Her saucy new album Here I Am is full of lyrics like, “When we’re done, I don’t want to feel my legs” and now she’s going topless on the cover of Vibe Magazine…

Guess this means Kelly Rowland’s had enough of the “Good Girl” image.

The 30-year-old former “Child of Destiny” stripped down for the latest cover of the music mag as her sultry song “Motivation” holds its seventh week at the top of the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop charts.

“I just wanted it to be skin, I’m so comfortable in my skin. As a woman, sometimes that takes so long to get to,” says the formerly flat-chested Kelly, who underwent breast augmentation surgery in 2007.

“I’m not trying to sell sex. I’m just completely being myself,” she added. “I don’t let nobody dictate who I am. I did it that way for too long that I don’t care about those people no more. I really don’t.”

Oh — could that be a reference to Beyonce’s alleged sticky-fingered father Mathew Knowles? After all, this is Kelly’s first album since she dumped Daddy Warbucks as her manager in 2009.

So she’s not naked on the cover, but the First Lady of Neo-Soul — songbird Erykah Badu — gets candid in an almost-as-revealing interview on the pages of the June/July issue of VIBE.

Here’s what the mom of four had to say about her banned “Window Seat” video:

“I look at some other videos. I’m not naming names, because I don’t want that to be mentioned. There is the thing with sexuality. I’m naked for 13 seconds, and these people are naked the whole time and gyrating and saying come “lick on my lollipop,” and “suck on my cinnamon roll,” and, you know, suggesting sex. People are uncomfortable with sexuality that’s not for male consumption. Could be ‘cause I did it in public too. Do you think people would have been complaining if I had on high-heel shoes?”

“I’m not abandoning the funny voices. I just did a crazy tribute to ODB’s ‘Shimmy Shimmy Ya,’ but it’s coming up more with the album. I had a teacher in elementary who would stand on her table and whisper. We’d all turn around like, ‘What is this lunatic doing?’ But she would achieve what she wanted. She wanted us to stop talking and listen. I feel like I need to mellow it down so people can hear what I have to say…..” Nicki Minaj, VIBE June/July 2010

Erykah Badu’s going nude again — this time its for her appearance on the June/July double issue of VIBE Magazine, which the neo-soul priestess shares with hip-hop sensation Nicki Minaj.

Jay Electronica’s leading lady is also featured on the cover of this week’s edition of Jet Magazine, where the soul star chats about her “Out My Mind” multi-city tour.

Chris Brown’s “Forgive Me, Buy My Album!” campaign hits newsstands Dec. 15, in the form of a cover story for VIBE’s relaunch issue.

The embattled crooner — whose third album Graffiti, hits stores Tuesday (Dec. –shares his views on domestic abuse and the dearly-departed King of Pop.

“It’s never okay for a man to hit a woman but it’s [also] never okay for a woman to hit a man,” Brown says. “I think domestic violence is not just men on women.”

In June, Chris plead guilty to one count of assault, following an altercation with ex-girlfriend Rihanna, earlier this year. He was sentenced to 180 days of community service, five years probation, counseling, and an order to stay away from Rihanna.

Chatty Chris also had plenty to say about BET’s tribute to Michael Jackson at the BET Awards in June.

VIBE: You were removed from the BET Awards show when the Michael Jackson tribute was happening. As a supreme MJ fab, that had to hurt.

CB: “It was wack. I’ll keep it a hundred. The BET Awards was horrible. I was watching it, holding my face like, “Oh my God, this is wack.” I didn’t get it. Michael Jackson was such a big entertainer. And I’m not dissing any of the artists who did the songs. But I was expecting a lot more of energy for Michael. And BET Awards usually comes hard. I was exepecting them to have Usher, Omarion and even Justin. And I was expecting Ne-Yo to sance. They were so bent on getting me there that they messed up their own show….”

Glad VIBE’s back….but we’re not sure about putting Ike Turner’s grandson on the first new issue. Just sayin’…..

The new publishers plan to reopen VIBE.com within the next month and reintroduce VIBE to fan and subscribers as a print quarterly before the end of the year.

At least one former VIBE lover thinks so.

Kenneth Rogers, of Alabama, is suing the urban-interest publication that shut down last month, claiming he purchased a one year subscription three months before the magazine’s unexpected shut down. Rogers has filed a class action lawsuit against the magazine and its owners for breach of contract, unjust enrichment, and for violating New York State’s deceptive practices statute.

Reuters writes: “As the magazine was quietly closing up the shop, the Vibe website continued to contain links to advertisements enticing customers to purchase subscriptions to the magazine,” the lawsuit says, naming Vibe Media Group as a defendant along with unnamed people associated with the magazine. Vibe should have “publicly disclosed to subscribers that it was teetering on the brink of insolvency.”

According to the suit, a one-year subscription cost between $9.95 and $14.95.

Quincy Jones is distraught that VIBE, the urban interest magazine he founded in 1993, folded on Tuesday, after nearly 16 years in the business. The music mogul and superproducers says he may attempt to buy back the brand he created but later sold — but don’t expect VIBE to return as a print magazine.

Q’s looking to take over the web.

“I’m trying to buy my magazine back now,” the star — who is still recovering from the death of his dear friend Michael Jackson — told EbonyJet.com in a Tuesday phone call. “They just messed my magazine all up, but I’m gonna get it back. You better believe it, I’m’a take it online because print and all that stuff is over.”

“We gotta get into the 21st century you know,” he added. “Print and all that stuff is over, we gotta remember that. The Chicago Tribune, The Seattle Post Intelligencer. The Miami Herald. They’re over the same way as the record business. We have got to get into this century.”
