Amanda Latona
Hometown:
Orlando, Florida
Date of birth:
March 24, 1979
Vital stats:
5'6"
Modest appraisal:
“I am as real as possible, and I am completely down-to-earth and strikingly beautiful [laughs], and I’m funny—woo-hoo!”
Where you’ve seen her:
Boasting nine tattoos, this new girl off the rock-chick production line and ex-girlfriend of Backstreet Boy AJ McLean was once a member of the teen group Innosense but is now going solo with her debut album, which is due out early next year. But if you can’t wait that long, check out her current single, “Can’t Take It Back.”
She wants to be your friend:
“I want to be cool. I don’t want to be the girl that shows the midrib and walks around all sexy. I want to be a girl that people can relate to. I don’t want to be intimidating to anyone.”
Good guys need not apply:
“I love bad boys. I hate the fact that I do, but I do. Though if I could find a bad boy who’s really nice, who isn’t like ‘Sex, drugs, and rock’n’roll! Yeah, baby!’ then that would be perfect.”
What we’ve always suspected:
“Guys and girls are so different. It’s literally like that book Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus. I cannot believe—talking to guys and talking to girls—how much girls all think alike and how much guys all think alike. They’re totally opposite.”
Full of surprises:
“I like to be real. I’ll be in an interview, and I’ll just say whatever I feel. Like ‘Dude, do you see that guy’s butt?’ or something like that. I talked about a penis once in an interview [laughs heartily] and the interviewer was like, ‘I can’t believe you just said that.’ ” |
