Montana Fishburne has certainly got her wish with the release of her X-rated sex-tape as her name has been in the news solidly since word broke. However, Montana herself has been quiet about the tape - until now. She spoke with Black Voices to reveal her thoughts behind the tape, her mother's support, how actor and father Laurence feels about the tape and more:
�@
Black Voices: To what do you attribute to all the hysteria?

Montana Fishburne: People are going to talk no matter what. I'm excited that people are talking about it. I hope everything turns to more positive. I mean, they should be more excited about new porn coming out. I haven't seen a young black female porn star in a long time.

BV: How much did you make off of this? Was it six figures?

MF: I don't know.

BV: Well, everyone wants to know what your father thinks about it?

MF: I mean, I haven't talked to him directly yet. We have conflicting schedules, so it's been hard. But, he's upset. I hope he supports me. But as soon as I talk to him, you guys are going to hear something.

BV: Why do you think he would be upset?

MF: I mean, no one wants to see their daughter have sex on TV. Fathers are usually upset when they hear about their daughters losing their virginity. So I don't think he wants to see it blasted across the world. This is something I wanted to do; it's a goal that I had. I think he'll be proud that I accomplished one of my goals. So if I'm happy, I'm sure that he'll be happy, too.

BV: How long have you wanted to do this?

MF: Since I was in high school. It's been a little secret of mine.

BV: Well, since you bought up virginity when did you lose yours?

MF: I lost my virginity when I was 16.

BV: How has Kim Kardashian really influenced you?

MF: She inspired me to go to Vivid. I always wanted to do porn. That was a given. So when I decided to start getting in to it, to see how I was going to go about it, I looked to her. Kim Kardashian released her sex tape with Vivid. Paris Hilton, Kendra Wilkinson, Pamela Anderson, all these people. And they're well known for having celebrity sex tapes. And Kim's is the one that did the best. Not did the best, but I felt like she got the most hype and buzz out of it. And she decided not to do porn. I want to do another film. And if I do decide to go mainstream, I feel releasing porn with Vivid is the best company to do it with, because they have other avenues that they deal with. I'm loving Vivid right now. They're the best.

BV: Now what's your association with Brian Pumper? He's saying that you have another movie coming out?

MF: I did a music video for him, but with my porn career, I'm focusing on Montana Fishburne with Vivid. That's what it is. The whole Brian Pumper thing, I look at it as a mistake honestly. And I'm trying to get away from that and focus on Vivid and the release of this movie.

BV: So were you known as Chippy D when you were with him?

MF: No, that was for a music video. I knew him and that was it.

BV: Do you think Brian Pumper will have a rap career now that he has a video out?

MF: No, I don't think his music appeals to the mainstream.

BV: When are we going to see you and him in action?

MF: Me and Brian are no longer in contact.

BV: Do you think he's exploiting you?

MF: Yes, I feel taken advantage by Brian Pumper. I don't really want to go into details about the situation. Jeremy [Greene, an aspiring porn actor], he feels for me, he knows how I feel about it. He has talked to Brian, and they have dealt with each other, because I don't even want to deal with him anymore. I'm not in contact with Brian Pumper, and I'm just trying to get rid of the situation.

BV: Who is Chippy D, what does that stand for?

MF: I've been Chippy D forever. That's just something that I had as I was growing up. I was chippy and really happy.

BV: Now, who's Jeremy Greene?

MF: Jeremy Greene, that's my boyfriend. I met him when I was in high school through a mutual friend. I went to New Roads in Santa Monica and he went to Fairfax.

BV: And he's a porn star also named J Pipes?

MF: Yes. There is footage of me and him, but it's not released yet. I don't know when it's going to come out, but people should look forward to seeing us together.

BV: Now, you were busted for hooking. Is that true?

MF: No, I have a trespassing conviction but not hooking. I have a trespassing charge from November, that's what it was for. Trespassing.

