Agelenia Jolie Vanity Fair Cover (August 2010)
On a potential Mr. & Mrs. Smith sequel:
“People have tried. And it’s strange: do we have kids in the movie? We’ve thought about that, but it becomes personal now that we actually have kids. And if we work on it, we pull from our own life, which is funny to us, but you feel strange sharing too much. We did ask somebody to look into Mr. & Mrs. to see if they could crack a sequel, but there wasn’t anything original. It was just, Well, they’re going to get married, or they’ve got kids, or they get separated. Never great.”

Reality TV! Chris Breaks Down at Cries During BET Awards's Michael Jackson
Its been a tough year for Chris Brown. Following his public disgrace for beating his ex-girlfriend Rihanna, Brown's career has been in the toilet. His latest album performed poorly, his tour did even worse and weeks ago, Brown was not allowed to enter England due his domestic abuse case.
However, this might all change soon.
During his surprise tribute to Michael Jackson during the 2010 BET Awards, Brown strated crying as he tried to sing Jackson's mega-hit "Man in The Mirror". The tears seemed genuine on TV and even moreso backstage. Accrding to Hollywood Life:
"In addition to his onstage meltdown, the REAL waterworks occurred backstage, HollywoodLife.com can exclusively report. “This night saved my life, and my career. Thank you for everything,” he told pal Ray J backstage. The men hugged twice before Chris started welling up once again. Our eyewitness adds that his tears were genuine, and he seemed both relieved and elated to finally have his career back on track."
During any type of scandal, where an artist or athlete is looked upon as a pariah, there is always a watershed moment, where starts to support that person. Although Chris Brown will also be looked upon as the man who beat Rhianna, his meltdown at the BET Awards will probably lead to more opportunites and assistance from artists and executives who did not want to be associated with him.
But everyone at some point deserve a second chance and it seems like Chris Brown's second opporunity began last night in front of millions to see.
El DeBarge Reappears and Peforms at 2010 BET Awards
If it wasn't for Chris Brown's breakdown on stage, the biggest surprise of the evening would've have been the reemergence of 80's R&B legend El DeBarge.
After fighting alleged drug abuse and landing himself in jail, a slender, but fit looking El DeBarge shocked the BET Awards with a string of DeBarge classic hits "I Like It," "Rhythm of the Night," and "All This Love" and the first single from his upcoming album, "Second Chance."
Although his vocals are not as strong as they use to be, El DeBarge vocals has not severly harmed by drugs like Whitney Houston.
Only time will tell if El DeBarge can find his back onto the stage again, but in the meatime, its always great to hear "I Like It" in all its glory.

Thriller Vision! EW's Michael Jackson TV Tribute Guide
Entertainment Weekly put togther an extensive guide of all of the television programs marking the anniversary of the "King of Pop's" death.
Here are some of the highlights:
TV Guide Network: Gone Too Soon (Friday, June 25, 9-11:00 p.m.) Ian Halperin, New York Times’ No. 1 bestselling author of Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael Jackson, spent five years researching Jackson and declared in December 2008 that the King of Pop had only six months to live. He was only off by one day. Halperin directs this documentary about the factors that he believes contributed to Jackson’s untimely death.
Animal Planet: Michael Jackson and Bubbles: The Untold Story (Thursday, June 24, 8-9:00 p.m., 11 p.m.-12:00 a.m.) For those who’ve absolutely exhausted all other aspects of Jackson’s life and career, this one-hour special, about MJ’s primate compadre, was probably inevitable, right?
CNN: Michael Jackson—The Final Days (Friday, June 25, 8-9 p.m.) CNN’s Don Lemon talks with Jermaine and Tito Jackson about their brother’s death and drug abuse. Also on hand is Jackson crony Dr. Deepak Chopra and famed choreographer Travis Payne, who shares details about working with Michael Jackson on preparations for his “This is It!” tour.

In the recent issue of Vanity Fair, writer Nancy Griffin commemerates the one year anniversary of Michael Jackson's death , with a behind the scenes of Michael Jackson's "Thriller". The piece takes us from Ola Ray's flirtation with the MJ to John Landis asking Joe Jackson to leave the set:
"More than once Landis found himself caught up in the twisted dynamics of the Jackson family. One night when Joseph and Katherine Jackson visited the set, the director recalls, “Michael asked me to have Joe removed. He said, ‘Would you please ask my father to leave?’ So I go over to Mr. Jackson. ‘Mr. Jackson, I’m sorry, but can you please … ?’ ‘Who are you?’ ‘I’m John Landis. I’m directing this.’ ‘Well, I’m Joe Jackson. I do what I please, and I want to be here.’ I said, ‘I’ll have to ask security to remove you if you don’t leave now.’” Landis had a policeman escort Joe Jackson off the set."

Lady Gaga has been creating a lot of non music news lately from going to her sister's graduation with a bee keepers mask to wearing to going to New York Yankees locker room in a jersey and underwear.
In the latest issue of Rolling Stone LG declares "The message of the new music is now more bitter than it was before," she told Rolling Stone. "Because the sweeter the cake, the more bitter the jelly can be."

