Tracey Morgan: "Welcome to Post-Racial America!"

Tracy Morgan put on quite the show last night at The Golden Globes. When the show he co-stars in, "30 Rock," won for Best Television Series Comedy or Musical this dude actually got up on stage and gave an impromptu acceptance speech on behalf of the show, citing that he is the "face of post-racial America." Apparently he had a bet going on with Tina Fey that if Obama won, he'd be the spokesperson for the show from now on. Go head Tracey!

Beyonce Bodies Some Stalkerish White Chick in "Obsessed"

I had to laugh at "Obsessed," coming to a theater near you in spring 09! Beyonce stars in her first "non-singing role." I didn't think that existed for her either. I feel like if I have to see her onscreen I'd rather see her crooning. But, hey that's just me. Some of ya'll might get a kick out of seeing her fight some psychotic white chick who is stalking her husband, played by the sexy Idris Elba. Why this isn't going straight to video is beyond me? Check it out here for yourself!

He's Homeless. He's Schizo. He's a Violinist. He's Jamie Foxx in "The Soloist!"

A couple of weeks ago I was in the movie theater and peeped the trailer for Jamie Foxx's new flick, "The Soloist" that has been generating Oscar buzz. After a string of terrible movies, "Miami Vice," "Kingdom Come," "Jarhead," and oh, gawd..."Stealth," Jamie hasn't wowed me lately, although his performance in "Dreamgirls" was decent.

Will he win another Oscar with this one costarring alongside my favorite dude, Robert Downey Jr.?

Hmmm....I guess it remains to be seen.

All I know is that when I first watched this trailer I couldn't take it all that seriously. Jamie plays a schizophrenic homeless man who just so happens to be an uber-talented violinist. Robert Downey Jr. plays the journalist who discovers him and thrusts him into the spotlight.

"Being his friend will carry you home," Downey says in the film which is sure to be a sappy tagline once the movie hits theaters in November.

Viola! There's the formula.

It kind of reminds me of those movies that are marketed to be serious, heart-warming, inspiring, and offer stunning performances from big name actors, but fall flat plot-wise and fade into our not even distant memories because it's just too melodramatic. Oh yeah, these films are also often "based on a true story."

Remember Cuba Gooding Jr. in "Radio?"

Catastrophe!

I don't even remember all that much about it or if I even watched it till the end. I just know I haven't seen that brotha since.

I do like Jamie Foxx so maybe this will play out differently for him.

Finally Wesley Snipes Can Pay His Bills

Word on the street is that Spike Lee is gunning for Wesley Snipes to reprise his role in Blade 4 star as James Brown in Lee's as of yet untitled biopic about the legendary singer.

The movie is far from being made, but if Lee gets a chance to direct it he will wait until Snipes is finished serving his three year stint in prison for tax evasion.

Lee originally cast Snipes in his latest film, "Miracle at St. Anna," but the role was given to Derek Luke once Snipes was bodied for trying to fool Uncle Sam.

Lee told King Magazine,

“He’s a phenomenal actor, and I truly feel that he’ll regain that power he once had. If my James Brown picture ever gets made, he’ll be playing James - and he’d kill in that, without a doubt. He still has chops.”

Big ups to Lee for still believing in Snipes'...ahem..."ability."

I for one threw him to the wolves a long time ago as a lost cause with the hopes that a Blade 4 would never come to fruition.

But I won't hate on a comeback role for this guy. Afterall, he's got BILLS to pay!

Matt Damon, "I Feel Your Pain!"

Matt Damon knows what's good and what's not--Sarah Palin.

He likens the Sarah Palin phenomenon to "a really bad Disney movie."

Chuckles ; )

Note to Paps: Don't Fuck With Ye!

Kanye West was arrested at LAX earlier this morning on suspicion of vandalism, after getting into a fight with a photographer. From this footage it looks like Ye (in gray) and his bodyguard (in red) were trying to enter a security checkpoint and the photographer got a little too close.

It's hard to tell from this short footage exactly how all this went down. But, I speculate that the photographer was probably trying to snap some photos or get an interview. I wouldn't even be surprised if he said some crazy shit to Ye, provoking him. Anyway, when all was said and done, Ye and his bodyguard destroyed the photographer's camera--reportedly worth $10,000.

It's true that when you're in the public eye, the paparazzi is just some shit you gotta deal with from time to time. But, sometimes the paps just go too far and I guess Ye had to body em' this time around.

Sometimes Negroes

Have you ever had a moment where everything just sunk in instantly and you knew that you were dealing with a "sometimes negro?" Count yourself lucky if you haven't had the "pleasure" of encountering a sometimes negro.

What exactly are sometimes negroes?

They're people in your life who are there, but barely. They're unreliable and unavailable people, who at the end of the day are only concerned with self. At first glance, they appear to be concerned about your overall well being and the things that are important to you.

But, over time they begin to show their asses.

Maybe you ask them for a favor and they'll promise results. But at the end of the day they'll present you with cup that's half empty like it's an afterthought. Or maybe they're only concerned about you when it's convenient for them. And if your sometimes negro is in trouble, he or she will look to you for guidance. On the flip side, when you're in a pickle you can't even get them to lend you an ear. You see, sometimes negroes love a good listener, despite being subpar listeners themselves.

So you listen and the more and more you observe, you realize what their agenda truly is and that it never included you from day one.

From what I've seen of sometimes negroes. There's only really two options.

The first:

Cut them off altogether. Fuck em'! Who really needs them anyway?

The second (and more fun one!):

Recognize the ball sometimes negroes pitch and play along. Because at the end of the day, it's amusing to watch sometimes negroes think they're calling all the shots.

"If I Never See Your Face Again, I Don't Mind"

Some people just don't know when to go away. It's funny because I feel like if 80 percent (just a random number I'm throwing out) of the population believed I was guilty of murder, and yet I was miraculously found not guilty (how did that happen? oh, that's right! Johnny C., he was the man, God rest his soul!) I'd count my lucky stars and fade into oblivion.

I guess O.J. had other plans.

The infamous former NFL player has gotten caught up yet again. This time, he's accused of robbing two sports collectibles dealers at a Las Vegas hotel last year. Allegedly, he and five of his boys walked into a Las Vegas casino hotel room in September of last year with guns in tow in a ridiculous attempt to retrieve sports memorabilia, Simpson claims the dealers stole from him. Simpson insists he had no idea the other men he was with were armed. He and one of the other men involved have both plead not guilty to a total of 12 charges which include, kidnapping, armed robbery, conspiracy, and assault with a deadly weapon.

The other four men who accompanied Simpson pleaded to lesser felony charges and agreed to testify for the prosecution. Guess they weren't O.J.'s homies afterall! Or maybe, just maybe, they have some damn sense and don't think they can get away with murder. Excuse, me I meant armed robbery.

Anyway, the jury selection for the upcoming trial began yesterday. If he's convicted of the crime he will face a mandatory jail sentence. But, O.J. was all smiles, waving to a bystander outside of the courthouse who wished him "good luck." Afterall, O.J.'s been around the trial block before.







Honestly, I'm not one to wish jail upon anyone, but if O.J. gets got for this (as he should on the basis of pure stupidity alone), I really can't say I'd be heartbroken. And I say this because he's clearly someone who may need to be locked up in order to shy away from the spotlight. I mean, this was a dude who years after being found not guilty of murdering his wife put out a book, "If I Did It," chronicling how he would have "hypothetically" gotten away with committing murder.
