Harold Perrineau Defends Daughter Aurora Perrineau
Well looks like someone’s up in their feelings. Ever since Jem and the holograms cast was announced people were highly upset when the role of Shana, the African American character was cast by a biracial woman names Aurora Perrineau.
Not only has this movie gotten backlash, but this particular casting has gotten a lot of hell as well. The reason why is because instead of getting a woman who actually matches the skin tone, they went for the “lighter and brighter’ method of casting.
But there is one person who isn’t too happy about these comments made about Aurora and that’s her father Harold Perrineau.
Perrineau went on a rant saying people are only bashing her daughter based on her skin color and not her acting skills. He even quoted part of Martin Luther King’s Speech ” I Have A Dream” speech.
He also stated that since a lot of people are up in arms about the casting choice that that should channel their anger in to making characters that match the physical description themselves.
While I do agree about the casting part he should’ve already known what mess his daughter was getting into when she took that role. Black people are tired of the white washing in Hollywood which is why people went so hard at this girl. But then again the movie flopped anyway so I call it karma.
Dear White People Review
Although this movie is a year old that still doesn’t mean I can’t review it! I can honestly say that Dear White People was one of the best movies I saw in 2014. It was definitely worth the money.
For those who haven’t seen it, Dear White People is a satirical comedy of the lives of several black students as they go through their daily lives on a predominantly white campus.
The films main character Sam White, a biracial black revolutionary who’s determined to save the college’s only black student housing. Lionel Higgins, a gay black sophomore who dreams of being a journalist but also endures harassment by his dorm mates. Colandera “CoCo” Jones, a girl who I can only describe as the opposite of Sam and Troy Fairbanks, a political science major who has secret dreams of being a comedian.
There was never a dull moment in this movie. All of the characters grab your attention, some you empathize with some you laugh with or at depending on the situation.
This movie also sheds a light on racial tensions between some black and white students at universities. This movie has and will continue to spark dialogues. All in all I give this movie a 10/10 if you haven’t seen it you’re missing out!
Drunken Justin Bieber smokes, pours booze on audience during show
Justin, Justin YOU A HOT DRUNKEN DAYUM MESS! Do you die hard Bieber Fans still got the Bieber fever? I wonder will you after reading this…
AUCKLAND, New Zealand – Justin Bieber was drunk during his surprise appearance with hip-hip duo Rae Sremmurd in New Zealand on Thursday night.
At the start of this year, the “Baby” singer vowed to clean up his act after he became more famous for his legal troubles and run-ins with the police over the past few years.
However, he reverted to his bad boy behavior when he appeared with the rappers at The Studio in Auckland. Video footage shows Bieber dancing aimlessly around on the stage and smoking as the “No Type” singers perform their hits.
Further clips show Bieber sipping from an expensive bottle of Hennessy cognac, pouring some of it on the stage and tipping more over audience members, before he dances with Rae Sremmurd for their song “Unlock the Swag.”
The pop star confessed on Instagram.com that he had drunk too much, and shared a video of the concert, adding, “I ain’t got no type #drunkjustin.”
Bieber also performed his new single “What Do You Mean?”.
*Sips Tea* Hmmmmm I wonder is there a YouTube Video?

The Perfect Guy Movie Review
The Perfect Guy has probably been the most talked about movie all week. I had the pleasure of seeing it yesterday and here’s my take on it.
The movie stars Sanaa Lathan as Leah Vaughn Michael Ealy as Carter Duncan and Morris Chestnut as David King. While the acting is good the movie felt a bit stale to me since I’ve technically seen the same movie earlier this year. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, watch The Boy Next Door. This movie is basically the male version of Fatal Attraction.
Basically Leah was dating David for a while and when it seemed like David wasn’t ready for marriage she breaks up with him. A short while later she meets Carter and she’s swooned by him. Basically he literally seems like the perfect guy to her, her friends like him, and her parents like him. Everything seemed normal till he snapped and beat up a guy at a gas station. After that Leah gets scared and dumps him and the craziness begins.
See what I mean? A male Fatal Attraction movie. I never understood why Hollywood tries to remake certain suspense films and try to rename it something else to make it seem like it’s different. The movie was pretty much predictable. You never had to guess and you can pretty much predict the fate of all of the characters involved.
But like I said while the plot was stale the acting was good. I enjoyed it more than The Boy Next Door at least. On a grading scale from A to F, I give it a D+ and I say D+ since the acting pretty much saved it from getting an F.

Amandla Stenberg Launches New Comic Book Starring a “Badass Girl” of Color
I love the fact we’re seeing more People of Color in comic bocks and graphic novels but it be nice see a DARK SKINNED Character you white people (DO NOT TAKE IT PERSONAL WHITE PEOPLE of course I DON’T MEAN ALL OF YOU THINK THIS WAY) may say what’s the BIG DEAL at least you have something of your OWN! yes that’s TRUE but light skinned or white seems to be always the DEFULT when it comes to producing; casting for movies, TV or even creating a comic book; graphic novel. I am proud of this sistah girl Amandla Stenberg but from the Hunger Games Movies I wonder does she recognize that it is important to NOT only represent her OWN complexation but give the DARK SKINNED GIRLS some SHINE!
