Judging Rihanna for supposedly not knowing that keeping "exotic monkeys" as pets is "stupid, ignorant" because she doesn't have any pet monkeys. Any animal in a country other than your own would be considered exotic. For all she knew, it wasn't unusual to see someone with a pet monkey in the district she was…
They didn't connect the dots between "I'm Out's" water scenes and "Umbrella's." That said, it's not like Rih invented that gimmick. I'm a big Rihanna stan, and I didn't find anything "wannabe" about the video. I thought it was good.
Well, I don't know. I think I would have rather not seen any women of color in this video. It's degrading. Black women are degraded in hip-hop and r&b videos with such frequency that I wouldn't have been upset if the lone token had sat this one out.
Except, it's most likely not true, seeing as that she's actually adding dates to the tour and on the heels of a 100M+ gross.
welp, wrong thread
There's truth in what "demolitionwoman" is saying. When it comes to casting black kids, (girls especially) in ads and film/television, children who either are or look bi-racial or mixed race are ubiquitous and often preferred. A common trend in tv/film is casting bi-mixed race children as the progeny of black tv…
Have you forgotten Ke$ha?
Ooh, I just read the two other posts that you gave me. I wouldn't have even bothered chiming in if I knew that I was talking to a brick wall
Yeah, I read this comment on your page and noticed that it was deleted from the comment thread you posted it under to that "Myrna Minkoff" character. I'm not surprised that she deleted it. Your logic was probably too sound for her taste. She's pretty much tone deaf when it comes to issues of race or Rihanna. Let…
Well, you know, she hasn't slept with anyone's husband, made a sex tape, or acted a fool on a reality show. So, that's strike one. Then, there's the issue of her massive concert tour receipts, critical acclaim, six platinum albums, 12 or 13 #1 singles, and the fact that she's a radio staple, which makes it hard for…
I just wonder where all the articles are pressuring men about marriage. I have yet to read the Princeton mom's article, but is she goading her sons into marrying young?
Yes, I agree. She would probably get more coverage and love on this site if she was a drunken lush/drug addict that was in and out of rehab, or had a sex tape, several failed marriages, a tacky reality show, and zero talent. Hayden doesn't check off any of those boxes and yet is somehow successful and talented; so I…
"They're dressing up for the Kids' Choice Awards as characters from PG-13 movie with nudity and a comedy rape scene that's only currently available on DVD or Blu-ray or Netflix in an unrated version that contains elements that were cut to get down to the PG-13 in the first place."
She looks great! That was a great costume choice for the KCA's!
Maybe she was buying it in bulk like from Oriental Trading Catalog or something :)
I understand the point you're making. Oh, and I see, you've already got a comment about how stripping and various forms of sex work empower women, sprinkled with some "every choice a woman makes is feminist as long as it's a woman making that choice" rhetoric. Nice!
I didn't grow up doing half the stuff I do with these kids I'm raising. All my single mother did was read to me, teach me how to write my name, go over the alphabet and numbers, had me watch PBS and I was prepared for kindergarten. I don't disagree that there's a need for Head Start for day care purposes, but I'm…
No developed our own, and even if you were being judgy, I don't mind. I've read up significantly on this issue ever since I became a legal guardian. My initial reaction was, "OMG, I gotta find a fancy pre-school or these kids are gonna turn out like their mother," but then the more I read about it . . . the more it…
