Frank Frazetta - Little Annie Fanny Unfinished Painting Original Art (Playboy, undated).

Source

“This spectacular watercolor of Little Annie Fanny was painted by Frank Frazetta in the mid-1960s as a try-out for Harvey Kurtzman. Kurtzman was a longtime friend of Frazetta, and he knew that Frazetta could draw and paint sexy women like no one else. He desperately wanted Frazetta's help for his "Little Annie Fanny" feature that appeared in Playboy magazine. Kurtzman approached Hugh Hefner with the idea of hiring Frazetta. Hefner told Kurtzman: "Get him to do a little coloring of Annie and show it to me. I want to make sure he can draw women." The rest is history. Frazetta painted the study in a lush and detailed style, adding a lot of beautifully blended colors, wonderful sexy energy, and a perfect "on model" rendition of Annie. The story goes that Hefner was so impressed with the original art that he added it to his own collection. Years later, Kurtzman got it from him as part of a contractual settlement and kept it until his death. At that point Denis Kitchen obtained it from the Kurtzman estate and sold it to Alex Acevedo of the Alexander Gallery. Subsequently, Dave Winiewicz showed the original art to Frazetta and verified the above story. Frazetta was quite amused that Hef needed proof that Frazetta could draw women! “

1983 George Killian's Irish Red Ad

It's our beer and we came up with the idea and the brew and it's really a nice brew it tastes great and it's a little bit red. Has an additive in it no it's a particular brew process with a particular hop and from a certain area and you really should only make them there and we know where it is and other people have to find out. It is an Irish brew and we do it in Ireland and it does come out red. And it is not South Carolina no it's in the middle area it's a specific spot and people loved it and they would love it again. We're going to reintroduce it but I want to mention that this is an Irish Brew but Americans are considered to be friends because they pretended they were Irish a lot and got a ton of people to do it and we managed to escape. There's a lot of stories that we can tell that we should not. Make fun of beer ads and have them in it and us too and it's gonna be great we're happy to be on board on it it says that's good 'cause you want samples in three days. And I'm sure we're going to get orders before then. And we probably will. Mac daddy and Ben are not in those big beer companies as much as people think and they are getting booze and things like that but it's not their companies they have like 5% share of each but you know just each person. They have other beer companies that they want to start or restart and what we say is it's a different group it's a different area and they don't have a say so and you can do what you want. And he says I'm gonna pick Sam Adams and what we say is it's kind of your area and that's what he's saying there might be other factories but yeah we think that's correct and proper and then Arnold he has approved it's Hefner and he came up with it and it's it's Hefner and he came up with it and it's wonderful and there are a lot of people saying stupid things it's Heffin Refer so we wanna get him on board and get these going there'll be a board and there'll be more lock on it too and you guys can captain your own beers. You do have people interested in other beers and they don't want to announce it no they do. DJ A and Jenna are up for captaining or chairing Duff beer. There's others for Elsinore beer and other people will be on the board but they want it pretty bad it's Dave and Doug mckenzie you don't really recognize them no you kind of do he's the guy who stars in space balls as Darth Vader and it is BG the other guy might be trump yeah that's who he is no it's Brad and he's dragging his heels and everything and he won't be anybody or have anything and our son and daughter will have to tell him to take off and yeah take off to the Great White N and tell him later it's a beauty way to go. And our son was saying that because he said you go up there and just freeze to death and he's thinking fun of it and stuff so they start copying him and they started this huge thing with a beer yeah so there's putting in their ads and .... so there's putting in their ads and stuff and on SNL that you can freeze to death and things and people didn't like it but they started drinking the beer so we are going to go ahead and start selling it and we're going to start making it. the sun was to do the Duff man thing so I'm gonna print

Guy J. Hefner, 91, of Hamilton, OH went to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on August 18, 2023 surrounded by his loving family. He was born on September 25, 1931, in Charleston, West Virginia to Ellodean H. and Guy H. Hefner. He was married to Colleen J. Tandy on December 28, 1954 in Miami, Florida.

