What in the Hell...

I saw this trailer for the movie Precious. It looked good. Watched the preview and immediately thought, Tyler Perry (Oprah Winfrey co-produces) does his damn thing and my moms is definitely gonna cry watching the movie (my mom cries pretty much during any movie/tv show).

Going through the trailer, you think, "damn, they made Mo'Nique look like shit" (kind of on some Oprah in the Color Purple type look, where you forget who the actress is). She looked rough. So, the trailer gets to the end and I see that the flick also stars Mariah Carey. But I didn't see Mariah Carey in the trailer (well, at least I didn't think I saw her). So, I flip it back to watch again. Then, I was like DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!! That's not Mariah. No, can't be. Then my next reaction was, "and Nick Cannon is mad at Eminem?" Nah, he should be mad at the folks that made wifey look so rough (maybe he'll write an unreadable 12 paragraph blog to Tyler Perry about how we should boycott and blah, blah, blah). It's almost like they used computer generated effects or something to give her that look. And you know she really got into character, so chances are she came home looking that way (maybe I'm going overboard, but I did have to take a serious double take when I saw her).

Mariah plays a social worker in the upcoming flick and maybe her acting will be better than it was in Glitter and overall the movie looks pretty good but I'm still amazed at how they made Mariah look. Wow.

Supreme Court Short List

As you may have read or seen, on Friday Justice David Souter informed the White House that he's going to retire from the Supreme Court after the Court's current session. President Obama said he wanted to have a replacement on the bench by the time the court reconvenes in October.

But what is the President looking for in this replacement? According to President Obama, he will seek "somebody with a sharp, independent mind and a record of excellence and integrity. That person must honor traditions and respect the judicial process."

We've decided to take a brief timeout from music and give you a look at who we believe are on the White House's short list to replace Justice Souter on the Supreme Court.



Bobby Brown - Who knows more about the judicial system than the King of R&B? The only person that's seen the inside of a courtroom more than Brown is maybe Todd Bridges.


Perez Hilton - From Miss USA judge to Supreme Court Justice ... makes sense to me. It should make for an entertaining confirmation hearing. I suspect that someone might be called a bitch at some point during confirmation too.


Judge Marilyn Millian - You get a lot with this nomination. She's a hispanic woman plus she's the judge of the People's Court. The People's Court is kind of of the same as the Supreme Court right? Sounds like win/win to me.


Oprah Winfrey - We all know about the "Oprah touch" of turning things into gold (or making them highly desirable after she backs products and people). Imagine what the Oprah touch would do for controversial cases. "Oh, Oprah approved it, then it must be good." The confirmation should be fun too, especially when folks find out they are getting Oprah's favorite things.


Eliott Spitzer - Remember the former crime fighting Governor of New York? Well, I hear that dude is looking for a job and a spot on the highest court in the land might be away to revive his tarnished image. Plus apparently he likes to hang out in DC.
