In case you forgot to pick up the paper today, The NY Daily News printed a retraction of their obscure story about Queen Latifah giving up on men:

Latifah’s no quitter
We wanted to clarify on our Queen Latifah item Thursday. We didn’t mean that Queen La is giving up on men, just that she didn’t want to be hurt again emotionally by one.

The folks over at Bossip say Shaun Robinson, creator of Exactly As I Am, reached out to them yesterday to further explain Queen’s quote, and to set the record straight:

This project is very, very personal and important. I called up these women that I have relationships with and said, ‘I don’t want to talk about your new movie, or your new cd, I just want to talk to you about how we can uplift our girls.” These women reached out and they trust me and they said, ‘Let me tell you about what I’ve been gone through growing up. Let me see how I can help these little girls during a very tumultuous time in their lives.’

What Queen was saying, is that when you don’t have a strong sense of self, you start equating sex with love. You think because a boy wants to have sex with you, he loves you. Or, that he cares about you. If there is a pattern there, you soon find out after he dumps you, that’s not true. You end up feeling horrible afterwards. That’s what Queen was saying. She felt like because she was intimate with somebody, there was a connection and it wasn’t. She got to the point where she said, ‘I’m not going to let that happen to me again. I’m not going to be hurt in that manner again.’

Her quote had nothing to do with some of the news interpretation. Furthermore, “Get the hell out of Queen Latifah’s bedroom!” The focus of this project is uplifting young girls and getting them out of the low self esteem that they have – that leads to teen pregnancy and STDs, especially what we’ve been talking about in the news lately.

I am sooo glad Shaun defended Queen on this one. The same mess happened to Oprah. The bottom line in Hollywood is that your damned if you do and your damned if you don’t. If the media knows all your dating business, then by boyfriend  number 3 somehow your labeled a whore. Yet if you keep your romantic life private, then somehow your labeled a lesbian. You can’t win!

Although the asking price is $125 million, Mariah’s actual offer has not been revealed.

Is Something awry in the Timberlake household?? A friend of Jessica tells the Chicago Sun-Times, “Things are not going as smoothly as [Biel and Timberlake] would want people to think they are” while on the other side, a Timberlake associate is saying, “I can always sense when Justin is beginning to get itchy in a relationship. … While he’s still very public about being seen with Jessica, it’s interesting. … He hardly talks about her when she’s not around. The same thing happened with Cameron [Diaz, a Timberlake ex], and it also was the case with Britney [Spears].”

Still others are saying that nothing is amiss, “I know they are both very good actors, but I truly think their feelings for each other haven’t changed.”

Jay-Z is really taking his game to a whole new level. Jay-Z is already known as a Hip Hop Legend, a music mogul, a part owner of the NJ Nets, a restauranteur and a real estate mogul. He can possibly add business manager to that long list. According to sources, Jay-Z is about to become Brandy’s new manager. Sources say that he was recently seen at a business dinner with him. This could be just the break Brandy needs!!! Now I understand why she and Rihanna have been kicking it tough lately.
