Check out the highlights from the interview below!
On GOP candidates Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney:
“With someone like Newt Gingrich, it’s a different kettle of fish.
Because as a private citizen he was for certain important health-care reforms
and believed in climate change and believed there had to be a strong reaction to
it. And now he’s just like Romney. Neither one of them can say what they believe
to be true and get nominated. Romney’s still trying to figure out what he did as
governor of Massachusetts and still appeal to this driving vituperative
energy.”
On why he thinks President Obama will win the
election:
“I think Barack Obama will be the next
president. I think he will win. Because I think that whatever feelings the
American people have about their own conditions and however much they may wish
he had moved more quickly, I think that they will conclude that it takes a long
time to get out of the kind of economic distress we were in and that his
direction and policies are more likely to move us out of that than if they give
the White House and the Congress to a party that will give them more of what
they just had.”
On his ‘Clinton Global Initiative’ (CGI), which helps bring
jobs to America that would otherwise be sent overseas:
“I just kept feeling that there was more possibility to create
jobs in America without some huge government initiative. That if we could get
businesses that are doing well together with people with good ideas, and with
people that are doing training, and with banks that are willing to loan money
under certain circumstances, then we could do some good. That’s what led to CGI
America. And the commitments we’ve gotten will create or fill existing vacancies
that haven’t been filled in months for more than 150,000 jobs and give more than
twice that many people more-relevant job training. We also got another $265
million in direct commitments for investments of low-interest loans to small
entrepreneurs, which is a big deal because the small-business loan rate in many
areas has been going down even as the demand for the loans has recovered and,
according to Pepperdine University, about 40 percent of American small
businesses surveyed said they would hire more people if they could get the
financing to do it.”
Star Jones Returning To “The View”
It appears as if Star Jones and Barbara Walters have gotten over their
differences. Jones is set to return to ABC’s hit, daytime talk show “The View”
for the first time in six years.
According to “The Hollywood Reporter,” she will stop by the February 22nd
episode to promote the American Heart Association’s “Go Red for Women” campaign,
which raises awareness of heart disease in women.
Jones’ high-profile exit
from “The View” captured headlines in 2006. After the network declined to renew
her contract, Jones abruptly announced that she was leaving the show.
Walters
refused to let Jones back on the air to finish out her contract on “The
View.”
The relationship between the two has been tense ever since.
Jones currently serves as a legal correspondent for NBC’s “Today” show.
Heres The View episode were Barbara Walters makes the statement on Star Jones
leaving the show!!!

effort not to cry – too much – as we dropped him off.
PEEK A BOOS! SWV Shoot Video For New
Single
Without a doubt, the return of vocal trio SWV has served to remind many of
R&B’s slow but sure return to the charts.

this growing trend, and reignite their once thriving fan base, the ladies have
shot a video for their single ‘Cosign‘, the first song lifted from their new
album ‘I Missed Us’.
Peeks below…
Directed by acclaimed creative Derek Blanks, the clip’s premier date is yet
to be announced but until it does, peep these shots taken from its set.
50 Cent promises to post naked picture of his
private parts if Giants lose Super Bowl
He has never been known for being backward at coming forward.
So when a
female fan offered to make an obscene bet with him over the Super Bowl the Get
Rich or Die Tryin' star could not resist.
He has entered an agreement with a Twitter user called MyBestAssets to
flash his package for the world to see if the New York Giants lose to the New
England Patriots on Sunday week.
If Fiddy's team are victorious however, she
has promised to flash her breasts and reveal her face.
She told him: 'Lets
bet. If the Giants lose the Super Bowl, you must post your d*** on the Twitter.
'If they win, I'll post my boobs and face on here. Bet?'
The rapper
could not resist such an alluring offer, simply replying 'OK.'
Of course he
could live to regret accepting the offer on such a public forum, whether his
beloved Giants win or not.
His team are the favourites to win the prestigious
NFL championship trophy in the eyes of experts and the Las Vegas
bookmakers.
Punters have also been backing the Giants over the
Patriots.
It is not the only bet Fiddy, 36, has taken on as he excitedly
looks forward to the big game.
The multi-platinum star also seems to have
entered into a $5m wager with fellow rapper Birdman, whose real name is Bryan
Williams.
It started when he boasted about winning $500,000 after betting his team
would beat the San Francisco 49rs.
And he said he was ready to double up,
tweeting: 'I'm up 500,000 off the last one. f*** it , I'll bet it back I'll put
a 1,000,000 on my G MEN. STUNNER you got the # hit me if you want it.'
When
someone pointed out his hip hop rival wanted to enter a $5m wager instead, he
replied: 'I know what he said fool.'
It is unclear whether they have made the
bet official, and Birdman has yet to give a confirmation on the matter.
It is
not the first time the hunky rapper has raised eyebrows on Twitter.

