Attitude check
Esteemed writer Terry McMillan must have lost her mind last week when she went off on Twitter about Will and Jada Pinckett-Smith “pimping and exploiting” the power couple’s children, Willow and Jaden. I know it is not McMillan’s business to interfere with how Will and Jada rear their children. Hold up, now: don’t get too upset at McMillan. From what I have seen of Willow, she is already acting like an adult. Jada told Style magazine last month, “We don’t have rules, we have agreements.” WTH! For most of us, the only agreement we had with our parents was, “Do what I say, or I will whip yo a$&.” Then, Bossip.com reported last week that Willow is skipping tutoring to tour with Will because she “got how celebrity works,” while Jaden is making useless appearances on Ellen. If Will and Jada want to raise uneducated, cocky kids, who are we to complain?
Somebody help her
Rihanna ruffled the feathers of some when – during a conversation with a friend about the singer’s new red hairstyle – she used a derogatory word to refer to female genital. When she was asked about the inappropriate rant, she said “bite me.” A fan told a newspaper that “Rihanna is a role model” to kids. Since when?
1+1 = 3????
I don’t know what to say about Toni Braxton. Last year, she filed for bankruptcy and lost two homes. The Wall Street Journal reported Friday the Grammy-award winning singer’s million-dollar home will go into foreclosure. Get this, she is hell-bent on staying in a home she cannot afford. She told the court she ain’t leaving. What part of this does she not understand? In October, reports showed the singer was in $10 to $50 million in debt. I would have a little sympathy for her if she said her health problems led to high health bills. But, that isn’t the case. She is obviously living beyond her means. She puts Hammer and Wesley Snipes to shame. Now, since she cannot count her pennies and cannot stay out of Norstroms, she has considered resorting to a Playboy shoot to get out of debt.
