On asking the right questions:
“They say the examined life is the only one worth living – and after looking at mine in every way I can, I think they’re right. If you ask me, examining the way you conduct yourself in the world doesn’t just make life worthwhile, it makes it a fascinating, challenging, surprising adventure.”

Ashanti Pays Foxy Brown Dust After Shade (Instagram)
Last week rapper Foxy Brown lashed out at R&B singer Ashanti after Ashanti posted on Instagram that she’d be spending New Year’s Eve in Jamaica with Foxy’s ex Spragga Benz. Unfortunately it was wasted shade on Foxy’s part because Ashanti could not care less.
A fan put it all into perspective by posting a cheeky response to Foxy’s diss that would have gone unnoticed if not for Ashanti’s passive aggressive reply.
Lord these two chicks need to quit it!

"[When I learned of my pregnancy] I thought I was going to die. I was a teenager. It was the hardest thing I'd ever gone through. [Having an abortion has] haunted me all my life... It'd be contradictory if I said I wasn't pro-choice. I wasn't ready. I didn't have anything to offer a child."

United Kingdom Granted Wide Release of "The Interview"
After plenty of controversy in the United States, Sony decided to get the ball rolling and set a wide release for "The Interview" in the United Kingdom. Earlier today (January 7), the Seth Rogen/ James Franco flick is slated to hit theaters in Great Britain and Ireland on February 6.
Sony dealt with plenty of criticism from Hollywood, fans and even President Barack Obama after it decided to halt release in the States due to the hacking scandal and threats from North Korea. The film still hasn't had its wide release in America, but it did hit VOD and small theaters late last month.
The production company's decision to release it paid off financially, earning $31 million digitally and $5 million theatrically.

Beanie Sigel Forced to Have One Lung Removed in the Hospital
After getting shot in his stomach last month, Beanie Sigel has been forced to undergo surgery to have one lung removed.
The lung was riddled with fragments from the bullet and couldn’t be saved.
Someone opened fire as the hip-hop mogul returned home from taking his kids to school. It was a drive-by and cops believe Sigel was not the target … the shooter was gunning for the guy standing next to him.
Sigel was released from the hospital he’s called home since December 5. He went directly to Bacharach Institute for Rehabilitation in Pomona, NJ, where he’ll spend the next 90 days learning how to function with one lung.
DAMN HOMIE!
Are Kylie Jenner Breast REAL?
Kylie Jenner took to Instagram to show off her “secret project,” and we know we’re not the only ones looking at this with a bit of a side-eye — and it’s not because of her lips!
Check out a fan reaction to 17-year-old Kylie’s “enhanced” look.
❝Definitely think Kylie Jenner got breast implants ????
— L O D O E ?? (@LaurenGorena) January 7, 2015

What do you think — did Kylie get new boobs?
Blue Ivy Turns 3, Jay Z & Beyonce Anger Animal Rights Groups
Blue Ivy recently turned 3 and you’re old. In other news Beyonce and Jay are under fire from animal rights groups over feeding a tiger.
Okay so if it isn’t one thing it’s another. Jay & Bey are now taking heat from every animal rights group you name it for going to a place that allows you to feed tiger on their trip around the world. It seems that these groups believe that places like this mistreat these animals and also give the notion that these animals are play things.
We for one haven’t done our research into the animal cruelty world but one thing we do know is that these groups don’t play about their animals. One minute you’re feeding a tiger next you’re getting hit with a flower bomb.
And the Red Carpet is SET for Angela Bassett, Yaya DaCosta, Deborah Cox & More At The "Whitney" Premiere
Hello gorgeous! Director and actress Angela Bassett attended the premiere of Lifetime's "Whitney" at The Paley Center for Media in Beverly Hills, California
The movie is 56-year-old Angela Bassett's directorial debut and has not been without its share of controversy. A few months ago, the "American Horror Story" star was slammed by Whitney's daughter Bobbi Kristina for making the film and the Houston family was absent from the premiere. Page Six reports Angela said about the absence of the Houston family saying,
“...It was the family’s choice and decision, because of what they want to do and whatever their desires or their plans are, not to be involved in this one. But they didn’t have anything negative to say about it. You know, sometimes to be silent is the greatest gift.”
Yaya DaCosta, who stars as Whitney Houston, looked amazing as she celebrated her latest role. She told the NY Post, “When we were on set, that’s all I thought about: ‘I don’t really care what any living person thinks. I want to make her (Whitney) proud. And that, for me, is all I needed to be O.K. with this project.”
The "Whitney" biopic has also created a resurgence in the career of singer Deborah Cox.
While Ms. Cox does not physically appear in the movie, she recorded all of the "Whitney" vocals used in the film. Perhaps this could lead to more work on Broadway or even another album? Deborah told Page Six that she knew the gig would be a thankless one. Especially for the fans. “I knew I would be judged. Everyone was going to come for me. Don’t. I come with love.”
And we must say, she DEFINITELY did Whitney justice.
"Soul Man" star Niecy Nash, rocking sequin trousers by Cookie Johnson, came out to celebrate the film's premiere.
"Black-ish" star Anthony Anderson posed with Yolanda Ross, who stars as Whitney's best friend Robyn Crawford.
Magic and Cookie Johnson were on board to toast Angela and the cast.
Musician Sheila E. came out looking fresh-faced and fab.
Come thru old school! And by old school, we mean industry vets who are looking better than good to this day. The premiere brought out legends Smokey Robinson and Berry Gordy.
Smokey attended with his wife Frances Glandney, who said she was going to match her shoes to the exact print of her suit.
Following the premiere, the cast and guests headed to the afterparty at Spago. "Whitney" airs on LIFETIME on January 17th.
