Pharrell Williams Covers GQ Magazine April Issue!
‘Happy’ hitmaker Pharrell Williams is on the front of GQ Magazine‘s April 2014 issue.
Check out highlights from the 40-years old music superstar below:
Pharrell on the Oscar snub:
“Well, trust me: when they read the results, my face was…frozen. But then I thought about it, and I just decided just to…let it go.”
Pharrell on the criticism his album cover for G I R L received:
“It’s insecurity. You can be anything that you want to be, and what I chose to do is put my friends on the cover. The girl that was closest next to me is black, but they didn’t know that, so they jumped the gun. And it’s like: ‘Yo, you don’t need nobody to represent you. You represent you. You represent the best version of who you could be. You go out there and change the world.’ Because I’m black, and I wouldn’t trade my skin color for nothing. But I don’t need to keep wearing a badge that tells you that I’m black every time I do something! I’m black! My mother’s black, who’s a big part of my business; a black woman runs my business; and I’m married to a black woman. What more do you want?”
“It doesn’t make sense to me. That kind of divisiveness is not necessary at a time when we’re supposed to be unifying. That’s what happiness is all about, and if you look at my ‘Happy’ video, I had everybody in there: fat, skinny, gay, straight, purple, polka-dot, plaid, gingham print, houndstooth, alien. I fuckin’ had dogs in there! I had children in there! I had kids in there! I’m the most indiscriminate person that there is! I believe in equality.”
“Black ain’t a color: black is a spirit, and it is ubiquitous. In fact, there’s more black out in space than there is stars. We have nothing to be insecure about.”
Pharrell on Hilary Clinton being the next president:
“Let me tell you why Hillary’s going to win. Everywhere you go in this country, you have red and blue. You got the Democrats; you got the Republicans. You got the Bloods; you got the Crips. You know what else is red and blue? Blood. Blood is blue in your body until air hits it, and then it turns red. That means there’s unity. There’s gonna be unity. So when you think about a night where there’s late-night talk-show hosts and it’s mostly women, that’s a different world. Right? A world where 75 percent of the prime ministers and the presidents were women: that’s a different world. That’s gonna happen, and it’s gonna happen when Hillary wins. Because you know what? No matter how staunch of a supporter you are of no-abortion, whatever you are: you’re a woman, and there’s no way in the world you’re going to vote for somebody that’s going to try to tell you what to do with your body. Hillary’s gonna win. Listen, I’m reaching out to her right now. She’s gonna win.”
Pharrell on being misunderstood:
“I’m not a renaissance man. What I am is a maverick, and I don’t want to be put in a box at all.”
Pharrell on when he moved out of his parents house:
“Uh, when I finally got tired of sneaking girls in. And it was more than one girl, you know, coming to hang out with me. So it was kind of like—you know, I didn’t want to do that to my mom.”
Pharrell on his infamous buffalo hat:
“Anything different, people are going to look at and go, ‘Ha ha ha ha, what is that??’ Then, after a while, they do a little bit of research; they realize it’s Vivienne Westwood, an ode to her boyfriend at the time; they had a store together called World’s End. The guy who went on to sign the Sex Pistols, Malcolm McLaren.”
On Hillary Clinton: “Let me tell you why Hillary’s going to win. Everywhere you go in this country, you have red and blue. You got the Democrats; you got the Republicans. You got the Bloods; you got the Crips. You know what else is red and blue? Blood. Blood is blue in your body until air hits it, and then it turns red. That means there’s unity. There’s gonna be unity. So when you think about a night where there’s late-night talk-show hosts and it’s mostly women, that’s a different world. Right? A world where 75 percent of the prime ministers and the presidents were women: that’s a different world. That’s gonna happen, and it’s gonna happen when Hillary wins. Because you know what? No matter how staunch of a supporter you are of no-abortion, whatever you are: you’re a woman, and there’s no way in the world you’re going to vote for somebody that’s going to try to tell you what to do with your body. Hillary’s gonna win. Listen, I’m reaching out to her right now. She’s gonna win.”
