Thanks o-lovely.com I can imagine a magazine ad with Liv as a before shot and Beyonce as an after. She reminds me of Beyonce with a really bad nose.

After all the ice melted, a couple other G-Unit members came out, including 50 Cent and Yayo for an all out G-Unit f**kin press junket. Teairra skimmed over Olivia's tentative album release date to get the details on 50's re-release of the The Masacre and MA$E signing with G-Unit.
Essentially these two sisters play the same role in their prospective camps; the pretty girl to sing hooks. It's the same role Ashanti made famous in Murder Inc., or the Inc, or whatever the name is/was.

Check out a brand new interview done by popyoularity.com! Olivia speaks about her next single, fears, priorities, and much more.
popYOUlarity.com: Talk about: So Sexy. Olivia: It’s Sexy, period. I love that record. It is actually going to be my next single. We are shooting the video at the end of the month and I’m so excited. That record puts you in a vibe kind of like when Carl Simons’ “Summer Rain” Came out. It kind of reminds me of that. It just brings me back.
popYOUlarity.com: What about Twist It? Olivia: Twist it was the first single on my record. It’s a party record. It is just a lot of fun to perform.
popYOUlarity.com: How much of a factor is destiny? Olivia: I believe in destiny. We have a lot of faith. We bring our bible with us on the bus all of the time.
popYOUlarity.com: What are your top priorities in life? Olivia: Family first definitely then comes the music business. Oh, I should have put God around the family though. Everything else is really just materialistic.
popYOUlarity.com: Is there anything you fear or hate about yourself? Olivia: I just have a fear about failing.
popYOUlarity.com: What is the sweetest thing someone has ever done for you? Olivia: Rose petals all over the house
popYOUlarity.com: If you were able to go for a long drive, where would you go and during what time of the day would be most ideal? Olivia: I would go to the beach, and it would be at night.
popYOUlarity.com: What are you guilty of taking for granted? Olivia: Sometimes that I have both my parents. Most people don’t have one, but at least I talk to them everyday.
popYOUlarity.com: What was a change that you had to make in your life that, at the time, you weren’t sure if you could actually pull it off? Olivia: Coming over to G-unit; I wasn’t sure about it.
popYOUlarity.com: What animal do you most closely resemble in regard to your characteristics and likes/dislikes? Olivia: I may not resemble my dog, but people say we kind of do because my dog has the same hair colour, but it didn’t get died to look like mine. Probably him because he is so friendly and always wants to play. He is very playful and he loves kissing and hugging.
popYOUlarity.com: Are you the type of person who will give another person unlimited chances (you just can’t help yourself) and will always be there to help pick her/himself up off the ground, OR do you have a limit where you finally take a stand and firmly declare that this will be the last time that you will come to her/his rescue? Olivia: If they are friends I’ll give them two or three chances. If it is a relationship, they only get one.
popYOUlarity.com: Which piece of advice did you ever receive that changed you perspective in every way (or at least significantly)? Olivia: Probably my mothering telling me to do unto others as you would have them do upon you. I do that all the time. I make sure I’m always friendly and I’m always taking care of people. That’s always been a habit of mine though.
popYOUlarity.com: What is something you have told yourself on many occasions that it will be the last time you will do, but somewhere down the road you once again indulge yourself? Olivia: Eating junk food like chocolate cake.
popYOUlarity.com: Do you have anything you would like to say to the readers of popYOUlarity.com? Olivia: Go buy my album in October, called “Behind Closed Doors.”

Recently, you have heard the new lead single from Olivia of G Unit, Twist It. Well folks, she jacked part of the melody and words from one of my songs called, Show Me. Listen to it at www.myspace.com/ldoublea or www.audiostreet.net/ldoubleaI tried to hit up Dj Whoo Kid, but he's not that bright of a person. So he didn't comprehend the situation. I wanted to handle this quietly and discuss this like business people. It's an embarrassing situation for me, knowing that someone took my music like that. My song has been revolving around for months, on the net, clubs, cars, stereos, parties, etc. It's my biggest song, but to them it's small. I'm unknown, maybe that's why they did it. But I'm not up here to campaign a G Unot thing. Basically don't steal my shit if you're not going to pay me, or show me some luv. And I want them to read, or find out about this before my new cd drops, so I can make the right decision on what songs goes on this cd. 30 tracks of dopeness. It's a promo, but it's all good on me.

