"She had no idea that she was walking into the political lion's den."

Did that house negro really call her uppity?

I kind of wonder how some people can (rightly) vilify Clarence Thomas and support Anita Hill whilst simultaneously loving Bill Clinton and demonizing the women who came forward about his "alleged" abuses.

And Batshit crazy to boot. I've known a few women like that in my life. They disgust me.

I was barely alive when this all went down but I had heard of the infamous pubes on the Coke story. I read the wiki summary and what infuriates me most is that the whole thing basically came down to "You can't prove it, so buzz off. No one's making me look like a racist for (rightfully) going after a black man."

Oh God. I'll be going to see it, but it's going to make me rage. Remember when Thomas' wife drunkdialed Hill a couple years back and told Hill to apologize to Clarence? Wooooo.

This was one of the earliest incidents that set me on the road to being the womanist that I am today. To say that we are forever in debt to Professor Hill for the fuckery that she soldiered through without wavering an inch is an understatement.

This woman is a freaking hero. She was thrown to the lions, and left to fend for herself. And that piece of crap asshole has not only never paid for it, but has been allowed to screw with the nation since. It's going to give me a rage stroke.

Right? I just imagine him giving me a teddy bear and then doing little strip tease to Partition.

First Chris Messina dances to Aaliyah and now this...someone is stealing my dreams and making them come true!

There's sort of an explanation at about 3:15. He thanks his fans for making Riddick number one. And then he talks about the Grammys. And then's the time on Sprockets when he dances.

I love Vin Diesel. He's seriously amazing. I tend to really like celebrities both for their abilities, and what I hear about their "behind the scenes" attitudes. I hear tale the Vin is seriously a nice guy. He treats the crew like his best buds, stops for autographs going to and from sets, hugs people at random,…

At first this made me super, second-hand embarrassed uncomfortable, but then he paused the music to say he was just dancing because he was so happy that Riddick was #1 in DVD sales. AWWW!!! Now I have more of a crush on him than that second where I thought he and the Rock were going to start making out in Fast 5.

This is so awkward and adorable at the same time. I keep trying to avoid eye contact with him...

I don't understand what's happening... It's like he likes me... But he's not really committed to showing me ALL the goods. This is a very awkward moment at the club.

She was at a white house function in 1968 when she allegedly made president johnson's wife cry when she denounced the war and said that they were sending off our best and brightest to die and that is why rebel and do drugs. She saw a drastic decline in the work that she was given after that and credits it with slowing…

I can fully understand wanting your private life to be private as possible. Queen Latifah is not a paparazzi chaser. I wish more stars would make their lives private as possible. She is not obliged to be your think piece, your icon or your role model. It is her life, not a public spectacle.

"Elsewhere, little girls of color, who don't want to tell people that they like girls because they don't want to be bullied like Janis Ian from Mean Girls, will have a freshly minted example of a gay black woman who has a great relationship with her family and a successful career, not to mention a pioneering place in…

No. No. Sorry Jezebel, but no: Queen Latifah has the right to disclose and express her sexuality as she feels comfortable. To call one image of her hugging a woman affectionately proof of an "open secret" is just rude, her sexuality may be more fluid than others, and might not be just "gay" or "straight" as determined…

In CA, you can get a "minister for a day" license (it's called something more official-sounding) that gives you "the power vested in me by the state of California" to pronounce people married.
