Faith stopped by my radio show on 107.5 WBLS in NY this week to promote her forthcoming album “Something About Faith.” The homie is looking and sounding great these days. Her eldest daughter Chyna is headed to college, while she’s preparing to write her second book.

Looks like her reality show ” It’s All About Faith” won’t be happening after all. Faith says she refused to drum up false drama in her life just to appease networks or producers. Instead, she and a friend (coughs* Misa puffy’s ex, ssshhh..) are working on a reality show of their own that will highlight them as mothers, friends, and business women. Check out the interview below….

His single “All I Want Is You” is burning up the airwaves. Find out all the scoop on R&B’s new “It” guy below……

It’s been two weeks since we received shocking news that American Idol star, Fantasia Barrino, was hospitalized for taking a mix of aspirin and sleeping pills.  The songstress is now admitting that she was purposely trying to kill herself.  

This morning Fantasia sat down with Robin Roberts of “Good Morning America” to explain what really went through her mind on that gloomy day….

I think I was just overloaded with everything, with carrying six years of so much.I always take a licking and keep on ticking…it just became heavy for me to the point that I just wanted to be away from the noise. There’s so much that people don’t understand. They just see the glitz and the glamour, and they feel like life is so perfect, but we’re human and we go through things.

Ok I don’t want to spoil any more of this interview. Check it out below for yourself…

The thing that disturbs me the most about this is that Fantasia has a little girl. How do you explain to your child that you tried to off yourself and leave them behind?

Oscar winner Halle Berry graces the September issue of Vogue, rocking a sleek 1920s-style bob that’s sharper than a razor.  The Hollywood actress talks about “mommyhood” and her break-up with male model Gabriel Aubry.

On her break-up with Gabriel Aubrey:

I’m not done with love, but I refuse to settle. I am a hopeless romantic. And I won’t stop till I get it right.  I don’t think I’m unlike a lot of people. I am just someone who is trying to find that mate, and I think it’s a really hard thing to do. And I’m not willing to stay somewhere where I am really not happy. And I am not willing to pretend I am for the kid’s sake or so that I don’t have to go through another public humiliation. It’s just that you realise you are not meant to go the distance with everybody. We were meant to bring this amazing little person into the world. And I think that’s why we came together. And because of that, we are going to be together forever, all three of us. We are a family until we are not here any more. We have always been friends, we’re still friends, we love each other very much, and we both share the love of our lives. And we are both 100 percent committed to being the best parents we can be. And while it was not a love connection for us, he was absolutely the right person to have this child with because she is going to have an amazing father.

On motherhood:

I have a new focus that’s outside myself, and that feels really good, in your 40s, to have arrived at that place. I’m actually lucky and grateful that I waited until an age when I can really be present. I saw my mother in her early 20s having two little kids, and I don’t think she enjoyed me at two the way that I enjoy my daughter. She didn’t have that luxury.” She gets a funny, thoughtful look on her face. “Nature has got it all wrong: When you are younger, it should be harder to get pregnant, and as you get older it should be easier. When you are so ready, you can’t do it to save your life. And when you are 21, you are so not ready, but you are ripe as could be. The eggs should become more developed the older you get, not die slowly from the day you’re born. That’s one thing God got wrong.

On her biggest fear:

I worry that this whole insatiable appetite for celebrity children will somehow adversely affect Nahla. I don’t think it’s fair, and I don’t think it’s safe. How will she grow up, having been objectified like this for most of her whole young life? Already they write things about her: Oh, she looks like this; oh, she looks like that. But nobody knows her. They just pick her apart on a very superficial level. How will I be able to help her keep that in perspective in this town?

Our jaws were on the floor when word hit the streets that VH1′s Basketball Wives star, Gloria Govan and fiancé Matt Barnes, called off their August 21st wedding. Barnes sent out a mass text to his groomsmen with the abrupt news and no explanation to follow.

In a recent interview with Vibe.com Gloria Govan and Matt Barness decided to set the record straight as to why they called off their wedding. They even surprised us with news that they’ll be participating in Season 2 of Basketball Wives. Check out a few excerpts below…

On why the decided to cancel their wedding…

Gloria: Matt and I feel like marriage is something that should not be rushed into. It wasn’t any outside party. We’re committed and dedicated to working on our relationship and we’re still together but again, we felt like this wasn’t something that was in our hearts at the time. Marriage is something that is definitely our goal but again, we’re not rushing into something that we just feel like isn’t right for us at the time so we’re just taking the time to work on our family.

On Matt’s Twitter rampage….

Matt: I just think their focus and their attention could have been in a different direction considering that me and Gloria and Eric [Williams] and Jennifer were the only couples on the show. And I think the whole thing with Shaq and Gloria’s sister kind of went south and kind of dropped while the show was on and I just feel like Shaunie tried to flip the script and blame Gloria, when Gloria had nothing to do with it. And then the rest of those girls—Evelyn and all those other girls—want to tell their sob stories and air their dirty laundry to the world and just because as a couple we choose not to do that doesn’t make us no better or no worse than anybody else. We just decided to keep what’s personal between us in our household and I think that’s how every family should treat it. If you saw the other women on the show acting a mess crying and telling their story, then that’s well within their rights but I just didn’t like how they tried to attack myself and Gloria—poke holes and dig up dirt—that’s really none of their business.

On why they decided to return for Season 2…

Matt: I just think there was a lot of negative but a lot of positive came from it too. Gloria and I sat down and talked and we decided we gotta use the show the way they’re trying to use us. A lot of doors have opened up for her in opportunities that she would like to pursue for a career and a few things have opened up for me as well and with us moving back to LA even more doors are gonna be opened. So we feel that we can use the show the way they’re going to try to use us to get into our lives and our family.
