OK NOW TO THE BITZ THIS WEEK
Fox Sports personality Erin Andrews is now the poster
person for Internet video stalking. She was given $55 million
of the $70 plus million she was suing for that both the
Marriott International Hotel and her stalker must split
for her mental suffering when an Internet video was posted
of her nude in the bathroom in 2009.
person for Internet video stalking. She was given $55 million
of the $70 plus million she was suing for that both the
Marriott International Hotel and her stalker must split
for her mental suffering when an Internet video was posted
of her nude in the bathroom in 2009.
But the question is, will she get that much? We doubt it. It's evident that the stalker doesnt half half of 55 million and the hotel will likely will appeal its half because the hotel was an unknowing accomplice to the crime. So, lets just say she gets 28 million from the hotel, after taxes is 14 million and then paying court and lawyer fees, she could end up with 7 million.
Although she will likely get something from it, she will forever be scarred from the ordeal. She has said that she always get her room moved that she pre-reserves since the viral video. In the day and age of privacy laws and the Internet, the Andrews case will set a precedence in regards to how public establishments will change its policies in regards to protecting people's rights when it comes o their privacy.
We know one thing, Andrews will be given even more endorsements and hosting opportunities from this. We wouldnt be surprised.
Saturday Night Live cast member and writer Leslie Jones
was clapping back to Twitterers who went in on her character
in the upcoming all female reincarnation of the Ghostbusters
movie. Fans were disappointed that Jones was the only
ghost buster character from her white counterparts (Melissa
McCarthy, Kristen Wiig and Kate McKinnon). She was more
of the blue collar street smart character. Well, Jones, got
loud on Twitter basically saying for people to back off and
that its just a job and long as she has a part in the movie,
thats all that matters.

Well, here's the thing--its hard for Hollywood to break
stereotypes of what type of roles people of color are cast in--
mainly the slick talking sidekick to their white counterparts. In
the original Ghostbusters Ernie Husdon, who was playing
the black Ghostbuster wasnt of equal status with Bill Murray
, Dan Aykroyd and the late Harold Ramis. Also, Jones'
image is of the loud, no nonsense and street, and it is
incorporated in her role in Ghostbusters. Jones is just getting
into mainstream and from her P,O,V. she is not going to
ruffle feathers with Hollywood so her response to the
negative responses from the Ghostbusters trailer is a knee-
jerk reaction to her opportunity. We dont think its a big deal
, but with the heavy attention involving how people of color
our represented or not represented, has made Jones part of
the issue.

A picture that actor Michael B Jones and Creed Director
Ryan Coogler that was taken and posted in a recent Vanity
Fair profile caused some controversy regarding how the two
guys come off in a bromantic pose with Jones holding
Coogler's head toward his chest.

From an insecure heterosexual's point of view, it could come
across as a gay pose, but from a secure human point of
view, it comes across as brotherly affection.
But the question is, does the picture
come across as gay? We think it doesn't. Gay would be if
they were kissing each other. It's the same hand grip that
athletes do when they make a home run, or a touchdown or
make the winning basket in basketball. That's acceptable
because its in the environment of a masculine act--playing
sports. And let's not forget when football players pat each
other on the butt after a good play. So that's not gay?

Here's the thing--the picture is showing brotherly love not
sexual love. Masculinity is always challenged when the rules
change as far as what is masculine and what isn't, and black
masculinity is even more scrutinized and hypermasculinized
especially with the imagery that's popularly imaged including
athletes and rappers.

We congratulate the two men for expressing their affinity
toward each other in a tasteful and prideful manner.

singers Tank and Ginuwine teasing former TGT member
Tyrese's skin color? All this stemmed from Tyrese saying
No to staying with the group for not going for splitting the salaries equally.

Tank told TMZ, “Tyrese still doesn’t wanna split the money equally, so we’re done.”
In response, Tyrese posted a meme to Instagram that read, “Guess who ain’t gotta explain s**t to nobody.” He offered to set up a playdate between his daughter and Tank’s in the caption as well.
He later posted a video to Instagram throwing subtle shade at Genuine and Tank.
“I drove here in the #Wraith playin AR-AB Im not really sure what I did to make y’all mad I guess this is what I gotta do to make y’all sell I mean whooooaaaaaa,” Tyrese wrote.
Then Tank and Ginuwine took to Instagram asking where was Tyrese then both cracked a joke that they couldnt see him because he was so dark.
This type of back and forth is like a black man's version of Mean Girls. And think about it....of the three, who has the most star power? Well, besides from Tyrese's movie career, we would say Tyrese, but as far as music wise, Tyrese had the best year with his No. 1 album Black Rose and his Grammy nominated singe "Shame" being No.1 on the Adult R&B charts for 15 weeks. Is it ego? Definitely. And we are sure Tank and Ginuwine knew how Tyrese is when they formed the group. As far as the group, its a great idea, but with many supergroups, that's why many only last a project because of the ego clashes. But the dark skin jokes we thought was very catty and unnecessary.
On March 11, Grammy Award winning duo KC and Jjo of Jodeci will perform.