Guy is survived by his two children, Carolyn Jan McAllister (Dale) of Hamilton, OH and Bradley Jay Hefner of Mason, OH; two granddaughters, Marilyn Joyce Cameron (Brooke) of Nashville, TN and Nancy Jan McAllister McLain (Matt) of Susanville, CA; and two great-grandsons, Griffin Allister Cameron and Lochlan Gunner Cameron of Nashville, TN.

Guy was preceded in death by Colleen, his loving wife of 66 years, his brother Dave L. Hefner, and his parents Ellodean H. (Drake) Hefner and Guy J. Hefner.

Guy was a very positive, loving man, dedicated to God and his family. He was an active member of 1st Baptist Church of Hamilton for 58 years, serving as Sunday School teacher, on the board of Trustees and as Moderator for many years. He excelled in football, playing for Graham High School in Bluefield, VA and later at Concord College. Due to an injury, he transferred to Bob Jones University where he met his future wife, Colleen Tandy. Guy graduated in 1955 with a B.S. degree in Art and History, and was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps upon graduation. He served as a Marine for 15 years, both active and reserve, and was discharged as a Captain.

In 1957 in Atlanta, GA, Guy began his 35-year career with The Prudential Insurance Company as a District Agent. A promotion to Sales Manager in 1961 relocated him to Birmingham, AL. Then in September of 1965, Guy was named the new District Manager of the Hamilton, OH District Office, serving 27 years until his retirement in 1992.

In 1993 Guy pursued his dream and thru hiked the 2,155 mile long Appalachian Trail. Then again in 2003, he completed the A.T. as a section hiker.

Guy enjoyed many special trips with his family, and was such a wonderful husband, father, and grandfather, supporting his children and granddaughters in their many activities. Popa was so very proud of his granddaughters, Marilyn and Nancy, and great-grandsons, Griffin and Lochlan. Guy and Colleen spent 66 wonderful years together and are now once again united. Even though he will be greatly missed, we all look forward to seeing Guy, Daddy, and Popa in Heaven some day!

As I was pretending to “grow up”, I was not guided through puberty by the Bible ( and the human philosophical wreckage who were pretending to represent it), Bob Guccione, Larry Flynt, Hugh Hefner, Xaviera Hollander, and the mundane mutterings of other children. My mother was mentally incapable of coherently dealing with the fact that her twelve year old had become a six foot tall skinny man with muscles, wet dreams, and primary sexual characteristics. I didn’t accomplish masturbation until I was fifteen. I was an awkward teen and I had no girlfriend. I was accused of being a faggot because I was fascinated by firearms and shoes, guitars and art, the history of fashion and science fiction... and I sucked at sports. Didn’t care about them. I was not taught anything about being a human by my fat alcoholic stepfather.

There is no charitable way to put this: while I was being put upon by the sanctimonious wannabe straights, I was also besieged by pedophiles and perverts who found something useful in my full lips, beardless peach fuzz, awkward gait and general cluelessness. I was physically molested by a church elder and an older cousin. I was mentally molested by a mother and her husband who were...

I walked out of that house one October night when I was 16. I was a virgin until I was 22. It wasn’t for lack of trying, but as with many things in life and my mind, I had to learn the hard way what worked and what didn’t. I stand on the edge of this life forty years later and have no idea what I would say to my younger self. I’ve never liked racists, brown, black or white. I feel like they’ve bricked up a part of their brain and left it to die. I can’t stand sanctimonious adolts who assume I am a redneck because I’m one generation away from the farm on one side and two away on the other. I’m a cartoonist and a guitar-player, not a redneck.

One of my first real friends, who happened to be female, but ambiguously so (she spent her adolescence as chubby, wearing glasses, and speaking with the voice of a boy and the hand gestures of her grandma), was also of mixed race. Her mother was Polish and her father wasn’t. She was called all kinds of things, from the n word to whatever the combined communities of adult and adolescent bigots could come up with. She was threatened with rape, mutilation by gym class social monsters, death by people in pointy hats... And survived mainly through attitude and family connections. Neither of her parents were shrinking violets. They were intelligent, resourceful, and prominent. She had cousins who were capable of anonymous discouragement. My other friend was the son of a police sergeant. He was strange-looking, strange-talking, and generally considered a prime candidate for faggothood because he associated with me. His father had been a shotgun-wielding chain gang guard in his late teens in Mississippi.

