The sad part about this is that he showed a bit of potential as a tween/teen actor back in the 90s in The Sinbad Show and Once Upon a Time When We Were Colored, but he threw away whatever progress he could've made to be what L'il Kim immortalized in song - "Wait a minute, ain't that Brandy's brother?"

I share that hate of her for the very same reasons that you've stated, though I'll add that the overhype of her sealed the deal for me. Like you, I will be pleased when her 15 minutes are up.

Or the way he treated Nivea (otherwise known as his first wife and the singer that he mooched off of before dumping her when he made it big).

Very well said, as I share your sentiments about being anti-plastic surgery (especially among women of color) as well.

My point is that I don't think that she's any worse than the other three on that panel.

Because that would actually force some to recognize that they were wrong for putting her on the "kickass" and "brave" pedestal that they place her on in the first place.

The same place where a lot of these Ike Brown hating hypocrites were - off scrambling to make excuses for their horrible behavior.

Isn't it?

You'd think they'd stop wasting their breath after the first time she landed on the Worst Dressed List way back, but they never learn that the only things that Christina care about is making music, maintaining her success, and living off the fruits of her labor.

I do, too. People stay upset while she keeps on singing her heart out and collecting those checks.

I don't think that she's any worse than the rest of the folks on the panel past and present (barring Meredith and Lisa).

Oh, I expect it from Joy just as much as I do from Babs.

I was more of an Electric Love/Sex For Breakfast/Glam/Bionic kind of lady.

I find it more predictable than sad, actually.

I see Google has alerted the Besus Children of America to descend upon you.

Sounds to me that this was Babs & Co. (barring Sherri and Whoopi)'s attempt to put Uppity Negress Star in her place one last time.

Well, I must be a bad XTina stan because I can't even work up any outrage as it is clear to me that she could give two fucks about any of this.

The white New York that exists in some uncharted universe that neither of us has heard of or seen.

That's funny because at least Chris Brown has a modicum of (dancing) talent (no matter how derivative), while Rihanna has none whatsoever (and no, looking cute in couture is not a talent).

1. The days of Usher making a real R&B album are over. As you can hear, a singer only has two choices - be relegated to the 'adult contemporary R&B' pile like JHud or be Guetta-ized to remain relevant with fickle teenyboppers.