Who Knew? Lupe Fiasco Made Nothin' On You with Bruno Mars First! ( Original Version)
Lupe Fiasco with Girlfriends' Tracey Ellis Ross
Producer Jim Jonsin MTV News told that Bruno Mars production team The Smeezingtons production of Nothin on You" was originally meant for Lupe Fiasco.
“I was actually working on a session in Chung King [Studios], and [Atlantic Records chairman] Craig Kallman called me during that session with that particular track, to work on it for Lupe Fiasco,” Jonsin told MTV News. “I told Craig, ‘I like the song a lot. It’s a smash and could be somebody’s single. But it’s not Lupe’s record. I need this record for B.o.B. Please give this record to B.o.B.’ I guess they went through whoever they went through, convinced whoever they needed to, and it got to B.o.B.”" (quote via Rap Radar)
In a Complex Magazine article, Bruno Mars said "So, Me, Phil & Ari [of Bruno's production crew, The Smeezingtons] did the track and we submitted it to Atlantic Records and they asked us, ‘What do you think about B.o.B on this?’ I was like, ‘Perfect, let’s see what happens"

Sure her outfit is a bit wacky, but L Boogie seems to be hitting all cylinders. Ms. Hill (who will be performing at the Rock The Bells later this year), wowed the Harmony Festival patrons in Santa Rosa, CA with “Doo Wop (That Thing)” and her verse from ”Fu-Gee-La”
While Whitney Houston's comeback has been sad and disastourous, maybe the equally troubled Hilll has finally tackled her demons and is now on a path to thrill us once again wh her wonderous talent.

New Rock: Flyeaf's Missing -A New Era of Christain Rocks Lands on MTV
I'm a Hip Hop loving, neo soul embracing fool, but rock is also a heavy part of my DNA.
Yesterday I DVR'd MTV's AMTV's moring video show and I came this video by Flyleaf called "Missing". Right off the bat I was intrigued becasue the video is reminscent of Smashing Pumpkin's "Tonight, Tonight", but the song itself is very compelling. I
don't know much about the band, except they are a christain rock band fom Texas and lead snger Lacey Mosley great refreshing voice, in a fuller sounding Gwen Stefani way.
The last Christain rock-ish band they hit was probably Creed back in the 2000's, but Flyleaf might be the first full bore Christain Rock to top charts in the 2010's.

Really? Rihanna New Album To be On The Same Level as Michael Jackson's Thriller?
"Rihanna is coming along incredibly. I’m trying to push her to where every song will be a hit from 1 to 12. I’m talking about NO album fillers. Our bar for this album is Michael Jackson’s Thriller. We got smashes from Stargate, Ester Dean, Mel & Mus and Rock City. We’re definitely going in with Ne-Yo, The-Dream and other writers and producers that have always been a part of her creative process since day one. She’s great to work with and very hands on with every song that’s being written and produced. She has visual concepts for just about every song. It’s already giving me the feel of a timeless album, and right now is her time"
I really do like Rhianna, the only person that has come close to carry on Janet Jackson was Aaliyah who died prematurely, but Rhianna, has done a lot with limited singing skills and tenacity...HOWEVER!
Michahel Jackson's Thriller was cultural album that comes only once in a generation.
It crossed racial and generational lines,("Thriller" is the reason Rhi Rhi can be played on MTV today, because videos by black artits were not played on MTV in the early 80's)
MJ also totally changed the video game, but most importantly, he set an standard that many artists, but most will never acheive. This is not to say that there won't be another game changer.
Before Michael Jackon it was The Beatles,
Before the Beatles it was Elivs Presely,
Before Elvis Presely it was Frank Sinatra.
This is not to say Rhianna can't do it,
but game changing albums usualy are not proclaimed,
they usually just happen.

Where Are You: Lacy Chabert?
Recently there was news that two "Mean Girls inspired movies were being cast. Mean Moms and Mean Girls 2.
I looked at the picture of the original "Mean Girl "cast and my eyes went immediantly to Lacey Chabert.
When Mean Girls debuted in 2004, Chabert had the most clout because of her work on the 90's Fox series "Party of Five", but after the film hit, Lindsay Lohan got the most notice, but you still thought that Chabert would at least score a few movies or even a TV show like "Army Wives".
Five years later, Lacy Chabert seems to be the only "Mean Girl" not be successful.
After the success of "Mean Girls", Lindsay Lohan became a star, a sex symbol , then quickly burned into out into the world amidst bad movies, failed relationships and allegeded drug use.
For all her talent, Lindasy Lohan is nothing now but tabloid fodder for the gossip mags
On the other hand, Canadian beauty Rachel McAdams became a bonafide film star with hits films "Notebook" , "Wedding Crashers", "Red Eye", "The Time Traveler's Wife" and "Sherlock Holmes".
Tina Fey who wrote and starred in "Mean Girls", created the Emmy winning comedy "30 Rock", while her SNL buddy Amy Poehlor went on to "Park and Recreation" (both on NBC).
The last of the ""Mean Girls" crew, Amanda Seyfried has became Hollywood's new "It Girl" in Hollywood with films "Dear John", and "Choloe" as well as her continued sellar twork on HBO's "Big Love"
But what happened to the Chabert?
Even her former cast members of "Party of Five" achieved success: Mathew Fox ("Lost"), Jennifer Love Hewitt ("Ghost Whisperer") Neve Campbell ("Scream") Scott Wolf ("V"). On the IMDB, the most consistent work she had was in 2009, voicing the role of "Gwen Stacey" in The Spectacular Spider-Man" cartoon. For comic geek like myself that's preety cool, but when Rachel McAdams is making movies with Vince Vaughn & Robert Downey Jr. and Tina Fey is scoring back to back Emmy's, it seems a bit sad.
Lacy if you''re out there, holla at me, so I can find out what happened.
Then maybe we can hit the bookstore and read how sad Linday Lohan's life is in the tabloids.
New Lil Wayne Video "I'm Single"
If you are old enough to remember, when 2Pac died, it seemed like to had at least five videos made before he died. Taking a cue from the Hip Hop great, Lil Wayne shot 20 videos befor he went to jail earlier this year. The "I'm Single" isn't the greatest video, but it's decent and video model is hot, so mission accomplished.
