 Monday, October 21st at 9pm on VH1 Keke will be starring in the bio pic “CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story” as Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas. This week, she’s stuntin’ on the cover of Rolling Out, while putting her little girl image to bed with a sexy photo spread. Inside, she dishes on growing up in the spotlight, balancing her personal life with her career and her road to success.
Catch a few highlights and the full spread, shot by photographer DeWayne Rogers, below:
KeKe on growing up
“When people think of me initially, they remember me as ‘Akeelah [and the Bee].’ Sometimes it can be frustrating to be remembered at an age that you’ve outgrown. But at the same time, it’s never frustrated me to the point that I’ve wanted to lash out. I just take it one step at a time. I’ve been patient in letting people adapt to me and my growth.
On proving that she’s an adult
If anything, it makes you look even more like a kid! As an adult, you don’t have to go around saying, ‘Hey, I’m an adult!’ That would be like saying, ‘Guess what — I’m black!’ You know it already. I just [try to] constantly be a professional by asking for what I need in the right way. I feel like you have to tell people who you are, but you don’t have to be disrespectful about it. But you also don’t have to be a shrinking violet. For a long time, when I was younger, I would always act like a little kid and I would just [bow] down because I would never want to feel like I’m being disrespectful to someone. But at the same time, I was like, ‘I’m 18-years-old and I’m not a kid anymore.’ I don’t have to wait for people to do things for me. I started saying, ‘No, that’s not OK. This is what I want. This is what I need from you. Please and thank you.’ At the end of the day, you’re going to have to speak up for yourself — and I learned that after always being, for lack of a better word, crapped on.
[But] I don’t think that’s a lesson that comes from the industry, I think that’s a lesson that comes from life. I think no matter what you do as a young kid — you can [even] take it from your family. You may go off to college, you’re becoming independent and you go back home and your parents treat you like a kid again. To a certain extent, everybody has their place in their family, but you have to say, ‘Mom and Dad, I actually have things to do.’ And I think that’s a lesson that happens to everyone and everyone has to learn that place in their life.”
On balancing her personal and professional life
Sometimes my personal life takes a backseat. My job never takes a backseat. Sometimes I feel like my life is in shambles and I’ll still be doing my job. It’s unintentional.
On following her dreams
“I didn’t come from a lot. I had a lot of love and support from my family, but as far as money and that type of thing, I didn’t really have any of that.  All I did was follow my dreams. If my fans take anything from me, I hope it would be that. It’s not just me being so special — they are too. They just haven’t realized it yet.”

My Find of the Week!!!


I am a girly girl and if this blog interests you, you probably are too. I love getting my hair and nails done but I really don't like going to the salon. After seeing my sister and a friend doing cool new manicure styles at home, I decided to start doing my own at home manicures. So to save trips to the salon and money,  I recently started my nail polish collection. At first I would just go to any beauty supply or dollar store and pick up the first color that caught my eye. Then I learned ALL NAIL POLISHES ARE NOT CREATED EQUALLY!  I learned fast that those cheap brands were just that CHEAP! At first I thought it was me until my sister accidentally left a bottle of her  nail polish at my house and when I used it for the first time I fell in love. Unlike professionals, I don't have a steady hand to do the perfect manicure so that's when I learned the brush is extremely important.  Brands like Doir,  OPI and Essie are great but I feel if I am going to spend that much on nail polish I might as well go and get a professional manicure. Adding a few of those brands to your collection is fine but if you are looking for a less expensive alternative with great results try Wet ‘n Wild’s  megalast nail polishes in their new bottles. They have wide brushes which makes it almost fool proof.  2 coats of polish on each nail is all you need for a at home professional look for $1.99 a bottle. Nice!  (btw I am in no way paid for this endorsement. This product is something I tried on my own, fell in love with and now am telling you about.)
