BEYONCE'S FULL PHOTOSPREAD IN ESSENCE MAGAZINE'S NOVEMBER 2008 ISSUE.

My blogsister Ms. Chi-Chi (you can peep her celebrity news and fashion blog UrbanHoopla by clicking HERE) sent these scans from Beyonce's Essence magazine photospread to me today. The only reason why I'm reposting them is because they're much bigger than than the ones I originally posted a couple of days ago. Now, if you're an avid reader of RealGossip 101, you probably know that anytime I post magazine scans of any celebrity, nine times out of ten I'm going to also include excerpts from their interview. However, since Essence.com basically released all of the newsworthy excerpts from Bey's interview, there really isn't anything left that I'd deem worthy enough to post (you all can read those excerpts HERE and HERE). So in the meantime and in between time, check out the pics below by clicking on them to see their full image.

BEYONCE FINALLY DISHES DETAILS OF HER WEDDING & MARRIAGE TO ESSENCE MAGAZINE + AUDIO CLIPS OF HER 2 NEW SINGLES.

Better savor it. This may be the one and only time Beyonce talks about her marriage to her husband of 6 months, Jay-Z, their private wedding, if they have decided to have children and of course her new album. Below are more excerpts from Beyonce's interview. To listen to Beyonce's two new singles If I Were a Boy and Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It), click here.

BEYONCE ON MAINTAINING HER PRIVACY: "I feel that, especially now, with the Internet and paparazzi and camera phones, it's so difficult to maintain mystery. And that's so important. Even in a relationship, I feel like not being that accessible is really important. If you think about Prince or Michael Jackson, or any superstars, you couldn't see them when they got off their planes or when they got out of the pool and didn't comb their hair. It's great that people see we're not perfect. But it's almost impossible to have superstars now, because people will never get enough. And it's not even about my music. It's about all the things that people imagine about me in their minds. But I can't satisfy everyone. I know that Jay and I probably do inspire people. And I appreciate people feeling proud. But this is the only way I've been able to stay sane, so why would I start talking now? [Not speaking] controls your brand. It controls what you want to put out there and kind of forces people to talk about what you want them to talk about. We decide everything. My word is my word. What Jay and I have is real. It's not about interviews or getting the right photo op. It's real."

The folks over there at Essence must have caught Beyonce when she was in a good mood because Mrs. Carter eventually revealed details about her and Jay's private wedding. Beyoncé tells the magazine that the wedding was very small and intimate, because she's not a "traditional" woman and having it be "her day" wasn't something she needed. Being a star and walking the red carpet has diminished the need for that over the years. "It's been my day so many days already," she told the magazine. She didn't want an engagement ring because "people put too much emphasis on that. It's just material, and it's just silly to me," she said. While she wouldn't discuss how Hova proposed, or even if he proposed ("We've been together a long time. We always knew it would happen," is all she would offer), Beyoncé did reveal this: They plan to have kids. Someday. And perhaps as soon as after she puts out this album.

Below are several outtakes from Bey's magazine shoot.

BEYONCE COVERS ESSENCE MAGAZINE; SINGER DISHES ON NEW ALBUM, CHURCH & WHY SHE DOESN'T WANT TO BE REMEMBERED AS A MEMBER OF DESTINY'S CHILD.

I told yall the Bey-mocracy was coming and she's taking no prisoners. Bey the beautiful is featured on the November 2008 cover issue of Essence magazine and she's sounding off on her six months marriage to Jay-Z and her new album (in stores November 18), which she says is her most personal album to date, why she insist on attending church services (which must be a strain considering she is Beyonce Knowles), being a superwoman and why she doesn't want to be remembered as a member of Destiny's Child. Beyonce also puts to rest rumors suggesting the delay of her new album is due in part to creative differences she's having with her hubby and her father Mathew Knowles. Check out a couple of excerpts from her interview below. I'll have HQ scans from her Essence photospread up later.

