Magic Johnson really wants to cheer Lamar Odom up: - "I would bring him a bag of Skittles. Because that was his thing. Candy was this thing... I just want to see the smile.

Misty Copeland does not identify as biracial, but strictly Black: - "I've gotten some flack from the African-American community...[people] say, 'You're not really Black,' or 'You don't really have dark skin.' I’m fully aware that it's harder to succeed in ballet as a darker-skinned woman, but it has to start somewhere… I know that I'm viewed as a Black woman in society.”(Photo: Brad Barket/Getty Images)Quentin Tarantino sort of apologizes to Ava DuVernay after slamming Selma, which he hasn't even seen: - “I’m writing you to pass on that the quote from the New York Times piece about Selma is wrong. I never saw Selma. If you look at the article, it was [interviewer Bret Easton Ellis] who was talking about Selma, not me. I did say the line, 'It deserved an Emmy,’ but when I said it, it was more like a question.”(Photo: Charley Gallay/Getty Images for The Weinstein Company)
