May/June 2011Issue!!!

This past winter felt like the coldest one ever. But as brisk as it was, last season was wonderful to Juicy and this spring promises to be even better, starting with this issue. There’s nothing sweeter than seeing our favorite celebs out and about with their fams (STACEY DASH with her brood, KOBE BRYANT with his little girl and DIDDY with his twin), except maybe the fineness that is LAZ ALONZO. He’s our Juiciest man this month. I cannot wait to see this Cuban blend of chocolate in Jumping the Broom in May. I’m so jealous that he gave PAULA PATTON a 10 on the kissing scale (not surprised though, I mean she is my namesake, ha!).

Speaking of giving, TAMI ROMAN and JIM JONES don’t think exes should expect to get anything post breakup. Check out their answers in the debut of our He Said/She Said column. NENE LEAKES filled out The Notebook. She’s more of a sugar baby, than a panther. BARRY FLOYD you know him as ‘Tee Tee’ from The Game, phoned us; as did NAOMI CAMPBELL’s weave master and EVA MARCILLE’s face beater. CHRISETTE MICHELE shares her beauty regimen. NICKI MINAJ’s wig stylist gave up the deets as did some of her former high school classmates from “The Fame” school.

Despite the rumors, all is well in JAY-Z and BEYONCE’s world. I’m rooting for them. Forget what the haters say. TARAJI P. HENSON is our very first Glamazon. MARSHA AMBROSIUS is nothing short of inspirational and not just for dropping a whopping 60 pounds, but for that moving “Far Away” single and video. And it’s so befitting since we’re celebrating the 20th anniversary of the late great E. LYNN HARRIS’ Invisible Life.

Tolerance. Love is love. Lest we forget ya’ll. Keep it Juicy.

Peace, love and beauty,
