Kerry on what she loves about Olivia Pope
In her professional life, she is so powerful and is this self-made woman…But in [Olivia’s] personal life, she is a mess and I kind of love that…I love that I get to embody all of that complexity because I also think it takes a certain level of progress for us to have a Black Woman that powerful be an emotional mess on television.

Kerry on the connection between Olivia and Broomhilda:
[Olivia] is the answer to Broomhilda’s prayers…I’m grateful that these two women on opposite ends of history, on opposite ends of their experience, both strong women but in such different ways, can exist at the same time.

Rihanna Covers Rolling Stone Magazine (Talks Relationship With Chris Brown)

Rihanna covers Rolling Stone Magazine with the caption "Crazy In Love" on the cover to describe her current relationship that everyone has been following attentively.
In the interview Rihanna goes in to defend Chris Brown saying "He's not the monster everyone thinks he is". She left him so he could understand what he was missing but in the process she was missing him so she went back. Rihanna wanted to be happy and she feels like he is the only person that understands her.

Check out the Highlights below:

On being mad at Chris and her decision to give the relationship another try
I wanted him to know what it felt like to lose me. To feel the consequences of that. But I got real with myself, and I just couldn’t bury the way I felt.
I decided it was more important for me to be happy, and I wasn’t going to let anybody’s opinion get in the way of that. Even if it’s a mistake, it’s my mistake. After being tormented for so many years, being angry and dark, I’d rather just live my truth and take the backlash. I can handle it.

On not being able to talk to anyone about Chris, not even her best friend
I just felt like, why bother? Nobody else is going through it. Nobody would understand.

On how they’ve grown to value each other more
When you add up the pieces from the outside, it’s not the cutest puzzle in the world. You see us walking somewhere, driving somewhere, in the studio, in the club, and you think you know. But it’s different now. We don’t have those types of arguments anymore. We talk about (stuff). We value each other. We know exactly what we have now, and we don’t want to lose that.

On what she loves about him
For a long time he was really angry, and he felt like he couldn’t get away from it, no matter what he did. But there’s so many reasons why I ever reconsidered having him in my life. He’s not the monster everybody thinks. He’s a good person. He has a fantastic heart. He’s giving and loving. And he’s fun to be around. That’s what I love about him – he always makes me laugh. All I want to do is laugh, really – and I do that with him.

On if he’s changed
Of course everybody has their opinion about him, because of what he’s done. That will always be there. But he made a mistake, and he’s paid his dues. He’s paid so much. And I know that’s not a place he would ever want to go back to. And sometimes people need support and encouragement, instead of ridicule and criticism and bashing.

On if she’s trying to rehabilitate him
Wait. You think I’m here to rehabilitate Chris? No, no, no. That is not my purpose. Trust me. I could have done that from the jump if I thought that was my job. My job was to take care of myself – and I did. I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t think Chris was ready.
And trust me – it makes me feel great to know that people care. I guess it’s just something that will show with time. There’s nothing I could say that would convince you right now. But we’re in a great place. And I can’t ever see us going back.

On if he messes up again
Listen, I’ll tell you right now: I don’t have to take it. If he gives me that again, here’s what I give him: nothing. I just walk away. He doesn’t have that luxury of (expletive) up again. That’s just not an option. I can’t say that nothing else will go wrong. But I’m pretty solid in knowing that he’s disgusted by that. And I wouldn’t have gone this far if I ever thought that was a possibility.”

On her love being a sign of weakness
I could never identify with that word, ‘weak.’ I couldn’t have come out of this if I was weak. No way.”

In my opinion when a person begins to realize they have a problem and tries to fix it they deserve a second chance. I give Chris Brown a second chance because we all make mistakes.I wish them both the best. OnPointLove!

In the new issue which hits news stands tomorrow, she also talks about the 777 Tour, wanting to have babies only if she can buy them and her new album.

[VIDEO] Rihanna Shows Us How To Take Quality Instagram Photos

I know everyone will agree when I say Bad Gal Riri take some Bad Gal photos on instagram. In a behind-the-scenes video for Complex Rihanna gives the world a view of how she gets her self portraits to look so well. In the background her track "Pour it Up" is playing.

She tells the magazine:

It’s narcissistic, but whatever—everyone does it. I’m capturing personality…
[...] People take their own pictures, because it’s difficult for someone else to capture what you seek. Get a good light. Get a good angle on what’s working for you that day. If it’s boobs, make sure you hit that. If it’s face, make sure it’s fierce.

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.

Eva Marcille Covers Kontrol Magazine (Speaks on Tyra, Last Relationship, and Future Goals)

Here are some excerpts from the interview:

On advice she received from Tyra
Well, I was lucky Tyra was my manager. I was the only girl who she managed from the show, and she taught me that even though this might be fun and I might like it, that it’s my bread and butter and that this is a business. She’s a business woman and she was the best teacher. Because of her, I’ve been able to stay beyond afloat in this business and make money for myself doing what I love to do.

On if she’s dating
No, I’m focusing on my career. I have 2 dogs and my family. I had a battle last year with my father, he had a massive stroke. So, I found myself buckling down and spending time with my family and working on my career. Once you get done working and spending time with your family, all you have time left to do is sleep.

On if she’d do anything different since her last relationship [with Flo Rida]
My last relationship was amazing. He was a great guy and I had a great time. You grow up, you learn, you change. There isn’t anything that I would do differently; I have no regrets. I wasn’t looking for love when I found my last lover, so hopefully it comes again that way. I’d rather have loved and lost than to not have loved at all.

On her goals for the future
Well, I’ve been doing a lot of writing and creating shows. I would love to sit back and see my shows that I’ve produced and created on television. I created and produced a show a few years back on BET J, but I would love to see them on a larger scale, see what’s in my brain and see my shows come to fruition on the big screen.
