Eve: Bust Magazine

Eve is on the cover of the latest issue of Bust magazine. As a long time reader of the mag, I find her to be a bit of a strange fit. A few years back when she reached into our collective female chests and squeezed the hell out of our hearts with the wrenching “Love is Blind” it would have made sense, but back then unfortunately, the entire rap genre (not to mention Eve’s additional status as a style icon) was pretty much lost on Bust.

Nowadays, the woman has not only had her pitbull-in-a-skirt swagger swiped out from underneath her by RhiRhi, but is struggling to resurrect her music career via a fourth album that has been pushed back repeatedly. Notably, the mag doesn’t even acknowledge the delays and annouces the record as available when in actuality, it won’t hit stores until the end of January (Eve hopes).

All that being said, girl still has her hot moments and if you ask me, her tough girl pose carries a hell of a lot more substance than Miss Umbrella-ella-ella. Case in point:

The music industry, it’s about as nasty as a business gets.

On a major side note, if you’re wondering what the hell that whole connection between her DUI and Sean Penn was, this is what she said in the interview:

I’ve known him for a while through some mutual friends. Sean’s one of those people who wants to help everybody, be it one person or the world. He is that person, and he saw what happened–I guess he was behind me or something. The cops were like, “Sean Penn is here.” And I was like, “Oh, Uhh, OK.” But he thought he could come and help me out, which I thought was a really sweet thing to do. I wish he could’ve. But it’s all good.

Given the tales of Sean’s own drunken adventures since her arrest, it all kind of makes sense, doesn’t it?
