Kerry Washington Covers Uptown: Reveals ‘Sometimes I Feel Like I Can’t Do This Anymore’
Peep the excerpts:
On what drew her to Django and the controversy around the movie:
“I’ve never seen slavery dealt with this way before in film. So often it’s a white character who’s the savior of black people.” “We should have a plethora of visions and interpretations of who we are as a nation.” But she admits, “This is not necessarily the film I would make about slavery.”
On growing up in the Washington household and her multi-cultural family:
She still remembers the lively, sometimes heated, discussions on race and society around the dinner table. “My family’s very multiethnic,” she says. “When we get together for the holidays, it is the U.N., across the board.”
On the culture shock when she enrolled in an upper east side private school:
Prior to Spence, Washington thought her working-middle-class family was balling. “We had a microwave and two cars. We had a dishwasher before anyone in the building,” she says. “And then you go to this other world, and it’s, ‘Oh, we’re taking a helicopter to your house in the Hamptons?’ For a lot of classmates, I knew the only other black women they’d known were their domestic help.”
On leaving the entertainment business:
“Sometimes I feel like I can’t do this anymore.” Almost once a year, her hair and makeup folks hear it: “I am done! I’m so done.”
On why she’s no saint:
“If you look at my body of work, I’ve always taken huge risks. I’ve played prostitutes, drug addicts, pimping lesbians. I do work I’m drawn to.”

Mike Tyson ADMITS He Was HIGH ON COCAINE During "The Hangover" -- 'I Was A Mess...I Was A Pig'
Remember Mike Tyson's famed appearance in the 2009 flick The Hangover. The former boxer recently revealed on "In Depth With Graham Bensinger," that he was high as a kite during the taping.
Speaking of his co-stars Ed Helms, Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, and Justin Bartha, he said, "They had to know I was messed up. I couldn't talk. I had the cocaine talk. So those guys are just beautiful people. They had my back, and I appreciate that and stuff, then they asked me to come back [in The Hangover 2]." He added that working with the cast is what helped him clean up his act. Ad to the cast's defense...even a sober Mike Tyson's "talk" isn't that easy to understand.
Also, he revealed that while he and actress Robin Givens were divorcing (yet still sleeping together), he caught her and Brad Pitt returning home together. Robin Givens had the world's heavywight champ and one of the world's sexiest men all at the same damn time!
Mike added, 'I was mad as hell. I was going to...you should have saw his face when he saw me. But Brad's face is still in tact...
Fans of the former heavyweight can catch him telling more wild stories from his past when he hits the road next year. The two-hour, tell-all show was directed by Spike Lee and wlll have Mike talking about his divorces, rape conviction and the time he chomped on Evander Holyfield's ear. He tweeted, "My #OneManShow is hitting the road on a NATIONAL TOUR starting February 2013."
2 Aspiring Rappers Arrested For Trying To Extort & Kidnap Record Producer
Record executives get extorted all the time. But it's a problem when said wannabe record exec is the son of a prominent Goldman Sachs broker and has no problem going straight to the cops.
The New York Daily News reports that on Thursday (November 29th) 27 year-old Jon Fontein, son of Goldman Sachs broker Andrew Fontein, initially agreed to pay 33 year-old Ryan Mixon and 28 year-old Andres Lozano a cool $50,000 to make a record. But, at the end of the meeting the three were having at Pera Soho in NYC, Fontein tried to back out of the deal.
However, sources say Mixon (who is from New Britain, Conn.) and Lozano (who is from Washington Heights) threatened to kill Fontein's girlfriend, and his family, if he didn't come through with the funds as allegedly promised. This is where the struggle increases exponentially.
The New York Times reports that one of the men brandished a gun and forced Fontein to take a cab ride with them up to the Apple Store on 5th Ave and 58th St., where he was prompted to buy $3,800 in products, including warranties.
The next day, Fontein went straight to the police. While Fontein met with detectives, one of the would be rappers sent a menacing text to Fontein about dropping off the money at Pera Soho.
When Mixon and Lozano arrive, the cops were waiting, posing as customers, and they were promptly arrested. The duo was booked on charges including kidnapping, robbery and extortion.
