Dark Skinned Extinction? Tyra Banks Says All Women In The Future Will Look Like Beyonce, Rihanna…Or Her

Nobody’s going to look like Lupita though? Hm… Tyra Banks Makes Predictions On Beauty In The Future Tyra Banks has never been known for making the most intelligent of statements, but somehow she was tapped for a column in the Wall Street Journal this past week to give her predictions on what beauty will look like in the unspecified future. As she wrote for WSJ.com : As I look into the future, I see radical changes in both how people “attain beauty,” and how the world perceives beauty. In general, I believe, traditional beauty will be less valuable—and more uniqueness will be heralded. But let me be more specific with 10 predictions: Since nobody really has time for all that, you’re getting the main four here: 1. Plastic surgery will be as easy and quick as going to the drugstore for Tylenol. Emphasis will be on how unique and interesting one can look, as opposed to a cookie-cutter look. People will be vying for that cutting-edge, distinct look in the way that today celebs reach for baby names that defy convention. 2. There will be no hair extensions. If one wants longer locks, a hair-growing serum is applied to the scalp, and the length and thickness of the hair will increase in 24 hours. The popular hair texture of choice will be curly. Well with the popularity of fake cakes and rented weaves …she might have a point with these predictions… 4. The features of one’s baby will be as selectable as menu items at a fast-food drive-through window. Blue and green eyes will become so common that dark brown will become the rare and newly desired eye color. 5. Skin color and features will mesh into a similar shade for the majority of people. Typical features and coloring will lean toward a Rihanna or Beyoncé or me kind of look. People with alabaster or ebony skin will be rare and heralded for that uniqueness. Sidenote…she never seems to miss an opportunity to to refer to herself as a beauty standard, does she? So Tyra thinks today’s beauty ideals will become so common and easily attained that roles will essentially be reversed and dark and extremely pale skin will be rare, yet sought after? Interesting, but we aren’t sure why is this even coming from her. Doesn’t she have a modeling show that no one watches anymore to worry about or something? What do you think of Tyra’s predictions on beauty? Is she on the right track or does she deserve a “ho sit down?”

So Much For That Second Chance: El DeBarge Is Heading To Rehab

Pookie told y’all: once you’re on it, that thang keeps calling you. And El DeBarge went back, left and checked into rehab all while we were applauding his comeback. The ’80s popster, whose chart-topping career (“The Rhythm of the Night,” “Who’s Johnny”) hit the skids after a crack conviction and two years in prison, announced today that he has checked into rehab. “I hate to disappoint my fans but it is necessary for me to take the time to work on me so that I may continue to share my music and my story with everyone,” the 49-year-old DeBarge said. “I thank everyone in advance for their prayers and well wishes and hope that you will respect my privacy during this time.” Here’s hoping his “me time” gets him back on track. Before entering a drug-treatment facility for his unspecified addiction, the hitmaker had been making the promotional rounds for his comeback album, Second Chance. He also scored two Grammy nominations—for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance and Best R&B Song. DeBarge had been slated as an opening act for Mary J. Blige and planned to tour extensively on his own in 2011. Those commitments, along with the publicity appearances, have now been canceled. SMH. And all this because his father was a monster. Source

Wikileaks Website Back Up Again – Urges People Download Insurance File

Developing Story….This is interesting, to say the least. Whistle-blowing organization Wikileaks is urging the public to download their ever-so-famous “insurance” file from The Pirate Bay, according to a recently transmitted tweet. This file, nearly 2GB in size, is said to contain thousands of secret U.S. documents aimed at embarrassing the nation’s government, and potentially causing harm to the United States’ relations with allies. The file has been around since this Summer and is heavily encrypted [AES-256]. In the event of Wikileaks’ founder’s [Julian Assange] death (or some other unspecified reason), the secret key would be released — exposing the documents to all who have downloaded and obtained the key. We’re not sure as to why Wikileaks is now urging users to download the file, but it just may be that they’re soon planning to release the key. This is a developing story. Stay tuned. Update: The WikiLeaks website has gone down. added by: jubal