BEYONCE ON HER NEW ALBUM: "I wanted to address my fans about my upcoming album. I have worked on this album for close to one year. I have taken the time so I can create my sound. Something that says who I am at this stage in my life. I have poured my heart and soul into it. It is my baby. It is the most time I have spent on any project since my first records as a member of Destiny's Child when I was 15 years old. I have recorded over 70 songs and have created a sound that reveals all of me. I am in a different place right now and I wanted people to see the many sides of me. The music is upbeat for the dance, fun side and it is reflective, passionate and serious for the personal side. I have taken risks here. I am not afraid and my music will explain it all. There is no label or tag on my sound. It's me and I am so excited to share it with the world on November 18."

BEYONCE ON ATTENDING CHURCH: "I completely believe that you don't have to go to church at all if you are disciplined enough to sit down and dedicate time to pray and get to know God and read the Bible. But me, it's better for me to go to church because it's hard to, for real, sit down by myself for that long, as long as I would be just totally committing myself in my house with the TV on and the distractions. It's way harder to do that than to go to church with a bunch of people who believe in God, where you can just feel it so much more."

BEYONCE ON HOW SHE WANTS TO BE REMEMBERED: "I don't want to be remembered as a member of this huge group that, you know, did whatever. I want to be acknowledged as a woman in a very talented group with great harmonies and great songs that made history and changed the culture of women, not only in America but all over the world. (A woman) who could sing a cappella and write her own songs and produce her own songs."

MO'NIQUE IN OCTOBER 2008 ISSUE OF ESSENCE MAGAZINE; ACTRESS SPILLS THE TEA ON BEING MOLESTED BY HER BROTHER; HER NEW MOVIE ROLE. IS SHE OSCAR BOUND?

For the umpteenth time, actress/comedian/author Mo’Nique is featured on the cover of Essence magazine’s October 2008 issue where she reveals a painful yet unfunny secret she’s been keeping to herself for the past 25 years: she was sexually abused by her older brother from the age of 7 until she was 11 years old. ‘I was molested by my older brother. And even when I confronted him and told my parents, he said I was lying and nothing was really done,’ she says. Wow, right? From the way I’ve heard her speak about her relationship with her father, who doted on night and day, it makes me wonder why he wouldn’t believe his baby girl. Anyhoo, Mo’Nique, now 40 years old, says her brother, who is 10 years older than her, molested her four times over the next four years after following her into the bathroom and giving her candy. When she turned 15, Mo’Nique finally mustered up enough courage to tell her parents again after a very violent episode (which she didn’t discuss in the article) took place. And although she says she doesn’t blame her parents for what happened to her, she says there were times when she was angry at them.

“I’m not blaming my parents because me and my brother were both their children, and I just don’t know the kind of position they felt they were in. My father was very upset, but it never got mentioned again. I’ll never forget my mother saying, ’If it’s true, it will surface again,’ and I remember thinking, Why would I lie? Why is there even an if in this? I was angry with them for so long, because I felt as if they should have seen what was happening. It seems celebrities always come out with these stories. But we’re real people, and a lot of real people get molested."

As for her brother, Mo’Nique has thought about the repercussions her revelation could have on him, saying:

“It makes me nervous. It’s like, Oh, God, what will it do to him when people read this? And then another part of me is like, Goddammit it, it’s my obligation to let people know, and to tell women to watch their children. I’ve never gotten a genuine ‘I’m sorry’ from my brother. He still acts like he doesn’t know what I’m talking about. So screw hurting your feelings! You need to get your feelings hurt, and you need to get some help. Because I never said anything--didn’t go to the police or a counselor--my brother went on to do terrible things to someone else. He went on to sexually abuse another girl.”

For that crime, her brother was arrested, convicted and served 15 years in prison.

