Feb 26th
Lady Gaga is the cover girl for the April 2010 issue of Cosmopolitan magazine. She sat down with the folks at Cosmo to talk about a full range a things, an excerpt from the interview that I found most appealing was her bit on her ex-boyfriend:
“I had a boyfriend who told me I’d never succeed, never be nominated for a Grammy, never have a hit song, and that he hoped I’d fail. I said to him, ‘Someday, when we’re not together, you won’t be able to order a cup of coffee a the f***ing deli without hearing or seeing me.’
The issue hits newsstands March 9.

On her best music:
“I know that my niche is anthems, and I think that’s what I’m good at as far as songwriting,” she says about the type of music that has made her famous. “Probably the best songs I write are about relationships, and flipping the roles between women and men, and things that women go through. Growing up in a female group and in a hair salon, I have always been passionate about women. I just think we need each other, and the things that inspire me to write songs are things that I think women need to hear. I’m happy to be a voice, one of the many. I’m happy to be, in some way, a role model.
On her hair
“I remember when I started doing my hair myself—I cut bangs, and I started curling my hair and pressing it, literally, with an iron,” she says with a laugh. “The girls from Destiny’s Child, we would put our hair on the ironing board, and iron it, which is so crazy! My mom [who used to own a hair salon] was like, ‘We have to get you out of your own hair, because you are destroying it!’”
On her new fragrance:
She has fond memories of the power of fragrance, thanks to her mother. “I grew up with my mother walking past, and you could smell the faint scent of her fragrance—it always gave me this sense of comfort. I just thought it was so beautiful that she would walk by and leave her scent.”

Jan 13th
Rihanna is featured in the February 2010 issue of W Magazine here is the Quick & Dirty-Fast Facts from the interview:
On Chris Brown
Though she has stated that February 8 was the first time that Brown—with whom she became best friends early in her career, before things turned romantic about two years ago—beat her, she says that in retrospect, there were warning signs. “There were control issues, insecurity,” she says. “When people are insecure they become very controlling and they can get very aggressive and in turn abusive. It doesn’t have to be physical. Like they would say bad stuff to you to make you feel lesser than them just so they would have control in the relationship. It takes a big toll on your emotions and on your everyday life. It changes you.”
On Her Favorite Part of the Day
She is full of sass and teasing sarcasm; most sentences end with a playful chuckle. She loves to blast music by rock ’n’ roll band Kings of Leon and play with her toy poodle, Oliver, who, she explains, is under the impression that he’s a big dog who can protect her from intruders at the Los Angeles house she shares with her closest friend from Barbados. The best part of her day, she says, is “when I’m with my glam team getting my hair and makeup done—we talk so much s—!”
On Writing + Recording ‘Rated R’
The record is a dissertation on her relationship with Brown and its bloody demise, and it has surprised reviewers who had written her off as a talented but manufactured pop sensation. “This was a different type of record for me,” she says in her steady island lilt, sitting in a backstage dressing room after taping a BET show. “It was really personal; it was from me in the most authentic way. It’s like a movie”—hence the title—“in that when I was making this album, every day I was in a different mood. Sometimes I was pissed off, sometimes I was miserable, and every song brings out a different story.” For the first time, she was intimately involved with the lyrics, writing many of them herself and spending time with her collaborators (who included Jeezy, Justin Timberlake and Ne-Yo) explaining her emotions and working on translating them. “It’s still hard to listen to certain songs,” she admits. “Certain ones I couldn’t even record—I’d keep pushing them back [on the schedule].”

Sphere: Related ContentNo, Tiger: Tiger Woods Bares Chest for Vanity Fair
Jan 4th
Fail. Fail. Hairy-nipple fail! I’m sorry but this glimpse of Tiger Woods without his shirt is one Vanity Fair should have put in the vault. It makes me think of the 720932934 women he had laying up under those nipps. This jail house rock rendition of Tiger Woods in a black cap lifting weights will be featured in the February issue of Vanity Fair. I just can’t.
Tiger Woods remains hidden from the cameras, but readers will get an eyeful of the embattled golf star in the February issue of Vanity Fair.
The cover shot shows a bare-chested Woods in a black cap lifting weights. The magazine promises more images of “a raw, unguarded Woods” taken by Annie Leibovitz before the scandal hit, when the issue reaches newsstands on Wednesday.
At VanityFair.com, Leibovitz had this to say about the images: “Tiger is an intensely competitive athlete – and quite serious about his sport. I wanted to reveal that in these photos. And to show his incredible focus and dedication.”
The issue rolls out to newsstands in New York and L.A. on Wednesday and nationwide next Tuesday.
I’m just saying..
I can’t.
I cannot.
I refuse.

Dec 22nd
Trey Songz covers the January issue of Honey Magazine, and he talks about his future, R. Kelly, his show energy and twitter. He’s a taste of what Mr. Invented Sex had to say:
On His Future:
It’s all forward progression. It’s only forward for me. If forward is bigger, better records — most definitely that. But, within moving forward, I plan to further establish my non-profit organization, Songz For Peace and touch people more. Do something with what I’ve taken in with my popularity, with my celebrity, as well as make records that touch people. I’ve got everyone’s attention now. There’s more people watching now.
On His Show Energy:
How do you bring the energy?
I mean it’s through the passion I put into it — from when I step on stage, to the faces I make to get the notes out, to my band, to the way the crowd feels. It’s almost as if I am acting out on a lot of the records and I urge myself to get better at it. I am a showman and I hope to display better showmanship as I grow. Pressure to dance? No.
On Being Compared to R.Kelly:
That comes from me listening to so much R. Kelly. Before I was even thinking to pursue music I would only listen to R. Kelly. That comes from me studying his music. Sometimes our tones are similar and sometimes the inflections I make with my voice is something that he would do, just because it’s my subconscious. And that’s not something that I try to do, it’s just something that is just there. To be compared to who I feel is the King of R&B has never been an insult. I’ve been compared to R. Kelly since my first album.
Have you heard his latest one? What do you think of it?
I think it’s good. I don’t think it’s great. I don’t think it’s amazing. It’s better than the last few albums he’s put out. He has some great records on there. I know I like six off top that I know all the words to right now.
Would you do a collaboration with him?
Most definitely.
