Even when I’m not putting records out, I’m making music.” On her new television network NuvoTV: “NUVO is a network that is geared toward the modern Latino. Which is…not Spanish speaking. Yes, we are in touch with our culture. Yes, we do speak Spanish but we also speak English. We grew up here. And there’s no real programming or anything on TV that’s really geared toward that even though it’s a huge demographic.” On why she thinks she intimidates men: She said she thinks it can be overwhelming being in a relationship with her. She said it takes a very strong and self-aware man to be with her and he has to be ok with standing on the sideline sometimes. On who’s her favorite rapper for all time: Nas On how she stays in shape: She credits dancing and working out a lot as to how she keeps her banging bod. On performing in her hometown: Jenny said there aren’t a lot of venues in the Bronx and that’s why she hadn’t performed there. She said Yankee stadium is huge so she wasn’t sure if she could sell it out. On if she has sex toys: She said she had some before but doesn’t currently have any. On working with Chris Brown: She said it was great. They worked in the studio together on the track. She said she loves the songs he wrote on her album.

She said she has security for them and they have a nanny that takes them to museums and things like that.    Check it: And after the Breakfast Club... The sexy 44-year-old singer (who celebrates a birthday July 24th) hit up the "Wendy Williams Show."

She talked about how devastating it was to get a divorce from Marc Anthony after being married for seven years. J. Lo said her children started school this year and have a pretty full life. They’re smart, beautiful and loving…everything a parent could ask for. Aww… Will she be returning as a judge on “American Idol?” She’s not sure yet. With her new album, touring and other projects she has to figure out if she can work it in her schedule.

It’s really a call to action.” Watch "Kingdom":   2014 BET Awards update... The 2014 BET Awards, hosted by Chris Rock, will be held at the STAPLES Center on Sunday, June 29, 2014.

COVER GUY: "The Mogul Next Door" Rickey Smiley Tells UPTOWN About Being The BEST Father He Can & BUILDING His Brand Posted: 19 Jun 2014 06:38 AM PDT Radio/tv/film star Rickey Smiley covers the June/July 2014 issue of UPTOWN Magazine where he opens up about fatherhood, building his brand and preparing for the next phase of his career.  More inside....     Rickey throws up the "hooks" in honor of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. on his dapper cover.  This guy has changed a lot over the years...in a very good way. The June/July 2014 issue of UPTOWN features an in-depth profile of comedian Rickey Smiley, host of "The Rickey Smiley Morning Show" (reaching 10 million people daily), "The Rickey Smiley Show" (his popular sitcom on TVOne), and "Dish Nation" (the highly-rated, national nightly pop culture roundup on FOX-TV).  Inside, he opens up about his struggles, his rise to stardom, the loves of his life and his road to becoming a media mogul. Here are the highlights:   On his career thus far: "I’ve just had some great and wonderful opportunities but my opportunities now are just going through the roof. I have a diction coach now. I’ve been practicing. I read the teleprompter every day so I’m prepared." On today's comedy: "It’s not about telling jokes anymore. You have to be a great storyteller. You got to bring people into your neighborhood. You got to be animated and years of experience [will] get you into that space and you just crack people up. And don’t take yourself so serious. That’s what brought on my success.” On building his brand: "I am excited about building the Rickey Smiley brand. I love having a sitcom and working on the set all day. I love having a syndicated radio show, getting up every morning and making people laugh all over the country and then taping Dish Nation. It’s hard work and that’s what it takes to get to the top and we’re on our way." On his Lil Darryl routine: "Lil Darryl changed my life. It changed everybody’s life. That year every [fraternity and sorority], whoever had a line that year and the year after that and the year after that, somebody on line was named Lil Darryl. Even my Lil Darryl First 48 probably got a million hits on YouTube. Lil Darryl got a vine video that’s hilarious. I got kids that love Lil Darryl that were not even born when I first did it. Lil Darryl has been reborn." On being Steve Harvey's protege: "Steve Harvey put me on. He came to Birmingham and decided he was going to work with me. I was blessed to open up for his [tour] The Kings of Comedy a few times. I would have to be in the hotel lobby early to ride in the limousine with Steve and I was a nervous wreck." On being a father: "I enjoy being the best father I can be and being an awesome father to the fatherless. My dad was murdered and taken away from me when I was 7 so I know what it’s like growing up without a dad. To be able to fill that void for somebody else is just incredible. I would actually pay money to do it." Watch Ricky & Uptown Magazine BTS here:   The issue is on newsstands now.......   Photos via UPTOWN/James Anthony

