[ON HER NEW HUSBAND]

"He is a man [and] I don't think I've had a man before. Normally I'm the man," she says. "He makes me feel like a woman, a lady."

THAT'S A GOOD LOOK KEISH

Our girl Keisha was at Floyd Mayweather's (another hot pisces) Bday party in Vegas at Jet. Sources say Floyd danced all night long until almost 4 a.m. and was joined by R&B Songstress Keyshia Cole. When her hit song “Let It Go” pumped through the club’s sound system, the crowd went into overdrive hysteria. Prior to Jet, Floyd dined with 20 of his closest friends and family at the adjoining Stack Restaurant with Keyshia in their party. ***Let the rumors begin***

THIS IS CRACK: New MC Video "Touch My Body"

Mariah Carey - Touch My Body (Video Premiere)
Uploaded by wonderful-life1989

This comes from a certified MC hater. PS loves the fact that the video took the song in a different direction yet it still applied. We were expecting some xrated nonsense. Love the comedic spin. Yet again Janet loses in that JD totally delivered for MC and not her.

B*TCH PLEASE: JoJo

[ON TURNING DOWN THE HANNAH MONTANAH ROLE THAT NOW BELONGS TO MILEY CYRUS]

Another mistake that is stated on the Wikipedia page is that I turned down the Hannah Montanna role because of my hectic schedule. This is not true. I was not interested in doing a television show like that because I did not want to be that kind of artist. I am more concerned with being a legitimate artist; not one created for the captive tween audience, from a television show. They were going to use the same formula that they did with Hillary Duff and her show, and I did not want to be a manufactured artist. I wanted to do it on my own; the old fashioned way; with talent, determination, and hard work, and without a television show, which is fed to the tween masses. This is the same reason I have turned down every reality show that has been offered to me, since I signed my record deal. For me, it is about integrity.
