Ciara Suits Up For ANNEX Magazine's "Diane" ISSUE, Says Her MUSIC Is "Completely Open"
In a beautiful pair of black and white photos shot by Bradford Rogne, Ciara looks stunning on the double cover of Annex magazine’s 2013 "Diane" issue. Inside the mag, she talked about the release of her buzz-worthy track, "Body Party," (dropping on iTunes March 12), her boo Future and how her upcoming album, One Woman Army, reveals her vulnerable side.
Here are some highlights:
Typically you have to drop a pretty penny to be able to get a peep show like this but we here at PoWM know how hard it is to get back to work on Mondays so we’ll cover the bill and just consider this a gift from us to you….a big hairy side-titty gift.
About One Woman Army
“I am approaching this record in a different way than I have any other project before. While recording “One Woman Army” I have been running towards my fears and allowing myself to be vulnerable in many ways; for the first time I allowed myself to be completely open in the music making process. I can honestly say this is the most fun that I’ve ever had making an album.”
Ciara’s inspirations
“I really love listening to artists like Lana Del Ray, Kendrick Lamar, Drake just to name a few. However, I continue to find inspiration from the generation of greats such as Michael Jackson, Prince and Madonna.”
Oh, I guess she saying Janet isn’t one of them???
Check out some outtakes from the shoot....
Ciara's "DIANE" issue of ANNEX Magazine will be available on March 18.
Dj Whoo Kid chops it up with Lil Kim
If you’re anything like us, confirmation of a new Lil Kim album would have marked one of the most exciting pieces of news to come this year.
So, you can imagine our excitement when she caught up with DJ Whoo Kid to dish on the forthcoming project and a number of hot topics surrounding her come back.
From her tough upbringing, her plans to reinvent herself to her feelings towards former love rival Faith Evans, the interview also sees her address her problem with ‘Street King‘ genius 50 Cent and the truth behind her departure from Atlantic Records.
The Queen B’s story below!
Interviews like these serve as a reminder as to why there was once was a time that everyone loved Kim. So she has us all too excited for the next era of her career, whatever it brings commercially.
Let’s just hope she surrounds herself with folk with the means to give her new material the fire power she deserves- ie videos, media appearances, radio etc.
The Secret Files: Beyonce, Hilary Clinton and Others Stars and Dignitaries Hacked ?
This is pretty serious. Jay-z, Beyonce, Hilary Clinton and others have been hacked and I am not talking exposing emailes and telephone numbers. I’m talking a culprit who has posted detailed information about what appears to be their finances … and law enforcement is indeed on the case.
According to TMZ : The website is Exposed – The Secret Files
And the site’s content keeps growing: it added info about Hulk Hogan and Sarah Palin shortly before 10:30 p.m. Monday night.
The site’s main page, titled “The Secret Files,” has a picture of a gaunt teenage girl in zombie-like makeup shushing the viewer. Music from Showtime’s “Dexter” plays in the background as visitors are invited to click on a celebrity’s name and receive info including addresses, Social Security numbers, mortgage accounts and credit card numbers and bank accounts.
Some of the pages feature embarrassing pics of the celebs and political heavyweights.
Visitors to the site’s Kim Kardashian page, for example, were greeted by a picture of Kanye West’s baby mama crying before they were able to check out her Social Security number, address, six previous addresses and credit report. Beyoncé’s page has a picture of President Obama crying. She is a big supporter of the President.
“If you believe that God makes miracles, you have to wonder if Satan has a few up his sleeve,” the website says.
Vice President Biden, too, but his info defenses put up a better fight, as not as much of his personal financial details were clipped.
The site, which had an Internet suffix originally from the Soviet Union, was still online late Monday night and had more than 42,000 visitors, according to its own counter.
“The incident with (LAPD Chief Charlie Beck) is being looked at by detectives,” an LAPD source told the Daily News. “His personal information was posted.”
