure out what you want to do, its possible. So, I hope to inspire.

Wiz Khalifa, Amber Rose & Her Baby Bump Cover XXL

Amber On Giving Birth:
I’m so ready. I’m going all-natural. I’ve decided that I’m going to have an all-natural water birth. No medicine. I want those bragging rights! The next time Wiz has a stomachache or anything, I’ll say, ‘I popped out a baby all-natural.’

Amber On Wiz:
[H]e’s just a genuine sweet guy. And that’s what made me fall in love with him. And I just said, “You know what, I don’t care if he’s a rapper.” I don’t care if people say, “Oh, you’re a gold-digger.” I don’t care if people say, “Oh, you went from one rapper to another,” or whatever. I love him. I don’t look at him as a rapper. I look at him as Cameron Thomaz, not even Wiz Khalifa. I just fell so deeply in love with him, I didn’t care what anyone says.”

Wiz On Getting Together With Amber:
I love my baby. She’s gorgeous and it makes me look even cooler when I show how much I love her to other people… When I met Amber, she loved me for who I was. I had some money, but it was like to pay my bills and literally set myself up for a future. But I was wearing the same camo shorts and high-tops and Chucks. But she liked my swag and she liked me for who I was and I wasn’t afraid of that… She didn’t wanna date any entertainers or anybody in the business. She didn’t know who she wanted to be with, but she knew who she didn’t wanna be with.

Wiz On Recording His New Album With Amber At Home:
I just gotta do it. The most important thing is knowing that she is there and I have to tend to my babies. This is my first child ever in life. I gotta go hard at everything. As hard as I go in the studio, I gotta go just as hard taking care of my baby and making sure she’s alright, and I’m spending time with her and she doesn’t feel neglected.

These two are so adorable together and Amber looks fierce with the baby bump. It was a good idea to keep the secret for the first five months because everyone loves them even more now. OnPointCelebz!

Lil Scrappy and Erica Pose For Rolling Out Magazine

This is what Scrappy told the mag:

On people thinking he’s deadbeat dad after watching Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta- “They kept saying I was a bad father. That was the one thing that kept getting to me. It was messed up because they heard Erica say one thing, and then they took it and ran with it. I have always been there for Erica and Emani, so it kind of got to me when they would say that."


On why he put a ring on Erica: “It was time for me to do something really grown. So I popped the question and the beautiful lady said yes … that’s why she has the ring on her finger. But now we’re just waiting for the next big step. I wasn’t trying to play around with it for a hundred years. I wanted to do something really big.”


When I saw Scrappy propose to Erica I wanted to cry...Too Cute! Erica was so happy. It was great to see that emotion. I wish them all the best in their marriage.

Boris and Nicole talks "Relationship" in Rolling Out Magazine

Boris Kodjoe and Nicole Ari-Parker, have been together for seven years. The ar aboslutly the cutest couple in the world.The two recently posed for the covet of Rolling Out. They both look wonderful...OnPoint! Photography and Interview by Dewayne Rogers.
In there interview they talked a little bit about relationship and how they make their marriage of seven years work. Take a read and listen to some of the tips they give, it may help in your relationship.

Highlights of the interview:

