Lily Tomlin Accuses Beyonce of “Selling Sex to Teeny-Boppers”

Lily Tomlin is on Team Bill O’Reilly. The Fox News host has slammed Beyonce on multiple occasions for being a bad role model , arguing that the artist is part of the teenage pregnancy problem because she sensationalizes sex in too much of her music. And Tomlin agrees. The 74-year-old actress was recently asked by Pride Source what she thought of Beyonce as a “modern-day feminist,” responding that she does like the singer… but has an issue with Beyonce “selling a lot of sex to teeny-boppers.” “She is a pretty popular woman and she’s married to a very powerful man,” Tomlin said. “But she’s still selling sex.” In one of his diatribes against Jay Z’s better half, O’Reilly said that Beyonce “doesn’t seem to care” that about 70 percent of pregnant young girls in the African-American community are unmarried. He added that the idea of Beyonce “empowering” these impressionable youths through her songs and lewd music videos is “nonsense.” Tomlin didn’t get into such detail, admitting she isn’t even “terribly conversant” and adding: “She’s fantastically beautiful and dances, but, you know, it’s very suggestive. If I was a 10-year-old, I would try to emulate her like most 10-year-olds do” – and that could be problematic. What do you think? Does Beyonce set a poor example?

For The Stans: NY Times Article Reveals Ci-Error Fans Are So Effin’ Clueless It’s Downright “Scary”

Blind baby, blind to the facts. We tried tellin’ y’all Ci-Error fans! Earlier this week the New York Times published an article about Stans and their devotion to their favorite artists — no matter how irrelevant *cough* Ciara *cough* they might be. Check out this excerpt: “To affiliate yourself with a mainstream artist today is just like the unwavering loyalty that sports teams have, like the Giants or the Celtics,” said David Russell, an artist manager at IE: Music who works with acts like Robbie Williams and Ladyhawke. “The same way that you follow a team despite the players that come and go, fans come on board early for pop stars and remind people of the success he or she had — whether it was 20 minutes ago or 20 years ago.” This can make competition among stans particularly ugly, but it can also serve as a lifeboat, keeping a troubled performer’s career afloat. The singer Ciara, a former A-list recording artist who fell into a series of problems with her former label, Jive, that resulted in her most-recent album being shelved, might have been forgotten were it not for die-hards going to bat for her day after day on Web sites.. “Her stans compare her to Beyoncé or Rihanna, despite the fact that her album shipped something like less than 30,000 units in North America,” Mr. Russell said. “They will continue to drum up anticipation for whatever keeps her relevant, even if it’s just a fashion association,” like the singer’s friendship with Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy. “Her stans will defend her to the death,” Mr. Russell added. “It’s a little scary.” Poor thang! CiCi, we didn’t realize the numbers were that low!