The FBI is aware of the hacker’s handiwork and the website, a spokesman told the Daily News. But the agency would not confirm or deny that it’s investigating the hacking, which was first reported by TMZ.com Monday.
The hacker was not able to seize a great deal of info on Biden and Clinton, the former secretary of state and oft-speculated contender for the Democratic nomination for President in 2016.
Jada Pinkett Smith Says We Are Bullying Justin Bieber: ‘Does That Render Being Called A C*nt?’
Jada Pinkett Smith wants you and I to take a step back and remember how it was to be young again. In fact, she challenges us to reflect how it would feel to be young, with the entire world and microscope upon us, 24 hours a day. She’s penned a lengthy letter on Facebook, asking the public to answer a few questions about how we judge and taunt young Hollywood celebs and stars–like Justin Bieber, Rihanna and Taylor Swift.
She wrote:
Are we bullying our young artists? How can we ask for our young stars to have a high level of responsibility if we are not demonstrating that same level of responsibility towards them? This last week, I had to really evaluate the communication in regard to our young artists in the media. I was trying to differentiate cyber-bullying from how we attack and ridicule our young stars through media and social networks. It is as if we have forgotten what it means to be young or even how to behave like good ol’ grown folk. Do we feel as though we can say and do what we please without demonstrating any responsibility simply because they are famous? Is it okay to continually attack and criticize a famous 19 year old who is simply trying to build a life, exercise his talents while figuring out what manhood and fame is all about as he carries the weight of supporting his family as well as providing the paychecks to others who depend on him to work so they can feed their families as well? Does that render being called a c*nt by an adult male photographer as you try to return to your hotel after leaving the the hospital? Or what about our nine year old beautiful Oscar nominee who was referred to as a c*nt as well? Or what about being a young woman in her early twenties, exploring the intracacies of love and power on the world stage? And should we shame a young woman for displaying a sense of innocence as she navigates through the murky waters of love, heartbreak, and fame? Are these young people not allowed to be young, make mistakes, grow, and eventually transform a million times before our eyes? Are we asking them to defy the laws of nature because of who they are? Why can’t we congratulate them for the capacity to work through their challenges on a world stage and still deliver products that keep them on top. We all know how hard it is to keep our head above water, even in the privacy of our own homes let alone on the world stage. Imagine yourself, at their age, with the spotlights, challenges and responsibilities. Most of us would have fallen to the waste side before we could even get to a crashed Ferrari, a controversial romance, several heart breaks, or an Oscar nomination at NINE. We WISH we could have had the capacity to accomplish HALF of what they have accomplished along with ALL these challenges they face. But…maybe THAT’S the problem…we WISH we could have or even…we WISH we could. Happy Sunday.j
What are your thoughts on her take on how unfair the public and media can be to young celebs? Does she have a point? Or should they be held to a higher standard?
Joseline Hernandez Gets Put on BLAST From Her Ex-Boyfriend’s Sister Jade McFadden
Looks likes your girl Joseline Hernandez has been put on blast by Jade McFadden. Jaden tells my boy over at Gossipwelove about the real deal on Ms. Joseline. Jade reveals how “Love and Hiphop Atlanta” changes Joseline’s personality.
During the interview, Jade tells GWL that on the first season of the VH1 hit show, Joseline created quite a buzz after she was spotted sporting a huge diamond engagement ring– hinting the ring was bought by her former manager Stevie J. and failed to tell fans that the ring was actually paid for by her ex-boyfriend Keith McFadden (who is the CEO of BTB “Break the Bank” Music Group, which was signed to Universal).
Check out the full interview below:
How long have you been in the PR business and how long were you a PR rep for Joseline:
“I would say about 1 year. I’ve done PR/Marketing/Promotions for Joseline since the first season of LHHATL. Joseline is my brother, Keith McFadden’s (CEO of BTB Music Group, which was signed to Universal) ex-girlfriend of about 5 years.
