Rihanna's new video What Now has been released and its, well...its something. Rihanna has been known to be controversial in her music, style and videos. But this video, this one is something to think about. In the video Rihanna is depicted in two ways a grayish white dress in a white room and in a completely black room with a black dress. Makeup (nails, face, etc) matches the attire and color of each room.

What I get from the video is that she's in a mental stage where she's being split into two. A constant asking of the question What Now would suggest that she's tired of being pulled into different directions and she just can't take it anymore. So much so that she's being split into two forms of herself, literally split into a white side and a dark side. It also appears to be a mental battle from within for Rihanna. Like she's possessed trying to break free of her mental cage. In between these glimpses of Rihanna's struggle are subliminal images of bugs, explosions, and other things that probably mean more to the director and Rihanna than we would know or care to understand. For me its a little scary but at least she's not half naked and twerking. Rihanna has tendency to be dark at times,  R was a testament to that so I expected nothing less on this track and video. So as I said before when I commented on a YouTubers video about it: Its a little scary but if thats what she wants I'm good. I definitely won't be watching it again though.

Judge for yourself here's the video below!

Shane Dawson is arguably one of (if not) the most famous YouTube celebrity in the world. Currently he's running 3 channels with over 9 million subscribers. Shane definitely has a gift that people flock to see.

NBC has green lit a single camera comedy series based on Shane Dawson's real life. Its called Losin' It. The comedy will be set in a weight loss center, centered around its most successful client. When the client decides to become a consultant at the clinic that helped him lose weight chaos ensues, he's promoted to manager by the end of his first day!

The story will be written by Darlene Hunt, Shane Dawson, and Shane's producing partner Lauren Schnipper. Dawson, Hunt, Richie Schwartz, and Gluck will executive produce, with Schnipper producing. The storyline is direct from Shane himself. He once worked at a weight loss company called Jenny Craig along with his mother and brother in 2008, around the time his very first YouTube Channel began. Shortly after Shane uploaded a video of pole-dancing in the office that starred his mother, brother, himself and several other employees. Once it was out for the world to see Shane and all his accomplices were fired. But it was obviously a blessing in disguise because Shane is getting his own show! As comedic as this show will be the topic is also very personal to Shane. Having a rough childhood suffered from domestic abuse and bullying. Shane worked hard and lost 150 lbs! His new found confidence and strength pushed him to make moves in the YouTube community and create one of the most successful YouTube channels EVER!

Great for Shane Dawson! I personally have never watched his channel but I know who he is. He's one of the most famous YouTubers of all time. Apparently talented, funny, and now about to be a TV star. So congrats on all your success. Enjoy!

Since I've never seen his channel I'm going to post a playlist of some of his videos below:



Update: I've watched some of them and their pretty funny! So can't wait to see your show Shane! Again Congrats!

Mark Wahlberg has a movie coming out on December 27th called Lone Survivor. It tells the TRUE story of a small 10 man Navy SEALS team and “Operation Red Wing”, the failed 2005 mission in which they were sent into Afghanistan on an impossible mission to capture or kill a high Taliban operative one of Osama Bin Laden's close men. Things go awry when the small band is ambushed by overwhelming enemy forces. Rumor has it that this film is Academy Award worthy (Like Zero Dark Thirty, The Hurt Locker, Jarhead, etc). 

For actors to sit there and talk about ‘oh I went to SEAL training’? I don’t give a f-ck what you did. You don't do what these guys did. For somebody to sit there and say my job was as difficult as being in the military? How f-cking dare you, while you sit in a makeup chair for two hours.

I am a HUGE fan of Zane's novels and I love love LOVE this book! I'm so glad that its being turned into a movie. The movie is set for release on March 14, 2014. I CAN'T WAIT!

Single Ladies is like the scripted version of all the reality shows we love: The Real Housewives Franchise and Real Housewives of Atlanta. Sex, Lies, Money, Crime and everything you love in a juicy, sexy, drama.

