November 12th, 2011

Model/author Tyra Banks is featured in Germany’s I Love You magazine for their No. 7 Winter 2011/2012 issue. Inside the “The Wrong Issue,” the America’s Next Top Model creator shared how she really felt about her modeling career, while walking the runway and posing for popular magazines:

“Even though I was on the cover of magazines, it felt like I was living the wrong life.” [Source]

Hmm… Check out Drake’s interview with GQ below…

DRAKE TALKS IDEAL GIRL & CRITICS W/ ‘GQ’

Aubrey Graham aka “Drizzy Drake” sat down with GQ magazine and talked about his album Take Care, how he thinks his ideal girl is somewhere in New York and what he wishes people would stop saying about him as a rapper:

On how his ideal girl would be:
Who’s the ideal girl? She is very funny, very supportive, understands that right now I’m trying to build with somebody. The ideal girl is driven, working on something other than modeling or being a singer…Or being seen. She’s probably in New York to be honest with you. There are a lot of good women in New York.

On how he wishes his critics would view him:
That’s tough. I wish that we lived in a time and a generation where people would stop viewing my honesty as overly emotional. People always act like I spend my life crying in a dark room. I don’t, I’m good. I’m a man. I want to be remembered as an artist that gave you a piece of me, as opposed to some surface bullsh*t. I don’t think people realize that we die, we leave here, and either they forget about you or remember you. And how they remember you is up to you. I just want to be remembered as a poet that was open and honest because I wake up every morning and I’m me. [Source]

    Love Tyra! She is a hard working woman and such a powerful and inspirational role model! I really wish our young black women would try 2 aspire to more classy like Tyra.

    Love Drake. I am very excited about his album! I believe that he is a biracial man and should not have to choose. I am sick of black people claiming everyone. Clearly, Drake is half black.