The church was ever-present. My father had grown up and been Timothied out of the church I spent most of my young life in. Actually, there were two congregations, Pepsi and Mt. Dew, that I was associated with... it’s complicated. I was raised as a non-denominational “churches of christ, millenial harbingers, instrumental” protestant. They believed in football, God, and indoor carpeting. My friends were Catholic. My father went to a bible college and practiced as a pastor for many years before becoming a laborer in a railroad maintenance facility, stamping out doors for vending machines, pouring steel at a stove foundry, and finally, working for the state and county in sex offender counseling and mental health assessment for twenty odd years. He walked out of my life when I was nine and bumped into me about twice a year thereafter.

I had no mentors,and effectively no parents. I learned about politics, history, art, and literature from National Geographic, Playboy, Penthouse, MAD, Reader’s Digest, and National Lampoon. I dropped out of junior college, the army, and a university.

I live with a mixed race lesbian who dresses like an out of work referee. She’s never met her father. She has issues from being serially sexually assaulted as a young teen by her mother’s husband and other soldiers. She has been diagnosed with PTSD.

So, as Jenny put it in “The World According to Garp”, I am still a “sexual suspect”. I really don’t know what it’s like in anybody else’s mind or life, but on this side of the autistic glass, where I can almost hear and almost see what is happening in RL, I think ya’ll are not having much fun and need to realize that while my bubble is probably off center, your level was run over years ago and lies smashed and leaking...

Adam Wingard & Simon Barrett: Through The Looking Glass

As we entered a new decade in cinema in 2010, the landscape of horror films began to evolve. We saw films totally embracing and interacting with the world around them – usually in the form of advancements in technology and also cultural paradigm shifts. Films like Unfriended or Nerve pushed forward these concepts, and it seems to be encouraged in order to keep the genre from collapsing in on itself. Some filmmakers, however, seem to be quietly pushing forward some of these concepts while straddling the line between classic horror stylistics and ones of the future.  Two of the great talents managing this tricky balancing act are director Adam Wingard and screenwriter Simon Barrett, creators of You’re Next, The Guest, and Blair Witch. With these three films, Wingard and Barrett have managed to put on display not only their love of classic genre aesthetics but also present ideologies in sync with this new wave of modernique horror. This has allowed for a great influx of fans perhaps still not fully ready to let go of the horrors of years past, but willing to peer into what might be in store for the future.

In You’re Next, we are presented from the beginning with a ton of classic horror staples dating back decades. There are a man and a young college girl he left his wife for that get killed in the opening segment, akin to tons of slashers that follow these formulae. The establishing sequences are decidedly old wave, and may even lend to a perception of blandness. A wealthy family has a get together in an old house, up in the country and far from just about anyone else. Pleasantries are quickly dispensed, and at the dinner table judgments, harsh criticisms and condescension run rampant. Frequent mumblecore collaborators and friends populate the cast – Ti West, Joe Swanberg, Amy Seimetz and others are among the indie stars present. After being scoffed at for not making commercials for money with his filmmaking talents, Ti West’s character Tariq is Wingard and Barret’s first victim –  a killer with an animal mask appears and launches a crossbow bolt right through his head. It’s obvious that an audience with knowledge of West’s filmography might find this telling. Arguably his most popular directorial feature to date is The House of the Devil  - a pure late 70s to early 80s satanic panic film drenched in nostalgia via its tone, form, and content. Wingard is going to continue to get a kick out of slashing down styles and aesthetics throughout the film.

