‘I’m so happy!’: Pharrell Williams cries tears of joy during Oprah

He may have written the happiest song of the year, but Pharrell Williams was reduced to tears during his interview with Oprah Winfrey.

The Happy singer sat down with the talk show host for an upcoming episode of Oprah Prime on her OWN Network, and was moved by a video shown to him of people dancing to his chart-topping song.

‘I’m so happy!’ Pharrell, 41, cried before Winfrey showed some pictures of him as a child.


Happy tears: Pharrell Williams cries during Oprah Winfrey interview
Little Pharrell: Oprah had managed to get pictures of the singer as a child

Cute ‘do: They discussed the music that he had listened to as a child.

During the interview, Williams – wearing one of his many distinctive Vivienne Westwood hats – discussed his rise to fame, his song-writing process and the music that influenced him to become a seven-time Grammy winning recording artist and producer.

‘My best songs come from two different ways,’ he says. ‘Either when I have a really good gut feeling about something, it’s written in the shower or on a plane.’

 ‘Shower’s good, isn’t it?’ Oprah says. ‘There’s something about the water.’

‘The water attracts your ear,’ he says. ‘You get distracted, and your mind wanders.’


Tissue: Winfrey seemed to know the video would bring tears to Pharrell’s eyes

But for his Despicable Me 2 song, Pharrell called it a ‘crazy, half-court shot.’

‘It’s not because you’re that good,’ Williams says. ‘It’s because you’re out of ideas.’

The interview also saw Pharrell talk about his critically-acclaimed new album ‘G I R L’, and his wedding last year to model and designer Helen Lasichanh.

But over the weekend, he was in Indio, California to perform at Coachella 2014, where he reminded the audience of just how many hit songs he’s been behind.

Rapper Drake Grant’s Terminally Ill Girl’s Wish

Source: Instagram

If you haven’t already figured it our from his music, Drake has a really big heart and we’re super happy to see him share it in this way.

Last night, 15-year-old Kennedy Brown got the surprise of her life when Drizzy showed up on her doorstep unexpectedly. According to ABC News, Kennedy, who’s currently in hospice, was diagnosed with brain cancer two years ago, but this weekend she made a special trip back to her high school, Carnegie Vanguard in Houston,TX, where her classmates threw her a surprise prom, crowned her prom queen, and even gave her an honorary diploma in a private graduation ceremony. Part of the goal of the events was to grant Kennedy’s wish of getting a special message or visit from her favorite rapper, which is why classmate Payton Campbell gave out these instructions:

“We would ask all of your viewers to #DrakeForKen so we can get him to come see her or send something for her because that would mean the world to her.”

Thankfully, Drake saw the social media campaign and paid Kennedy a personal visit yesterday that you can tell was likely the highlight of both of their lives. Posting photos on his Instagram page, Drake captioned the pic below with “She asked to touch the brows #accessgranted”

Protector In Chief Protects First Lady From Wind Attack – Pic

President Obama flew to Texas to herald the “winds of change” that blew through the 1960s — but first, he had to protect First Lady Michelle Obama from a stiff breeze on the tarmac.

Arriving in Austin aboard Air Force One, the president and Mrs. Obama walked down the stairway as a gust threatened to give the first lady an awkward Marilyn Monroe moment.

The wind lifted the first lady’s pleated skirt “enough, above the knee, for the president to reach over and hold it down” to avert an incident, according to a pool reporter who was there.

The first couple laughed at the flap as they walked down the stairs.

Beyonce Goes Topless On Magazine Cover – PIC

Still classy,  super star Beyonce posed for these pics for the cover of Out Magazine.

For the Out cover, shot by Santiago & Mauricio, Beyoncé is styled by Lysa Cooper, rocking platinum blonde hair, vintage jewelry, and seemingly topless.

In the issue, Beyoncé addresses women’s empowerment, and says that her music opened up that conversation for a younger generation.

“There is unbelievable power in ownership, and women should own their sexuality,” she said. “Being that I am a woman in a male-dominated society, the feminist mentality rang true to me and became a way to personalize that struggle.”

Once Again It’s On – The Jay Z Medallion Controversy

The first time he was spotted with the medallion, they said he hated white people. The medallion it seems, represents the ‘Five-Percent Nation’ – a fraction of The Nation of Islam that believes that black men are superior beings, Gods, creators of the universe.

Well a year later, Jay was seen at a Nets game, sporting the same medallion and again, the controversy is in full effect.

This is how the New York Post began their reporting on Jay’s wardrobe.

Black people are the fathers and mothers of civilization, white men are the devil, the Christian god is nothing more than a ghost and only a small percentage of people understand the world.

These are just some of the ­beliefs behind the bling — the gaudy Five Percent Nation ­medallions worn by Jay Z and Carmelo Anthony.

And here I am, thinking he was a ranking member of the Illuminati.

James Franco Confirms Online Flirtation With 17-Year-Old: “I’m Embarrassed”

James Franco is addressing — and apologizing for — his online flirtation with a 17-year-old Scottish girl named Lucy.

The news actually broke yesterday, but it wasn’t until the 35-year-old actor talked about the incident on Live! With Kelly and Michael today, April 4, that we had confirmation that it was actually him.

“I’m embarrassed, and I guess I’m just a model of how social media is tricky, It’s a way people meet each other today, but what I’ve learned is you don’t know who’s on the other end,” he explained to hosts Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan. “I used bad judgement, and I learned my lesson.”

In case you missed it, James and Lucy met at the stage door of his Broadway play, Of Mice and Men. He posed for an Instagram video and instructed Lucy to tag him in it. She did, and that’s how he reached out, sending her many questions like “Do you have a [boyfriend]?” and “Where are you staying?” and “When is your [birthday]?” and “What’s your [number]?”

He then asked if he should get a room in her hotel — and sent her a couple of selfies as proof that it was actually him. And when she mentioned telling her friends of her brush with celebrity, he told her not to.

It’s important to note, however, that the age of consent is 17 in New York and 16 in Scotland. Still, even if it’s not illegal, James’ pursuit of a girl who is so many years younger will likely bruise his reputation.

And it’s important to note that this could all be a publicity stunt: James Franco’s new movie Palo Altosees his character seducing a teenager.

Jury’s still out on this one!

Nick Cannon Explains His “White People Party Music” Album

Nick Cannon was recently involved in a stunt that had many on the Internet calling him “racist.” The stunt – a picture showing Cannon wearing makeup to appear white – definitely caused some controversy,  but got Cannon the publicity he was after to promote the album.

In an exclusive interview, Cannon explained the decision and why he chose the name, White People Party Music for his album.

“I hoped people would give me a hard time [Laughs]. That’s the whole purpose. It’s just a fun album with a fun title that doesn’t take itself too seriously. At the same time it makes a statement. I always say white people love me, and they know how to have a good time.

Being a DJ, you name all your different crates and playlists. That’s the way I came up with the title. I have bar mitzvah music, trap music, ratchet music and one that says white people party music. And I said to myself, ‘You know, I’m going to name my album that.’ The album could have been titled Purple People Party Music. It’s just a bunch of feel-good songs that tap into the many different places that I’ve been in my life.”
