Tina Knowles - Of course I am (ready for her to have a baby). What grandmother isn't? I can't wait.

1 / 25

Tina Knowles - I heard that, but I'm here to clear the rumors up. The truth is it's not Beyoncé that's pregnant, it's me. No, it's not true. Not right now. I'm looking forward to it. With all the rumors, by now I should have about five or six grandchildren.

Willow Smith - It felt like all the hard work paid off, mostly that. Like all the hard work that I've done, like recording 'Whip My Hair' — it's paid off.

Waka Flocka Flame - I was like, got-damn! Oh, sh--, I made it! Hell yeah, I was [surprised]. Come on, man, I never thought I'd be on something like that. Not yet. It's so soon.

B.o.B - For me, you know, you always run into that risk of not having enough balance in your music when you're trying to make a wide variety of music. My career has been something that's begun with "Cloud 9" to what's coming out now, and my sound, you can't hear it in one body of work. You have to follow it and build.

Selita Ebanks - It's kind of the same with his music, the things that he raps about. You shouldn't take everything as literal as it may look. I think it's all about that douche bag thing. You know, there he is on that couch with a drink in his hand and a phoenix naked. There's nothing wrong with that.

T.I. Denies He’s a “Snitch” - Rapper T.I. is still battling snitching rumors. In a recent interview with XXL, the rapper says his community service was a factor in him getting a plea deal, and not anything else. "Most muthaf---as catch cases and get time. My n---a, you wasn't doing sh-- when you was out here, so wasn't no reason for them to keep you out here." In March of last year he was sentenced to a year and a day and ordered to pay a $100,000 find and complete 1,500 hours of community service for weapons charges.

7 / 25

T.I. - I'm gonna take it a day at a time. I got a little while to plan. One thing I'm not gonna do is, I'm not gonna talk and make a whole lot of promises and do this or do that. I'm gonna speak more through my music and my actions. And I'm gonna let God lead me wherever that may be.

Ne-Yo on His Newborn Child - "I've been in love before, but this feels like nothing I've ever felt—like I'm in love for the first time."

8 / 25

Ne-Yo - I'm a Luda fan, all day long. I love that Luda is a guy that's not afraid to laugh at himself. That he's not afraid to bring humor to hip-hop. On top of that, he's an incredible lyricist and an incredible rapper, period.

Brandy on the R&B singer Aaliyah's 32nd birthday - "I miss you Aaliyah!! You truly are an angel.. Happy Birthday! You will forever be a gift. I love you!!!"

9 / 25

Brandy - I haven’t been with a man seriously and in love in six years. And, honestly, I tend to abstain if I’m not in a relationship.

Whoopi Goldberg - I had reached my saturation point. I had enough. As soon as I said the B word, I knew to get up and leave. Because I knew what was coming next. I was going to cuss him out.

Kim Kardashian - I don’t know [if I'll pose nude again]. I’m too old for that now…I wanted to get it all out of my system before I turned 30.

Erykah Badu - <B>Citation:</B> Beauty Error or Beauty Statement<BR><BR>Shadow that’s not on the eyes can be a little confusing, except when Erykah is involved. Her rebellious choice of eye shadow colors and her unique use of them are true to her style. Kids, don’t try this at home!<BR><BR><B>Verdict:</B> Case dismissed. It’s Erykah Badu people, she can totally rock this.

13 / 25

Erykah Badu - How y'all gone stand by and let our music turn into pop-techno cornball-ass music? We don't own our music no more. Come to think of it, did we ever own it? When I say own our music, I'm not talking bout the artist; I'm talking about the people.

Naomi Campbell - I study Kabbalah because it takes me to a positive, calm place. That’s what I use it for, and it helps me a lot. I’ve been in and out of Kabbalah since around 2000. It’s just something I have taken more seriously (recently).

J.Cole - I have an incredible song that I hope wins a Grammy. I pray to God. It's such an incredible song. I love it...It's a really J. Cole song, but in single form, big radio form, but still emotional, really deep, thought-provoking type of song.

15 / 25

J.Cole - Nah, I’m not engaged, man. I don’t even know where they got that from, but it’s weird to see my name on the rumors.

Kanye West - There were times that I contemplated suicide. I will not give up on life again. There’s so many people that will never get the chance to have their voice heard. I do it for them.

Stronger Than Pride - The 1988 release "Stronger Than Pride" spawned the singles "Paradise," "Nothing Can Come Between Us" and "Love Is Stronger Than Pride."

17 / 25

Sade - As for collaborations, I'm collaborating with the band and do what we do. I see myself as a member of this band who does these songs that we write.

Ice Cube - The industry got us out here on an island; we out here and we don't get no light or very little [light]. So artists have been tryna figure out what we need to do to get that light. And I feel like with this record, we don't need to do nothin', we do what we do, have fun with it. Do a record that fans would enjoy and kinda leave it at that and let the chips fall where they may.

Soulja Boy - So of course, watching 50, and him going through what he did--if there wasn't no 50 Cent, there would be no Soulja Boy. You know what I mean?

Monica - I hate to say this but I will no longer be on Twitter. I love the fact that I am able to speak to my REAL supporters but it has also become a way for people to do malicious things, when my sole intent was to spread positivity. I love u guys dearly and will find ways to stay in touch.

Diddy - My father was killed when I was 3 years old, and my mother was a very strong woman and she said, 'Well I loved your father and I'm not gonna have another man around. There's not gonna be anyone else around, and that's how it's gonna be.' But then on the flip side, I never got a chance to see the way a family lives.

21 / 25

Diddy - With the Nicki thing, that was even something me and her made sure we didn't define or kept a mystery. So I don't go around saying I'm her manager. We work together in a certain type of unofficial capacity. But I don't really know where they really got that from.

Slim Thug - See, I like Biggie. I think he jam or whatever. But, I don't think he put out enough music to be [considered] the best ever. He only put out two albums, due to him losing his life.

Christina Aguilera - It's not easy, and there have been a lot of tears and sadness. It's impossible to redefine yourself and your life overnight. Thankfully, I have my mom and a small group of close friends who are there for me 24/7 and whom I can trust and depend on.

Nick Cannon - They, ironically enough, questioned my wife about, you know, 'So, what are you having, are you having twins?' And at this point, she hadn't told anybody anything because doctors advised us to keep it to ourselves until we get further along. And because of the excitement, because of the emotion, she was overwhelmed [and] she shared with the president and first lady that we are having twins.

25 / 25

Nick Cannon - My parents were actually kids when they had me. My parents were still in high school and teenagers -- and we have a beautiful relationship. I'll probably be that same way.