A major form of solidarity with this new wave is also present through the portrayal of You’re Next’s protagonist, Sharni Vinson’s character Erin. Presented as merely a girlfriend to one of the family members, Erin is an inverse to the “final girl” trope present in countless horror films. From the very first killing, Erin is shown to be a leader and a fighter, not just a hapless victim who happens to manage to quell off an attacker. Instead, she is shown devising escape plans, orchestrating defensive traps and when need be improvising with whatever is around to kill the mysterious masked murderers. By the midpoint to last third of the film, the masked hunters are directly shown to be fearful of Erin, in a way completely flipping the concept of the horror on its head. Not just a simple attempt at empowerment, Erin achieves equality with most male hero archetypes.   In many ways, You’re Next is as rewarding of a takedown of generic tropes for the modernique era as Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson’s Scream franchise was for the jaded, cool detachment of the 1990s.

In their next film, The Guest, Wingard and Barrett come up with an even more interesting hybrid of action, horror and family drama that culminates in a peak of retromania. Military grade weapons, technological hacking, female gaze and queer subtext are all game. Similar to You’re Next, The Guest’s premise is rooted in stories as old as Tartuffe, and Pier Paolo Pasolini’s 1968 arthouse classic Teorema. Barret’s scripts take these old ideas and use them to peer forward, adding in the tech and modernique values and ideas of his contemporaries. The titular guest is David Collins, played by the uber attractive Dan Stevens. He arrives at the family home of the Petersons and tells Mrs. Peterson (played by Sheila Kelley with beautiful naiveté) that he was a friend of their son Caleb, who was killed overseas in Afghanistan. Once the preliminary introductions are established, David begins to unravel every member of the family in one way or another, as well as their relation to the militarization and violence that comes along with the post-9/11 US war machine. Just as many great genre films from the 1970s tackled the Vietnam war in ways mainstream productions could not, The Guest approaches PTSD and other, more civilian issues concerned with the “war on terror” in an interesting and different light than films like The Hurt Locker.

Caleb’s little brother Luke (Brendan Meyer) has lost in his sibling someone to look up to. David becomes like a surrogate brother to him, helping him to shake off incessant bullying and violence in school. After David tells him to fight back and never back down from these situations, Luke beats down a fellow classmate who is taunting him and calling him a “faggot”. While the school wants to expel Luke, David intervenes, telling the principal it’s a hate crime to say these kinds of things to a gay student, and that the family will sue the school unless they reach a far less severe punishment. The sequence might be simple, and the film never actually tells you if David is completely inventing Luke’s gayness or genuinely using it against the school, but it is powerful. Barrett adding this level of queer subtext to The Guest is sincere and respectable – a far cry from 80s films like Sleepaway Camp, Dressed to Kill or A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge which all encompass various levels of queer identity in a much crasser and demeaning way.

Similarly, Wingard frames David in a very sexual and appealing manner, frankly reaching levels of female or queer gaze, similar to Pasolini’s framing of Terence Stamp in Teorema. Even naming him David recalls Michelangelo’s famous sculpture of a biblical icon, nude and in pure reverence. Caleb’s sister Anna (the ever-impressive Maika Monroe) has reservations about David at first, but increasingly grows attracted to him, which is hardly something you can blame her for. After running into him stepping out of the shower, she practically passes out up against the wall. Her friend Kristen (Tabatha Shaun) is instantly into him when he arrives at her Halloween party as Anna’s accompaniment. David ends up smashing her ex-boyfriend into a wall, scaring him off, and ends up having sex with Kristen upstairs at the party afterward. Again, like You’re Next, Wingard and Barrett subvert certain tropes and ideas. In most movies, David would be the hero, but here his demeanor, appeal and tendency towards violence are in a way a warning about the dangers of masculinity at face value.