On the easiest and hardest part of parenting and marriage
Nicole: Being a parent is the hardest job ever in life. Raising children uses every bit of your being — your heart, your time, your patience, your foresight, your intuition to protect them, and you have to use all of this while trying to figure out how to discipline them. It takes its toll on a marriage as well. The time that should be spent with each other after the kids have gone to bed is usually spent face down, in your clothes, on the sofa with the remote control in your hand. It’s exhausting  …  but we’ve been married for seven years, and I think that the greatest challenge but also the greatest gift, is understanding that I’m way more capable than what I think I am.  You have to work hard not to take your partner for granted, even when you are tired.  We have a special needs child, so we also have to get up in the middle of the night and check on her.  So, I’ve been pushed to the limits that I thought I had, and I’ve gone beyond those … that’s been the greatest gift throughout this journey with my husband.
Boris: As far as our marriage goes, again it’s all about priorities. We make sure that we put in some sexy time, and we go out on date nights and spend quality time together, because we were here first.  Everything else is a reflection of that. If she and I are good, then everything else is good. So it’s very important that we put in the time to cherish each other.
Boris On How He knew Nicole was the one
We had instant chemistry, and right away there was an attraction, but it was more on a spiritual level. I knew right away that she was going to be in my life forever. I didn’t know in what capacity, but I just felt that. That just happens when you meet a person that is on the same wavelength. We saw eye-to-eye on so many things. She was open minded, well traveled, and had a great sense of humor — which are all very important to me. The fact that she became my wife was definitely a bonus. It worked because we were friends and liked each other as people first, which is very important in a relationship. You can fall in and out of love, but if you like each other as people, then I think that’s a great foundation to grow a relationship, and we had that, so I’m very lucky.
Nicole, finish the sentence: ‘My husband makes me feel beautiful when…’
Nicole: When he looks me right in the eye.
Boris, ‘My wife makes me feel like the king of the world when…’
Boris: My wife makes me feel like the king of the world when after a long day of working she tells me to put my feet up and cooks an amazing meal for me.
“I’m a better person today than I was before marriage because…”
Boris: I’m a better person today than I was before marriage because my wife makes me a better man.
Nicole: I’m a better person today than I was before marriage because I get to care about one of the greatest human beings on the planet.

Trey Songz Letter To Family, Friends, and Angels!

I was in bed last night unable to sleep so I decided to play around with my phone. I saw the Trey Songz email titled "From My Heart". I opened it and began reading, I thought that was the cutest email ever. I know that his angel's will be touched when read this. I respect Trey Songz for his effort to make his fans feel loved...OnPointCeleb! 

Read the letter below...

From My Heart…

I want to share my deepest feelings with you on how appreciative I am to have fans, friends, Angels and loved ones like you all. This journey I began over 10 years ago has taught me so much. It has given me the faith to believe, the strength to overcome and courage to wear my heart on my sleeve for you. I don’t ever take it for granted that every album, ticket, t-shirt and download you buy, every tweet you send, every song or video you request, and every person you’ve ever said my name to is a blessing and gift of your love to me. Just think about how far we have come. How purpose, persistence, and passion for what we love has brought us to this point. Our Angels with Hearts foundation has given hope and opportunity to so many people around the world. We’re changing lives together, we’ve elected a president together. We’ve toured South Africa, Europe, Australia, Asia and more. Each of you have truly been part of my growth from a boy to a man.

Sharing the tears from my mother's eyes, as she tells me how proud she is of me. Sharing the tears from my eyes as I realize what she sacrificed for me to do what I do. I would not be if it wasn’t for the love we all share for one another.

What makes a true fan? Well, as one Angel put it, "I believe that an Angel believes in the power to make a difference. Through the music that she loves, she gets inspired. Through the stories that she hears in their lyrics, she relates to her life. Through the sweat and tears at every performance, she feels a sense of mutual love and respect, the give and take! A true fan doesn’t buy into the material, they buy into the emotional. I’m a fan, but I live my life as an Angel. Empowered by Trey to Make a Difference."

Because I hear the stories all around the world, I just wanted to say Thank You for another opportunity to give each of you a part of me. I promise to love, I commit to make a difference, and I will never take you for granted.

Love,
Tremaine

Micheal Ealy Admits That He Was Attracted To ‘Crazy’ In Relationships

 This man is beautiful. He gets personal with Upscale check it out below.

 Small piece of the Upscale article...

On why his past relationships never lasted long
I think there was a part of me that was just attracted to the crazy. I tended to involve myself with women that brought drama. And I had a bit of a savior complex. I thought I could save them from whatever daddy issues or cheating issues [they had].

On why he can’t date any women within the industry
I’ve been done with [dating industry women]. You do it for years and years and years—theater, television, film. It’s a workplace thing… But the difference for me now is that I’m mature enough to know that this is a work thing. The minute we stop production, I’m not going to feel this way anymore.

Oprah writes a letter to her 19-year-old self

Dear beautiful brown-skinned girl,

I look into your eyes and see the light and hope of myself.

In this photo you are just about to turn 20, posing outside the television station where you were recently hired as a reporter. You're proud of yourself for getting the job, but uncertain you'll be able to manage all your college classes before 1 and arrive at the station by 1:30 for a full day's work. Even so, your biggest concern is how to manage your love life with Bubba. Yes, you are dating someone named Bubba.

