SWAGGER & HOOPLA
New York and Miss Jones went head to head recently on Hot 97's airwaves and here's what New York had to say about the drama:
"First of all, Miss Jones doesn't appeal to me in any type of way," she fired off on VH1's Celebreality Blog yesterday. "I don't have any respect for her. She's very angry. She's very nasty. She was asking me very personal questions about myself and I wasn't going to answer her honestly, because I felt like she wasn't really interested in my life. She was trying to attack me. So, of course, I just played with her. And her being a radio personality, she knew I wasn't being honest. I didn't care, I knew I had to get through that interview and remain professional. But I will say this: I think she's a fat, bitter bitch. I wasn't going to let anyone ruin my morning. You can only push my buttons if I allow you to, and I didn't allow her to push my buttons. She would have loved to have gotten into it with me. Who wouldn't want to get into it with me? That could have boosted her career that never went anywhere. She was an aspiring singer that never did anything. Miss Jones sucks. She gained about 80 lbs. She looks terrible."
How the drama started up:
Well their two paths recently collided during an explosive telephone interview where Jones lambasted New York for lying about going to the tony Syracuse University. "Y'all bitches gonna learn," Jones, an alum, chided after abruptly hanging up the phone on her. "Y'all gonna stop calling up in here testing me." (Listen to the interview here).

Alicia Keys on size zero obsession: "I think that's total trash. I think that a woman is so much her curves and her many styles. We come in all packages and we are who we are, and I definitely don't like it when young girls feel like they have to totally starve themselves. I think it's not attractive either, actually. Definitely not healthy." [source]