Anna is always on her phone, wearing giant headphones, playing around with CDs and laptops – certainly a modernique heroine. Her gesture of attraction towards David is burning him a CD of the dreamy, gothic 80s music she favors, but ends up being a reminder of his sinister nature by the time she gives it to him. It is Anna who begins to call up people for information on David’s actual identity and asks her brother to find a way to trace the numbers he has been calling on his phone. The film ends up revealing that he was a test subject to become a sort of super soldier similar to the ones present in the Universal Soldier franchise (brilliantly used for their own commentaries on modern warfare in Scott Adkins’ entries in the series). Militarized police units show up at the Peterson’s household and end up annihilating the place, riddling it with bullets and explosives in an attempt to kill David. He escapes and ends up at Luke’s school, where the Halloween dance is being prepared for, replete with a maze and halls of mirrors, allowing Wingard to enjoy some Wellesian Lady from Shanghai fun with the reflections. These mirrors ostensibly function to show, in an 80s-esque Halloween dance the modern reality of this failed super soldier attempting to cope with his survival and existence. A government sponsored Frankenstein monster, mirrored back at us in the annals of a school gym with props from Halloween III: Season of the Witch on the walls. Truly no other filmmakers are riding this thin of a line between the past and the present through the looking glass.

Wingard and Barrett’s newest feature, Blair Witch is perhaps the most bluntly modernique of their film collaborations. Taking place in 2014, 20 years after the events of the original 1999 film, The Blair Witch Project, we have a new group of kids curious about the supernatural mythos and horror surrounding the woods where Heather Donahue and her group from the original film vanished without a trace in 1994, including Heather’s brother James (James Allen McCune). Considering the original film is widely seen as one of the first films in history to be primarily marketed via the internet, Wingard and Barrett are seen here stepping into a franchise already reaching peak levels of 1999 modernique, in a completely different way than the technological advancements of Lilly and Lana Wachowski’s film The Matrix, released to raving fanfare the same year.

In 2016, to continue this trend of looking back to look forward, Blair Witch equips our characters with loads of tech far more advanced than that of the original crew, but back into that same locale, of centuries-old lore and horrific mythos. All of the characters have tiny earpiece cameras; there are walkie-talkies and even a drone (which is taken up for some ill-fated flights above the woods canopy, in search of a way out). Wingard uses this tech as a way to transform the ordeal into a spooky multi-stream – oftentimes flicking from participants in the way Major League Gaming live streams switch from player to player based on the action. There are still numerous handheld cameras used – some by the team’s local “guides” who take them into the woods on arrival and another by Lisa (Callie Hernandez) as an essential part of a penultimate scene. One of the best scenes, in fact, involves Ashley (Corbin Reid) climbing high up into the trees to attempt to unhinge the drone trapped in the foliage. This futile attempt is of course quashed by the mysterious forces running amok when she is stunningly blown out of the tree, crashing down to the forest floor.

Earning a D+ Cinemascore and critical disdain across the board, Blair Witch is seen as a failure to live up to the monumental expectations set upon it. Barrett knew the inevitability of this from the beginning of the project, opting to get the studios to promote the film as The Woods, not as Blair Witch.  When it finally was revealed, there were equal amounts of positive anticipation, and mocking scorn as yet another shameless reboot or addition to an older film. This jaded view of Blair Witch serves no purpose; it only obfuscates the lineage of modernique techniques Wingard and Barrett have successfully integrated into their films up to this point. In fact, Blair Witch is certainly the greatest “horror” film they have collaborated on. Mostly short on subtext, the film takes advantage of the tech present to figure out the best way to incorporate scares with it. Wingard’s next project is purported to be a live-action adaptation of the popular anime Death Note. Given the character L’s propensity to monitor everyone on cameras, it seems like a logical continuation of his set of films with Barrett. Hopefully, they will collaborate again soon and give us more subversive works refracted through the looking glass of our modern times.

“keep it moving” | lil’ kim by mtv news, 2003.

"I'm locked in a five-year contract with [Kim]," said Cease, who's signed as a solo artist to Queen Bee Records. Other than albums that Kim herself has recorded, Cease's poor-selling but critically acclaimed 1999 solo debut, The Wonderful World of Cease A Leo, is the only release to come from the Queen Bee Records imprint since it was founded in 1998.

