Ciara is interviewed in PAPER Magazine!

In the latest issue of PAPER Magazine "I'm Out" singer Ciara sat for a stylish photoshoot where she evoked a few "punk-meets-Donna-Reed looks" and talked about her close friendship with designer Riccardo Tisci and her work with the Givenchy fashion house (she rocked Givenchy to last night's VMAs).  And if she can't do anything else, this chick can rock a photoshoot.

Also, the "Body Party" singer chatted about making herself more transparent to her fans and shares how her spirituality has allowed her to become more comfortable about her career choices.  Here are the highlights:

On her rapper boyfriend Future:

"He's very understanding. And he's my best friend. It's important to have a feeling that you can talk about anything and know a person's going to be there and support you. When we're together, it's not about who we are. I feel very normal, very safe and loved.

On speaking about her relationship:

"Being able to speak about it is a whole different thing for me. I'm not thinking or caring too much about what anybody has to say anymore. Once you start over-thinking and worrying, you start getting close to insanity. I want my sanity and a life and happiness."

On her style choices:

"I don't wear a dress regularly....but even if I do, you have to put some attitude into it. I like a leather skirt, which gives you some toughness, but a feminine touch too. I like the androgynous thing with a hard edge: I make things rock 'n' roll -- but still pretty."

On her Ciara disc:

"The album is light and upbeat. There's a lot of love in it -- a lot of heart and passion. It reflects the spirit and energy that I'm feeling right now. What people are hearing is my true self-expression and the energy I'm living."

On letting her guard down:

"I thought it was better to be private. You need to live more. If you worry so much about things, your head is going to explode. Just live. Something has to give. I was holding back so much that I wasn't letting myself explore and live."

On the direction of her career:

"I'm making choices I feel good about. It definitely feels good to get love from my fans. I work so hard. I'm hoping to share with other young girls, and even men, to never give up. And I feel like my journey's just beginning. On this journey, there's much I haven't done. I still feel like a little kid. I still have my youthful energy and spirit. I'm super excited by my future."

Cute photoshoot  Fab.

Another Day, Another Chris Brown Twitter Rant!

 NEWS Don’t you just love when Chris Brown goes HAM on twitter? This time his rant was aimed at the “racist a**” Los Angeles District Attorney…who happens to be a Black woman.

Clearly, Breezy is pissed off! It was all good just a week ago when Chris’ hit and run case was dismissed but in order to have his probation reinstated the “Look At Me Now” singer had to agree to do an additional 1,000 hours of community service. Prosecutors believed Brown didn’t complete his initial 180 days of service stemming from his 2009 assault incident with Rihanna.

Brown has to complete his community service in Los Angeles, unlike last time when he had the option of doing it in his hometown in Virginia. Chris’ probation ends in August 2014. h/t Hip Holywood!

Nicki Minaj VS Iggy Azalea

Look all we do here at The Chronicles is CONJURER! Sometime back in May, Iggy Azalea was asked about Nicki Minaj's album "Pink Friday" in an interview with Sony Digital. And according to Sony, this is what Iggy Azalea had to say below:

"I could see both sides and I’m not saying it has to be that way, but it was very rigid in the way that it flipped between the two [sounds]. I like to make the music flow like a river – I’m like, ‘You have to listen to the album from track one to ten!”

Later, it was reported that Iggy Azalea had got heated with Sony Digital stating that they twisted her words. Fast forward to the present, and Nicki Minaj is featured on a Swizz Beatz track titled "Hands Up" which many are saying is a verse directly aimed at Iggy Azalea.

Take a listen to the song here: 

Hmmm? Could that snow bunny Nicki was referring to be Iggy? Lets no be racist Nicki!

Lady Gaga Stretches in the Nude for Pre-VMA Photos

Indulging her penchant for exhibitionism once again, Lady Gaga posed for a series of pictures prior to her performance at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards

The “Just Dance” singer teamed with famed photographer Terry Richardson for the spread, taken in her dressing room just before she went onstage.

Gaga did her stretching routine in the buff before adjusting her nose ring, dipping her buttocks in gold dust, and getting a warm-up massage.

Meanwhile, the Twitterverse had some harsh comments following Lady Gaga’s rendition of “Applause,” including zingers like, "I once watched my golden retriever get hit by a car. Watching Gaga perform tonight was far worse,” and, "Lady Gaga dances like a drunk chicken who hasn't had sex in two months."

