Nick Cannon (@NickCannon) - Nick Cannon may have released a diss song toward Eminem, but he's extended an olive branch. Well, sort of.  TWEET:  "My first guest I want on the new season of WILDnOUT is @Eminem and @ChelseaHandler! Both of those men need to step up! LOL Let's get it!"

2 / 25

Nick Cannon - It's a different type of strength to carry around two babies. She's not even concerned with her aches and pains which I'm sure are great. She's so nurturing right now. It's wonderful. It's amazing to see.

Taraji Henson - I just want a good guy who just makes me laugh. I would rather him be behind the scenes or in business.

No Cover - With the third installment of XXL’s coveted list approaching, Drake and Nicki Minaj will not be sharing the cover with the industry’s “New Breed of Hustlers.” “Technically, we were freshmen when they didn’t put us on," Drake told Imflashy.com. "So now, I just feel like we’re returning the favor.”

4 / 25

Nicki Minaj - That energy is amazing. I just have a special place for him. He always makes me feel like it’s OK. You know, just chill, relax, jokes. It’s never to the point where I don’t want to be there anymore, ‘Let’s wrap this up.’ Having Drake there, it felt like we could have shot a second day for this video, and I could be fine.

Kimora Lee Simmons - I want him to be like his dad: cool, laid back, manly, sophisticated and smart, compassionate, warm and sweet!

Campbell May Testify in “Blood Diamonds” Trial - Prosecutors trying Liberia’s former president Charles Taylor for war crimes want to subpoena supermodel Naomi Campbell to testify about being given uncut diamonds by Taylor at a reception in 1997. Taylor denies he aided rebels during Sierra Leone’s civil war in exchange for diamonds. But Campbell’s testimony would provide “direct evident of the accused’s possession of rough diamonds,” a prosecutor stated.

6 / 25

Naomi Campbell - I didn't like the way I was. Drink and drugs are an allergy for me, and they don't make me a better person.

Tracy Morgan - Sarah Palin, you're the hottest MILF in the world! She's a MILF!

Harry Belafonte - If he doesn’t have an active society, if he doesn’t have an active Black community, if he doesn’t have an active Native American community, if he doesn’t have an active women’s community, he doesn’t have to do anything but duck bullets from the opposition.

Diddy - We may have MJ to thank for Puff's "Can't Stop, Won't Stop" motto. “There’s few things in life that change your life," Diddy told the Associated Press. "Michael Jackson changed my life when I saw him moonwalk, when I heard him sing, when I’ve seen him perform. He was life- changing. He’s the greatest artist of our time."

11 / 25

Diddy - Criticism makes me better because I see some truth in the criticism. I'm the sort of person who's looking to hear how I can get better.

Jennifer Lopez - La Lopez sparkled, of course, at the 11th Annual Latin Grammy Awards, held at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas on Nov 11.

12 / 25

Jennifer Lopez - ‘You're judging on American Idol and people say you can't sing!' and I was like, really? Well, first of all those are haters. And I don't really have time for that. There's just too much beautiful things in my life. But to be quite honest, I'm very proud of who I am as a vocalist.

Tyrese - I have dreams & visions sometimes... I envisioned Malcolm-X Baptizing Tupac...

Done Deal - Star Jones and Al Reynolds are officially free of each other. The two reached a last-minute settlement Tuesday, moments before they were set to appear in court. Reynolds was said to be upset about his cut for playing hubby to Jones – which left him with “basically nothing,” sources said.

14 / 25

Al Reynolds - I feel like for me, I was pretty much raked over the coals, so the reference from that has done nothing but make me stronger, smarter and wiser. And a little bit more cautious to not make the same mistakes twice.

50 Cent - When I look at them actually competing, I don't see anything.  I think it's harmless. It adds an interesting story and other interests to them, because Kim is the original, I believe, and Nicki is the right now. How do you get in the middle of a girl fight?

Teyana Taylor - I just got my own TV show with MTV. A reality show. It’ll be raw and real—none of that scripted stuff.

R. Kelly - I love doing concept albums more than any other kind of album-it allows me to get dressed, in a way, musically. Once I create that music, then the lyrical content starts to come-you know, the stories and things like that.

Wiz Khalifa - Down the line, I don’t know where it got messed up. And this is a short amount of time that we’re talking about too. It’s just real unfortunate, because I’m such a positive person. So it kind of sucked when I get on there and see her talking so bad. I’m not the first rapper that she’s ever met before.

Couple No More - Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush are a couple no more. Kardashian's publicist confirmed the split. They'd been together for about two years. Kardashian had talked about the difficulties with a long-distance relationship on her reality show on E!

19 / 25

Kim Kardashian - There's this, you know, embarrassment and shame and so much that comes along with it. And I think that I was so lucky to find a boyfriend at that time in Reggie - we were together for four years - and that was something that he really helped me through. He picked me up when I couldn't pick myself up.

Angela Basset - When I look at a role, I will deliberately find the joy, the sensitivity, the strength, the vulnerability, the resilience. Because that's what I appreciate about women and Black women, in particular. That's what I want to celebrate—our resilience and our strength...

Mike Tyson - Mike Tyson wears an elaborate tribal symbol surrounding his left eye, making him more notorious both in and out of the boxing ring.

Mike Tyson - I like going to war, he likes getting licked on.

Brian White - I’m still an athlete, I’m still a stockbroker, I’m still an actor. I think of it as more of an opening of new doors than an actual transition. I enjoy all of those things, which is why they remain a part of my life.

Michelle Williams - I miss the collaboration. I miss us getting our hair and makeup done as a group. I miss Kelly being so chipper in the morning, and I’m not a morning person. Sometimes we would have to side-eye each other and be like, ‘Girl, it’s way too early in the morning for that.’ I doubt any reunion tours will take place. But no matter what we make sure we have our girl time.

Niecy Nash - I am telling you, I was so excited to find the man, I didn't even think about planning. I am a woman who does not have the bride gene. No bridezilla here! I haven't been planning a wedding since I was three. I have to go to the experts to say, 'What am I supposed to do here?'

Method Man - I didn’t want to upset none of my sisters. You’re beautiful no matter which way you are, I just have my preference.

25 / 25

Method Man - No. I don’t like peasy afros, sorry. I don’t like dreads either. I like a woman to get her hair did.