-- by Shaheem Reid, with additional reporting by Sway Calloway, Jeff Cornell and Quddus Phillipe Kimberly Jones is dying to go Hollywood, but some people are hissing that she already has. She definitely isn't the same 'round-the-way girl the Notorious B.I.G. introduced us to in 1995. Little Ms. Jones has estranged herself from old ideals and friends from her 'hood that she once considered family. She's got a fresh attitude to go with her new set of Hollywood and high-society buddies and associates, people such as Hugh Hefner, Pamela Anderson, Carmen Electra, Don King, Donatella Versace and Victoria Gotti.

Kimberly doesn't even look the same — she switches hairstyles almost as often as she changes rhyme flows. Plus she's got a new surgically altered nose to go with her voluptuous, augmented breasts. "When I decided to finally do that is when I realized I was a sex symbol," she has said about her implants. "It's something that I felt would make me have more fun with my photo shoots and enhance my look a little bit." But going Hollywood for Kim really means just that: She wants to make movies. Her dreams have nothing to do with forgetting where she came from, or — as they might say in her native Bedford Stuyvesant neighborhood — "acting brand new." Kim maintains she's the same Brooklyn girl at heart: feisty, focused and determined not to fail. Like Will Smith and, more recently, Queen Latifah, rap's Queen Bee wants to make it big in Tinsletown. Yeah, she's appeared in such flicks as "Juwanna Mann" (2002) and "Zoolander" (2001), but Kim knows she's capable of bigger roles and more explosive performances. "Being involved in different entities of the game is so much fun 'cause you don't just get stuck in one genre," she explained. "I like to be here and there. My personality and my character are versatile." But unlike the aforementioned rap legends, she still wants to keep the music industry buzzing about her material. "That's one thing I don't like," Kim said, referring to how some of her fellow MCs' music careers suffered as their movie careers took off. "Will [Smith] was doing it at one point. Regular rappers were trying to [sell] five million [albums] and he was doing seven million, with flicks out that were doing $50 million a week. That's the type of success I want to follow. I think what happens is that the rappers [who] have success in Hollywood kinda start ignoring their music. I don't think it matters to them anymore. I ain't gonna front, [if] you're getting $20 to 25 million a film ... even $10 million a film is enough to make you say, 'I don't have to do an album this year.' [But] I wouldn't do that." And that's no Hollywood talk, either. Kim not only has a movie called "Guns and Roses" due out this summer, she has a new LP, La Bella Mafia, in stores now. Named La Bella Mafia after a 1997 made-for-TV movie, "Bella Mafia," in which widows of mob figures take over the family business, this LP has been heralded as Kim's best work since her trailblazing 1996 solo debut, Hard Core. On Mafia, she runs away from the syrupy melodies and hooks that hampered 2000's Notorious K.I.M.'s "How Many Licks" and "I'm Human," which seemed to pander to radio and dancefloors. Kim's latest opus is a return to the streets, where she enlists such sound-shapers as the always-unpredictable Swizz Beatz, Scott Storch, who has co-produced some of Dr. Dre's classic jeep thumpers, and Mobb Deep's master of morose tracks, Havoc.

"She's a star, [and] people respect stars," said Havoc, who first worked with Kim on Mobb Deep's remix to "Quiet Storm." "She's smart, and most of the decisions she makes are good musically. She's among the top people in the game, and she's better than a lot of [guys]. You don't have a choice but to give her that respect." "I think she's on top of the game," concurred Queen Latifah, who recorded with Kim on the soundtrack for the Academy Award-winning film "Chicago." "I just bought her album the other day and I love it. I think it's [about] her growing up. She still ballsy, and she's still gonna pop junk to any other female rapper out there, but I like where she is right now. I like to see her in control of where she wants to go. I'm proud of her." And while Kim loves the praise she's received from her peers and fans, she feels things could still be a lot better. Although Mafia put her on pace to equal or surpass the numbers she posted with her biggest selling LP, the double platinum Hard Core (despite its lukewarm reception, Notorious K.I.M. still sold over a million copies as well), Kim wasn't pleased with La Bella Mafia's first-week sales of close to 167,000 copies. "A lot of people say 'Kim is up there,' " the Queen Bee lamented, "but I don't feel that I'm up there 'cause I haven't accomplished my goal yet, which is to sell 10 million records of one album. Imagine what people will say when I reach that point." One thing people do talk about is how long it takes Kim to churn out albums. There was a four-year gap between the first two records, and even with the widely heralded Trackmasters and the spirit of Mafia co-executive producer B.I.G. fueling this album's beats and rhymes, it took years to make as well.

