Plus, words from Michael Jai White, Lil' Kim and more.

Love & Hip Hop's D. Smith brushes off the transphobic hate from Scrappy and Waka Flocka Flame: - "Their opinions do not hurt my feelings. My problem is that there are little elementary school girls who have friends or peers that may hear [the criticism] and go over the edge, commit suicide or get beat up that day... I want [Scrappy and Waka Flocka Flame] to be a little more conscious with their words because they do have a platform."(Photos from left: VH1)
Lamar Odom speaks out on those rumors that he’s hitting the bottle again: - "I mean, it gets tough, especially if so much gets speculated... Only a few people know the truth, and I just keep that close to my heart.”(Photo: Jerry Perez, PacificCoastNews)

Angela Bassett got nominated for What's Love Got to Do With It. What has she done bigger than that since then? Cuba Gooding Jr., Oscar winner. What has he done since then?... Jennifer Hudson, what? Terrence Howard, what was the next movie that it launched him into? For the love of God, please do not nominate me for an Oscar!”(Photo: Moses Robinson/Getty Images for Ford Neighborhood Awards)

Brown/Getty Images for NAACP Image Awards)Rachel Dolezal is writing a book that may upset a lot of people: - "A lot of people have reached out to me... I've heard a lot of stories from people about their lives being caught in the boundaries of race. Because race is such a contentious issue, it's really important to think through a lot of those topics and questions people have. Why do we still want to go back to the world of separate races?”(Photo: 247PAPS.TV / Splash News)
