Check out a few experts and her full photo spread below:
On the Man Who Inspired the album 21
“You know, he was amazing. He was great. But it was never going to work. And for ages I was like, As if he deserves any f-cking kudos for inspiring my record. But now, after some time, it only seems right that the person who so far has had the biggest impact on me—has now changed my life for f-cking ever with this album—deserves a little credit. I can do things that I never dreamed I’d be able to do. If I hadn’t met him, I think I’d still be that little girl I was when I was eighteen. And the best thing is, I now know what I want for myself and from someone else. I didn’t know what I wanted before.”
On how losing her voice helped change her life
It was so fast-paced, I could hardly ever even remember the bulk of my day. I think I just needed to be silenced. And when you are silent, everyone else around you is silent. So the noise in my life just stopped. It was like I was floating in the sea for three weeks. It was brilliant. It was my body telling me to fix me. I had so much time to kind of go over things and get over things, which is amazing. I think if I hadn’t had my voice trouble, I would never have broached those subjects with myself. Now I just feel really at peace. And really proud of myself. I’ve never fully appreciated the things that I’ve achieved until now. In fact, my entire life has changed in the last ten weeks. I’ve never been so happy, and I love it.
On not having the desire to become an actress
I did my acting debut on Ugly Betty, and I cannot watch it. I play myself, but I was so sort of uncomfortable that I sound like an American putting on an English accent. I am the worst actress of all time. I’m like a f-cking cardboard box! I’m awful. No, I have absolutely no intention of going into acting or making perfumes. I am a singer. I will stick to what I am good at and not spread myself thin and become mediocre at everything I do.
On having a long-lasting singing career
I’m in it for the long run. I don’t want to be disposable. You’re only as good as your next record. I’m not scared of losing this. I won’t come out with new music until it’s better than 21. I’m not expecting to sell as many records, but I don’t want to release shit. Also, I have nothing to write about! I’d be lying. And that would go against everything I’ve ended up building for myself. So, yeah, I will need at least three years to write a record.
On if it’ll take a brave man to date her
Come on! I’m wifey material! I’m great. No one’s got to be brave. It’s not like, ‘You f**k me over and I’m going to write a record and make you the most hated man in the world.’ I am never writing a breakup record again, by the way. I’m done with being a bitter witch”

George Lucas puts up 60 million for Red Tails movie
Do you plan to see Red Tails this weekend? If not, you should.. And Here’s why!
It took George Lucas 23 years to get ‘Red Tails’ — the story of the Tuskegee Airmen, the first all black aerial combat unit during World War II — produced and in theaters. The film, which Lucas calls his passion project, included not only an all black cast, but black screenwriters, a black director, and a black film scorer, something that he says Hollywood was not trying to support or finance. Many thought that this movie would never see the light of day, but with an all star cast including Cuba Gooding Jr., Terrence Howard, Tristan Wilds, Ne-Yo, Method Man, David Oyelowo, Ryan Early, and Kevin Phillips, we finally have the first blockbuster all black action movie that not only brings drama but drops knowledge about an important part of history.
There is already a prequel and sequel to the film in the works, however, those movies will never be released if people do not go out to the theaters this weekend and prove to Hollywood that there is still a market for black films. George Lucas revealed on The Daily Show recently that he had to finance the film himself and that even with his track record of franchises like Star Wars and Indiana Jones, the movie industry wasn’t convinced that an action movie with an ‘all black cast’ would do well.
“[The studios] said [Red Tails is] not green enough. It’s because it’s an all black movie. There’s no major White roles in it at all. It’s one of the first all-Black action pictures ever made. It’s a reasonably expensive movie. Normally, Black movies—Tyler Perry movies or something—they’re very low-budget,” George said. “This cost more than what those movies make, so they figure…They don’t believe there’s any foreign market for it.”
George also revealed that he put up $60 million of his own money for the film (which had a $93 million dollar budget) because he felt it was an inspirational story for teenage boys.
I wanted to make an inspirational for teenage boys. I wanted to show that they have heroes. They’re real American heroes. They’re patriots that helped make the country what it is today. It’s not Glory where you have a lot of White officers running these guys into cannon fire.”
Meanwhile, Tyler Perry, who has been heavily criticized for his ‘stereotypical’ films over the years, encouraged his following to go out and support the film because ‘black films’ are becoming extinct. He posted on his website:
Unfortunately, movies starring an all African American cast are on the verge of becoming extinct. THAT’S RIGHT, EXTINCT! Ask any executive at a Hollywood Studio why, and most of them will tell you one of two things. The first thing they’ll say is that DVD sales have become very soft, so it’s hard for a movie with an all black cast to break-even. Secondly they’ll say, most movies are now dependent on foreign sales to be successful and most “black” movies don’t sell well in foreign markets. So what that means is you will begin to see less and less films that star an all black cast. Isn’t that sad in a 2012 America? Somewhere along the way we still haven’t realized that we are more alike then not.
George decided to take a huge risk by entirely funding the movie and releasing it himself. What a guy! For him to believe so strongly in this story is amazing. I think we should pull together and get behind this movie. I really do! Not just African Americans, but all of us
Check out the trailer and make sure you go out and see the movie this weekend!

Russell Brand flies to L.A. to meet Katy Perry for face-to-face talk, attend Golden Globes
Russell Brand is reportedly set to see Katy Perry face to face, but don't expect any last-minute romantic "firework" to save their marriage.
The 36-year-old British commedian flew to Los Angeles to hammer out details of his divorce with Perry, 27, and attend the Golden Globes, London's Daily Mirror reported.
"He has agreed to meet her one last time," an unnamed friend told the Mirror. "He wants to sort things out and finalize the divorce."
"He needed to be in LA for the Globes too, so it was an ideal opportunity to meet. He is determined to move on."
Olivia Munn poses nude for PETA’s latest 'I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur' ad campaign
Now that's one way to get our attention!
Olivia Munn is speaking out and stripping down in PETA's latest ad, in which the actress appears nude in a new anti-fur billboard unveiled Thursday in Los Angeles.
The 31-year-old, who next appears in Steven Soderbergh's upcoming comedy "Magic Mike" and Aaron Sorkin's highly-anticipated HBO series "The Newsroom," is the latest face, er body, to participate in the animal rights organization's "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" campaign. Taraji P. Henson, Eva Mendes, Karina Smirnoff and Khloe Kardashian are among the many notable names who have stripped down for the cause.
But Munn is doing more than just baring it all.
She appears in PETA's new video exposé about fur farms in China, which is currently the world's largest exporter of fur products.
"As a proud person of Chinese descent, it broke my heart to learn just how terribly animals suffer and die on Chinese fur farms and that there are no penalties for this abuse," she says in the video.
"When you think about even that little tiny trim of fur on your gloves or on your collar, that is still coming from an animal that had to endure so much pain just for you," she adds. "There's nothing good about pretending like you don't know."
