MIRANDA: What’s your real name?
KEKE: Lauren Palmer
MIRANDA: So who first called you Keke?
KEKE: My older sister. Do you have any nicknames?
MIRANDA: My mom calls me Randy, which humiliates me.
KEKE: That’s so cute, though.
MIRANDA: It’s not.
MIRANDA: Do you listen to your own CD?
KEKE: Never. Do you?
MIRANDA: No. I get embarrassed and want to hide when I hear myself singing. When I listen to my music or see my video, I’m like, “Ah, turn it off!” I just want to scream and rip something up.
KEKE: What do you do when you’re online?
MIRANDA: I’m always getting in trouble because when I’m supposed to be doing my homework, I’ll start IMing my friends. I watch music videos a lot, too. I used to shop a lot, but every time I’d order something, it would be nothing like what it looked like on the Internet.
KEKE: Who would you like to have as a guest star on your show?
MIRANDA: Rihanna. And Shia LaBeouf.
KEKE: He’s so amazing. And he’s really cute.
MIRANDA: He’s cool, and he’s a really good actor. I liked EVEN STEVENS – I used to watch that.
KEKE: I used to watch that all the time!
MIRANDA: Who would you like to have as a guest star on your show?
KEKE: I would love to have Chris Brown. Maybe he wants True to dress him for a concert or something. That would be so cool.
MIRANDA: Or he’s True’s love interest!
KEKE: Oh, girl, you’re about to get hired on my show as a producer!
