WORD? CELEBRITY QUOTES FOR THE WEEK OF SEPT. 24
When did Trey Songz feel like he had ascended to star status.
1 / 25
Kanye West - When Obama called me 'jack*ss,' after the Taylor [Swift] incident, I thought that the person to be speaking off the record. Obama has way more important stuff to worry about than my public perception. He was trying to pass the healthcare bill.

Wyclef Jean - After weeks of quiet but painstaking reflection with my wife and daughter, I have chosen to end my bid for the presidency of Haiti.

Nicki Minaj - I'm actually timid when it comes to being overtly sexy, which is weird because in the beginning people thought of me like some freakin' porn star. Guys reference sex all the time in their raps--I can't even think of a record where [Lil] Wayne doesn't talk about sex--but when a female does it, people start tuning out.

Ne-Yo - The thing about working with Beyoncé is that she definitely has her own agenda. She's an artist that knows exactly what she wants to do.
5 / 25
Nelly - She’s mental and I’m really worried about her because when people are mental like that, they do things without thinking about consequences. That’s what separates the sane from the insane…The biggest surprise is how can you still be f–king with her after all this s–t? That’s the biggest surprise.

Kid Cudi - I started doing cocaine to get through interviews, ’cause people wanted to know a lot about my personal life and I wasn’t prepared for a 60 Minutes interview every time. Doing bumps I was able to get through the day, but then I would smoke weed to calm me down—it was the only way I could get through the day without people noticing I was doing it.
7 / 25
Lady Gaga - Doesn't it seem to be that 'don't ask, don't tell' is backwards? Doesn't it seem to you that we should send home the prejudiced? The straight soldier who hates the gay soldier? The straight soldier who has prejudice in his heart in the space where the military asks him to hold our core American values?

Kim Kardashian - I am not against Botox, and I would never judge anyone else for getting any kind of surgical or non surgical procedure, but I think when you’re young there are other ways you can look after your skin….Botox just wasn’t necessary for me at this age.
9 / 25
Marques Houston - A lot of women today feel they have to act like men, and I always make the example that if we're asleep and you hear a noise, a woman isn't going to get up she's going to tell her man to go see what it is. Men and woman have their place in a relationship, and what men tend to do wrong is abuse their authority, which is why you have domestic violence and the such.
10 / 25
Wale - It's just rap music, it really ain't no malice out of it…that's what rappers do. We make lines. 9 out of 10 rappers wouldn't take it as a diss. As I am growing as a man and an artist, you see what you gotta do and how you gotta carry yourself and why you keep your circle small.

Common - But now I'm focused, and working and I'm really- in all reality, I believe that the new album will come out in the spring. I'm looking at around April or May for the new album. It's called The Believer. I had that title for a while to be honest. The time has come. It's coming.
12 / 25
Lyfe Jennings - This will be my last post. To everyone who gave me a chance I am forever in your debt. I have had a fabulous career because of you. All I can say in parting is that I have been honest with yaw. I didn't sugarcoat a word didn't hold back a single sylible of my life from yaw.
13 / 25
Trey Songz - I definitely feel that album [Ready] was what I thought it was. Before even the masses got it or anybody heard it, I felt like it was a defining album in an artist's career. Because even before that album, I had a couple hits, I had top 10 records, but those were songs. I had hit songs but I wasn't a hit artist.
14 / 25
Naomi Campbell - What you have to understand is, I was not on trial. I was forced by subpoena to testify. It was nothing to do with me. This trial has been going on for how many years and no one cared to write about it? You bring Naomi Campbell to the stand and the whole world knows. So as far as I was concerned, I was used as a scapegoat.
15 / 25
Lamar Odom - We're on it right now ... and I'm having fun trying. We got one of those [ovulation] monitors so we can check on it.

Jennifer Lopez - I believe in tough love but I don’t think I can ever be cruel to another artist. There are definitely better ways to say things.
17 / 25
Laurieann Gibson - I’m going to have some interactions with my famous stars, but basically they are already done. What is going to be amazing are the new ones. Three years ago, if you could have seen what I went through with Gaga you know that journey would have been amazing. You will see the maintenance of the A-list artists.
18 / 25
Michael Vick - I didn't expect it, but I won't question the blessing from God. I just have to go out and give it a 110 percent effort, and we all as professionals and as grown men have to work through it and figure out what's the most rational way to make this work.
19 / 25
Kim Zolciak - I felt a sharp pain in my left breast but didn’t realize how serious it was until the bandages came off and there was a tear around my nipple. I had to go back to get it fixed.
20 / 25
Shawty Lo - Good thing is, there was a lot of murders going on in Bowen Homes. The crime rate was high. It's bad for the people who lived there and are unfortunate and do not have anything. There were no extra bills. Zero rent. Now they gotta get out there and try to make it. It's getting harder and harder these days.
