The look: I’ll just start at the top and go down: a black sash around a wicker hat says, “I’m not shielding my eyes from the Nevada sun as I drive my herd West; this is fashion”; gold doorknocker earrings add a splash of weight to her head; the scales of her black leather (pleather? […]

Rihanna Just Wants Things They Way They Were Before It Was Illegal for Chris Brown to Touch Her In the Good Way
Chris Brown will receive his five-year probation today for assualting his ex-girlfriend Rihanna. Rihanna wants to commemorate by allowing Chris the option of standing next to her sometime without getting arrested for it, so sayeth Bossip: The 21-year-old “Umbrella” singer wants a less-stringent “level one” order, with no distance requirement, her lawyer said. “Our position […]
Like Everybody is Saying that Rihanna is Seeing Chris Brown Again
Rihanna and Chris Brown‘s purportedly re-kindled romance is the talk of the celebs blogosphere as of late. We wrote about this a week ago; since then, the story has only gained momentum. “She keeps denying that she’s seeing Chris again, though no one believes her,” says the NY Post quoting a “source,” which in the […]
Hugh Jackman to Play P.T. Barnum, Apocryphal Source of “Sucker Born Every Minute” Quote
Hugh Jackman, the most aggressively campy heterosexual man who can actually get away with it (I guess you get a free pass to prance and “jazz-hand” when you can convincingly play Wolverine) will be suiting up to play the pageantry-salesman P.T. Barnum in an original musical. I had planned on making some sort of play […]
Ne-Yo and His Fiancee Have Separated
Sweet, sensitive crooner Ne-Yo and his fiancee are no more. I keep my finger on the pulse of black America by reading the comments section on black gossip websites daily. Let’s let the posters on mediatakeout.com volunteer a few theories as to what caused the split. I have kept the spelling and font colors unchanged: […]
Soulja Boy Just Put Diamonds on a Toy Car and Made it a Necklace

We wouldn’t be here to get this ice and tattoos.” — Soulja Boy Why don’t people understand that Soulja Boy is being intentionally funny when he says ish like this? The kid is legitimately hysterical.

Party’s Over, Michael Jackson Bootleggers; Get Back to Calvin Peeing on Stuff
The AP has a lengthy article (don’t worry, I’ll chop it down into an eighth) today about the explosion in unlicensed Michael Jackson material since the pop star’s passing. “We sold 2,000 T-shirts in the first week. We’re still selling a lot” recounts a giddy rag trade pirate. I bet that guy prays before going […]
That’s Fine, I Wanted a Goat Anyway: Wayne Brady To Host “Let’s Make a Deal” Re-Launch
Another cheesy hosting gig for Wayne Brady. What would the black Wink Martindale be called? Blink Martindale? Or Wink Washington? Yes, I am well aware that Wink Martindale did not host the original “Let’s Make a Deal” but “Monty Hall” doesn’t lend itself to any clever race jokes. CBS says an updated version of the […]
Jaime Pressly is Engaged
My Name is Earl Star Jaime Pressly can cross marriage off her list. (That show is about a list in a guy’s pocket, right? I’m not trying to reference The Bucket List, here.) Her rep confirmed (or “volunteered”) the information exclusively to US Weekly. The star will wed entertainment lawyer Simran Singh. Is he her […]
Chelsea Handler Sarcastically Miffed Over GLAAD Snub
The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, which exists primarily to send out eye-rolling press releases chiding people for using the word “gay” when referring to something that sucks (they also went out of their way to stomp the fun out of Bruno) just totally iced Chelsea Handler in their latest “report” (WHO ASKED?!) on […]