Will and Jada
Producing a Reality Show?
Will and Jada Pinkett Smith are producing a reality show, too bad they're
not in it...
Will and Jada are hooking up with Simon Cowell to produce an
American Idol type show for DJs called "DJ Superstar".
Simon says,
“We’ve been working on this show for over a year and we
wanted to partner with the right people.”
“DJs are the new rock stars. It
feels like the right time to make the show.”
At least they can still be business partners!
It's Confidential Tea Time kids……Angela
Simmons
Jacked from a random message board
I've personally been on shoots with Angela Simmons multiple times. However,
she may seem very sweet to the public in front of the cameras, yet she is a
TERROR behind the scenes.
She is very rude, stand-off, and she tells the
hairstylists, make-up artists, stylists, and photographers how to do their jobs.
She also begs to get everything for free; even when she have millions in the
bank; she couldn't even pay 20 dollars for an item.
She is also very late to
shoots (like 2-3 hours late) and she is not even on Beyonce status to give diva
behavior (plus, beyonce and kelly are always on time or an hour ahead of time
because they respects the staff and their profession).
This D-list celebrity really needs a reality check.
I am only giving this tea because she pretends that she is a very nice,
down-to-earth person and she is NOT.

Terrell Owens Talks Baby Mama Drama, Being Broke
& Unemployed, Attempting Suicide and More with GQ Magazine
Terrell Owens opens up about being a broke & unemployed athlete, his
rumored suicide attempts, baby mama drama and more in the latest issue of GQ
Magazine.
Read a few excerpts from his interview below:
On suicide attempts:
“The
hospital released me that night. If they thought I was suicidal or I hadn’t been
conscious, you ask yourself, would they have let me go that night? … But that
doesn’t mean I don’t get real down. I’m human; that’s what people don’t realize.
I may be a public figure, but really, I’m just like a guy who could be in your
family and have some difficult things happen to him.”
On blowing $80 million dollars:
“I
hate myself for letting this happen. I believed that they had my back when they
said, ‘You take care of the football, and we’ll do the rest.’ And in the end,
they just basically stole from me.”
On his baby mama drama:
“If
there’s anything I’m sorry about, it’s getting involved with all
that.”
He never actually dated any of the women, he says. One was a
one-night stand, the others “repeat offenders.” Owens, who has never been
married, concedes he is “not a very good judge of character.” Still, he “never
suspected they were the types to do what they done in the past
year.”
On not having any friends:
“I’m in
hell. I don’t have no friends. I don’t want no friends. That’s how I
feel.”
On falling out with Kita and Mo:
He
misses Monique and Kita, who used to check in a lot; he fell out with them a few
months ago, after shooting ended for the final season of the show, when he
discovered they were trying to sell their own lives as a reality program. “They
said they were planning to make me an executive producer, but if we were
business partners, don’t you think I would have known about
it?”
Even though T.O.’s attitude is a big part of the reason he is going through
so much right now … you can’t help but feel a little sorry for the guy!
