Thank you.

Um . . . I don't seem to recall denying anything. I believe your words were "I'm not even sure it's used as a slur much anymore," to which, I replied, "Nah, it's still a slur" and proceeded to explain why. Now, I don't know if you're black(I don't want to make any assumptions), but there's a reason why this show,…

Nah, it's still used as a slur. It's like the term "bitch," which can be innocuous, endearing, or insulting, depending upon the context and the gender of the term's user. So, for example, someone brought up Fox News' use of term when referring to Michelle Obama. Because that term originated among black people of a…

"To me, 'baby's mama' is a slur. It's denying the humanity of a child's existence."

OK, that was funny.

"The waiter's only real mistake was not changing it back to the table number."

There's an old saying for women . . . " 'Handsome' to bed, 'homely' to wed." I don't think there's a similar saying for for men.

Oh, you again. I see you have some more nonsense for me to dispel. All pop stars have PR and marketing teams. Why would Rihanna be any different? If a good marketing and PR team were all it took, then the likes of Rita Ora, Cassie, Ciara, and others would be on Rihanna’s level. Rihanna’s always shared management…

She wasn't drastically different from R&B songstresses until GGGB because she wasn't marketed as a full on "pop star" until that album, which coincidentally was around the time R&B started to wane and Euro inflected electro-pop started taking over. Rihanna's always has a knack for being on trend musically. This is…

Who's to say that they didn't know about birth control and contraception? When was the last time you watched one of those "16 and Pregnant" episodes where the pregnant girl blamed her situation on being ignorant about sex ed? The examples I can list would be anecdotal, but as someone who's supporting a young mother…

ITA. This admonishing of parents about allowing babies to cry is pretty unnecessary to boot, because I would wager that most people already tend to crying babies if for no other reason than to get them to shut up. So, it’s not like parents need to be told to respond to their crying infants, because 8/9 times out of…

So you say you don’t get it. OK. I don’t know if you’re aware, but Rihanna became ubiquitous after the release of her third album, Good Girl Gone Bad. That was when she became a global star and fixture in the gossip columns, but prior to that, in terms of US sales, she had a gold debut album, a platinum sophomore…

Billboard has made rule changes recently, and several of the changes have suspiciously coincided with certain controversies surrounding top pop acts. For example, Billboard changed the rules regarding how much an album can be discounted and still included in the sales tally for their BB top 200 list in response to…

That Rihanna Reign Just Won’t Let Up . . .

Yes, I agree. I'm more intrigued by her face (Spooky!) than any enhancements she may or may not have had to anything below it. Perhaps that's what she meant when she said had no surgery to achieve her look.

Ke$ha's fab! It takes a certain je ne sais quois to pull off what she did, which was establish her own pop brand in this post Gaga world. I didn't like her last video, because she was trying way too hard with the illuminati symbolism and overt sexuality, but I liked her recent performance at the AMA's, and despite…

Abby Cadabby is the lamest character on SS! "Abby's Flying Fairy School" blows.

. . . or maybe he feels that the iron is hot, given the publicity over the first accuser that recanted.