And in this season you're going to see some nice little additions like LeToya Luckett as Felicia Price a hardcore no nonsense record executive. Damien Dante Wayans as David Berenger a smooth talking manager in Felicia Price's company and Lesley Ann-Brandt as a clever gold-digger named Naomi Cox. Plus the original cast all their normal shenanigans. It seems to be shaping to up to be a pretty HOT season!

Enjoy the Trailer and Look out for Single Ladies in January on Vh1!

I've always been a fan of the Real Housewives of Atlanta. I've watched it from Season 1 on down. But I have to admit my fill of reality tv was at its highest level so I stopped watching it for awhile. But I was always updated by family and of course Bloggers! This trailer is giving EVERYTHING! Drama, suspense, friendship, pain, love, just serving HUNTI (in my RuPaul Voice!).



I'm so watching THIS MAN! KEEPING IT ALL THE 100!!!!!

I can't say anything is just watch the video:



I wasn't a fan of Love and Hip Hop NY. But I am DEFINITELY WATCHING THIS!!!!!! With this new cast it just looks like a bunch of MESS.

Love and Hip Hop NY premieres October 28 9/8c

Hollywood Exes will be expanding its franchise to the Reality TV CITY of the WORLD...Atlanta!!!!


Just about every show that is based in ATL sets record ratings! The Real Housewives of Atlanta #1 Housewife franchise on Bravo. Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta #1 Reality Show on Vh1 and just the #1 Reality Show! It would only seem smart to make Hollywood Exes: ATL. When I heard about this I wanted to know who would they ask to join the show? Well here's the cast of Hollywood Exes Atlanta via StraightFromtheA:

Sheree Buchanan (Ex-wife of former Falcons player Ray Buchanan), Christina Johnson (Ex Wife of Cee-Lo Green), Tameka Foster Raymond (Ex-Wife of Usher Raymond), Kim Elba (Ex-wife of Idris Elba), Monica Ambrose (ex-wife of Ashley Ambrose, a former NFL baller who played for several teams including the Atlanta Falcons), Monyetta Shaw (Ex Fiance’ of Ne-Yo) and Torrei Hart (ex-wife of Kevin Hart). *And one that is also rumored to be on the show Pilar Sanders (ex-wife of Deion Sanders).

These women are the women of the Hollywood Exes: Atlanta and I really want to watch that show. The original show I do not care for. Not because of the women, just it doesn't peak my interest. I'll admit I watched or tried to watch it in the beginning because I was really interested in R. Kelly's ex-wife Andrea. I really wanted to know her story and how she was making it through. But I got the story and I just stopped watching. Actually I forgot it was on TV which is sad but it is what it is.

Now that this show is coming out soon I really want to watch it. I'm interested in Torrei Hart's story as well as (everybody's interest) Tameka Raymond, Monyetta Shaw, and Kim Elba. *Side Bar: If Pilar Sanders joins the cast I'm DEFINITELY watching it! I don't know anything about the other women on the show but I am willing to get to know them. Not sure when the show is set to debut but I can't wait and I WILL BE WATCHING *in my Wendy Williams voice LOL.

Check out the video below of Torrei Hart and Tameka Foster Raymond talking about the upcoming show!

Rihanna is constantly on the controversial side of the world and this she's debuting a video for her single Pour It Up that will definitely keep her there for a long time.

Not sure on the logistics but Rihanna had thousands of submissions of strippers doing their best performance on the pole to her single Pour It Up. They decided to use this young lady Nicole "The Pole" Williams. Here via Vibe, they show her audition tape routine and they also spliced in actual footage from the making of the video.

What is so spectacular about this video is this woman's flexibility, creativity, and her amazing strength. Now I've never been an advocate of exotic dancers (only because I've seen the dark side of it and it ain't pretty) but she's grown so if she loves her profession I'm not gone judge her or knock her it. I think Nicole "The Pole" is crazy talented and she is absolutely a force to be wrecked with.

Check out the video below and I promise you will see what I mean. Oh and by the way she really is standing on the ceiling y'all! CRAZY RIGHT?!

Here are the remix and original versions of Pour It Up by Rihanna off her album Unapologetic. Available for purchase EVERYWHERE!!!!! iTunes, Amazon, GooglePlay, etc!