On the harsher side, Gaga also received tweets like, "Didn't Madonna do this same exact same performance twenty years ago?" and, "I thought Gaga was 'born this way.' She certainly didn't mind having a nose and a chin job."

Recently revealed blind item claims Michael Jackson's daughter Paris had been fighting off unwanted advanced from one of her uncles.

According to Crazy Days and Nights:

Blind Items Revealed

June 4, 2013

Everyone thinks this C list celebrity with almost A list name recognition has reunited with someone from her past because of want. It is because of need. For the past year and a half she has been fighting off her uncle. The uncle would just take her out to go shopping, and then would kiss her and hug her at the end of the day. That progressed to taking her to lunch and holding her hand during it or taking her shopping for bras. They have gone to dinner and he even had her spend the night at a hotel room several times. In the past few months as she has matured, his advances have been getting stronger and stronger and she has no choice but to stay away.

Eminem Recruits Rick Rubin, Dr. Dre For “MMLP2″

The album is titled MMLP2, and is scheduled to drop on November 5. We’re not rocket scientists, but we assume the title is short for Marshall Mathers LP 2, which would make it a sequel to Em’s critically acclaimed 2000 album, Marshall Mathers LP.

Kerry Washington Teases On The Cover Of Maxim Magazine

Kerry Washington was recently on the cover of Emmy Magazine and this week she’s gracing yet another cover! Kerry hits up the cover of Maxim Magazine Australia. Leaving lots to the imagination Kerry poses in her blue boy booty shorts with blazer and gives you guys a little boob tease. Kerry bumps gums about her role in D’Jango Unchained as well as why it’s more important than ever to educate African-Americans on their history.

Peep the excerpts:

What attracted you to the role of Broomhilda?

I wanted to be a part of this incredible project that represents a painful part of US history but also creates a hero out of it. There were people who fought for freedom and rebelled but we don’t hear those stories. This is obviously not a documentary or a true story but it’s exciting to watch Jamie become this badarse cowboy hero.

Revenge tale that it is, there’s also a love story at the core of Django.

Quentin was always saying to Jamie, “Don’t forget, this is a love story.” I think one of the great things about Quentin is that he’s so complicated as a human being. He is so excited about these exploitation films and yet so believes in the real humanity of people. He is so into blood and gore but such a romantic. These seemingly contradictory ideas that he embodies so fluidly are why his films are so great – because he’s paying attention to both of those aspects.

Do you reckon watching this is a decent way to educate people about African-American history?

We don’t deal openly with the reality of what was done. Partly because it’s so uncomfortable. It’s so horrific. It would take a director like Tarantino, who’s not afraid of that level of violence, to even tell the story. It was that bad. We tend to think, “No, that’s just sci-fi fantasy sh-t.” We all should have seen this coming, though. When you kill off Hitler in a movie, your next project is going to be this.

Kanye West SPOUTS KANYE-ISMS To "W" Magazine On His Ego, His "Sex Tape", His GOD-like STATUS And WHY You Shouldn't Take Him TOO Seriously

Fans of Kanye West know that he rarely talks to the press (because it usually ends in disaster), but the "I am a god" rapper did open up for a lengthy article in W magazine which unveiled his creative process in Paris and revealed the next phase of his artistry (which will be the rarefied upper reaches of design, architecture, and overall good taste). He brags that the goal is, "To make Kanye West as dope as possible.”

Throughout the piece, we see that Kanye does indeed have one of the biggest egos on the planet, but he's also one of the most talented and creative visionaries of our time.  At one point, he yells at the writer, "Yo! Nobody can tell me where I can and can’t go. Man, I’m the No. 1 living and breathing rock star. I am Axl Rose; I am Jim Morrison; I am Jimi Hendrix.”  

Here are the highlights:

On being rich: “I’m not a billionaire; I’m just a millionaire. But I’m the youngest guy I know who has this much interest in design and the ability to actually get some of it. So that makes me an important cog in the wheel.”

On design: “Furniture is my superobsession now. Furniture and pornography, still. The porn thing has never left since I was in high school.”

On Watch the Throne, his 2011 collaboration with Jay-Z: “It was like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates talking at the same time. You know which one of us was Steve.”