"It's kind of hard because I like to take my time to make things perfect," Kim said, explaining why she always has such a long gap between projects. "I went into this album thinking, 'I'm just going to have fun with it.' I said, 'I'm going to do what I want to do. Let me do this the way I feel B.I.G would have wanted me to do this.' He's the one that taught me everything I know, and he tells me things still. That's why B.I.G is listed as the co-executive producer on my album. It's just me and him." What also slows down production is the fact that you just can't keep the black Erica Kane locked in the studio for too long. She's got her manicured hands dipped in far too many projects to be getting stuck in a sound booth all night. For one thing, she's got a new clothing line, Hollyhood, still in development, with a launch tentatively planned for the fall. A true fashion aficionado, Kim's wild outfits, trend-setting hairdos and modeling stints for Mac and Candies and have given her a strong presence in the fashion world. Hobnobbing with clothing kingpins with last names like Prada, Versace and Armani have only strengthened her cause. "When she did 'Guns and Roses,' she was on the mark," LisaRaye said of Kim's spin as Chastity, the vixen of the bunch. In addition to the movie, the two worked together on a song for the film's soundtrack. "We filmed that movie in 18 days, so you know how quick and steady the flow was," she continued. "She was actually excellent." "It was fun," Kim said with a grin. "It's like a female 'Young Guns.' Us five females, we're like sisters. When we all got together it was nothing but love. For the most part, we were all sisters on that set — we all had each other's back. I like to surround myself with good people — positive people committed to their work." 

And make no mistake — if you're not committed to Kim, you can't be down. At her album release party a few weeks ago, celebrities such as Dave Chappelle, Mobb Deep, Jagged Edge and Wayne Wonder came out to one of Manhattan's newest hot spots, the Lobby, all ready to hail the Queen. Conspicuously absent were Kim's longtime running mates, Lil' Cease and the rest of the Junior M.A.F.I.A. Kim and the J.M., all friends and protégés of Biggie's, had been virtually inseparable since they were introduced back in 1995. The originally nine-member crew appeared on classic songs together, put out a gold album and performed at countless shows nationwide. When B.I.G. died, they leaned on each other during their collective time of mourning, and his memory was the glue that held them all together. And the bond was deep. When Kim went solo, she looked out for her boys as their careers stagnated. If they needed money, she hit them off. If one of her guys got in trouble with the law, as Larceny and Cease were known to do on a few occasions, Kim, the perennial mother figure, always bailed them out. At one point, the clique was so close that they all lived together in Kim's New Jersey mansion. But since then, the group's relationship has soured, and the Queen Bee has had to literally clean house. "Well, you have to move on and you have to grow," Kim said, visibly holding back venom and opting to give a more politically correct answer as to why she no longer associates with Cease and Co. "You can't be taken advantage of for too long, and it's a case where unfortunately, [the relationship] just went bad. In the same sense, I hope they do well and [that] they can find God in their hearts." On La Bella Mafia's "Heavenly Father," however, Kim's a little less restrained. She raps, "And was it enough that I split 20 percent of what I make?/ Was it enough that I cut n----s half of what I bake?" 

Lil' Cease is just as angry with Kim these days as she is with him. His biggest beef with her is not that she cut him off — it's that she won't let him go. He's so miffed at his onetime homegirl that he's started a "Free Cease A Leo" T-shirt campaign.

"I'm locked in a five-year contract with [Kim]," said Cease, who's signed as a solo artist to Queen Bee Records. Other than albums that Kim herself has recorded, Cease's poor-selling but critically acclaimed 1999 solo debut, The Wonderful World of Cease A Leo, is the only release to come from the Queen Bee Records imprint since it was founded in 1998.