On The Tea Party: “The Tea Party guys? The guys with the n***er jokes in 2014? They’re all trying to learn how to do the Dougie. Please. While their daughters are all twerking. Trust me: Miley tells me all the time. Not saying that about Billy Ray, but I’m saying Miley tells me all the time: all those little girls, all those girls with their Republican daddies, they’re twerkin’ somewhere listening to Jay Z and Beyoncé and doin’ the ‘Happy’ dance. And that’s black.”
'Real Housewives of Atlanta' reunion will feature a Porsha Stewart-Kenya Moore fist fight
"Real Housewives of Atlanta" stars Porsha Stewart and Kenya Moore have always had a combative relationship, but the two got into a physical fight during the taping of the latest reunion special for their Bravo reality series.
According to Us Weekly, "There was a major physical altercation between Porsha and Kenya -- to the point that Porsha beat the crap out of Kenya, dragged her across the stage by her hair, and gave her a major beatdown."
It appears that Moore might've instigated the attack, at least according to RadarOnline. The site reports that Moore brought sex toys to the taping to tease Stewart about the rumors that her estranged husband, Kordell Stewart, is gay.
"Kenya brought sex toys to the reunion taping to taunt Porsha about Kordell's sexuality and she couldn't take it anymore," a source tells Radar. "Porsha beat the s*** out of her! She is a little thing and she jumped on her and pulled her down to the ground by her hair, and Kenya doesn't have a weave, it is all her own hair. Porsha was sick of her saying that she was Kordell's beard and those toys were the last straw. Porsha is a skinny thing but she was whopping her butt!"
Apparently security guards broke up the fight while cast members Nene Leakes, Phaedra Parks, Kandi Burruss and Cynthia Bailey and host Andy Cohen watched the drama unfold.

KIM, KANYE & NORTH: MORE Pics From ‘VOGUE’ Spread Released
After the many dinner parties and rumors of Kanye begging Vogue’s editor-in-chief Anna Wintour to put Kim on the cover of VOGUE, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West finally landed top billing in the April 2014 issue of VOGUE magazine's Shape issue.
Their adorable 10-month-old baby North is also a part of the VOGUE fabness which was captured by Annie Leibovitz. Kim talked to VOGUE about dressing up North like her father saying “I put Kanye’s big chains around her, and I put a little Louis bag and some Jordans, and I was like, ‘What up, Daddy?’
After receiving negative backlash about the KimYe’s cover, Anna Wintour defended her choice in the Editor’s Letter, saying it was entirely her idea.
She said:
Part of the pleasure of editing Vogue, one that lies in a long tradition of this magazine, is being able to feature those who define the culture at any given moment, who stir things up, whose presence in the world shapes the way it looks and influences the way we see it.
I think we can all agree on the fact that that role is currently being played by Kim and Kanye to a T. (Or perhaps that should be to a K?)
'As for the cover, my opinion is that it is both charming and touching, and it was, I should add, entirely our idea to do it; you may have read that Kanye begged me to put his fiancée on Vogue’s cover.
He did nothing of the sort. The gossip might make better reading, but the simple fact of the matter is that it isn’t true.
'There’s barely a strand of the modern media that the Kardashian Wests haven’t been able to master, and for good reason: Kanye is an amazing performer and cultural provocateur, while Kim, through her strength of character, has created a place for herself in the glare of the world’s spotlight, and it takes real guts to do that.'
Well alright.

Scandal Actor Columbus Short Serves Up A Brutal Fade In Bar Fight
Scandal actor Columbus Short proved that his hardened character Harrison Wright doesn't deviate too much from his real persona. The 31-year-old actor allegedly turned another man's face into Hamburger Helper during a bar fight last week and the results were anything but pretty.
Think the infamous NYC vs. Trucker fade.
Reports TMZ:
"Scandal" star Columbus Short LEVELED his victim during that bloody bar fight -- leaving the man in a heap on the floor -- and then continued to rail on him ... and the pic tells a pretty gruesome story.