So, I was doing PR/Marketing and promoting before I met Joseline in 2009.”
How would you describe Joseline including her personality:
“Feisty, Spicy, Afro-Puerto Rican Diva. Joseline pre-LHHATL seemed a little bit more down-to-earth”
We all know that Joseline is sorta controversial and because you were her PR rep, do you feel she was responsible for releasing a nude pic of herself to prove a point or was it just to get some publicity?
“Me & Jos used to be super close, she would always call me her little sis. We’re not as close as we used to be because things have changed. We really haven’t spoken since last year. That’s life though! People change, things change…so, hey…
I think she did it to prove a point, however, I had no clue she would release that nude picture.”
Earlier you mentioned that she used to date your brother, do you know if the break up was because of Stevie J?
“No, it wasn’t because of Stevie J. It was because of something else, which at this time, I can’t speak on. (Legal Matters)”
Okay I understand, and i’m guessing that the legal issue caused you both to go your separate ways? …..And were they ever engaged?
“I will tell you this though, the diamond ring that Joseline wears is a ring that my brother bought her for Christmas in 2009. This is a fact. She showed me at my parents house when she came home with my brother for Christmas.
She has worn that ring on almost every single episode of LHHATL. She wears it to events and flaunts it around with Stevie J, as if Stevie J had bought it for her “Publicity Stunt” & people thought that they were engaged. Smh.
She then added:
And no, she & my brother were not engaged at the time. Also, you see how on the reunion they didn’t mention the ring? That’s because she knows that I know the real truth. Maybe she asked Mona not to mention the ring, I’m not sure.
Wow, I thought Stevie had bought her that ring too. Thanks for clearing that up!
“Exactly, Stevie did NOT buy her that ring, that’s why I wanted to clear it up too. Joseline also had or have a tattoo of my brother’s name with BTB tattooed on her back.”
So did you knew that she was a stripper and spoke highly about it? And was she stripping while she was with your brother?
I’m not going to say anything negative about Jos, but I’m am going to be truthful. I remember when I first met Jos, we hung out a little, talked, & she cooked a little at my dad’s house. She loves to make egg whites.lol Like, that episode on LHHATL, when she cooked at her house.
Yes, I knew she was a stripper, but I didn’t find out until after I met her for the first time. I googled her name, but I googled her alias name “Shenellica“.
I do remember a time, where she asked me to hang out & visit her in ATL & she would joke around and ask me if I wanted to go to a strip club, because I had never been to one, & I don’t think I ever will.lol I’m a bit reserved.
Joseline was part owner of a clothing store so I researched. I’m a fashion stylist & she was into fashion also. But in any event, I like to research any woman my brother dates because I’m very protective of my brothers.
On the show we saw Joseline and Stevie’s baby mama Mimi Faust locked in a love triangle. Have you ever known Joseline to be the type to sleep with another person’s man and be blunt about it?
“Well, I didn’t think Jos was that type of person, but I do know that she’s had a tough childhood, so she’s all about her money!”
Do you knew that Joseline was Bi-sexual:
“No, I didn’t even know she was a so-called “Bi-sexuall” until the show.”
And do you feel Joseline has changed since she started dating Stevie J and joined Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta?”
Yes, I do feel as though she’s changed. I’ll be honest, my mouth dropped after I saw the first episode. I was speechless! I was like that is not my sis “Jos”! She was different. She seemed a little bit “Extra” Cha-Cha on 1000! Smh
But do you think Joseline is still dating stevie J, because she recently announced that their over (AGAIN) and keeps calling him gay on Twitter. Do you think Stevie is also Bi?
“I don’t know Stevie J personally, but this is why I think you shouldn’t date your client. Business & pleasure doesn’t mix very well, clearly.
Jos & Stevie are always going back & forth. Joseline may or may not get back on Stevie’s bus again, but she knows that Stevie has connections in the industry, so she’ll probably stick around.”