Leading Lady 50 took her to the "Candy Shop" and now Olivia is ready to take it to the top with a new album and a new attitude
As the First Lady of the G-Unit, she rolls with 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks and Young Buck, guys who've been known to match their outfits to their bulletproof vests. But Olivia isn't the bad girl you may have thought she was. As she prepped for the New Jersey stop of her current tour with G-Unit, Ludacris, Ciara and Lil Jon and the East Side Boyz, we spent the day with the diva and found her to be remarkably sweet! But that doesn't mean she's a pushover - as the only female in her crew, a first lady's gotta flaunt her confidence as much as her diamonds.
Not that the guys act like bratty big brothers or anything. "They spoil me!" she says of her hip-hop family, who regularly gift her with courtside seats (she recently sat next to Lindsay Lohan at a New York Knicks game), spa days and Fendi bags. "We're really like a family [that's] on a road trip."
So how did the Brooklyn native hook up with the hottest posse in the game after releasing a 2001 debut disc that didn't break big? Luckily enough, 50 just picked up the phone last summer and offered the 23-year-old the coveted first lady title. No shrinking violet, Olivia wasn't intimidated by the offer. "I was kinda shocked by him asking, so to think about it and get back to him," she says. "And nobody tells 50 that! Two days later, I called back and said I would do it."
The first step in her comeback was huge - 50 re-introduced her to the charts with the #1 collabo "Candy Shop." They created the blockbuster in record time. "We were on a plane headed to Miami," she says. "He was just coming up with ideas... we kept messing with it and we came up with the hook." After landing they went straight to the studio and did the damn thing - quickly. "We did it in like 20 minutes," she says.
Now, the sultry singer is ready for all eyes to be on her. Her own disc, her first as a member of G-Unit, is titled Behind Closed Doors, and comes out this fall. Even though this album is all about Olivia, she's still happy to take 50's advice. He was the one who recommended "Twist It" (featuring Lloyd Banks) as the first single. "Fif wanted to go with the record because it had the hip-hop feel on it," she says. "He didn't want me to go straight to R&B." She's saved that vibe for the second single, "So Sexy," which is more like the rest of what you'll hear behind her closed doors.
"Basically this is a sexy album. Fif and I came up with [the title] together because you do most of your naughty things behind closed doors," she says. "Also, I didn't want to let anyone in when I was on J Records [her previous record label] because I was being somebody I wasn't."
With her first record deal, under the direction of legendary executive Clive Davis, Olivia felt pressure to have a bad girl 'tude. It got her a lot of attention (maybe even 50's), but it wasn't something she was comfortable with. "I grew up singing in the church," she says. But "Clive came at me and I'm going to tell him no? I got to get my start and what better way to start than with the man on top. I'm very happy for it because it was a learning experience for me."
Now, she's ready to show people who she really is. "I'm letting you in behind my closed doors," she says. "Those are my most intimate thoughts and my most intimate places, so I want to open them up to the world now."
Now that she's started being herself in her music, she's not stopping. We got a peek inside the studio bus, which travels with the tour so the artists can record while they're on the road. Even though Behind Closed Doors isn't out yet, Olivia is making music for her next disc. "I always want to be in the studio," she says. And when the first lady's ready but someone's in the booth, she just yells: "I need to get on the bus and make some music! Y'all need to hurry up!"
And we bet they do.

rotfl. Poor Olivia. She's innocent in all this G Unit beef, but everybody is targeting her. Her new nickname is "Oliver" and people are making songs about how her penis was hanging out of her red shorts in the "Candy Shop" video.

