People don't understand how much VH1 contributed to cultural literacy. Yeah you were high on the couch watching hours of Pop Up video & I Love The (pick a decade) but you were also getting an education in cultural history. We could use more of that, now, & less tik tok slop.

Actually it was the Wayans that forced the NFL’s hand to change the halftime show. The NFL used to phone the halftime shows in with groups like “Up With People” so K Wayans did In Living Color counter programming same time as halftime & beat ratings. NFL booked MJ that next year

Oh look who wrote the article, the same woman who made that puff piece about Ben Affleck. Isn't it interesting?

Ghostface finds Sidney in a mental institution at the beginning of the film. She’s waiting for him and they fight on the rooftop. Ghostface kills her after they share a kiss. After this extended opening, the film transitions into a new story with a new cast lead by Busta Rhymes.

Why is there a lack of coverage about this?
#YourVoiceMatters
#JasonArday has been cleared of plagiarism for a fourth time. Why is the media silent about it?
As another investigation ends without substantiating plagiarism claims, @richardsudan asks who will hold the British media accountable for its treatment of the pioneering Black academic?👇🏿

I saw someone say she's appropriating white culture by being punk and it's very important to me that everyone knows the song played in this trailer is LITERALLY about a black woman being called a poseur by fellow punks because of her skin color 50 YEARS AGO

Dear dumbfucks,
You can like the Cheesecake Factory and not want the White House to look like the Cheesecake Factory.

Y’all are not hating this man hard enough if you are still giving him nights in your theaters and pages on your websites.

if I recall correctly, this film was made in part to counter tim burtons racist statement of black people not fitting his "aesthetic" which is such a baller move honestly. this movie looks beautiful and kat herself oozes charm
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Tim Burton did not say Black people don't fit his aesthetic. In 2016 he said diversity should fit the story, citing Brady Bunch tokenism. Wendell & Wild development started 2015; Peele wanted a Black lead for kids like him to see themselves.

kind of surprised by the number of people who didn’t know that a huge portion of hollywood either sided with chris brown or coddled him. rihanna was being attacked from every side. people love to say that moment ruined his career, but most of his success came after that.

I need people to revisit 𝘈𝘯 𝘜𝘯𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘥 𝘓𝘪𝘧𝘦 because Jennifer Lopez was giving a PERFORMANCE. The emotional nuances were everything. 🔥

Shame on the journalist who let him get away with this lie. There are literal articles on The Hollywood Reporter about it 😂 Sacha Baron Cohen met with TikTok to convince them to censor support for Palestine ffs.
Sacha Baron Cohen on suspicion that the calls for a boycott of his new film, 'Ali G: Who Iz I?,' are tied to his past support of Israel:
"Well, I haven’t said anything about Israel. I think people are being portrayed as things that they are not on social media and it’s problematic. We are in a world where people can’t distinguish between facts and lies, and that’s something that I’ve spent a lot of the last few years trying to fix. For example, I co-founded a group called Stop Hate for Profit with the NAACP and Color of Change and the ADL and certain other civil rights groups to stop the misinformation and incitement of racism on social media. So, I’m not surprised that prominent Jews are being targeted. I knew that this was going to happen. The level of organization is surprising, but this is a trend of Jews being portrayed in certain ways and trying to be silenced." bit.ly/4BpPgkz
