C’mon man what the hell is going on?!?! GQ sat down with Mr. Benjamin to chop it up about the latest goings-on in the life of the Atlanta Hip-Hop icon. GQ: You’re a spokesman for Gillette now. How did that partnership come together? Andre 3000: Gillette is getting into a space where guys are now, where guys are wearing more hair on their faces. If you watch the history of Gillette, they pretty much stayed on the path of the clean-shaven guy. This is the first time in their history, in like 110 years, that they’ve ever had guys in ads with hair on their faces. It’s a changing of the times and it says a lot about Gillette; they’re kind of moving with fashion. GQ: I dig it. And you’re resurrecting your clothing line, Benjamin Bixby? Andre 3000: Yes! But it will just be named Bixby this time. It’s going to be real exciting, I can’t say too much about it, but I can say this year and next year there’s going to be a lot of cool things coming from me fashion-wise. Bixby is one of them. Also musically, sound-wise, and fashion. You’ll see a lot of releases. Which leads us to what we all really want to know… GQ : So does that mean we can expect to hear the album we’ve all be waiting on? Andre 3000 : It depends on which album you’re talking about. GQ : A new ‘Kast album! Andre 3000 : There’s been a lot of talk on the Internet about an OutKast album and I have to say that as of now, there are no plans for another OutKast album. There’s a lot of music on the horizon. I’ve been living off the excitement of new artists. I’ve been privileged to have these new artists kind of reach out and grab back and say, “Hey, Andre, we want you on this song.” So I’ve been taking those calls and for the last two years, I’ve been doing collaborations. So these new artists have kind of been keeping me alive. I’ve just really been feeding off of that and this year I think I’m planning to do a solo project. I don’t know when it will come out, but hopefully it’ll come out this year. As far as OutKast, I really don’t know if or when that will happen. GQ : What’s the new solo album going to be like? Andre 3000 : The only thing I can really say is I’m going to get back to having fun because that’s what it was all about when I started this in high school—with OutKast—those were like high school dreams. I’m 36 now, so I have grown-man dreams. This album will just be me being myself as normal. In true 3000 fashion, Andre caps off the interview with something profound. GQ : Expectations for your next album couldn’t be higher. What are you most afraid of? Andre 3000 : The biggest fear is me thinking about it too much—and that’s why I’m just trying to catch the energy just like I’ve done before. What you all have heard before, I was not thinking, I was just going on cruise control. I was just going at it like any artist. When you look at the Wayne, when you look at the Kanye… I can tell when an artist is in the zone because they’re not thinking and that’s when you’re at your best. So I’m just hoping, at this point, I don’t let my history get in front of my future. You know what I mean? As much as we want a new Outkast album, we’ll definitely take an Andre solo album.

Actor Michael Clarke Duncan is 6′ 5″ and once tipped the scales at 315lbs and is now down to 280. Even at that height and weight, it’s hard to imagine that someone of his stature sustains himself without consuming any meat products. FACT OF THE DAY: Drake’s High School Ambition Was To Break Dance However, in an interview with TheUrbandaily last year the “Bones” actor revealed that he was a vegetarian, and that his girlfriend Omarosa was great at hooking up vegan meals for him. “This woman is fantastic and she can cook like a chef, ” he said. “And I’m a vegetarian so it’s hard to please my stomach, but she can go down there and whip it up.” So all that muscle is sustained by vegetables? Wow. But as the great RZA once said, “an Ox is strong as f*ck and all he eats is grass.” RELATED POSTS: FACT OF THE DAY: Jennifer Hudson Had A Record Deal Before “Idol” FACT OF THE DAY: Nas Was Born In Brooklyn FACT OF THE DAY: Common Was A Bookworm At FAMU

Another day, another attempt for members of the press to pretend Chris Brown and Rihanna are like the R&B Zach Morris and Kelly Kapowski and destined to be together. This time, it’s the site RumorFix, which claims sources tell them that Rih-Rih held up Grammy rehearsals on the Sony lot in Los Angeles because she wanted to spend time with her ex. They added that Brown’s current girlfriend, Karrueche Tran , was no where to be found on Monday and that Chris was seen exiting Rihanna’s dressing room with a male friend. However, Team Brown has already denied this rumor, recently saying via rep: “He and Rihanna are just friends. He [Chris] is with his girlfriend, Karrueche [Tran], and is not cheating.” That’s code for, “give it up, turn it loose.” Any day now.
