Ever since Rihanna knocked boots with LA Dodger’s player Matt Kemp, the public’s fascination with him has just skyrocketed. Only time will tell if this attention will be a blessing or a curse but for now he’s receiving some perks, such as posing for GQ magazine.

On his relationship with Rihanna:

“That’s a good friend of mine,” Kemp says cryptically but politely. “We hang out and have fun.”

On entertainers receiving more attention than athletes in LA:

“I don’t need a bunch of people or a security guard. Singers and actresses are going to get way more recognized than an athlete—unless you’re Kobe Bryant.”

Matt was also interviewed back in March, when the photoshoot took place and was overall very polite and kind about the 4 hour photoshoot:

On taking another similar opportunity:

“Why not?” he asked. “I had fun. They had the music going. It was a cool little crew. The cameraman was supposedly one of the best in the world.”

On his confidence in GQ magazine:

“I can pull anything off. That’s GQ magazine. They know what they’re doing. They make you look good. They can make anyone look good… They have computers, man,” Kemp said. [SOURCE]

Cool guy, he doesn’t seem as pigheaded as most athletes. Check out 3 more photos after…

The incredible and enigmatic Janelle Monáe is the muse for the latest issue of Honey Magazine. The visual and performance artist speaks about everything from her art to her style to love and everything else in between. Read below for a few of the highlights from the editorial.

On the inspiration behind her “Tightrope” video:

The song is about balance. I’m an artist and I think it’s important that we don’t think too high or too low about anything, whether it’s praise or critical advice… It takes place at the Palace of the Doges. I’ve heard great things about this place, Jimi Hendrix [and] Charlie Parker [performed] there. I got the opportunity to go there and really study the vibe. This was a time when dancing was forbidden, so I re-enacted a particular rebellious scene that happened. You will get more narratives of my experience at the Palace of Doges as we continue to finish the visuals. It’s an introduction to what it was like staying at this historical building.

On the sound of The ArchAndroid and whether her music has changed since she began:

I like to think of my music as very trans-formative. If you listen to the album from the beginning to the end, you will be transformed. It’s an album that’s deals with self-realization as well. You start to realize things about yourself you didn’t know. One big emotional picture for the mind.

I wouldn’t say my music has changed significantly. I’ve always been a music lover of great albums: Stevie Wonder’s Music of Mind, Innervisions, to David Bowie. It’s always been in me to pull from these inspirations and to come up with something unique and to pull from myself…

On her signature tuxedo wardrobe:

…I bathe in it, I swim in it, and I could be buried in it. A tux is such a standard uniform, it’s so classy and it’s a lifestyle I enjoy. The tux keeps me balanced. I look at myself as a canvas. I don’t want to cloud myself with too many colors or I’ll go crazy. It’s an experiment I’m doing. I think I want to be in the Guinness Book of World Records.

On how she feels about love:

…I think that love is very beautiful and it’s an energy that I love having. I do date and I do have someone that I love. Someone that understands me very well and encourages me to be the best person and artist I can be. I couldn’t ask for a better android.

On her plans for TheArchAndroid:

We are shooting a video for every song on the album, The ArchAndroid. We are creating a very strong narrative. We have a graphic novel coming out at the time of the release. This is a very special project. I’m very excited about the future and I have no idea what is in store.
