Gaga is going to be legendary. Beyoncé is going to be legendary. Rihanna is going to be legendary.” And somehow I realized that on tour, as I was looking at people’s faces. We’re just entertaining people, and it’s supposed to be fun."

The Internet reacts ...
“A man of the people”

“Love to see it! I’m not betting against this guy”

So that’s what professionals do. You focus at work when it’s time to work, and then when you come home you focus on the priorities that are at home. All you can do is the best you could do. That’s what I’ll just continue to do as long as I’m working and as long as I’m being a dad”
Elite Daily says Prince Harry tried to get several of his ex-girlfriends to contribute to his upcoming memoir. A source tells the website, “Harry did reach out. Friends and girlfriends were polite and said they would think about it but ultimately most said ‘No'. It was felt to be kind of ironic that Harry would hit the roof if he ever had an inkling they spoke to the media, but now he wants them to when he needs their help. There is a real concern that that means Harry has had to sex up the book and include revelations that even he might not even be that comfortable with. The publishers wanted more areas covered and more detail on some things that were already included.”

Epicstream says Ben Affleck is paying for Jennifer Lopez's expensive tastes. A source tells the website, "He's like her personal bank account. He pays for their private jet flights, their vacations, hotels, lavish gifts from clothing to jewelry, and fine dining whenever they go out.

It's pretty ironic since he's not worth nearly what she is — but he knows he's paying off an emotional, as well as financial, debt."

Dear Fonseca
I am being chastised for the candy I gave out last night. I live in one of our area's most affluent neighborhoods. You can probably guess which one it is. I had parents and kids criticizing me for handing out Fun Size candy bars. They said I'm cheap and should be handing out full size candy bars because we're wealthy and have the money. One family even said I have an obligation to do so. I felt guilty as I went to bed. I woke up this morning not knowing what to feel. Am I cheap? Do I have an obligation?
