Bill Cosby is Still Calling Out Black People

If you thought Bill Cosby had said all that he could about the state of the African American community, then you thought wrong.  This past weekend during the 2010 Essence Music Festival Bill spoke his mind once again on what he thinks needs to change in our community.  Peep some of the things he said below.

“We’ve got to lay it out for them,” Cosby said when asked about how to help cut the rate of teen pregnancies in America. “Let’s tell them about life. You’re 14 and having sex. OK. So, what kind of job do you have?”

“We need to start getting into people’s business. We need to say, ‘Hey, I’m your cousin man, I’m your brother, I’m your sister and I don’t care if you don’t talk to me anymore but your teenage daughter ain’t got no business dressing like that!’ Tell them.”

“How long do we wait? When are you going to wake up? We can’t keep blaming people and expecting people to fix it. This has to stop.”

Now I may not agree with all of his beliefs but I must say there is definitely some truth in what he is saying.

Rihanna Hits the Stage

 

During the Noxia X6 launch party last night Rihanna performed solo for the first time since all that ISH went down between her and Chris Brown.  She performed singles from her upcoming CD “Rated R” and some of her past hits.  I guess it’s official the world is no longer free from her garbage that she calls music.  Oops did I say that. LoL

Is Rihanna Taking Responsibility for her Own Actions?

In the midst of Rihanna finally opening up about Chris Brown abusing her, some people feel that she also needs to admit her wrongdoing in the situation.  The National Coalition for Men has stated that they support Chris Brown, and that they now want Rihanna to take responsibility for her reported violence against Chris.

Pop singer Rihanna recently made a widely publicized statement to Glamour Magazine that she wants to "shed light on the reality of domestic violence." The National Coalition For Men (NCFM) calls on Rihanna to discuss her own reported violence against Brown as well if she wants to shed light on the problem honestly.

According to court records and other sources, Rihanna struck Brown in the face "numerous times" before Brown assaulted her ('http://news.ninemsn.com.au/entertainment/768865/rihanna-hit-chris-brow...). NCFM purports although that would not justify his more severe assault, her violence should not be ignored, and if she does not "woman up" to it then her message will be the usual one-sided double standards that leave female perpetration covered up.

The saying, "There is no excuse for domestic violence," applies to both sexes. Female violence in relationships is not rare but is often hypocritically deemed acceptable or humorous, such as in the film, Sideways. It is part of the cycle of domestic violence, which cannot be stopped without addressing the problem honestly. Children are damaged just by witnessing domestic violence, regardless of its severity.

Yesterday "Entertainment Tonight" aired the trailer for Tyler Perry’s movie Why Did Get Married Too, and I must say that this one seems like it may be just as good or better than the first one.  It also seemed that this movie will be a little bit more dramatic than the first one.  The movie is set to be released in April 2010, click here to watch the trailer.

Student Gets in Trouble for Dressing Up as Aunt Jemima

By Danielle Canada

A student at a Long Island high school was sent home Friday after showing up to school dressed like Aunt Jemima and toting around a syrup bottle asking, “You want some pancakes?”

Commack High School senior, 17-year-old Dean Jeziorkowski, donned a wig, bandanna, and makeup for the costume. School officials ordered the boy to wash off the makeup and when he refused he was sent home.

His classmate, 16-year-old Danny Cuevas, defended his friend saying,

“I don't think it's that racist. At one point in time, that might have been seen as racist but not now.”

Jeziorkowski's family has yet to comment.

Oh okay I get it now. It's not that racist…just a little bit. So that makes it okay, right?

Solange Parts Ways with Interscope Records

A few months back there were rumors swirling around that Solange had been dropped from Interscope Records, but now it seems that the rumors have actually came true.  Solange announced via Twitter ,like every other celeb, that she is no longer a part of Interscope.  Read what she had to say below.

“Although it’s been a wonderful journey & experience at Interscope Records, after truly recognizing what’s important to me as an artist I decided it was time for me to continue my path on a  more independent platform.”

Charlamagne Gets Fired!

Radio personality Charlamagne announced today via Twitter that he has been fired from 100.3 The Beat in Philadelphia.  According to his Twitter page the radio station is looking “to move in a different direction”, which seems like a BS reason.  Rumor has it that he may have been fired due to the interview that he had last week with Beanie Sigel where some unpleasant things were said about Jay-Z. If so I guess Jay-Z is a lot more powerful than I thought.

Tyra Banks Causes Controversy Over Black Face

Tyra Banks is always trying to do something over the top on her show America’s Next Top Model, especially now since the ratings are low.  On the most recent episode of the show Tyra painted the girls so that they would appear biracial, and some people were not to happy about it.  This episode comes only a few weeks after French Vogue was criticized for painting model Lara Stone in black face for the October issue.  Personally, I don’t find either of these displays of black face offensive considering they are not mocking biracial and African American people in a negative way.  Also if I recall correctly this is not the first time Tyra has done this on the show, but I could be wrong.

What’s Really Going on in the Industry?

For the past few months I have been hearing a lot of talk about several of the top industry people being involved in a secret society or boule where they have to “sell their souls” to be excepted.  Now I don’t know how true or untrue this secret society stuff is, but I do find it strange that some celebs have recently been exposing the industry claiming there are several people in the industry that are devil worshipers.  Last week Tiffany Evans went in on the industry after hearing Rhianna’s new single “Russian Roulette” stating,

“Man! I really wish I could tell you guys what the industry really is and what stars are apart of destroying this world. The stars who worship satan,and those who have killed to get the respect they have now. You’d be verrrry surprise. Some of your favorite people pretend to worship God but they only do that to save face. Or seem innocent.”

Now this week Omarion is basically saying the same thing.

“…[and] it really made me think that there is a [time as an artist] where there’s going to be a choice. The[entertainment] world [dictates] that you have to be with three or four women, or do this in order to get that [and] I think it’s really interesting. With God and the industry, it’s really dark. The dark side is having to get in, there’s a certain submission you need to have. Just like a gang [initiation], so to speak. You might have to do something against your moral code. I’m not saying that it’s always this way, but when you’re someone that is young and you’re coming up in the industry and you really don’t have a grip on your morals it can be very dark. The game is just about over saturation.”

Wow, I wonder if anyone will come out denying these rumors about the industry?