Olivia Longott was born in 1981 in Brooklyn, New York, and is known only as Olivia. A mix of Jamaican, Indian and Cuban ethnicity, Olivia was anointed the "First Lady of G-Unit" by 50 Cent. The two sang "Candy Shop" together, which became a major hit in 2005. And with her new album, Behind Closed Doors, set to drop in October 2005, Olivia will be dominating the charts in no time.
And Olivia and her crew are offering you the chance to win free G-Unit clothes. AskMen.com, in association with G-Unit, is giving one winner the ultimate prize pack -– G-Unit clothes and shoes, plus music from Olivia. To enter click here. Contest ends October 6, 2005.
Q-1: First and foremost: How did you get involved with 50 Cent and G-Unit?
Oh man, I was signed to Interscope first, before I came over and then that's where [50 Cent] had heard my stuff. He was circulating it to [Dr.] Dre and they were all listening to it and he called me up on the threeway with my manager and they said, you know, we heard all your stuff and we think that J Records messed up and we want you as the first lady of G-Unit. And that was it, from there on, I thought about it for a little while and got back to him, and we filled out the paperwork.
Q-2: Speaking of J Records, what are some major differences between your time at J Records and your time now with the G-Unit crew?
Oh man, with G-Unit I get to be myself. At J, I couldn't be myself, they were trying to make me something I wasn't. Now over here, I could just totally explore everything I want to do. 50 doesn't tell me what I have to write about, you know, what type of beats to stick to and everything. He just gives me my freedom.
Q-3: Now about 50... Is your relationship with him strictly professional? Because there are rumors...
Yeah, there are rumors about me with them all. Those ain't bad rumors though...
Q-4: That's true, there are worse things that people could be saying... so why do you think that, of all the hot singers out there, 50 Cent approached you to be the princess of his crew?
Because he said I had it all. He said I had the looks, the material, everything. He said I met all the qualifications.
Q-5: No doubt, you are a very sexy lady and even your lyrics are very sexual. Do you think it's possible to be a successful singer nowadays without being sexy?
Um, definitely you can. There are so many women who are, like, I love Shania Twain and Faith Hill, and I don't think they're over-the-top sexy.
Q-6: As for over-the-top sexy, according to you, what is the "Candy Shop"?
The Candy Shop is anything... There will be no sex talk in this interview, ya hear? [laughs] No, the Candy Shop is just like your basic fantasy, you know, like how we did in the video, we made sure we didn't have one specific type of girl, we had every type of girl: light skin, dark skin, brown skin, you know? So we wanted to cater to everybody's fantasy.
Olivia loves sports. Basketball is her favorite sport, and you can always find her watching a game somewhere. Q-7: And I hear that you're in the midst of doing a G-Unit lingerie line. Will you be modeling the clothing?
We're trying to work it out right now. Yeah, I will definitely be modeling the clothes.
Q-8: Well, since we get to see you in lingerie, will you ever take it a step further and pose nude in a certain men's magazines?
No, not at all. No, no. My parents are already having a hard time.
Q-9: Okay, let's move on to music: What's your favorite song of all time?
Luther Vandross' "So Amazing."
Q-10: Are there any other rappers besides those of G-Unit that you'd like to collaborate with, or even singers from other genres that you'd like to work with?
Yeah, Mos Def, I love Mos Def. As for other genres, I would do something with Shania [Twain], I love her. Even Esthero, she's actually my favorite artist, I listen to her every day.
Q-11: Are you afraid that you might get shot when you're hanging out with 50 Cent?
No I'm never afraid; he takes care of me more than he takes care of himself. He always puts me before everything. He's great; I've never been insecure around him.
Q-12: Finish this sentence: I love it when a man...
Kisses me on my forehead.
Q-13: And finally, do you know that one of your high school pictures, which features you with painted on eyebrows, is circulating the Net? That's fame for you... are you ready for the skeletons to come flying out of the closet?
That's okay, all my pictures are fly, they can take whatever they want. I ain't worried about anything. God is good. Remember y'all, buy my album, Behind Closed Doors, it's dropping in October [2005].