On his new album, Yeezus: “This music is made to spark the visionaries to stand up for themselves and help the world. Because the world is fucked.”

On Christianity and Ralph Lauren: “I’m Christian in the same way that people have issues with certain elements of Christianity. It’s like if you go into a Ralph Lauren store, maybe that buyer didn’t do the exact buy that you want, but you still really like that brand.”

On being intimidated by celebrities: “Anyone who meets me for the first time and is not slightly nervous is completely full of shit. Because when I meet people I respect, I’m nervous. When I go have lunch with Tarantino at the Chateau Marmont, I’m nervous. It’s fucking Tarantino!”

On his intellect: “Visiting my mind is like visiting the Hermès factory. Shit is real. You’re not going to find a chink. It’s 100,000 percent Jimi Hendrix.”

On why he wrote "I am a god":  "I made that song because I am a god. I don’t think there’s much more explanation. I’m not going to sit here and defend shit. That shit is rock ’n’ roll, man. That shit is rap music. I am a god. Now what?”

On his narcissim:  “On one end, I try to scale it back,” he says. “Because I don’t want to close any of the doors needed to create the best product possible. But my ego is my drug. My drug is, ‘I’m better than all you other motherfuckers. Kiss my ass!’ ”

On "his" unreleased sex tape:  “For the most part, I’d rather people have one of those home videos than some of the paparazzi photos that get published,” he says. “At least I recorded the shit myself. That tape couldn’t have hurt me in any way if it came out—it could only have helped.” He finally decided against releasing it, but don’t be surprised if he changes his mind. “Now, I just do exactly what I want, whenever I want, how the fuck I want,” West says. “ ‘Fuck you’ is my message.”

On Kim Kardashian as his fashion muse: “Nobody can tell my girl what to do. She just needed to be given some platforms of information to work from. "...one beautiful thing is that as she discovers it, the world discovers it. For her to take that risk in front of the world, it just shows you how much she loves me. And how much she actually loves the opportunity to learn. You got, like, a million companies saying, ‘This is impacting your brand! This is impacting your fans! And blah blah blah.’ But she still sees this light of beauty.”

On his imagination: “I live a pretty interesting life. But the life that I’m living is way less interesting than what I’m thinking.”

On the tattoo on his forearm of Madonna and Baby Jesus: “This is me and my mommy.

On how he's sometimes misunderstood:

“God’s little practical joke on me—as an intellect who doesn’t like to read a lot—is like, I’ll say some superphilosophical shit, but I’ll say it the wrong way,” he says, laughing. “I’ll use the wrong word, so it goes from being really special to completely retarded.”

On how seriously to take him: “You should only believe about 90 percent of what I say. As a matter of fact, don’t even believe anything that I’m saying at all. I could be completely fucking with you, and the world, the entire time.”

On his style don’ts: “Even the greatest tattoo artists in the world have a few bad tattoos. And that’s Kanye West. A few of my past outfits—questionable, you know? But I’m testing. I’m discovering who I am.”

On W’s 2010 cover of a nude Kim Kardashian: “I loved the fact that it happened, that it disturbed people. I loved the fact that it put those curves right inside that Hamptons house, that there’s some Hamptons husbands who had to cover that up.”

On his rock-star status: “Instead of using it to date as many supermodels as possible or to be as much of an asshole at a restaurant as possible, I would rather use it to access great minds. To be able to go to Axel Vervoordt’s castle on the first day that I meet him.”

Kanye West's latest album Yeezus is available now.  Read the full "W" article here.

Tika Sumpter Reacts to ‘Dark Girls’, Recalls Receiving the Backhanded Compliment: ‘You’re Pretty For A Dark Skin Girl’

Actress Tika Sumpter is known for her roles in the ‘Sparkle’ remake co-starring Jordin Sparks and Whitney Houston, BET’s, ‘The Game’ and most recently Tyler Perry’s scripted television show, ‘The Haves and Have Nots’ on Oprah’s OWN network. In response to the premiere of ‘Dark Girls,’ the 33-year-old, New York native shared her personal experiences growing up as a dark skinned girl, the impact of her role on Gossip Girl, and her path to self love. Peep the excerpts below.

