I interviewed Kreayshawn recently for PopCrush. Said Kreayshawn,
Every title people give each other is limiting. I can understand ‘female rapper,’ but when people go into race, it separates us as people, in general. Even with sexuality and s—. People want to say I am bi, lesbian or straight. It doesn’t matter. It does separate and make me who I am and different…

I reviewed the latest song from Carly Re Jepsen, ‘This Kiss.’
The light and fluffy nature of the song is what makes it so appealing! Jepsen sings about a kiss being something she can’t resist and the lips of her beloved, who is just her type, being undeniable. She captures a universal feeling and encases it in an addictive song.

Read my post about Gwen Stefani on the cover of Marie Claire.
And could she be any more naturally beautiful? Few women can mesh platinum blonde with scarlet lips, as is her signature, or pair snakeskin with cargo pants and make it work, but that’s just what the ‘Hollaback Girl’ does in this spread.

I wrote a post about Britney Spears on the cover of ELLE magazine.
The hair is, well, a little too soccer mom for our tastes, but then again, Brit Brit is a mother to two young (and super cute) sons, so we’ll cut her some slack. It’s also better than some of the extensions she’s worn, where the seams and weaves showed. So we’ll take it.

I wrote a post about Lana Del Rey on the cover of Vogue Australia magazine.
Del Rey’s eyes look extra large and doe-like, due to the white eyeliner in that rims then. Check out those pillowy lips, too. They look extra kissable, don’t they?
The internal images are equally as romantic and somewhat Victorian in nature, with Del Rey sporting a headful of braids and flowers. She’s once again in bloom.

I reviewed the new will.i.am ‘Reach for the Stars’ track.
It has an epic, instrumental opening for the first minute, but then, will gets all sorts of futuristic with vocal effects. He sounds like he is singing under water, thanks to his liberal use of Autotune.

Check out my recap of ‘Opening Act.’
On tonight’s (Aug. 27) episode of ‘Opening Act,’ Brooklyn-based boy band Gotham Citi were given the chance of a lifetime. They were invited to open for pop music’s favorite femcee Nicki Minaj on one of her Pink Friday tour dates. The four-piece, which formed a year ago, is an a cappella group that meets up in the city and practices in places like Central Park.

The Wanted graced the cover of Coupe de Main.
Seriously, we don’t think we’ve ever seen photos of the boys where they didn’t look absolutely scrumptious. Check out their Glamour spot for further proof. As if you needed a reason to gawk at more Wanted photos.

Rihanna recently spoke with Oprah about Chris Brown. Said Riri,
“I lost my best friend. Everything I knew switched in a night and I couldn’t control that… As angry and hurt and betrayed as I was, he made that mistake because he needed help. Nobody was going to say he needs help without looking at the source. I was more concerned about him.”
