WORD? CELEBRITY QUOTES FOR THE WEEK OF SEPT. 17
Who did Waka Flocka Flame feel like when he heard about his Hip Hop Awards nods.
1 / 31
Nicki Minaj - Everything would be white and soft pink. I hate red. I'd be wearing a strapless dress, gripping around the waist, with a never-ending train. No shoes, just my feet in the sand." As for guests, there's room for little Barbies and a special performer not in Lil Wayne's crew.

Kanye West - In a way, I had thrown a Molotov cocktail at my own career, and it gave me an opportunity, for the first time, to go away and find out who I was. Because I felt very alone.
3 / 31
Waka Flocka Flame - Ah man, I feel like Rocky. I feel like Rocky when he screamed out Adrian. Man, I feel good. You know [getting nominated], you're gonna be cheesing, getting goosebumps and all of that, getting scared that you might even win it. It's just a feeling of being happy, success, almost.

Drake - My mom was actually like, 'What happened? How did you elope?' But we were just joking around. I never thought it would get so out of hand...Ironically, I got a ring for myself, so people were like, 'Aw, you got married, and you have a ring you're wearing. People still think it's real. I'll look at a girl, and she'll be like, 'You're a married man. You shouldn't look at me that way.

Michael Bivins - These brothers have been through something — Jay's struggle and Eminem's recovery — and it comes across as entertainment, and I think it comes off as incredible.

Eminem - Both cities were crazy. I had a lot of fun.
7 / 31
Rihanna - It really killed me that I couldn't be here and actually, luckily, I got the day off and Eminem called me the day before and said, 'Please, I'm having a really hard time doing this without you.' We had a really great song.
8 / 31
LaLa Vazquez - You have the fun aspect of my friends giving me advice and throwing me a bachelorette party. You see celebrities, everybody from Ludacris, Kim Kardashian,Ciara, Kelly Rowland and Tyrese really joining me before I get married.

will.i.am. - Just because I [wear] all black including head mask as expression and emphasize my outfit, it shouldn't be looked at as racial...There are far more important things 2 bark about. (Jobs, health, education) not a black man wearing all black everything. Are you guys serious? My outfit set 'black people back 100 years' choose your twits wisely. No education sets people back, no jobs, bad health.

Lady Gaga - Well, it is certainly no disrespect to anyone that is vegan or vegetarian. As you know, I am the most judgment-free human being on the earth. However, it has many interpretations, but for me this evening … If we don’t stand up for what we believe in and if we don’t fight for our rights, pretty soon we’re going to have as much rights as the meat on our own bones. And I am not a piece of meat.

Fantasia - I feel like I put enough out there. I don’t need people knowing where I’m at, what I’m doing … I don’t need all that.
12 / 31
Justin Bieber - I'm single. I'm kind of looking, but I'm kind of trying to stay single.
13 / 31
Petey Pablo - [It] looks terrible. A lot of people were disappointed. Understand, the situation...anybody that knows me knows that I ain't gonna do nothin' stupid. We don't do stupid things.
14 / 31
Lloyd Banks - I wish I could have been there. What she's done for hip-hop as a whole is incredible. I'm excited to hear what her new music will sound like. I don't think anyone has come close to Lauryn in hip-hop.
15 / 31
Ron Artest - I gave my ticket to my daughter. She wanted to see the show. I didn't get to see it. I let her go. It's all about her.

Travie McCoy - I was still in high school. I was a freshman. I got to school and kids were crying. Kids were upset. I was like, 'What's going on?' I hadn't heard the news. I thought somebody in the school had died.
17 / 31
Rick Ross - I'm from Carol City, and in Carol City we got a park [where] if somebody passes away, we go to the park. So if something happen, we split up, go to the park. So I'll never forget: I was coming home and riding by the park. I saw all my homies, Chevys lined up. I was like, 'Damn, somebody died.'
18 / 31
Katy Perry - I think Nicki Minaj is the truth. I think she is amazing, and I love her sense of style. I love her beautiful figure. It's hot.
19 / 31
Steve Harvey - I bet you there’s not a funnier game show on TV. We’ve done some pretty incredible stuff so far.
20 / 31
Jennifer Hudson - I go into the store and they try to put me in 4s and 6s and I’m like [she looks over both shoulders] ‘Who are you trying to talk to?' My mind hasn’t caught up yet. But no matter what, I’ve always been a person who’s comfortable with myself whether it’s plus-size, small size it doesn’t matter.

Nas - I'm unloading records I want the streets to hear. Cleaning out my hard drives. Gonna do this [Lost Tapes 2], then start fresh. I'm dropping my solo LP before the summer of 2011. I love the energy the world has been giving me over the last two years. But now it's time to focus on owning the streets again.
22 / 31
Pusha T - I'm definitely doing my solo project through G.O.O.D. Music. The Clipse is definitely coming with a new Clipse project. We're definitely coming with the Re-Up Gang project. The family is still here, man. It's just all about G.O.O.D. Music, straight up.

Nelly - Like, the record with Taraji [P. Henson], it didn't happen. I didn't get back in with Janet [Jackson] on this record either, I know we were trying to figure out some other records. But, for the most part, the album is done.
24 / 31
Mary J. Blige - I thought: courageous. She's a courageous chick.
25 / 31
Nick Cannon - She will make an outstanding mother!

Kim Kardashian - ‘The Bliebers’, they threatened to kill me. I really got death threats, it was insane. But he told them to back off and they did. I think it was all like a joke.
27 / 31
50 Cent - It’s wrong to make jokes and promote violence against the gay community. Taking down the post is not enough. We wanted him to tell his Twitter followers that what he did was wrong.
