So, I'm assuming you watched the trailer. Now, what do you think? Will this movie ever make it to theaters? Do you think it's as cutting-edge as some people do? 'Dear White People' is a satire about a black face in a white place, so says the film's creators. From the Huff Po:
Perhaps it was being mistaken for the one other Black guy in my office by a colleague who had worked with him for years... Or perhaps it was being asked repeatedly by co-workers to teach them the Single Ladies Dance? Either way something provoked me to go on Twitter as @DearWhitePeople two years ago and start tweeting things like:
"Dear White People. The single ladies dance is dead. Please turn off your web cams and go on about your lives."
Meant to articulate the sometimes funny, mostly harmless, but occasionally painful experience of being a Black face in a vastly white place (i.e. most Hollywood work environments) @DearWhitePeople also served an ulterior motive of mine.
I'd been working for some time on a satire about race identity. The feature script for Dear White People follows the events leading up to a race riot a prestigious predominately white university through the perspectives of four very different Black students. While the script was culled from my own college experiences and those of others I knew, I wanted to test out the voice of my lead character, Sam White, whose radio show "Dear White People" gives the film its title.

This whole bar-fight thing just keeps getting better and better, guys, seriously. New details are emerging about the club brawl that made Chris Brown look like this:
And all signs point to the notion that Chris was the instigator in the feud. Well, all signs that I'm going to interpret as "Chris was the instigator of the feud," because last I checked, Drake doesn't have unresolved temper issues that result in broken female faces and broken windows in dressing rooms, duh.

From TMZ:
Paramedics rushed to Lindsay Lohan early today after she was found non-responsive at a hotel by the ocean in L.A.
Sources tell TMZ ... Lindsay had been shooting almost non-stop -- without sleep -- for 2 days and was staying at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Marina del Rey to get some sleep. She has been shooting parts of her movie near the hotel.
We're told someone became alarmed because they could not wake her up and the person called 911.
Paramedics responded, and determined nothi...
Hm. Cute. Jamie Lynn Spears, unlike her big sister, can kind of sing! And by "kind of," I mean "with the help of heavy, overpowering harmonies" and "low volume." OK now. I'm going to seriously try to put away all snark for a few minutes, because honestly, the song itself is really sweet, and it's definitely a tender moment here, guys. Let's try to recognize, huh?
Ahem. Lyrics, please:
Scared little girl living on a big old world
You’ve outgrown your room
It all happened way too soon
They took away your innocence,
But we’ve still got a strong defense.
If I didn’t get sieved in this,
I’d be lonely.
So whether you’re a blue sky smiling
Or whether you’re a grey sky crying
I look up to you
I look up to you
Whether you’re the sunlight shining down
Or you hide behind a cloud
I look up to you
I look up to you
How do you repay a love song by the grave?
You hold out your hand and send me to sleep
But we won’t let it get the best of us,
We won’t fade away like dirt road dust
Cuz no matter what love still remains
So whether you’re a blue sky smiling
Or whether you’re a grey sky crying
I look up to you
I look up to you
Whether you’re the sunlight shining down
Or you hide behind a cloud
I look up to you
I look up to you
Southern days
Your silly face
In our memories they can’t replace.
No one else can take their place
But you
So whether you’re a blue sky smiling
Or whether you’re a grey sky crying
I look up to you
I look up to you
Whether you’re the sunlight shining down
Or you hide behind a cloud
I look up to you
I look up to you
Scared little girl living in a big old world
That's actually ... it's really sweet, you know. And one can only assume that it's about Britney (because it'd be way too morbid to assume that it's about Jamie Lynn's daughter, Maddie, and it's definitely not about total-f-cking-wacko Mother Spears, because she's just an ass on legs), and if you watched the video, you probably heard her say in the very beginning, "You can imagine who I wrote it about." I think that kind of speaks for itself, doesn't it?
Also, Jamie Lynn here looks and sounds so much like the old Britney we used to know and love so much that it's almost breathtaking. And eerie. Definitely eerie. />

Blue hair? Eh. I don't know. It's cool, but I'm not sure how I feel about it on Rumer Willis here. Yeah, it's loads, loads better than this:
And definitely an improvement upon this:
But I'm still not sure blue is quite her color. If she's going to be all adventurous with her hair and whatever, I'd personally like to see her go bright pink. Britney-Wig Pink. With the bangs and all. Rumer'd end up looking like a modern, chic Cleopatra with those piercing eyes and strong jawline, and I re...

