B,

Got this email from Insider magazine. I know we made a deal 4 years ago re: interviews, but this one is for a good cause. They pooled money from a lot of sponsors, and they're giving it to our charities of choice as payment for the interview.

It's a lot of money, B.

Read on through the email below and lemme know what u think. ;)

.xx, M

B,

Holy fudge. That is a crazy amount! Are we that interesting still? I don't know, B. It's a no-holds barred interview.

xoxo, Cait

IT'S FOR CHARITY. Think of the lives you can change, Caitlin. Take a risk. It could be fun.

P.S. I don't have anything to hide.

Should've known that you've already made up your mind about this. So when do we do this?

Tour resumes on April 1—it's our 1000th show. You'll be there, right? (This is non-negotiable. I'd fly you here on a private jet if I have to, so woman, FILE YOUR LEAVE. YOU ARE NOT GETTING OUT OF THIS.)

We're on a break the week prior, I'd ask Fletch to coordinate if we can do it then.

Skype soon, B?

The Real Score: Gezellig's Marcus Wayans and Caitlin Tan

Wayans and Tan's friendship has long been a subject of dispute—are they friends or are they more? Insider Carina Simmons tries to settle this matter.

"They defy all possible logic."

That was how Marcus Wayans' best friend and Gezellig bandmate Tom Morris described Wayans' friendship with Caitlin Tan. And he wasn't just referring to how their friendship has survived the miles, the years, and the controversies; he was also pertaining to the lines that blur whenever Wayans and Tan are together.

And like Morris, every single 'Gezer'—as Gezellig fans call themselves—have given up trying to assess this so-called platonic friendship.

BOY MEETS GIRL

Marcus Wayans, 23, popular for his crazy, wild hair, emerald green eyes, dimpled cheeks, and his many tattoos, is the de facto front man and resident playboy of the world's biggest boyband, Gezellig. With 15 million Twitter followers and hundreds of Tumblr accounts dedicated to his name, he is considered as one of the most influential celebrities of this generation. He resides in Greater London, England.

The girl is Caitlin Tan, 27, a fair-skinned, bespectacled beauty with dimpled cheeks and formerly wavy hair that can rival Wayans', but she had it straightened out. In the world that Wayans works in, she is a commoner, an outsider whisked into what he calls the 'madness.' In her world, she is a media planner executive, working a nine-to-whenever job. She lives halfway across the world from Wayans in Manila, Philippines.

HOW THEY MET: Setting the record straight

Rumors and reports say that Wayans and Tan met during Gezellig's concert in Manila, where he spotted her in the audience and had gotten William Preston, the band's head security, to get her number.

Wayans, however, was quick to shoot this down, saying, "Cait doesn't even know who I was when we met!"

Tan was nodding eagerly beside him. "I wasn't a fan."

So how did they really meet?
