John Legend at Baby Phat

John Legend at Baby Phat

Celebrating a decade of fashion, Kimora Lee Simmons held a star-studded party at The Plaza on Friday night following her Baby Phat Spring 2009 runway show. Among the guest list was sexy musical crooner John Legend. (So cute!) FYI: He wears Invisalign on his top and bottom teeth. Who knew? Check out my red carpet interview:

GlamChic: There’s talk about a “new you” on the upcoming album. What brought about the change?

John Legend:
You know, it’s not a drastic change. I just upped the tempo, changed the beat a little bit, changed the sound. I’m still me but just with a different beat.

GlamChic:
What’s your favorite song on the new album?

John Legend:
Good Morning. It’s a song about morning sex.

GlamChic:
Do you and Andre 3000 trade style secrets?

John Legend: Nah, Andre does him, you know? Andre’s very unique and he’s got great style. He’s got his own line coming out and you know I can never be him so I don’t even try.

GlamChic: How is your charity doing?

John Legend:
Well, we did a year with the Gentleman’s Fund which was a GQ thing, but I have my own charity called the Show Me Campaign. We work on poverty. We work in Africa, and we do a thing called the Poverty Action Tour where we go to colleges around the country. I’m really pleased with the success of that. We’re still working very hard and raising a lot of money trying to save some lives.

GlamChic:
What’s the conversation like between you and Jeffrey Sachs (the director of The Earth Institute at Columbia University and author of The End of Poverty)?

John Legend: Oh, we just catch up on our travels. Talk politics a little bit. Talk about the work we’re doing. Talk music sometimes.

GlamChic:
Do you have any thoughts on Kanye’s arrest?

John Legend: No, no thoughts. In the video…I heard about the video obviously. I’m sure he’ll be fine.

GlamChic: Are there any trends you’re looking forward to for fall?

John Legend: I don’t really follow trends. John Legend’s album is coming out October 28th. That’s the most important thing for the fall. If you get that, then you’re all good.

Mark it on your calendars. It’s a must buy. Can’t wait! ~ Maria Denardo