Sources at Gabe's Bar and Grill in L.A. tell us ... Short leaped over the father of the bride-to-be -- it was an engagement party -- and punched his 37-year-old victim in the face, knocking the man to the ground.
We're told Short continued his beating until the victim "looked dead." Short then left the bar.
As you can see in the pic, the victim was placed on a stretcher with a neck brace before being transported to a nearby hospital.
An eyewitness tells TMZ Columbus then came up from behind and sucker punched the guy. The eyewitness says the man's nose was broken and he was rendered unconscious for several minutes.
We're told Columbus quickly left the bar.
An ambulance came and took the 37-year-old man to a nearby hospital.
Cops are now investigating a criminal battery.
It's not the first time Columbus used his fists to make a point. In March, 2010 ... Columbus was playing basketball at an L.A. Fitness gym when he got into an argument with another player and socked the guy in the face, knocking several teeth out.
The victim is going to need extensive therapy for trauma and embarrassment and Columbus was spotted today in L.A. smoking some hookah, without a care in the world. It appears he received the TMZ update on his phone and let out a hearty laugh.
Chief Keef Posts Pics Of Machine Gun & AK-47, Gets Mixed Up In Chicago Shooting [PHOTOS]
Chief Keef has long embraced that he will forever be a lost child of the struggle. Still, drama seems to find him every step of the way and when his legal team openly admits he was present at the time of a shooting, you know that said struggle is authentic.
Word rang out this morning that there was a shooting in Northfield, Il, a town about 19 miles outside of Chicago. Keef hasn't been named as a shooter on either side but this happened right after he and his goons strapped on Instagram and gave the other Internet thugs a fair warning.
Reports TMZ:
Chief Keef somehow got mixed up in a shooting early Wednesday AM that put someone in the hospital, TMZ has learned.
We called Keef's people to determine the extent of the rapper's involvement -- his lawyer tells us Keef wasn't the shooter ... he just happened to be present when shots were fired.
The Northfield PD says the shooting victim is in ICU.
The rapper really knows how to implicate himself in a crime -- on Monday, Keef plastered his Instagram page with photos of guns, including an AK-47, and the photos appear to serve as a warning. Keef wrote the captions, "Another situation. Already."
And voila ... another situation already.
"GangSh*t Aint Nun Of That Squad," was the incoherent message that accompanied a photo with Keef aiming a machine gun and another posted up with AK-47 rifle.
Another headline was "Finna Get High Babbyyy," which was extra special, seeing that the Chicago rapper was just busted for a DUI earlier in the month.
Jail, rehab nor drug test scare this guy.
Nick Cannon Dresses in Whiteface to Promote New Album

Colin Kaepernick Spotted Out At Dinner With Rumored Track Star Boo Monica Hargrove In Atlanta
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick was spotted in Atlanta this weekend with his rumored boo/track and field star Monica Hargrove.
The twosome enjoyed dinner at an upscale-casual eatery called YardHouse in Atlantic Station and were all smiles as they stopped to snap a pic (above) with a waitress.
Now...there have been rumors circulating on who Colin is actually dating (one of the them being actress Sanaa Lathan) but it seems he might have his eye on Monica in particular. Colin and Monica have been rumored to be casually dating since last year.
The 49ers QB is currently training in Miami for the off-season and we’ve been told Colin asked Monica to visit him last week in Miami while he’s there.
As you can see, Monica has been enjoying the Miami life partying at LIV nightclub, conveniently.
And she even posted a picture of herself possibly in Colin’s condo:
Now…if you pay close attention to the details (floor, furniture, etc.) in the photo she posted (above) and the photo below, it does indeed look like his condo:
Hmm...
Our sources tell us a few days ago, he dropped everything he was doing and traveled to Atlanta (where she's currently residing) to be with Monica for just a couple of hours before he took off and headed to Chicago.
He posted the photo above and said “Chi town I'm on the way! #Chicago”
Our sources also said he seems to be enthralled with Monica and the fact that he’s hopping on planes to visit her for just hours speaks volumes on how he feels about her. Or does it?
They make a cute couple. Guess we will have to wait and see what this blossoms into…
