Mary J Blige has a cover feature on the May edition of "Upscale" magazine. As the accompanying headline stated, Mary opened up about motherhood.

[The children's mother and I] spoke briefly, once...but no, we haven't crossed paths. All I know is what I see through the children, and based on what I see, I know she has to be an amazing person because those kids are so smart and so beautiful...I thank her for allowing me to be around them."

Raven-Symoné can been on the April 28th edition of "Jet" magazine. Raven addressed why she wouldn't change up her persona for fame:

‘”I have to stay true to who I am’, says Disney star Raven-Symoné, 22, regarding her new self-titled CD, which is slated for release April 29. ‘I am not going to sing about sex, drugs and violence, that’s just not who I am’, she continues. As she prepares for the CD’s release and a 55-city Pajama Party concert tour, the confident and talented entertainer hopes this project will fill a void in today’s music. We need some music that will open people’s minds up and give them other things to think about other than the same things we have been giving them for a while. Maybe my album can do that.’ [QUOTE: EBONYJET.COM VIA CONCRETE LOOP]

The Disney mini-mogul recently cancelled her tour but in the meanwhile check out her myspace page for new music from her upcoming self-titled album.