Hey! Look! It's another set of photos from Lindsay Lohan's Liz Taylor biopic! Or rather, I should say, JOKEpic. No. Sorry, that was lame. What can I say. It's Friday morning and the only thing that I'm really processing this morning is Lindsay's bloated-ass face. It's starting to block everything out when it comes to talking about girlfriend, even my ever-present acerbic "wit."
Here are a few more photos of Lindsay on the set of 'Liz & Dick', the movie that's still apparently happening despit...
First of all, can I tell you how I hate when Justin Bieber does something that makes me have to write a post about it? Because it burns me with a radioactive kind of fire inside. I feel it for days, guys. I actually need a recovery period. Justin Bieber is my Kryptonite.
What I can't wait for, however, is the video for this song---it's going to be heinous. Oh wait. No. I can wait, because that happening means that I'm probably going to have to write something about it and DIE for three days afterward. Ugh.
Here are the lyrics:
She says she met me on a tour
She keeps knocking on my door, she won’t leave me
Leave me alone
This girl she wouldn’t stop, almost had to call the cops
She was scheming, ooh, she was wrong
Cause she wanted all my attention
And she was dragging my name through the dirt
She was dying for my affection
But she keep making up and give it to ‘em
I’m talking to you, maria
Why you wanna do me like that?
That ain’t my baby, that ain’t my girl
Maria, why you wanna play me like that?
She ain’t my baby, she ain’t my girl
But she talking in, and she need a squeeze
But never this, all I know she got mine
That ain’t my baby, that ain’t my girl
But she falling out, what she talking about
Let me tell you now that girl she’s not mine
She ain’t my baby, she ain’t my girl
Now she’s in the magazines, on tv, making a scene
Oh she’s crazy, crazy in love
And she’s all over the news, saying everything but the true
She’s faking, faking it all
Cause she wanted all my attention
And she was getting my name through the dirt
She was dying for my affection
But she keep making up and give it to ‘em
I’m talking to you, maria
Why you wanna do me like that?
That ain’t my baby, that ain’t my girl
Maria, why you wanna play me like that?
She ain’t my baby, she ain’t my girl
But she talking in, and she need a squeeze
But never this, all I know she got mine
That ain’t my baby, that ain’t my girl
But she falling out, what she talking about
Let me tell you now that girl she’s not mine
She ain’t my baby, she ain’t my girl
Why are you trying, trying to lie girl
When I never met you
Saying goodbye, but how could ya
You throw this, you throw this
Your foolness, seduces
Maria why you wanna do me like that? ...
Also, I'm assuming this is the song that Justin Bieber talked about as the next 'Billie Jean'. And I guess in a sense, yes. He did write the 'next Billie Jean'. But only because it's almost completely identical in phrasing, content, and concept as Michael Jackson's 'Billie Jean'. Way to go, Justin. This must have been really, really hard.
Last, you win, Mariah Yeater. You completely f-cking win, and you KNOW IT, girl. />

C---People think she's way crazy all over again and winter boots in mid-June do no part in deterring people from thinking that she's way crazy all over again
The correct answer is C. Well, it's B, too, but it's mostly C.

The above video was taken at last night's Rome tour stop. Where, instead of flashing her nipples, Madonna flashed her ass. What's next? A vadge shot? Are we really going to see Madge's Vadge again after all these years? What, does she wax, now, and is all proud of it so she's gotta show it off? Is this what we're dealing with? Juvenile antics from a fifty-three year-old woman? Call me crazy, but maybe she's been spending too much time with her twenty-four year-old boyfriend. Maybe he's inspiring her to act like she's on 'Girls Gone Wild: Spring Break '01'. But even most twenty-four year-olds on Spring Break would know better.
Also, is that a for-real tattoo on Madonna's back? Because NO! FEAR! is a really dumb-ass tattoo to have in a zillion-point font across your thoracic spine. The term "no fear" stopped being cool when I was a freshman in high school and the last of the t-shirts died out as mainstream and were used strictly as gym attire. Thought you knew, Madge />