On this day you've brought him to the station to see where you work, hoping he'll be proud, too. He seems less than impressed. The truth is, he's intimidated. You don't know this, though, because you can see yourself only through his eyes. A lesson you will have to learn again and again: to see yourself with your own eyes, to love yourself from your own heart.

You've spent too many days and years trying to please others and be what they wanted you to be. You will have to learn that the wounds of your past—rape, molestation, whippings for "stepping out of place," and not being allowed to show anger or cry afterward—damaged your self-esteem. Yet through it all, you've held on to a belief in God and God's belief in you.

That will be your single greatest gift: knowing there is a power greater than yourself and trusting that Force to guide you.

The trajectory of your life changed the day you answered the call from Chris Clark, the news director at WLAC-TV. Your response was ignited by the words of your then-favorite Bible verse, Philippians 3:14. "I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."

Knowing there is a "high calling" is what will sustain and fulfill you.

From where I sit now, viewing your journey, there are few regrets. Only months before this picture was taken, you wrote a poem about a "woman becoming." Even then you understood that success was a process and that moving with the flow of life and not against it would be your greatest achievement.

Love you deeply,

Oprah

Oprah recently told her bestfriend Gayle in an interview with CBS This Morning:

"The idea of creating a network was something that I wanted to do. Had I known that it was this difficult I might have done something else."

When asked if there is ever a time she says to herself, “I don’t need this’, she responded:

"[...] There’s never going to be a time to quit. I will die in the midst of doing what I love to do and that is using my voice and using my life to try and inspire other people to live the best of theirs."

After discussing the negative press she’s received this year, she gave this little gem of advice:

"I like to say this to everybody, [...] because you failed does not make you a failure and when you know that in the core of yourself, you can keep trying or you can use whatever happening in that moment to say, “Maybe I need to move in a new direction.” Actually, I feel better about out network OWN today then I ever have."

This is AMAZING...So inspirational and Motivational...OnPointCeleb!

VIDEOZ: Snips from the "Houston Family Interview"

For me this was very emotional. I like the fact that Oprah was cautious about her questions throughout the whole interview. Here are some snips from the interview which premiered last night.

Oprah Talking with Bobbi Kristina.

Rihanna Dishes About Her Dating And Sex Life On The Ellen Show

Here is a snip it of the interview: 

Rihanna: “I’m not dating anyone right now. I’m not dating at all.”

Ellen: “I would think you would be intimidating to men. First of all, having the title ‘The Sexist Woman Alive” (From Esquire Magazine) I don’t know if you wear a banner or what happens. Is there a crown? When you’re the “Sexist Woman Alive” men are going to be intimidated. How do you guys…Are they scared of you?”

Rihanna: “I would say at times it can be intimidating but then it’s no good. I can’t have guys that are intimidated by me. I like men that are more aggressive but mysterious but I like a man to be very sure. I like them to be sure of them selves and know that you’re the man. I’m the lady and the only way for us to make this work is for us to play our roles. You know, I can’t really be the man for you. I don’t want to have to be. I’m the man at work all the time.”

Ellen: “I think especially for a powerful woman and you make a lot of decisions the whole day. Your Work is to make decisions. You want somebody else to take control and make those decisions in a relationship. And that’s hard to find a guy who’s not going to be intimated by the power you have. And, realize there’s got to be another side.”

Rihanna: “Definitely. It can be difficult but I think really right now, I’m not giving the time. I don’t have the time. I’m not necessarily happy being single. It’s not really that cool. It sucks but it is, what it is. Let me say this right, because I don’t want to make it seem like, my work is my everything. I do put a lot into my Jobs. Most of my time if not all of it. It definitely affects my personal life. My personal life is pretty much non-existent. Which is not good, not for the long run. Not for me, not for “her” [points to in-between her legs] It’s not fun.”
That’s why I stay on Twitter a lot. So I can conversate with my fans. Because I don’t get any booty calls.”

Ellen: [laughs] So many things to say right now, but I won’t.

The full episode will be airing Monday, November 20th.
