He tells MTV News, "Once you've heard one track, you'll want to hear them all. It's like the TV series 24."

EG: Do you ever feel like the show is edited in such a way that you come across badly or not quite accurately?

D.Woods: In the media, there's a tendency to give women characters. But in reality, there are so many different sides to a person. Maybe you love to be wild and crazy, you love to be at home cuddling to a movie, you cry and are extra-emotional about things that hurt you, you fight for things you believe in. Every woman embodies that, but on television, sometimes you get pigeonholed and that is what society is taught to be entertained by....

Last year, Weld Wheel teamed up with hip-hop musician Sean �P. Diddy� Combs to produce a new line of custom, precision-forged aluminum rims for sports trucks, luxury SUVs and other high-end vehicles.

Cassie: I've gotten a couple of scripts. They are both Denzel Washington films. One that he is directing and one that he is actually in. I'm excited about it and nervous. I've never really acted before. I did plays when I was little but that has nothing to do with being on the big screen. I want to do it after I take lessons.
