Through 26 years of rumors, speculations and tabloid scandals Oprah Winfrey and Stedman Graham’s non-traditional relationship has stood the test of time. Winfrey and Graham, CEO and founder of S. Graham & Associates, began dating in 1986 after ending her then relationship with Reginald Chevalier . In spite of the gossip and rumors of separation, Oprah and Stedman have continued to blossom in their love and support of one another. In 2010 during an interview with Jenny McCarthy, Oprah rebuffed these claims stating, “We’ve never broken up once. They’re always lies,” said Oprah, adding, “I do regret ever mentioning him” in the press. READ MORE ‘Black History In Love’: Make It Last Forever: Jay-Z And Beyonce In the past few years, Oprah has opened up about her personal life, demonstrating that long-term couples can find happiness living non-traditional lives, without marriage and children. Why She Loves Him: In her 2010 interview with Barbara Walters, Oprah stated of Stedman, “I don’t know of another man on this planet who could have lived this life with such dignity, such grace and such respect and humility in it and still hold his own and be his own.” Despite Oprah’s significant fame, Stedman has maintained his own identity and remained by her side through it all. During her appearance on the Piers Morgan Show , Oprah candidly discussed a family member selling her out to the tabloids for $20,000. In response to Stedman’s support at that traumatic time in her life, she said, “here is someone who is willing to stand in and stand up for you. And that is love.” Why He Loves Her: Though the two rarely make public appearances together, Stedman surprised the audience by walking out on stage and paying tribute to Oprah during Part 2 of the ‘Surprise Oprah! A Farewell Spectacular.’ “It really does amaze me that I get to be around a woman who changes peoples’ lives every day and who also takes her own lunch to work,” Stedman said. “I cannot, honey, believe that a colored girl from the backwoods of Mississippi has done all that you have done … But you know what really is amazing? You have done this, sweetheart, through all of the sacrifices you have made and the humility that you have and through God’s amazing grace. I love you for making a difference in my life.” READ: 5 Embarrassing Black Moments We Wished Never Happened Why They Work: Again during her Piers Morgan appearance, Oprah said it best “the reason why this relationship has worked as well as it has is that we each got to define ourselves in it and not in a traditional form.” In the early 2000s, Oprah and Stedman made a conscious effort to pull back on their public appearances together, stating that “every time we showed up in public… there’d be another exploitative story.” Maintaining their privacy and the integrity of their relationship has definitely been the keystone to their success as a couple. Why We Love Them: Oprah and Stedman have battled it out with the media for the past 26 years, choosing to live outside of society’s norms and embracing their own definition of happiness. Oprah once said about her relationship, “the truth of the matter is, had we gotten married we wouldn’t be together now, because in no way is this a traditional relationship.” Thus proving that happiness doesn’t have to be defined by a ring or a label.
Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. don cheerleader uniforms in clip, which revisits Madge’s classics like ‘Material Girl’ and ‘Like a Virgin.’ By Jocelyn Vena Madonna in her “Give Me All Your Luvin” music video Photo: Interscope “Fans can make you famous, a contract can make you rich, the press can make you a superstar, but only luv can make you a player.” And with that message, Madonna ‘s funky, fun and surreal (and almost cartoony) “Give Me All Your Luvin’ ” video kicks off. Full of appearances from Nicki Minaj and M.I.A., masked cheerleaders, beefy football players and old-school Madonna references a-plenty, the Megaforce-directed clip is fun and light-hearted, much like the bouncy pop anthem itself. The clip opens with Nicki and M.I.A. done up in cheerleader costumes chanting Madge’s name. It then cuts to Madonna, clad in a trench coat and sunglasses, kicking down the door of her suburban home, pushing along a baby stroller. From there, the video takes many unusual turns: football players tackling street signs, Madonna abandoning her baby carriage to hang out with her cheerleader crew, shots of her done up in black lingerie and a giant cross (the first of many looks that reference the many looks Madonna has worn over the years) dancing in front of a brick wall. Sparks falls from the sky as she runs around the streets near her house, her football players protecting her with some giant umbrellas — creating an eye-catching visual. As she makes her way through town (which does little to not look like a movie set), they continue to be by her side and the video begins to play tricks on the viewers’ eyes. They help her walk across a world turned sideways. It appears that they may have taken cues from her “Material Girl” video. Madonna looks like she’s having an incredibly fun time throughout the visual — smiling and shimmying her way through this fictional, hyper-fantasy world. Watching the clip, one may wonder what doesn’t happen in the video. Madonna gets shot at with old-school guns (perhaps an homage to her “Dick Tracy” days)! She climbs up a giant pile of football players! She plays with a baby doll! (Yes, that happens!) As the song approaches its breakdown, Madonna fans everywhere will certainly begin to stand out hard. Carried by her football players into a new setup (some kind of club-like setting), Madonna becomes the “Like a Virgin” version of herself. Dressed in white lace, a curly bob and lots of diamonds, she clearly is paying homage to that infamous era. Her two rapper pals are also dressed in similar looks as they spit their rhymes over the Martin Solveig-produced track. There’s also a few other Madonna refs in there: In addition to rolling around on her little stage (you know like she did at the VMAs back in 1984 , there’s also two girls kissing (she’s also done that at the VMAs) and a bunch of Smirnoff vodka bottles (she recently partnered up with the alcohol brand). From there, Madonna stage-dives into layers upon layers of football players’ hands and, at the end of it, gets caught by two of the players. The always-fierce Queen of Pop wraps up the video with a dance routine with all the characters along the way. When one of her masked cheerleader bats the head off one of her football players, she catches the helmet and proudly displays it, surrounded by sparklers. The video ends with Madonna tossing her baby doll to the side as one final message flashes across the screen: “Touchdown!” “Give Me” is the lead single off her March album release, MDNA .

‘We’re coming with something that people are going to want to tune in to see,’ Diddy tells MTV News. By Rob Markman Diddy Photo: MTV News Diddy alert! The music mogul isn’t making an official announcement concerning his upcoming music-themed cable channel , but when the time is right, you can bet that his patented Diddy swag will be in full swing. “I haven’t made that announcement yet. That’s something that kinda leaked to the press,” the Bad Boy CEO told Sway on Sunday in Miami while on a break from shooting French Montana’s “Shot Caller” remix video. Broadcasting & Cable originally broke the news January 23, citing unnamed sources. It was reported that Puff hooked up with former MTV programming chief Andy Schuon to develop Revolt, a network aimed at African-American audiences, set to launch in December. Diddy couldn’t confirm any of the information, however. “When I have everything officially solidified, I’ll be able to speak on it more. Only thing I can say is, we’re coming with a new energy, we’re coming with something that people are going to want to tune in to see,” he said. Diddy went on to cite the influence that Viacom networks MTV and BET have had on his career. “We want to give thanks to MTV and BET for paving the way,” he said. “Somebody had to bubble, somebody had to come up out of the grind of working with the greats over at MTV and BET, and I thank y’all for all the support. MTV gave me my first shot, made me a global star.” Related Artists Diddy

If you don’t read this site, you won’t know that a few photographers were supposed to link up with me in Vegas and none actually did…So I gave my press pass to a dude named Jose who looked pretty serious about his pictures…in exchange for the right to use his pictures….and this is what he sent me…. It coulda gone either way, he coulda told me to fuck off, he coulda just disappeared, but I’m glad to report…I made the right choice…Jose is a man of his word!