BV: What do you think of people's feedback saying that you're tarnishing your father's name?

MF: I mean, people are going to say what they're going to say. It hurts that people are thinking that I'm doing this to shame my father. That is not true. He's an actor. When he was playing Ike Turner, he was beating a woman, I didn't feel bad about it because he was acting. Porn is something that I wanted to do; acting is something that he wanted to do. So it's not to shame him; it's something on my own. I feel like they should want to encourage me and support me and be happy because it's not degrading to me. If it was leaked how all these other peoples are, I would feel ashamed about it. But I'm not. It's something that I'm proud of. I'm proud of my body, and I'm proud of my work and the performance that I gave. So all the people sending out negatives should find a different way to look at it and be happy for me.

BV: So where did you learn all those tricks in the DVD?

MF: From my boyfriend. We have a lot of fun together. I like to have fun and he likes to have fun and experiment. We have a healthy sex life, and it came in handy when it came to shooting this video.

BV: What did your mother think of the video?

MF: She's not happy, but she wants me to be happy. She's more concerned with if I'm ok. I love my mom so much. She's supportive. I'm happy that she's not dying over this. My mom is more conservative than my dad is.

BV: How have the offers been since the news broke that you were doing this tape?

MF: Pretty good. I got some offers for all kinds of things. But I'm not making any decisions on too much now. I really want this video to come out first.

BV: So when you're not having sex on camera what else do you like to do?

MF: Normal day-to-day stuff. I love the beach. I'm at the mall. I love to shop.

BV: What do you see for yourself in 10 years?

MF: In 10 years, I'll be 29 years old. I hope to have a business. I don't know what kind yet, but I'm into spas, hair and nail shops. My mother has fitness centers in Westchester. So I want to have my own businesses as well as continuing in entertainment.

BV: Are there more Vivid projects in the works?

MF: Yes, I've been talking to them about releasing a second movie. If and when I release my second movie for Vivid, I want it to be totally different. It's still going to be Montana Fishburne, but you'll see a new concept.

BV: What encouraging words would you give women that have to resort to prostitution and sex?

MF: I mean, I would never want to encourage anyone to resort to prostitution and drugs. But I feel if there's young women out there who are free-spirited like me and enjoy their body and are not ashamed -- and have dreams that people look down on -- don't be afraid of them. And just pursue your dreams even if people have their ideas about it. And be true to yourself.

Don't really know why we're paying this broad any attention - she needs to get a grip on reality - period.  We bet that Laurence wish that he'd spent more time wit' her cryin' out for attention self...

Wyclef caught some criticism form actor Sean Penn when he announced his decision to run for President of Haiti, now the former Fugee has responded, saying, "I just want Sean Penn to fully understand I am a Haitian, born in Haiti and I've been coming to my country ever since (I was) a child. He might just want to pick up the phone and meet, so he fully understands the man."   God knows his heart and if he's sincere, and if he isn't - well, let's just say he'll pay the piper.

Sources are reporting that Montana Fishburne's pornographic movie is not the lowest she has sunk as reports suggest that she was once working as a street prostitute. Los Angeles police picked up Montana while she was allegedly loitering in the back alleys of the city looking for 'clients'. She was chearged with prostitution under las 653.22 (a) which states, "It is unlawful for any person to loiter in any public place with the intent to commit prostitution. This intent is evidenced by acting in a manner and under circumstances which openly demonstrate the purpose of inducing, enticing, or soliciting prostitution, or procuring another to commit prostitution." Montana was eventually found guilty of just loitering, but friends of the actor's daughter are coming out to confirm the prostitution rumors. In addition to this Montana was arrested for assault and false imprisonment last March and is said to be facing 2 years if convicted. Not so much good girl gone bad, as bad girl staying bad...I guess she is succeeding by having us all talking about her - before, we didn't care who she was...

