  • Keke Palmer Dishes on Love, Her Celebrity Crush, and Tattoos

    Keke Palmer believes “all you need is love.”

    Those words sound strangely familiar, but apparently, The Beatles aren’t the only ones who think that love truly is the only reason for living.

    The 21-year-old Just Keke host shared on love and other important topics in a recent interview with NewYork.com. The former Rodney King girlfriend says that she has wisened up a bit when it comes to the pros and cons of dating other celebrities.

    “The biggest con about dating a celebrity is that everybody wants to be in our business. Everybody would be trying to figure everything out,” said the Cinderella star. “That would be annoying as all hell. The pros are that I have somebody that is interested in the same things that I’m interested in, I have somebody that knows what I go through. I have somebody that can help think of ideas that can help inspire me. And not having somebody intimidated by my success, and hopefully they’re doing their thing too.”

    Palmer, who has been linked with actor Quincy Brown and rapper Meek Mill, said that although she has some qualms about dating other celebrities, that doesn’t preclude her from having celebrity crushes just like the next girl.

    “Michael Ealy is my celebrity crush,” gushed Palmer. “There are some others but I wouldn’t say them because they’ll be like ‘Oh my gosh’ so I’ll just keep it with Michael Ealy for now. And that’s because he’s too old for me to date. At 21, my philosophy on life is that love is everything and all you need is love. That’s very me. I try to be positive in everything that I do and I try to be loving to others and I truly believe that the energy you put out there is what you manifest around you.”

    Speaking of philosophy, Palmer says her “addiction” to tattoos began with a quote from another ancient philosopher, Aristotle.

    “When I was younger, I would always go to this website called thinkexist.com whenever I was feeling stressed or happy or felt like expressing myself. I would go get a quote that was surrounded by those specific ideas or subjects,” she recalled. “So one day I put in something like ‘strength’ and I came across the quote ‘We are what we repeatedly do, excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.’ And I loved it so much that I ended up getting it tattooed. I wasn’t scared at all when I got the first one. Actually, it was more so exciting. Now I have five.”

  • Karrueche Tran Dumps Chris Brown, He Responds on Instagram

    Karrueche Tran is so over Chris Brown.

    According to a report by TMZ, after the singer “liked” two fan photos of his superstar ex Rihanna on Instagram, the model reportedly lost it completely, broke up with Brown and even changed her phone number so he couldn’t contact her.

    The Rihanna post was merely the last straw in many grievances Tran has against her on-again-off-again boyfriend of four years. Apparently, she has been considering this for some time because “Chris acts immature, like a child.”

    The American model of Vietnamese and African descent reportedly thinks he’s ruining his life with all the partying.

    Brown seems to be doing some reflecting of his own. On Saturday morning, he posted a photo of himself with the caption:

    “I been through a lot in my life. Made a lot of mistakes along the way. But through it all I’ve always been true to myself and through God I’ve been able to take care of my family! I should regret some things but I think the lessons learned will shape me into a real man. I’m grateful and appreciative! Thank you for life!”

    And despite some self-reflection, the “immature” label attributed by Tran may not be so far off. Brown’s immediate reaction to the break up was to hightail it to St. Tropez with a very good friend of Karrueche’s.

    In a television interview recently on Keke Palmer’s show, Just Keke, Karrueche broke down when she talked about the awkward triangle that she believes exists among herself, Brown and Rihanna.

    “In this case my boyfriend is a celebrity whose ex-girlfriend is an even bigger [celebrity]…so, I’m not only am I fighting a battle with her, I’m fighting a battle with her 14 million fans or however else,” said the tearful model.

    “So, imagine how that feels for me when I gotta get on Twitter and I see a whole bunch of stuff…they make up all kinds of crazy stuff and it’s like they know nothing about me.

    “But, you know, because they know nothing about me, because I stay so mute sometimes, that leaves open space for them to say whatever they want.”

  • Karrueche Tran Talks Chris Brown, Rihanna

    Karrueche Tran Talks Chris Brown, Rihanna

    Karrueche Tran recently talked about dating Chris Brown and how his being Rihanna’s ex-boyfriend frequently worked itself into the mix. She appeared as a guest on Keke Palmer’s show Just Keke, and opened up about what all of this means to her.

    Palmer asked Tran what it was like to date a celebrity like Chris Brown she said that “keeping a level head and positivity” have definitely helped.

    “I’ve never dated a celebrity before so it was very new to me, paparazzi and all that,” Karrueche Tran explained, adding that the Rihanna component made things more difficult than they needed to be.

    “And then, even the situation with Rihanna, you know the reason why people turned into this so much was because it’s relatable. I have girlfriends, I have family who’s gone through the same situation. It’s the case of the ex. We all go through it, do you know what I’m saying?” she added.

    The conversation seemingly turned into more of a monologue as Karrueche continued.

    “In this case my boyfriend is a celebrity whose ex-girlfriend is an even bigger [celebrity]…so, I’m not only am I fighting a battle with her, I’m fighting a battle with her 14 million fans or however else,” she said. “So, imagine how that feels for me when I gotta get on Twitter and I see a whole bunch of stuff…they make up all kinds of crazy stuff and it’s like they know nothing about me. But, you know, because they know nothing about me, because I stay so mute sometimes, that leaves open space for them to say whatever they want.”

    Karrueche Tran has been known for saying little to nothing about her relationship with Chris Brown–ever. In fact, even when it was widely known that Chris was seeing Rihanna and keeping Tran on the side she kept her lips sealed.

    Keke Palmer asked Karrueche what the most difficult part of such a love triangle was.

    “Um, jeez. I guess I would say the heartbreak because it was a real situation,” she answered.

    Karrueche Tran recently posted a rather cryptic quote on Instagram that some speculate is aimed at Chris Brown. The two were recently rumored to have suffered yet another split following the BET Awards after which Breezy got ridiculously drunk. This post kind of makes it seem like there was truth to those rumors.

    Lots of people have considered Karrueche Tran to be nothing but a celebrity cling-on–the kind of girl who clings to a celebrity in hopes of becoming one herself–ever since first hooking up with Chris Brown. Maybe that’s true and maybe it’s not. But if you look at Chris Brown’s past, who has been the one at his side all those times when push came to shove? Was it Rihanna?

    No. It was Karrueche Tran.