"[After my birth delivery] my mother put my twin boys (who are now three years old) in my brother’s arms and I suddenly thought, I can’t do this anymore. I can’t pretend. I didn’t want to make a scene at the hospital, but when I got home I called my brother and said, ‘You know what? If I never see you again in life, I’m okay. I wish you no harm, but I don’t choose to ever deal with you again.’…Parents, please listen if your baby comes to you and says anything like ‘I was uncomfortable with the way he looked at me or the way he touched me.’ Listen to them. Molestation has a damaging effect. I tried on several occasions to turn the pain of molestation into humor, but never could. I was too embarrassed to do therapy because I was always told it was a White woman’s thing. But therapy for me has been beautiful because I’m learning not to be a victim."

Mo'Nique's has not been in touch with her brother since.

AFTER THE JUMP, READ ABOUT THE NEW MOVIE ROLE THAT ENCOURAGED MO’NIQUE TO SPILL HER SECRET & WHY FOLKS IN THE INDUSTRY ARE ALREADY MAKING HER NAME SYNONYMOUS WITH THE WORDS ‘ACADEMY AWARD.’

With Pepa and Faith releasing their tell-all books to reveal to the world what they went through, what prompted Mo’Nique to reveal her most darkest secret is her dramatic role in the new film Push. And if it’s as gritty as she says it is, we may not recognize the woman we’ve come to know as the funny and unpredictable Ms. Nikki Parker. In Push, which is directed by Monster’s Ball director Lee Daniels, Mo’Nique plays Mary Jones, a woman who sexually violates her own daughter---she forces her child to perform oral sex on her, beats her, makes her gorge on food--and let’s her husband continue the abuse by raping their daughter, getting her pregnant twice. Talk about being dysfunctional!! This movie, as well as Mo’Nique’s performance in it is so unimaginably ugly, unyielding and downright deplorable that some folks in the industry are already saying that this movie can do for Mo’Nique what Monster’s Ball did for Halle Berry--earn her an Academy Award.

"The boldness and honesty she brings to this character takes my breath away," says Daniel. "She metamorphoses into an absolute beast. Sometimes I had to step away and do a double take, because I found myself completely not recognizing her." Mo'Nique adds, "My brother was a monster to me. When Lee would say 'Action,' I became my brother."

LAMMAN RUCKER WANTS YOU TO KNOW HE ISN'T PERFECT + ACTOR SENDS A SPECIAL MESSAGE TO ALL OF HIS FEMALE FANS.

(see full version by clicking HERE.

CLICK HERE TO READ MORE NEWS ON LAMMAN RUCKER ON BLACKCELEBRITYMEN.BLOGSPOT.COM!)

I've been meaning to do a blog post on Lamman Rucker for the longest of time, but somehow it just kept slipping my mind, if you can believe that. It was until FAMUDiva reminded me of what I was supposed to do that I finally got the molasses out of my ass. So, all you Lamman fans have her to thank! I grabbed the following excerpt from an interview Lamman did nearly a year ago! I'm not sure if his feelings have changed since then, but it's still Lamman-newsworthy as far as I'm concerned and I have to admit, after reading what he had to say, it only made me adore him even more. With his sexy self! LOL! Anyhoo, in the interview, published in the Pittsburgh Courier, he was asked to share something about himself that people didn't already know. Check out what he said:

"I’d like people to know that I am not perfect. I hope people see me as a positive role model and an accessible example of what a good man is, but I am also a work in progress. I’m confident and believe that I’m destined for great things, but I wanna make sure people know that we all make mistakes, have fears, get our feelings hurt, experience insecurity, have flaws and have experienced loss, abandonment and disrespect. I have to make a conscious choice to “choose joy” everyday —love of myself, love of God and love for others and walk in that love very deliberately. Life gets me down, at times, too. But I work to persevere and pick my spirit up so I can keep moving forward."

If that ain't keeping it real to the nth degree, I don't know what is. I damn near cried after reading that. Bless his handsome heart.