While the world and his wife seem to be co-signing Wyclef's run for the presidency of Haiti there are some dissenting voices who don't see it as a good thing. One is MC Out Loud of Blahzay Blahzay who is currently locked in a legal battle with Wyclef, claiming the former Fugee illegally sampled part of Blahzay's 1995 hit 'Danger' on his 2007 track 'Welcome to the East.' Out Loud said he's concerned about Wyclef's move into politics due to several allegedly shady dealings, saying, "We call him Wy-theft ... so many foul business moves." He added, "There's nothing wrong with the move if he can help, but when artists enter the political arena, it's not a good thing." Oh my God, danger! Actor Sean Penn is also against Wyclef's move, saying, "What the Haitian people need now is a leader who's genuinely willing to sacrifice. One reason I don't know very much about Wyclef Jean because I haven't seen or heard of him in these last six months that I've been in Haiti," Penn added, "I think he's an important voice. I hope he doesn't sacrifice that voice by taking the eye off the very devastating realities on the ground and the very difficult strategic future its got in putting itself back together." Penn, who said he was "suspicious" of Wyclef's run for President, went on to say that he felt there were possible corporate interests behind the rapper's move and said that alleged financial inconsistencies with Wyclef’s Yele Haiti deserved further investigation. Fellow former Fugee Pras also revealed that he will not be backing Wyclef - instead showing his support for the opposition candidate, "All Haitians around the world it's going to take all of us to start this reconstruction for Haiti! Michel Martelly for president 2010! It's official, the people are asking for it, I'm here in the belly of Haiti. I endorse Michel Martelly as the next president of Haiti!" Pras, while not openly attacking Wyclef, went on to show support for Sean Penn's views, "Sean Penn understands what's really going and understand what Haiti really needs." So the question is, despite the hype - is Wyclef right for Haiti?

An eyewitness has revealed how Nicki Minaj nixed appearances by Jamaican singer Barbee in Sean Kingston's 'Letting Go (Dutty Love)' music video. The source revealed, "I’m vacationing with some friends in Ocho Rios, Jamaica when I see the infamous Nicki Minaj. I was so excited when I realized that Sean Kingston’s new video 'Dutty Love' was being shot by my hotel. However, while scoping out the set, I realized that although Ms Nicki was featured in the song, she definitely wasn’t the one everyone was paying attention to. In all actuality the lead of the video, Barbee, was the star of the shoot. Nicki looked p*ssed and she was very standoffish to those around her. Now, I’ve never heard of Barbee until that weekend but apparently she’s a hotshot Reggae artist from the island. So I was really shocked when I saw the release of the video and she was cut out of all the scenes. I know Nicki is known as a Barbie, but was she that intimidated by Barbee."

Supermodel Naomi Campbell took to the stand to admit to receiving blood diamonds while at Nelson Mandela's residence. In her testimony during the trial of Charles Taylor, Naomi said she was given two or three stones after a celebrity dinner in South Africa, hosted by former South African President Nelson Mandela and attended by US actress Mia Farrow and others. She revealed that she was asleep in her room when there was a knock at the door, "Two men were there and gave me a pouch and said: ‘A gift for you’". She went on to say that the men did not introduce themselves and she put the pouch next to her bed without looking inside it, before going back to sleep. Naomi continued, "I opened the pouch the next morning when I woke up… I saw a few stones in there, they were very small dirty-looking stones." Naomi went on, "The next morning at breakfast I told Ms Farrow and [her former agent Carol White] what had happened and one of the two said ‘That’s obviously Charles Taylor’, and I said ‘I guess that was’." She said she had previously denied having the stones as she feared for her family because Mr Taylor was "someone I read on the internet has killed thousands of people, supposedly". Mr Taylor, 62, is suspected of selling diamonds to buy weapons for Sierra Leone’s RUF rebels, who were notorious for hacking off the hands and legs of civilians during the 1991-2001 civil war. Sometimes diamonds are not a girl's best friend...