Lupita Nyong'o Graces The Cover Of VOGUE's July 2014 Issue Posted: 19 Jun 2014 05:12 AM PDT Now that we've finally caught our breath after seeing Lupita Nyong'o's brand new cover of VOGUE magazine, we're sharing all the stunning photos and details from her cover story.   Get it all inside.... If it wasn't official before, it's official now: Lupita Nyong'o has had the best 2013-2014 EVER.  The breath taking Oscar winner is giving life to the new July '14 cover of VOGUE magazine.  And even though this is her first VOGUE cover, chick slays effortlessly. Her sumptuous photoshoot was done in May in Marrakech, shot by Mikael Jansson.  She may have been a serious film student just over a year ago, but now, Ms. Nyong'o could teach more than a few lessons on model behavior. With pics shot in places like a luxe spa that imitates a castle-like fort in the middle of the Palmeraie at El Fenn hotel (above she's wearing a Janis by Janis Savitt silver cuff with Prada red satin heels), chick still outshines the gorgeous scenery. The new face of Lancôme did over 60 promotional events this past Award season, and pretty much shut down every single one becoming an IT girl of fashion.  So it's only right the fashion bible--who's still catching shade for that Kanye & Kim cover--gives her the shine she deserves. (J. Crew swimsuit) Here's a few of the highlights from one of Miu Miu's newest faces-- On her seemingly sudden stardom trajectory “It just feels like the entertainment industry exploded into my life. People who seemed so distant all of a sudden were right in front of me and recognizing me—before I recognized them!” On her first paparazzi experience “For a split second I looked behind me to see who they were flashing at—and it was me!  That was, I think, the beginning of the end of my anonymity.” On her prom dress before graduating from an all-boys high school in Nairobi (that girls were only allowed to enter via placement tests) “It was a velvet miniskirt with a matching little top and an iridescent silver translucent fabric that flowed to the ground,” she remembers. “It was kind of ridiculous, but it was fabulous at the time.” On her Pinterest board she brought to her first meeting with stylist Micaela Erlanger Bold color, interesting print, interesting silhouette—simple but architectural and feminine,” Erlanger remembers. “Elegance, but with a sense of humor.” On their epic six-hour fittings “It’s a job; it’s work, you know! We’d just try, try, try, try, try, try, try. At first it was very daunting, but I ended up really having fun with it.” Their choices have run the gamut from Christopher Kane and Sacai to custom Prada and Chanel Haute Couture. Most times, she adds, “especially for the bigger awards, the dress let me know it was going to be worn. It’s quite scary when you fall in love with a dress, because it’s nothing to do with your brain. It’s like a gut reaction.” On that epic Golden Globes dress “We got goose bumps,” remembers [herstylist] of that fitting. “I told her, ‘This is going to be a game-changer.’ And it was.” On her red carpet life Before she embarked on her fashion marathon, “everyone said, ‘Brace yourself, Lupita! Keep a granola bar in that clutch of yours!’ ” she confides. “I didn’t really understand what they meant, and it was only once it was past that I realized that my body had been holding on by a thread to get through this very intense experience. Nothing can prepare you for awards season,” she continues. “The red carpet feels like a war zone, except you cannot fly or fight; you just have to stand there and take it.” She considers for a moment. “I hope they don’t make that the big quote!” she says, laughing. “Because that would be sad! Tell them not to do that!” “My family is very close-knit,” she explains. “My aunt, who was an actor herself, would get all us children together to write and perform plays. I loved manipulating my parents’ emotions.” On her journey to the Oscar “I had already gotten the nomination, which was truly, truly astounding, and enough,” she remembers. “Even in my dreams of being an actor, my dream was not in the celebrity. My dream was in the work that I wanted to do.” When her name was read out, the experience was, as she recalls, “very confusing, very numbing. I was just repeating my name in my head, so I didn’t know whether I had said my name or they had said my name! And then my little brother screamed, and time was suspended and it was just noise in my head.”   Check out her full story over at VOGUE.  More gorgeous pics from her spread are below:   Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci marigold bodysuit. Spinelli Kilcollin linked bangles. Georg Jensen double bangle. Vera Wang Collection copper trapeze dress. Ann Demeulemeester necklace. Pebble London ring.