Lamman also saw fit to thank you ladies, I'm pretty sure that included you too, FAMUDiva, for voting for him in Essence (click the banner up above for more info) magazine's 'Do Right Man of the Year' contest. Now, truthfully speaking. And I'm just being honest, but I do not understand how Lamman lost that much-deserved and coveted title to the other dude whose name I can't even remember. But I also don't understand why Essence chose to put men like Lavan Davis on the list. Broke my mama's heart when she found out dude was 40 years old and not 50-something like she thought. Here's Lamman's special message to all of you.

"I wanted to take a very special moment and thank all of you for your endless support and encouragement for my 2008 Do Right Man feature. I am extremely flattered by the overwhelming response and show of love. I cherish all your positive energy, compassionate testimonies, beautiful photos and words of inspiration. Though time does not permit me to respond to each of you, know that I deeply appreciate each and every one of you. Thank you again for holding me close to your heart. There's no place I'd rather be! :-)

Stay in touch!
Yours Truly,
Lamman Rucker "

I don't like to call out my readers and whatnot, but why do I have the distinct feeling that FAMUDiva was one of the hundreds of women who emailed Lamman all of her personal information? For the record, I'm only calling her out because I know her like that!

AFTER THE JUMP, FIND OUT WHAT TV PROJECTS LAMMAN HAS UP HIS SLEEVE.

When it comes to television, Lamman isn't content with just being someone's on-screen eye candy...he's intends to work behind the scenes as well.

"I definitely have plans to have my own TV show. It may not be called “The Lamman Rucker Show” but I will have a couple of different things, eventually, that will have me at the forefront of the show or in a position of power over what the show is. I have three ideas in development right now. I plan to cover every genre of television: sitcom, one-hour drama, made-for-TV movies, a talk show, a reality show, a new soap opera, educational programming, spiritual enrichment, etc. I’m trying to do what Dr. Bill Cosby, Tyler Perry, Kelsey Grammer and Yvette Lee Bowser have been doing."

NEW PICS: BARACK OBAMA & FAMILY PHOTOSPREAD IN SEPTEMBER 2008 ISSUE OF ESSENCE MAGAZINE.

The Obamas are featured in the September 2008 issue of ESSENCE magazine. According to Essence.com, ESSENCE magazine became the only Black publications who was given a glimpse into the Obamas $1.65 million dollar spacious Hyde Park home on Chicago's Black Southside. In this collector's edition ESSENCE captures Michelle, Barack and their two adorable and darling daughters, 10-year-old Malia and 7-year-old Sasha at home.

Below are a couple of excerpts from their in-depth article. I thoroughly enjoyed it. To read the entire article, where the Obamas discussed their life on the road, criticism of Michelle, and reaction to Barack's controversial comments about Black men, make a stop at your local newsstand to pick up this issue or subscribe to ESSENCE magazine today by clicking on the ESSENCE banner at the top of this page.

MICHELLE OBAMA ON BARACK AS A FATHER: "The thing that Barack does is that when he is there, he is a parent. He's not like a play dad. He's the guy who has read through all of the Harry Potter books with Malia. Barack is very good about understanding that the kids and their structure and stability are important. And he's somebody who, if there's discipline that needs to be handed down, he doesn't hesitate just because he hasn't seen them in a week."

BARACK OBAMA ON MICHELLE'S 'I'M EVERY WOMAN' STANCE: "Michelle has done a heroic job at managing the house, the family and still finding time to campaign and be out on the road. I'm always marveling at everything that she can do. 'I'm every woman,' he croons. "That's Michelle. It's like, Chaka Khan! Chaka Khan!"

USHER'S WIFE, TAMEKA OPENS UP ABOUT THEIR HYPER-ACTIVE BABY, USHER AS A DAD, HAVING MORE KIDS, USHER'S REMAINING HANDFUL OF FEMALE FANS.

Usher's wife, Tameka Foster, attended Holly Robinson and her husband Rodney Peete 10th Annual DesignCure Benefit for the HollyRod Foundation fundraising party in Malibu, California this past weekend (see above picture). While there, Foster, who the media hasn't heard from or seen since Usher's flop of an album was released last May, was cornered by HipHopHollywood.com who asked her about her hubby and son's Essence magazine pictorial, Usher's relationship with their son Usher V (a.k.a. Cinco) as well as the fun and cute things he (Cinco, not Usher!) does at home. Although he's only seven months old, he's more energetic, hyper, and let Tameka tell it, and advanced as a toddler going through their terrible twos!