Do you feel you’ll ever work with her again?
Maybe sometime in the near future. We’ll see . I hope we can get back to how we used to be, but if not, I hope she gets back to the old Jos (Be honest, loyal, & humble). I’ve been asked to do a couple of different tv projects, so who knows. Never say never.
Jade then chatted about Joseline’s red fur coat and the upcoming season two of “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta”:
I think this upcoming season will be crazy. Let’s see how much is true & how much is false!
Also, that fur jacket that Jos mentioned or as she calls it “Furrer” lol… She already had that jacket before she was with Stevie. She had that when she & my brother were living together. Stevie, from what was said, didn’t have much money then.
Plus, Jade tells us that the 26 year-old reality star and aspiring singer moved to the US from Puerto Rico when she was younger, and lived in Miami with Keith before moving to Dallas then Atlanta.
On if there is anything you want to add:
No, I don’t think so. I just want people to know that they shouldn’t always believe everything on tv. The truth will set you free and also, one more thing, documentation beats conversation I know the truth, have the truth, & speak the truth. I’m known as the “Little, Sweet, Southern, Pint-Sized Fireball”…

David Bowie Slept With Mick Jagger, Ex-Wife Confirms
David Bowie‘s ex-wife has claimed that her former husband had romped rock legend Mick Jagger. Angie Bowie finally came out to recall the time she came home and discovered the two in bed together back in 1973; the two were said to have been completely wasted, but she’s sure that the two got it on together.
The interview she gave with The Sun is so juicy, it’s almost too good to be true. Ha. Not only does she expose Bowie’s relationship to Jagger, she also states that she almost arrived late to her wedding with David because they had a THREESOME the night before and suffered from a bad hangover. YIKES!!
“They were not only in bed together, they were naked,” she told The Sun. “My assistant was laughing in the kitchen when I got home. She said, ‘You won’t believe this. David and Mick Jagger.’I said, ‘Right then, put the kettle on’. I went upstairs and banged on the door and said, ‘Morning! Ready for breakfast, boys?’I walked into the bedroom and David was there with all these pillows and duvets on top of him and on the other side of the bed was Mick’s leg sticking out. I said: ‘Did you guys have a good night?’. They were so hungover they could hardly speak. I took pity on them.”
Now, it’s coming across as if she was just trying to get herself on a few bucks by selling out her former husband, because let’s not forget, these two split up in 1980 after their ten years of marriage. And when you consider the fact that Bowie is gearing up to release a new album later this year, you question yourself why she comes out with all of this now. We’re not complaining, but it’s just odd! For all we care, we want MORE, MORE, MORE!! LOL
“David was big on threesomes with both men and women,” she said. “The whole nine yards. And I was right in there. The night before our wedding it was a mutual friend of ours. We went out for dinner, back to her place and had plenty of lively sex. We had a very late night and didn’t go to bed until 3am or 4am. Then we woke up late in north London and had to be in Bromley by 10am to get married. We just about got there in time and staggered in.”
Wowza! Seems like she was a fun wife.
Nicki Minaj Begins Work On Third Studio Album
With 1.5 million units sold worldwide and over 18 million singles sold worldwide, Nicki Minaj fans accepts that the ‘Roman Reloaded‘ era is now over.

— Nicki Minaj (@NICKIMINAJ) March 10, 2013
Confirmation of her studio return comes less than a year after the release of ‘Reloaded’ which debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, birthing the Gold single ‘Beez In The Trap’, the Quadruple Platinum single ‘Starships‘ ‘.
While we’re hoping this album sees the return of Minaj the storyteller,
Well…just as long as this new material comes without a thousand lines reminding ‘b*tches’ that they’re her sons, marks the return of Barbie and digs far deeper into Roman’s character and sexuality. I guess.