"She's putting all this stuff out like she's not messing with me right now," Biggie's puffy-cheeked former best friend fumed. "I feel like if you [are] not messing with me, give me walking papers so I can do me. We had our differences [and] I thought we could patch them up, but honey is doing her thing. I'm not knocking her, but she still got me under paperwork. [I've] been trying to get in touch with her, [but] she's ducking me. I call the office, [but] she don't want to talk to me. I go to the office [and] I can't see her."

"There's a lot of truth to what Cease was saying," Kim retorted with a snarl before clamming up. "I don't really want to get into that. The only thing I'm concerned with is La Bella Mafia being in stores. The whole truth will come out later and I can't wait." Although Kim is being clandestine and won't say exactly when her and the Mafia started to fall out, she is more than willing to reveal when her relationship with her former manager, mentor, friend and Notorious K.I.M.'s executive producer P. Diddy went south. "I can honestly say that during the whole process of [making Notorious K.I.M.], Puff and I were like a brother and a sister arguing," said the 26-year-old. "One minute we'd be the best of friends, and then the next minute things weren't working out at all," Kim said. "Sometimes Puffy likes people to do whatever he says. I'm a creative person, an entertainer. I'm a boss lady. A lot of times when you [are] working with a boss man, you have to respect each other's opinion. I just wanted my respect and because I was young and female, I don't think he gave it to me fully." "I'm a hard coach from beginning to end," Diddy said unapologetically about his meticulous work ethic. "I'mma push an artist to [be] the best. Some artists feel [like], 'I've grown up, and I don't want you to push me this hard no more.' I can't really do that. I'm not crazy or anything, I just want to be the best. We gotta be the best every time." Kim said she was also hurt because when times got tough for her after Notorious K.I.M. received mixed reactions, Diddy abandoned her. "I loved Puffy with all my heart, [and] if you look back, I was the only one supporting him. [At the time we were making my album] I wasn't even signed to Bad Boy," she vented. "During those times I held his hands, like, 'I know these people hate you right now, but I'm with you, dawg.' Puffy can be very selfish. I had to let him go do him and I had to go do me. I needed people at that time that was going to support me 150 percent. I was only getting 50 percent. Unfortunately, I don't speak to him at all."

P. Diddy, who seems indifferent about the split, offers a simpler explanation: "I think it's [about] people outgrowing each other and people wanting different things." While Kim hasn't cut off all her old friends, she has been gravitating toward a new crowd on the road to becoming a better-rounded person. One of her biggest cheerleaders now is Victoria Gotti, a multimedia personality and the daughter of late mob boss John Gotti. The two met over a year ago at an event in New Jersey and have built a nurturing relationship. They've done their share of partying and have at least one big adventure in common: The line-slinging siren recently held her buddy to a long-standing promise to appear in one of her videos. In February, the pair braved the bitter cold to shoot the unreleased clip for Kim's song "I Came Back For You" in front of the Brooklyn Bridge. Gotti says she'd do anything for her homie. "It's weird because she's everything she is onstage and nothing like her [persona]," Gotti said, describing why such a diverse group of people show Kim love. "She is a chameleon. She can just rise to [any] occasion and fit whatever mood everybody's in. That's the one thing I adore about Kim, [and] that's the first thing that shines through. Forget her looks, forget her outrageous outfits — she's got personality that's second to none." And what Kim's hoping for is that soon, her success in all fields will be second to none. Even as her fan base broadens, she maintains that she'll never forget the gig that first put her on to all the other opportunities. In fact, she is as hungry as ever to stand out and rock the mic.  "I don't ever worry about competition," she says confidently in regards to her fellow female rappers. "I do a totally different thing from all these females. Everybody feels that 'I have to be at the top.' We can all be at the top selling records. There is no 'I'm better.' I know I'm a Queen and I do what I do.' "

    And what she is doing is everything.