Her Family:

It’s important to understand that I was born into a family with seven children, each of us equipped with varying personalities, dispositions, and, yes, skin tones as well. My mom has the most beautiful café au lait complexion, which she shares with my two older sisters and older brother. My three younger siblings have skin tones that range from caramel to a golden bronze. And then there’s me. My mother says that when my father, a striking man with kind eyes, broad shoulders, and deep ebony-brown skin, first saw me in the hospital that day, his eyes lit up brightly as he promptly proclaimed, “She has my color. She looks like me!”

Watching ‘Dark Girls’:

I was recently reminded of my childhood as I watched the amazing documentary Dark Girls. My heart broke just listening to the stories of so many young girls with brown skin traumatized by the cruel and hurtful views of those around them.

Response to Appearing on CW’s ‘Gossip Girl’:

I was truly unprepared for the tremendous impact I’d have while on that show. Each week I’d get the tons of letters from mothers, grandmothers, and young girls literally thanking me for simply existing. They wrote me saying they’d never seen a woman that looked like me on television before.

Reactions To Her Skin Color:

Of course I did experience my share of hurtful reactions to my skin color, but thankfully only after I was an adult. Who hasn’t heard the obligatory, “You’re pretty for a dark-skin girl” Or my personal favorite, “I usually don’t date dark-skin women, but you’re so beautiful.” That one really warms the heart. But in reality, the most disturbing aspect of all of this is that those comments were most often made by men with exactly the same skin tone as my own.

Thoughts On Young Girls Today:

It hurts me to know that so many young girls today are growing up without that same realization and reassurance. I also regret that so many are forced to seek their self-worth between the pages of mainstream magazines or in the background of a rap music video. I’d like to think that seeing someone like me on their televisions every week gives them some hope that things are changing slowly but surely. Finally, every day I’m thankful that I didn’t have to endure the pain that I know so many women do on a regular basis as a result of the color of their skin. My heart goes out to them all. And every day I’m even more thankful for a mother who was always there for me and a father (now deceased) whose first reaction to me on the day I was born paved my path to real self-love.

Tika stars in ‘A Madea Christmas’ to be released later this year and on ‘The Have and The Have Not’s,’ Tuesday nights at 9 PM on OWN.

Paris Jackson To Check Into A Long-Term Treatment Facility

Paris Jackson is continuing to seek treatment at UCLA Medical Center, following a suicide attempt almost three weeks ago. The troubled teen cut her arm so deeply with a kitchen knife in that June 5th incident that the scar is horrifying.

She’s now expected to leave UCLA soon and spend up to three months at an unidentified treatment center.

Paris appears to have no desire to cut herself again, she remains in denial and is fighting therapy. Professionals are warning her family members that they need to better understand the triggers that set her off.

Paris Jackson reportedly tried to take her own life before the suicide attempt that landed her in the hospital.

Rapper Fat Joe gets four months federal prison, fine for tax evasion

rap artist and entrepreneur “Fat Joe” was sentenced today to four months in federal prison, a $15,000 fine, and one year of supervised release for failing to pay taxes on nearly $3 million in income over two years.

The platinum-selling rapper, whose real name is Joseph Cartagena, apologized to his family, friends and fans before U.S. Magistrate Judge Cathy Waldor handed down the sentence.

Cartagena, 42, admitted last December that he stiffed the government and later blamed his problems on “fancy guys in bow ties” who were supposed to keep watch over his finances. However, he took responsibility and said he would pay back what he owed.

Although he pleaded guilty for the two years, federal prosecutors said Cartagena actually failed to pay a total of $718,038 from 2007 through 2010 — which Waldor took into account during the sentencing.

Cartagena lives in Miami, Fla., but earned money through companies in New Jersey — Terror Squad Production Inc., Miramar Music Touring Inc. and FJTS Corp.

He remains free on $250,000 bail and must report to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons on Aug. 26 to begin serving his sentence.

Cartagena admitted he received gross income in excess of $1.18 million in 2007, in excess of $1.28 million in 2008, in excess of $265,000 in 2009, and in excess of $630,000 in 2010.

U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman credited special agents with the IRS Criminal Investigation unit with making the case, which was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Mack of Fishman’s Healthcare and Government Fraud Unit.

TLC Receives Legend Award, Performs Medley at MTV Video Music Awards Japan

MTV celebrated the legacy of TLC at their international Video Music Awards in Japan over the weekend. Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins and Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas were on hand to accept the “Legend Award,” which has only been given to Michael Jackson in the past.

