On opening up to his fans

I do, but I can’t give my whole life to my fans. Then the mystique is gone. If you know everything about someone, why would you continue to pursue that person? There has to be a mystique. In order for women to want me and kids to think I’m the coolest and men to want to be me, there has to be something about me that’s ‘wow.’ If you get rid of the ‘wow’ who cares?

On his career

I’m still establishing myself, I would say. I’m opening myself up to a fanbase that never knew me so while my first album was the original introduction; the second album was probably a step further into introducing myself. I feel this album is still an introduction because it’s more people coming on board. There’s so much further it can go. No matter how much of a success this album is or how big the records are, I feel as though I’m scratching the surface of my potential with this album because the vision I had for myself is much bigger than that.

On being compared to D’Angelo

That’s the moment he became a sex symbol. Do we know the moment I became a sex symbol? No. There’s no significant moment where that happened for me. And there’s nothing that I really… maybe when I cut my hair, I don’t know. But for me, it’s never been something we chased after. The album cover was just showing the new me, showing that I’ve been working out, showing my hair is cut. If you look inside the packaging  it’s showing the other side of the evolution where my suits are tailored, where — things of that nature — so, I don’t know if I would compare myself to D ‘Angelo in that way. But I definitely feel it. I definitely feel the sex symbol status.

On his sexual appeal

I’m a lovable guy. You don’t think so? I’m confident. That exudes. Women like men who are confident. I’m humble and I was raised by women so I know what women like.

On the “Invented Sex” video

There’s a banned Calvin Klein commercial with a man with two women — a little more risqué, a little more raunchy — and there’s also an Eva Mendes Calvin Klein commercial; I kind of brought the two together. I knew Drake wasn’t going to be on this version, so I took that time to get sensual, to talk to the woman and make a new conversation piece. From here on out, with videos, with song structure, with everything — I’m trying to make it more like an event, more so than a motion, because everything in the music business usually moves clockwork. You got to do this, this way; this should be done, this way. I’m trying to think outside of the box with everything I do and make sure things are done in an innovative way that makes people look like ‘Ohhh… that’s different.’

However, the news is bittersweet.  For Iraq Obama plans to remove all troops by the end of 2011, saying that the removal is a “testament to the character of the men and women in uniform.”  He then outlined the numerous (and scary) challenges that are being faced in Afghanistan.  The country is still facing control by the Taliban, (by the way… gotta love the way Obama says Taliban.  Cracks me up everytime) the extremist Afghan government that completely controlled Afghanistan after the 9/11 attacks and protected Al Qaeda.  Through review of the situation in Afghanistan, Obama and his advisors believe that in its current state Afghanistan would not be able to stand on its own.  As a result of the challenges Obama said, addressing the military, “as your Commander in Chief I owe you a mission that is clearly defined.”  The mission calls for 30,000 more troops to go to Afghanistan with the goal of leaving after 18 months.

Obama’s major point throughout the speech was to reinforce that he wants to set up Afghanistan for transition to stable independence.  He even took a moment to address the people of Afghanistan.  Looking directly at the camera he stated, “we have no interest in occupying your country.”

Additionally, Obama turned around and put the price of occupation in context, noting that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have cost more than $1 trillion, which has basically been debilitating to domestic programs in the wake of the recession.  For this reason, Obama does not want to leave military presence in Afghanistan open ended.  ”The nation that I am most interested in building is our own,” he said.

Here are some picks that I compiled together. Have looksy for yourselves…

Today, December 1st, marks World AIDS Day. There are currently 33 million people in the world carrying the virus. Can you say for sure that you’re not one of these people? Be honest, you ever get down to business without a jimmy hat? When was the last time you were tested? AIDS is real people so if you don’t know for sure, use today to go out and get tested.

And remember kiddies, always strap up.

So while Phillies fans are off sulking somewhere, New Yorkers have been celebrating Obama style since the Yankees won the World Series last night in game 6. The ticker tape parade celebrating this glorious occassion will take place tomorrow (Friday) morning.

The parade will begin on Broadway at Battery Place at 11 a.m. and continue uptown along the financial district’s Canyon of Heroes to Chambers Street. There will be a ceremony at City Hall Plaza, where Mayor Michael Bloomberg will present the Bronx Bombers with the Keys to the City.

For all of you who are still slaves to your jobs (sorry), you can catch the parade from your desk by watching the live streaming video on myfoxny.com.

Congratulations to the Yankees!

Chris Brown hit up the Angie Martinez show on Hot 97 this evening and chatted it up about the Rihanna incident. Homie still won’t disclose what happened in the car that night but did clear up some nuances we had. He says that when he was on the Larry King show, he lied about not remembering what happened. He says that he was extremely nervous, didn’t really want to do the interview in the first place and just wanted to get through it.

He also mentions that Will Smith and Puff were the only older men to reach out to him and lend a helping hand. Apparently, the domestic violence classes are helpful and he is confident that nothing like this will happen again.

Also, Chris is going to be the coverboy for the comeback issue of Vibe magazine in December. Nice.

Check out the movie trailer for Taken. Maaaad folks in this flick.  

Looks hot to me.

Real hot!

Damn, all these rappers and their "experimental" projects. With Kanye, Lil Wayne and now Jay following this path, I can only imagine that this will be the norm for all rappers. I guess..

And in other news, DMX had some words about Jigga:

Wow. I don't ever want any of whatever Earl is taking. Damn shame.

This girl is so gorgeous. I wish her music got more respect though because she's actually pretty good.

Damn, it seems like everyday some celeb is chopping their hair off. Just when Ciara thought she was going to get some shine, the First Lady steps in to take the spotlight.

Check out Lady O displaying her fresh new cut last night at the White House's Country Music Concert.

 I think I like this although I will miss watching her healthy ass hair flow through the wind.
