M.Ford covers the Winter ’10 issue of KING.

The homie Andreas Hale did the Q&A:

KING: While reaching you, via Blackberry Messenger, to schedule this interview your status read “Busy Watching Porn.” Um, please explain. Do you really indulge in porn?

MELYSSA: [Laughs] I definitely do. I don’t really have a particular genre of porn and I’m not really a fetishist. Sometimes I want to see if there are some tricks to expand my sexual repertoire. It’s not like I started watching it yesterday. Boyfriends are like, “let’s watch some porn!” Rather than being disgusted by it, I’d say, “sure, let’s watch it.”

Oh the irony. Tip covers Yellow Rat Bastard magazine. Folks who believe he’s a stool pigeon should have a field day with that one. Check out some footage from the shoot below and additional pics after the jump.

In related news, Clifford was found to have opiates in his system after his arrest in L.A. earlier this month, and it has been revealed that he was in possession of codeine and ecstasy as well as the weed he was initially reported to be holding at the time. Needless to say, U.S. District Judge Charles Pannel Jr. has ordered him into court to explain himself and there’s a good chance his probation could be violated.

The NY Times’ ArtsBeat blog got a early preview of the video for “Power”, which was created in collaboration with artist Marco Brambilla, and it sounds like it’s going to be a doozy.

In a coming video for his single “Power” that was created by the artist Marco Brambilla, Mr. West is seen standing imposingly with a heavy chain around his neck. As Mr. West raps the camera slowly zooms out in one continuous, unedited take to reveal him in a classical structure, surrounded by female attendants who are partly or entirely nude; some kneel before him on all fours, others wear devil horns and still others are suspended upside down from the ceiling. The Sword of Damocles hangs precariously over Mr. West’s head, and behind him an unseen executioner is preparing to strike him with a blade. (ArtsBeat was allowed to watch a portion of this video but was not permitted to post it.)

Read more, including comments from Mr. Brambilla, at the link below. And remember, it’s not a music video it’s a “video work that’s been commissioned by Kanye to accompany the music”.

Lindsay’s been on a rampage lately. So much so that after shooting this cover, she never even bothered to show up for the interview that was supposed to accompany it.

Rappers might be on that rock shit, but Linsay Lohan is on that rap shit. Flaking on interviews? Check. Unrepentant bad behaviour? Check. Gully enough to ignore a bench warrant, come back from Europe for a legal hearing, and have her court-supplied alcohol bracelet go off at the MTV Movie Awards? Check and mate. She’s Weezy, Yeezy, and motherfucking Jeezy all in one. Who else would choose her comeback vehicles to be Robert Rodriguez’s Machete and the Linda Lovelace biopic, Inferno? That’s gully on both counts. She may have been a Disney ingenue, but about five years ago she took a hard left, and we’ve been loving her for it—movies or no movies. So yea we’ve been angling to get her on the cover for a minute now. And when it happened? We’re about to remind people that they’ve been underestimating Lindsay. We’re about to ride out together, Bonnie and Clyde style. But some funny things happend on the way to making magic—and they reminded us that Lilo’s not lost, she’s just trying to hide from the vultures.

Oh well, I’m sure most of Complex’s demo would rather oggle her KAWS enhanced photos than read what she has to say anyway.

After the jump, check out some behind the scenes video from the shoot.
