Speculation about a possible reality show with R&B singer Kelis and her husband Nas began swirling throughout the internet earlier this week when The New York Post's Page Six reported that the two were being filmed while dining at Buddakan, a trendy pan-Asian restaurant in the city. Kelis is now setting the rumors straight, explaining that she simply wants to document every moment of her life?that way she won't forget them.

"With all the events we do, I like to see my life," Kelis told AOL Music during a visit to its New York studios yesterday. "I drive Nas crazy 'cause it's usually me with the camera, which he is totally over. So, I just got this guy to help us document our life. Whether we choose to do something with it or not is still up in the air. Right now, I really just wanna show my kids how fly Mommy was when she was in her twenties."

Kelis admits to forgetting several years of her life, from age 14 to 23, due to heavy marijuana use. "I used to smoke a lot of weed," she said. "I don't anymore, but I forgot about like nine years of my life. I feel like that era was just a haze. I always knew I was gonna be a weed smoker; I did not think drugs were bad."

No worries, she is now drug free: "I can't remember the exact year I stopped, but I remember stopping. I wasn't even getting high anymore, it was more of a habitual thing. That's how I knew it was time to stop. It was like 'I'm bored. Let's have a sober period, that could be fun."