TAMEKA ON CINCO: "He's like hyper baby. He's crawling. He crawls really fast already. He stands up, and he's walking around the table. It's amazing to watch him. I've never seen a baby crawl so fast! I call him Dash, like on the Incredibles (2004 Pixar movie). We're just scared because the baby knows how to get off the bed already, so our bed is like a gigantic crib because we have rails. It's hilarious! Can you imagine a king-size crib? He holds his bottle with one hand. He's only seven and a half months. He's just really advanced. He's an advanced baby, honestly. I'm not saying that because he's mind, but he really is. Motherhood is wonderful. Every day is a new challenge with him."

TAMEKA ON USHER AS A DAD: "He's a very good dad. He's a great dad. He's very attentive. He sings to him. He talks to him. He's a great father. [Cinco] looks just like his dad. I know."

TAMEKA ON USHER & CINCO'S ESSENCE MAGAZINE PHOTOSPREAD: "Babies change so much, so it probably not a big deal to see him at one month or two months, but then, you know, people can be cruel and it's so many, like, different opinions and stuff so we kind of wanted to just cherish the moment of him just being a baby for while and Essence has been very good to us, so we thought that would be a good first-look for him.

And even though Usher and Tameka, who quietly married last August, have their hands full with baby Usher, they're looking forward to expanding their brood. "I'd love to have more. We just gotta make the time," she admitted. She isn't the only one who'd like to make time for her husband. Usher says his wife far from feeling envious of his legions of female fans and she has adjusted to the fact that since they tied the knot, her husband now has maybe just a small handful of pressed female admirers vying for his attention. He explains, "Tameka doesn't mind when the fans throw their underwear at me. Being a sex symbol pays the bills. And she knows that."

Boy, you better stop playing!

NEW PICS: GABRIELLE UNION AT THE LOS ANGELES PREMIERE OF 'MEET DAVE.'

Speaking of funky Eddie, dude left Gabrielle Union hanging at the Los Angeles premiere of soon-to-flop Meet Dave on Tuesday night. According People.com, Murphy went ghost at the event because he 'was busy' on the set of his next film, A Thousand Words which is filming...in Santa Monica, California. "He's not here because he's doing a movie and shooting – he goes back-to-back-to-back," producer David T. Friendly told People on the premiere's red carpet. "Eddie, he'll never admit it, but he loves to work. And I think work keeps him happy." Murphy's co-star Union said the actor is "at peace" after recent activity that included a sudden split from his fiancée Tracey Edmonds last winter. "He's a really cool guy," says Union. "His kids were always on set. He's just really cool and at peace with himself."

And for those of you who were wondering if the short-do Gabrielle sported on the cover of the July 2008 issue of Essence magazine was a wig or the star's own hair, the answer is the latter. A couple of hours ago, I caught an entertainment news update on TV One that showed behind the scenes footage of Gabrielle as she sat in a salon chair while her hairstylist hacked her mid-length locks into an eccentric bob. Why she doesn't sport the do now still remains a mystery to me.

*UPDATED WITH NEW PICS* + VIDEO: USHER INTRODUCES HIS SON, USHER RAYMOND VI IN ESSENCE MAGAZINE'S AUGUST '08 ISSUE.