PROMO ROUND UP: TLAM2 Cast Chop It Up On "GMA" & “The View” + Michael Ealy OPENS UP About His Son On “Wendy Williams” + Kevin Hart MANS Up For A Roller Coaster Ride On “Jimmy Fallon” Posted: 18 Jun 2014 02:56 PM PDT We are days away before Think Like A Man Too hits theaters and the cast have been uber busy on the promo circuit. Check out the round up of their latest promo stops and interviews inside… The Think Like A Man Too cast has literally been everywhere lately, promoting their upcoming sequel to the 2012 box-office hit. First the guys of the cast hit up “Good Morning America” to discuss the Vegas-set sequel. They revealed all of the characters evolve in the sequel and that this time around the film focuses more on maintaining their friendships along with their relationships. When Gary Owen was asked about his wife in the movie, he revealed working with a white wife was like “Broke Back Mountain” because he’s used to black women. Oh... Check it: Then on another daytime show.... Kevin Hart, Regina Hall, Meagan Good and Jerry Ferrara visited the ladies on “The View” to promote their highly anticipated rom-com sequel.  On another daytime talk show… Michael Ealy hit up the “Wendy Williams Show” on his TLMA2 promo run to dish on the upcoming rom-com and he also revealed details about his son and wife, Khatira Rafiqzada. The sexy actor said the TLAM sequel is way funnier than the first and explained how the girls come together for a battle of the sexes. The couples battle it out in Las Vegas to see who can have the most fun. Wendy didn't waste any time to ask him about his personal life (which he rarely talks about) and surprisingly, he dropped a few nuggets. When asked how he keeps his personal life so private he said, “It’s not really that hard. I don’t live my life in that way. I don’t live my life in the social way. I don’t put everything out on social media. At the same time, I’ve always been private ever since I was in high school. I learned then if you want something to work, if it means that much to you, keep it to yourself.” He then talked about his wife Khatira Rafiqzada and his son, Elijah Rakim. The TLAM2 star revealed his wife is from Afghanistan and they have been married for two years and dated four years before they got married. So how did he spend his Father’s Day? “I had just gotten back in town from the road. My wife went to go get her hair done because we had date night that night, so it was just me and him. We ran some errands, took him to CVS to get him some swim diapers.” Check it: Cute. And last night… Kevin Hart made a press round for TLAM2 on the “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.” Although he’s terrified of rollercoasters, Kevin was convinced by Jimmy to hop on the Rip Ride Rockit rollercoaster at Universal Studios in Hollywood. And the video footage of them on the ride is hilarious. Peep Kevin’s rollercoaster ride below: Kevin also talked about the time he hosted WWE Raw and his close encouter with wrestler Triple H. Check it below:   BONUS: The entire cast met up at BET’s “106 & Park” for yet another promo round for TLAM2 and snapped a cute “usie” with hosts Bow Wow and Keisha Chante.

