SMH Poll Shows 1 In 4 Americans Approve Of Blackface In the wake of the abundance of blackface Halloween costumes that invaded seemingly all of social media recently, a new poll has emerged proving that 1 in 4 Americans think blackface is acceptable. via The Grio surprising new poll from Huffington Post/YouGov, in the wake of several blackface Halloween controversies, has found that at least 4 in 10 Americans see no problem with darkening your skin for a costume. Despite widespread criticism directed at actress Julianne Hough and others, “43 percent of Americans think it’s acceptable for a white person to wear blackface in order to appear as a black person on Halloween, while only 37 percent think it’s unacceptable.” Their poll also found a slim majority approving of dressing as an “ethic stereotype.” There was a clear racial divide in the results. Whites were roughly split down the middle about whether blackface is appropriate for Halloween. Forty-six percent of whites said it was OK, while 43 percent said it isn’t. Can’t say we’re surprised at these results….are you? Continue reading →
The Oscar Pistorius case took a strange twist after it was revealed that Hilton Botha, the lead investigator, was charged with seven counts of attempted murder. Prosecutors said they didn’t know Botha faces seven charges of attempted murder in connection with the October 2011 shooting of a minibus in South Africa. Hilton Botha, a 24-year police veteran with 16 years as a detective, is slated to appear in court this May along with two other police officers in the incident. The bus shooting charges were initially dropped in the wake of the incident, but officials said the Director of Public Prosecutions had reinstated the charges. The country’s National Prosecuting Authority said the detective should be taken off the Oscar Pistorius case, but it’s a decision only police can make. The revelation came one day after Botha testified that authorities recovered two boxes of testosterone, along with needles, from Pistorius’ bedroom. This raised speculation that Pistorius was on steroids when he fatally shot girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp last week at his home in Pretoria, South Africa. In the bail hearing, Botha testified that contrary to Pistorius’ claims, he knew Steenkamp “was in the bathroom, and he shot four shots through the door.” Pistorius has claimed that he thought she was an intruder when he fired and the whole thing was a tragic accident; police and prosecutors say otherwise. Botha and Pistorius actually crossed paths before in 2009, when the detective investigated accusations of assault against the Olympic track superstar. Pistorius won global acclaim as the first-ever double-amputee runner in Olympic competition last year, holding his own against able-bodied athletes.
Where in the world is Matt Lauer? It’s a question The Today Show has asked for years, but the answer this week has created even more controversy around NBC. TMZ has learned that Lauer is on vacation with his family in Vail, a seemingly innocuous luxury, except for two facts: It is February Sweeps, the television period where ratings truly translate into advertising dollars. With Robin Roberts returning yesterday to Good Morning America , you would think Today would want its lead anchor in place to go up against such stiff competition. But NBC insiders say Lauer “took this exact same week off last year and the year before” because his kids are on school break “and other anchors have taken off in Sweeps months before.” We have no doubt that’s all true. Still, GMA is destroying Today in the ratings and we can see this trip simply increasing the abundance of Matt Lauer fired rumors.

In This Means War , Chris Pine and Tom Hardy play CIA operatives battling for the heart of Reese Witherspoon. So it’s only natural for us to pit these actors against each in real life, too, isn’t it? Study the looks of Pine and Hardy at the Hollywood premiere of this romantic comedy (try to imagine the latter without his abundance of facial hair if that helps) and answer the pressing question that Witherspoon’s character faces in the movie: Who would you rather be interrogated by privately… if you know what we mean?
Jesse Farrelly, the son of director Bobby Farrelly ( Something About Mary , Hall Pass ), passed away Wednesday night after paramedics arrived at his Costa Mesa apartment and found him unresponsive, authorities report. He was 20 years old. TMZ cites sources who say Jesse was transported to a local hospital and pronounced dead a short time after his body was discovered. He passed away from a suspected overdose, as the coroner has ruled out foul play. In response to the tragedy, the Farrelly family – which includes fellow director Peter, pictured above with Bobby – released a statement that reads: “It is with profound sorrow that we accept the passing of our beloved Jesse following his struggle with addiction. We fully trust that he is now in the hands of our Lord. “We are immeasurably grateful for the abundance of happiness and laughter he brought into our lives, and we will rejoice eternally for all the moments we got to breathe in his wondrous spirit. The family thanks you for your well wishes and kindly asks that you respect our privacy during this difficult time.”