Ex Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick Convicted of Racketeering
And it sucks for former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. he was convicted of corruption charges, after Jurors convicted Kilpatrick of a raft of crimes, including racketeering conspiracy, which carries a maximum punishment of 20 years behind bars. He was portrayed during a five-month trial as an unscrupulous politician who took bribes, rigged contracts and lived far beyond his means while in office until fall 2008. According to reporters, Kilpatrick wore a surprised, puzzled look when U.S. District Judge Nancy Edmunds read the jury’s verdict: guilty of 24 charges, not guilty on three and no consensus on three more.
Kilpatrick declined to speak to reporters as he left the courthouse. Internal Revenue Service agents said Kilpatrick spent $840,000 beyond his mayoral salary. Kwame Kilpatrick, who now lives near Dallas, declined to testify. He has long denied any wrongdoing, and defense attorney James Thomas told jurors that his client often was showered with cash gifts from city workers and political supporters during holidays and birthdays. The current mayor, Dave Bing, said the verdict would allow the city to move on from
“this negative chapter in Detroit’s history. It’s time for all of us to move forward with a renewed commitment to transparency and high ethical standards in our city government.”
Kilpatrick, 42, was elected in 2001 at age 31. He resigned in 2008 and pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice in a different scandal involving sexually explicit text messages and an extramarital affair with his chief of staff. The Democrat spent 14 months in prison for violating probation in that case after a judge said he failed to report assets that could be put toward his $1 million restitution to Detroit.

Phaedra Kenya and THE BOOTY WARS!
RHOA Phaedra Parks Says Kenya Moore Not Outselling Her DVD
The competition between booty fitness is at an all time high. The ladies of Real Housewives of Atlanta, Phaedra Parks and Kenya Moore have both released booty workout DVD’s and who is out selling who? Rumors have been floating that Kenya Moore’s video, ‘Booty Boot Camp’ is outselling Park’s,‘Phine Body: Donkey Booty.’
Wet Paint reports Phaedra said this about Kenya outselling her DVD,
“I would find it interesting if it’s true. I’ve been certified on Amazon three times as a best seller, and my collection has been selling steadily since December – they’ve even outsold Jillian Michael’s DVDs. Kenya’s have just come out on the market, so for her to be outselling me, that would surprise me.”

Is Paris Jackson Joining The Philadelphia Eagles Cheerleaders?
Paris Jackson may be 14, but but the Philadelphia Eagles already want her on their cheerleading team! The latest job offer comes from Philadelphia Eagles cheer coach, Barbara Zaun who became pressed to recruit Paris after seeing video of the 14-year-old cheering for her prep school’s basketball team.
Miz Zaun said:
“We think Paris will make a great Eagle cheerleader! We thought that she had a lot of poise, confidence, and enthusiasm in her cheer performance. Paris has that ‘wow factor’ that makes a great cheerleader. She is already very comfortable in the limelight, so we think she would definitely stand out and impress the judges … We hope that she will try out for the team and be an Eagles cheerleader!”
I’m not sure if Paris is actually thinking about pursuing a professional career in cheerleading or not, but at least she got an offer.
Terrence Howard Dishes The Storylines For "Best Man Holiday"
After the classic hit the theaters 13 years ago, it's hard to imagine what else can be done in a sequel. But while original cast member Terrence Howard was out tromping his new flick Dead Man Down at New York City's Bryant Park Hotel he revealed a few storylines of Best Man Holiday.
"I think it's going to be amazing film and I get teary-eyed thinking about it because there's some tragedy in it. That's all I'll say."
But, of course, he continued saying:
"[Director and screenwriter] Malcolm Lee showed us what intelligent young black people were capable of in the The Best Man I, but The Best Man II, it shows where people go, whether they're doing the right thing or the wrong thing, and how much we need each other within our community."
With all the original cast members--including Nia Long, Sanaa Lathan, Morris Chestnut, Taye Diggs and more--returning for the sequel, this is gonna be good. Best Man Holiday is slated for a November 14th release.