“We’d just like to thank all of our fans and anybody who’s had a hand in our career,” said T-Boz. “We’ve had 20 years and we’re still going and we’re so blessed to be here and get this award.”

She also thanked her daughter Chase, Chilli’s son Tron, and the late Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes. “Three girls, three dreams, and we did it,” she said.

Left Eye’s mother and sister were in attendance. “Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopes is our sister. She lives on forever in this group, TLC,” said Chilli. “I want to give a shout-out to her family that came here to support us. I know she’s smiling right now. I know she has a hand in us continuing on and she’s missed, but she’s never forgotten.”

The duo performed an energetic dance medley of their greatest hits including “Silly Ho,” “Ain’t 2 Proud 2 Beg,” “What About Your Friends,” “Baby-Baby-Baby,” “Diggin’ on You,” “Unpretty,” “No Scrubs,” and “Waterfalls.”

TLC will make its U.S. return at the Mixtape Festival on July 27 in Hershey, PA. They are also working on a new album and the made-for-TV movie “CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story,” set to air on VH1 in November.

Kim Kardashian Having Trouble Breast Feeding

New mom Kim Kardashian is having trouble breast feeding her daughter and is on the verge of giving up trying.

Kim Kardashian is happily bonding with her new baby girl but RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that she’s having trouble breastfeeding her.

“Kim is breastfeeding now but it seems like she’s having trouble,” a family source said about the 32-year-old mommy who gave birth to her daughter with Kanye West on June 15.

“She is planning to keep trying do it for a little while longer but she may end up switching to a bottle.” Hoping not to earn the wrath of Gisele Bundchen, who famously said that breastfeeding for six months should be a “worldwide law,” the source said Kim wants to breastfeed but it isn’t as easy as she thought it would be to do.

“She has been telling friends that it is really hard, so we don’t know how much longer she’s really going to do it.”

Unlike the mom on the cover of Time magazine who breastfed her son for almost four years, the source said they don’t think Kim is going to breastfeed much longer.

“Kim is probably already plotting what she’s going to say when she stops. She’ll come up with a really good excuse I’m sure.”

Rosie O'Donnell Jealous of Kid's Bond with Ex Wife

Rosie O'Donnell is insanely jealous of the bond between her children and her ex-wife Kelli Carperter's new partner.

FURIOUS Rosie O’Donnell has a message for her ex-wife Kelli Carpenter’s new spouse: They’re MY kids!

Insiders say the former talk-show host thinks Anne Steele – the woman Kelli married on June 1 in the backyard of their shared Rockland County, N.Y., home – is trying to steal away the affection of Rosie and Kelli’s four kids.

Now the tug-of-war over the tykes has apparently escalated into an allout feud – at least in Rosie’s mind. “Rosie’s nose id definitely out of joint over how instantly her children with Kelli have taken to their new stepmom,” said a family friend.

“They seem to enjoy hanging out with them a lot more than with Ro and her wife Michelle (Rounds). That’s because they find Kelli andAnne to be more fun.”

Even though Rosie can offer the kids more in the way of material possessions – she’s worth an estimated $100 million – it doesn’t seem to matter to the children, says the friend.

They prefer spending their time with Kelli and Anne, a singer, at their home in Chestnut Ridge, just a 10-minute drive from Rosie’s place in nearby South Nyack. While Rosie is jealous over the fact that the kids – sons Parker, 18, and Blake, 13, anddaughters Chelsea, 15, and Vivi, 10 – prefer to hang out with Kelli and Anne, the reality is that she and Michelle are busy tending to the needs of their new daughter, 5-month-old Dakota.

Adding fuel to the fire is a comment Anne made in a “New York Times” interview in which she said that Rosie’s kids have become her instant family.

“That remark really hit a nerve with Rosie,” said the friend. According to another source, Rosie and Michelle skipped the nuptials, and she wasn’t thrilled that the kids were slated to take part in the ceremony.

“In the end, Rosie relented when Kelli requested that their boys play key roles as members of the wedding party,” the source continued. “Parker escorted his mom through the terraced garden, and Blake walked with Anne.

“It was a beautiful and joyous occasion.”

Meanwhile, Rosie was noticeably silent about the wedding on Twitter. “Normally she’s a fiend when it comes to tweeting and making her feelings known loud and clear,” said the source.
