MACY GRAY - GRAY: 'SUCCESS MADE ME A MONSTER'

Overnight success turned R+B star MACY GRAY into a "asshole". The husky-voiced I TRY singer, 39, exploded onto the music scene with 1999 debut On How Life Is - and she admits she was seduced by the trappings of her success. She says, "You can become an asshole when you get things like money and fame; it's very easy to be a jerk, you know? "So I went down that route for a while, and at the end of the day that's all you really are: an asshole."
