Taylor Swift tells Vogue magazine that she's trying to break the misconceptions that people have about her. “People see me and they think I'm this always smiling, always happy, All-American Girl. What they need to understand is I'm just like every other woman. I have bad hair days, I have days where I hate the entire world. Just because I'm famous and like to smile doesn't mean I'm some sort of superwoman who's better than everyone. I'm just me.”
Bebe Rexha tells Shape.com that she preferred to go on breakfast dates when she was younger. “Guys always wanted to do dinner dates. Dinner dates were too formal, too much for me. I always said I wanted to go on breakfast dates. Much more informal and fun in my opinion."
David Guetta tells Billboard magazine that life is about taking risks. “You can't let yourself get too entrenched in your comfortable little rut. You have to take chances, try new things, otherwise you don't grow. Don't let yourself become stale. Try at least one new thing a month.”
The Weeknd tells TheStar.com that the only person he competes with is himself.“I don't try to outdo those other artists. The only person I want to compete with is myself. I like some healthy competition with myself, so I do tend to try to outdo whatever I did last."
Sam Smith tells Standard.co.UK that he didn't realize how much being famous would change his life. “Relationships change and family can change. Money can change that, and fame. Fame is probably the biggest issue I have had in my life. It is this horrible one as you can’t moan about it as I know I am very, very lucky to be in my position, but life does get turned on its head. You have to find a new way to talk to people you love, and you lose people you love, which is the hardest part.”

O.J. Simpson for the Terminator!’ I said, ‘I actually think that’s a bad idea.’ It didn’t go anywhere.”
Heat magazine claims Jennifer Lopez allegedly wants Ben Affleck to get fillers to improve his look. A source tells the magazine, "Jen thinks Ben is the most handsome man ever, but she thinks he should have started these procedures years ago, even though she says she's never actually had them done herself. She thinks he needs a delicate amount of filler to iron out those crow's feet and Botox to soften his lined forehead- and a facelift might be a good idea. She obviously loves him no matter what, but jokes it wouldn't be a bad thing if they both held onto eternal youth. Jen is all about them looking every inch at the beautiful power couple and doesn't want her man covered in lines and wrinkles. And there are other parts of his body she wants to be sorted out, too. There's still that Phoenix tattoo on his back to take care of for a start.''
Radar Online claims Mariah Carey allegedly wants full custody of the twins she shares with Nick Cannon because he recently had a 12th child.

But she wants to put him on notice that he can't just flit in and out of their lives while he attends to his other children. And she wants legal standing as the twins' primary caregiver."
Newsweek magazine says one of Nick Cannon's baby's mamas, Bre Tiesi, says they did not enter into a contract pregnancy. A fan asked; "What made you want to be [a part] of the cult? Is it a contract pregnancy?" Bre responded; "Y'all need help ... contract pregnancy. I love Nick I love the person he is and the father he is. Make up whatever u want to process and justify the unconventional relationship we ain't bothered."
Epicstream, citing Radar Online, says Jeremy Renner's friends are worried he may no longer be able to do action movies because of the injuries he suffered as part of his snow plow accident. A source tells the news outlets, "Jeremy has already undergone two complex operations. But there are significant questions about whether he will ever be able to walk correctly, or at all. His loved ones are concerned that, if he doesn't completely lose the limb, the injury is severe enough to prohibit him from moving the way he used to. Jeremy could need surgically inserted rods to help his legs recover, but Dr. Gabe Mirkin, who isn't treating the actor for his injuries, cautioned that he might also have to undergo an amputation and use an artificial leg. This will be a long and slow recovery for him.”

Dear Fonseca
My six-year-old son wants to do everything his 16 year old brother does. My teen just got his left ear pierced. Now, my six-year-old wants to get his done. I'm all about self-expression, but I'm worried he may get teased at school because none of his friends have their ears pierced. My husband says we should allow our son to do it. He thinks if he gets teased it will help him grow thick skin and will help him learn the consequences of his actions. I'm leaning against it. I want to save my six-year-old from himself. What would you do if you were in my shoes? You can't save your kids forever!