Allen Iverson's Atlanta Mansion Foreclosed & Up For Auction
TMZ reports that the home, which Iverson purchased back in 2010 for $4.5 million in 2010, is being sold at auction on December 4th. According to records, A.I. defaulted on his mortgage payments and the property was foreclosed. The only way Iverson will be able to save his ATL crib, and all of its contents, from being sold is if he pays for it in all cash by the Tuesday deadline.
But considering the VA native with the famed money troubles is in the midst of a bitter divorce and hasn't been dropping buckets on any pro basketball courts, that seems highly unlikely. Unless he sold A LOT of the Reebok "The Question" retros.
Speaking of questions—A.I. paid $4.5 milli for a mansion in Atlanta? His real estate agent is a world class thief.
Nick and Mariah Fighting Over Snide Comments
Livid MARIAH CAREY would like to cram hubby NICK CANNON’s words back into his over-sized mouth, after he made fun of her parenting skills on national TV – and she’s ordered him to put a lid on his insulting wisecracks, say sources.
The “American Idol” judge ruled that her hubby was out of order after he spouted off on Anderson Cooper’s show “Anderson Live” about how he and the 43-year-old superstar are raising their 19-month-old twins Monroe and Moroccan.
The part-time comedian blurted out: “The kids run the house. My wife is being the diva that she is. I’m trying to keep up with them.”
When Cooper asked the “America’s Got Talent” host, 32, who changes more diapers, Cannon proudly pointed to himself and said: “Me!”
While he admitted they both get their hands dirty, he stressed: “I get that duty a little bit more.”
Mariah “was incensed,” an insider told several sources Nick has made diva jokes before, but never relating to Mariah being a parent.
Claiming he was the main diaper-changer made her feel like he was saying she was less than a perfect mother.
“She’s trying so hard to do well on ‘American Idol’ and thinks this will make her look bad.” Mariah signed a whopping $18 million deal to join the “Idol” judges’ panel, in part so she could have a job that allowed her more time with her twins, say sources.
That’s one reason why Nick’s offhand remarks struck such a sour note with his sensitive wife.
“Sometimes Nick lets his mouth run faster than his brain,” confided a friend. “But he should have known he was going to tick off Mariah with his parenting potshots.”
Mariah used to revel in her diva reputation, said the insider, “but now that she’s a mom, she wants to be seen first and foremost as just that.”
“What Nick said made her feel small, and he’s had hell to pay at home. Mariah considers parenting a 50/50 proposition and feels that she changes just as many diapers as Nick.
“She assured me Nick won’t be giving any more interviews like that, and she’ll even shut down his Twitter account before he makes a fool of her again.
“Nick knows that – and it’s put the fear of God into him!”
Nene Leakes Responds To Criticism Over Ebony Magazine Cover
But not everybody was thrilled to see Nene Leakes flaunting her reality show riches while sitting in a bathtub covered in jewels. As soon as the cover was revealed online, Ebony Magazine was slammed for glorifying a reality star, with some readers questioning if the magazine had lost their credibility.
Nene recently sat down for a chat with The Daily Beast and didn’t hold back as she responded to the criticism while saying that African Americans can be so negative towards their own people. She also made comparisons to how her people responded to her success versus reality star Kim Kardashian, who was featured in a sex tape.
Peep a few excerpts:
On the criticism of her Ebony Magazine cover
I absolutely deserve to be on the cover. This cover is about money, power, and respect. And it’s about a come-up story and I’m the one that had that story this year … Not only did I come out as a reality star that was very boisterous and vivacious and outspoken and all those things. I flipped that into money and respect. And a lot of people can’t do that.
On only getting negative feedback from her own race
But listen to me, definitely all of the negative feedback definitely came from my own; African Americans were the ones that were the most negative, and it’s so funny to me because I would call [the editor] over at Ebony and she would say ‘Girl please, glass houses. That’s all it is. They don’t want to see you on the cover, they don’t really understand the reason why you’re on the cover, they don’t know your story.’
On her success being no different than Kim Kardashian’s
It’s true and I know you’ve heard it a million times, [African Americans] just don’t support one another, But it’s OK for you to go pick up a magazine cover with Kim Kardashian. She’s my girl. We are cool. We talk. We do drinks and all of that. But her story ain’t no different than mine. You know what I mean? I might’ve worked at the strip club, but she made a sex tape.
Do you think some people’s reaction to Nene’s success is reflective of the “crab in the barrel” mentality? Unfortunately, not everyone will be happy for your success.
