Check out excerpts from her interview on a BlogTalk Radio show below:

What’s going on in her life.

I’ve been sober for two years, and a lot of people can’t say that. I’m timid, shy and broken a little bit by some of the responses [online], but then again so much support from the people saying “No! She’s none of that.” Real friends stepping up … And just showing me who the real people were in my life. It helped me find myself and find out that there’s a real true artist inside of me–that no matter what obstacles may come, he’s not going to let you fall, and he’s not going to let you down.

I started ministering to myself and looking at my heart … Finding my voice … And it just made me stronger. If it doesn’t kill you, it will make you stronger. Like Drake says, “It’s far from over…” I listened to the music that people were making, and it kept inspiring me. I started making music, and I just stepped out on a limb. My mom died … So much has happened. I miss people in my life. I miss LL [Cool J]. Debbie Allen came back to the community … And for once so many miracles. I swear so many miracles!

On the state of her career and the youtube videos that surfaced:

I went on to do movies, and nobody talked about it, and that hurt me. I did a movie called ‘Rim Shop’ after Katrina had happened in New Orleans. We went down there, and that place looked a mess, seriously. We shot a film out there just to help those people, to bring revenue in and just show our support to their situation. Then, I did a gospel kind of Tyler Perry play called ‘Friends and Lovers’.

On her marriage:
My marriage is not on the rocks. But I would be a liar and my fans would hate me if I said to them, ‘Oh, we’re perfect and everything is great.’ We have our situations just like everybody else. I mean, we’re not out in public tryna kill each other, but it’s real. But we love each other. That’s it.

On motherhood:
When it’s time, when it happens. It’s in my future, but I’m not planning it. I don’t want to do it because its the trend. I was a babysitter when I was a kid. I babysitted kids from 12 to, like, 16 years old. I changed diapers, I heard ‘em cry so I don’t…

Inside, she talks being Black in Hollywood and her childhood with fellow star Jennifer Lopez.

On Hollywood:
I think it’s a really special time to be a woman of color in this business. The landscape of who has the power is changing. We are in more influential positions and are able to have a say in the stories that are told. I feel very lucky to be in the business now.

On Jennifer Lopez:
I grew up blocks away from Jennifer Lopez. She and I went to the same Boys & Girls Club. She was like the dancer who made it big and moved to Hollywood. [I told her] ‘I don’t know if I would’ve taken a risk in my career if it weren’t for you.’

The assistant, Nia Crooks filed a theft report against Jennifer Monday with the Halladale Police Department, claiming Jenn is refusing to return the house keys Nia loaned her two months ago back when they were still friends.

Apparently Jenn has been making threats to Nia since their racetrack scuffle telling her– “watch your back” — and Nia doesn’t feel comfortable with Jennifer having a key to her house. Nia has repeatedly asked Jennifer to return the keys with no luck, so she had no choice but to turn to the cops for help.

Calls to Jennifer have not been returned.

The decision sparked an outcry from abortion rights advocates blaming “political pressure” and praise from an anti-abortion group.

The move comes less than a year after Komen hired a new vice president, who has publicly stated her opposition to abortion, a service provided at some Planned Parenthood facilities.

Komen has a long history of providing funding to various Planned Parenthood affiliates for such services as manual breast exams and referrals for mammograms and biopsies to check suspicious lumps for cancer. Although that money is not used for abortions, the Komen Foundation may have yielded to demands from antiabortion groups to sever its ties to Planned Parenthood.

The Komen Foundation argues that their reason for cutting ties with Planned Parenthood is that they do not want to be involved with an organization that is being investigated by the government, after Rep. Cliff Stearns (R-Fl.) launched an inquiry to determine where Planned Parenthood public money goes.

Clearly, no one is considering the health and welfare of less privileged women in this country? This is not about abortion, it’s about catching breast cancer in its early stages and saving women’s lives!

“It was really the most grueling and one of the hardest things I’ve done,” Patton, 36, tells PEOPLE about her intense training while attending Thursday’s Reebok Crossfit Sport of Fitness campaign launch in New York.

“I worked out for two and half hours, six days a week for a couple of months. It was so hard!”

To stay motivated, “I would never cry in front of the boys, but inside I was hurting and a little depressed,” she admits.

Patton now works out for one hour five days a week, doing such activities as running, weight training, Pilates and yoga with her husband, singer Robin Thicke.

“We started doing it together years ago,” says Patton. “I’m much more flexible than him, but he’s much stronger than I am. So it’s really fun to workout together. We balance each other.

“Becoming a mother is the best thing that’s happened to me.

“He’s at the age where he’s talking. He’s not doing soliloquies, but he’s saying Mama, Dada, car and dog. His vocabulary is growing every day. He makes me so happy.”

We’re not sure if we feel sorry for Paula…if we had our own personal trainer and nutritionist, we too could lose our baby weight in record time.