OH SNAP: Hot 97 LEGEND Angie Martinez Makes ABRUPT Exit From The Airwaves, ANNOUNCES Resignation Posted: 18 Jun 2014 02:14 PM PDT Angie Martinez sent shockwaves through New York City when she announced her resignation from NYC's Hot 97, the legendary flagship station of Hip Hop where her voice reigned supreme for over a decade.  More inside... New York lost an icon today when radio personality Angie Martinez (who dropped a verse on Lil' Kim's "Ladies Night" remix) announced that she's leaving the station to pursue other options.  On Instagram, she wrote,  "Today I resigned from HOT97. I am grateful to the Emmis family for my time with the company and the immeasurable way that it has shaped my life. We made history together in so many ways and I will cherish those memories and my friendships forever. This was one of the toughest decisions I've ever had to make but ultimately it is time to move on, to grow and to be challenged in new ways. Saying goodbye is always emotional and bitter sweet but I am extremely excited about the future. Thank you HOT97 and most importantly....the listeners... for an unimaginable journey. Today will be my last show stay tuned.... Love, angie" Folks have been listening to Angie since..forever.  So it's pretty odd and abrupt for her to make an announcement that TODAY is her last day.  No big send off...for the anchor of the station?  Hmmm...sounds like some drama is going on behind the scenes. We're sure there's a backstory...but Angie is keeping the true nature of her resignation to herself (for now). We wish her well and we'll stay tuned.   Photo via Angie Martinez's Instagram

FIRST LOOK: The OFFICIAL Cast Photo From The Upcoming NWA Bio-Pic "STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON" Posted: 18 Jun 2014 12:58 PM PDT Director F. Gary Gray and producers Ice Cube and Dr. Dre posed with the cast of Straight Outta Compton for their first official cast photo today. See the pic inside.... Cruising into theaters on August 14, 2015, Universal Pictures has just revealed the release date for the highly-anticipated biopic #StraightOuttaCompton. Earlier, we told you about Ice Cube's son, O'Shea Jackson Jr. signing on to play him and now we have an official cast photo featuring other cast members. In the first photo of the cast, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Jason Mitchell and Corey Hawkins star as Ice Cube, Eazy-E and Dr. Dre. The film is directed by F. Gary Gray (Friday, Set It Off,) and produced by original N.W.A. members Ice Cube and Dr. Dre, and Eazy E's widow Tomica Woods-Wright. Will Packer serves as executive producer.  Here's the synopsis: "In the mid-1980s, the streets of Compton, California, were some of the most dangerous in the country. When five young men translated their experiences growing up into brutally honest music that rebelled against abusive authority, they gave an explosive voice to a silenced generation. Following the meteoric rise and fall of N.W.A., STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON tells the astonishing story of how these youngsters revolutionized music and pop culture forever the moment they told the world the truth about life in the hood and ignited a cultural war." Congrats to the cast!   We're here for this.   Photo via Todd MacMillan/Universal Pictures

T.I. DISCUSSES Azealia Banks & Floyd Mayweather Beefs, “The Family Hustle” Spin-Off Shows, His Marital Issues With Tiny & More Posted: 18 Jun 2014 11:05 AM PDT T.I. hit up Power 105's The Breakfast Club this morning where he discussed the many dramatic happenings he has been involved in recently. Find out what he had to say about his beef with Azealia Banks & Floyd Mayweather, his reality show “The Family Hustle,” his marital drama and more when you go inside… The Kang of the South made a stop by the Breakfast Club this morning to promote his new track “No Mediocre” with Iggy Azalea.  And of course, there was plenty to discuss. You’ll recall, Tip was allegedly involved in an altercation with Floyd Mayweather Memorial Day weekend.  So he dished on that, plus why he dragged Azealia Banks on Instagram yesterday.  And, of course, all of the marital drama between he and his wife.   Tip touched on all those topics and started with his beef with boxing champ Floyd Mayweather (he said he doesn’t talk after any of his fights). About his beef with raptress Azealia Banks, he said he has a 'no tolerance policy' when it comes to him and his family.  Meow. As for his reality show "The Family Hustle", Tiny and T.I. will have their own spin-off shows.  So where does that leave their marriage and the family show?  Hmm... And about his reality show "Sisterhood of Hip Hop", he said he created the show for Iggy but she didn't want to star on the show.  Probably the smartest move she's made. TIP pretty much danced around the questions involving his marital issues with his wife Tiny. But he did talk about his Akoo and Hustle Gang clothing lines (making $10 million), his upcoming album Paperwork: The Motion Picture (coming in September) and new projects he would like to work on.  Check it:   Photo: The Breakfast Club
