You never know what you’re getting with TLC. In the January issue of Sister 2 Sister, Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes is quoted as saying, “I’m the creative force behind TLC.” That’s not even the best part. In the 12-page cover story, Lopes rebuts quotes her bandmates gave to another magazine, saying that she “doesn’t stick with us.”
“They stated in the Entertainment Weekly article that Left Eye only cares about Left Eye and her solo project,” Lopes tells Sister’s Jamie Foster Brown. “As if everyone wasn’t trying to do things on the side. And what’s wrong with that?
“. . . I would like to add a comment to this article that everybody should know: They tried to dismiss my songs as if they were not up to par when in fact one of the tracks that were not accepted . . . was that song that Whitney Houston did, `Heartbreak Hotel.’ That song was our song. They turned down that smash!”
If you saw “Anna and the King,” then you’ll know that Jodie Foster has one of the worst English accents this side of “Baywatch.” But the Oscar- winning actress is a fine thespian who speaks candidly about her art and, more important, her 18-month-old son, Charlie, in the January issue of Ladies’ Home Journal. “In some ways I really want to talk about (Charlie), because he’s a huge part of my life, he’s just amazing,” Foster says in the cover story. “But it’s going to be hard enough tobemy son. . . .”
Asked if she’ll sign on to star in the sequel to “The Silence of the Lambs,” the 37-year-old actress says, “I can’t talk about it until I read the script.”