R&B artist Usher is showing off his baby son in a touching new photoshoot for Essence magazine. Father and son, Usher Raymond V, appear together on the cover of the new magazine with the adorable tot sporting a woollen onepiece and a country cap. Inside the August 2008 issue of the magazine, Usher dances for his staring child in one lovely shot, and the pair poses topless for two stunning family photos. The final portrait, taken by snapper Timothy White, features little Usher asleep in his father's arms. In the accompanying article, an article where Usher sounds as if he's finally speaking with the common sense God gave him before he lost his ever-loving mind, the singer tells actor/author Hill Harper his baby son has changed his life. He explains, "I thought I had felt love before. But the moment I heard my child's voice, I broke down and cried." And now, Usher Sr. insists his leading goal in life is to become a role model for the tot: "He's gonna admire me, he's gonna look up to me. He's gonna say...'I wanna be like my father. I wanna be a man of valor. I wanna possess what my father has as a man.'" To get married was a choice. To have a child is a responsibility." When Harper asked the singer what would he say to young men and women about what they should expect from a man who's a father, Usher replied, "That man would accept his responsibilities as a father, regardless of whether he was with the mother of the child. Men will leave a situation for several reasons. One, it's not comfortable. It may be violent. The two of you may grow apart. But you should never abandon that responsibility, which is to be there, reading with your child, being supportive of your child's growth. That is communicating. That is making the choice to put your child before your own vanity."

Usher also hits back at suggestions he named his baby son after himself to boost his own ego insisting it was his tot's uncanny resemblance to him which prompted the decision. The star says he's angered his son's name has provoked such a negative reaction. He says, "He's called Usher because he looks so much like me. He looks so much like me it would have been hard to call him anything else. It was the obvious choice. It's really changed me for the better, he's a great kid."

Underwood revealed to Essence: “I was there with my wife Desiree when each of our children was born, and although I know it’s humanly impossible to be there every second of every day, it’s a joy to watch as their personalities blossom. The greatest reward is when the lessons, thoughts and ideas you’ve tried to teach them begin to connect. They’re constantly evolving, and I love every minute of being their father. Their grandmother, my mother, used to always say, ’Don’t let anybody shake your tree.’ When you know who you are, nobody can take you off your game, and I want to empower my kids with a sense of self so that they know who they are-in their heritage, their culture, as human beings and as children of God. It’s important to me that they carry themselves with boldness and humility. They are my legacy.”

Wesley Snipes is pictured in the third pic with three of his five children as he teaches them how to cross the street? The hell if I know. My head is hurting at the thought of breaking down the numbher of kids he has with the number of women...or something like that. I'll get to him later.

“When my wife Marjorie and I got married, she had three children and I had four [the couple will celebrate their first anniversary this month]. The union of our family has been the greatest thing ever to happen to me. The kids all call me Dad. I tell my boys not to play rough with their younger sister. I try to teach them what I know already: "You’re never going to win an argument with a girl, so just let her have what she wants!” Being a parent has shown me that I’m a little bit softer than I thought I was. While my younger kids get away with far less than their older siblings because I’ve seen it all before, they all come talk to me because they know I won’t judge them.”

Although Al and Quincy's brother Lil B. Sure were ghost at Quincy's 16th Stunting Like My Daddy (Diddy)-themed birthday party, Quincy made sure to be in attendance to watch his Pops celebrate his 40th birthday at R&B Live Hollywood earlier this month. The cutie you see pictured with Al is his daughter (who turns 16-years old next month) daughter Paige Hurd. If she looks familiar to you that's because she's also an actress best known for her role as Queen Latifah's daughter in Beauty Shop. She also plays the on-again/off-again love interest of Chris Rock's character in the CW's Everybody Hates Chris. The picture you see below is from MTV's Rock the Cradle where both Paige and Quincy attended to support their brother as he and his BFF, Landon Brown, were booted from the show.

And here's a little unknown fact some of you all didn't know: Al, who co-wrote Jodeci's early 90s hit-song Forever My Lady, says the inspiration for the song came from his girlfriend at the time: KIM PORTER, who was pregnant with their son Quincy, who was named after Al's mentor, Quincy Jones. Now, ain't that something? I read that in a January '08 issue of Jet magazine. Al also has a younger son named Devin (click here). Now, that I think about it, I'll have to do more research on Paige because he never mentioned the fact that he has a daughter.
