Bossip Giveaway: Screening Passes to See “Captain Phillips” In SF/Oakland, LA, Houston, Dallas, CHI, ATL, Philly, DC, Detroit, and NYC

Bossip and Sony Pictures want to give you free screening passes to check out the new dramatic thriller! Captain Phillips is a multi-layered examination of the 2009 hijacking of the U.S. container ship Maersk Alabama by a crew of Somali pirates. It is — through director Paul Greengrass’s distinctive lens — simultaneously a pulse-pounding thriller, and a complex portrait of the myriad effects of globalization. The film focuses on the relationship between the Alabama’s commanding officer, Captain Richard Phillips (two time Academy Award®-winner Tom Hanks), and the Somali pirate captain, Muse (Barkhad Abdi), who takes him hostage. Phillips and Muse are set on an unstoppable collision course when Muse and his crew target Phillips’ unarmed ship; in the ensuing standoff, 145 miles off the Somali coast, both men will find themselves at the mercy of forces beyond their control.

Dear Bossip: My Man Confessed To Sleeping With Over 1,000 Women & Is Addicted To Social Networking

Dear Bossip , Where do I start, I finally got the man I love to commit to a relationship. He gave me the code to the alarm and the keys to the door, so I have the ability to come and go as I please. Let me add, the man is 53-years old, retired military, and confesses to sleeping with well over 1,000 women (scary). But, the problem is the man is committed to social networks, seems he can’t get enough of contacting women on these sites. Before we started dating he had a friend whom he befriended on the web and they made arrangements for her to come to town. I understand that arrangements have been made, tickets have been bought, is it unreasonable for me to think this needs to be cancelled? According to her profile she is blatantly looking for love, she wants a man. Do you think it’s ok for this rendezvous to take place? Now when I question him, he says I am welcome to come along, I know that’s another ploy to throw me off. Deep down, I don’t trust the man. Some way to start a relationship. In addition, I also have the pin number to his debit card. (I know, you’re saying, wow) This man has so many web friends I don’t know what to do or think. He said that if I want him to cancel his account he would, but I don’t want him to cancel his account to make me happy. I want him to cancel or refrain from going to those sites because he has met the woman for him. This is where you come in. Do you think I can make a lasting relationship out of this? Now the other day I left his home to go ride my bike, and when I returned he had something propped against the bedroom door where the computer is located so I couldn’t just come right in. Does he have something to hide? So, he gives me the code and the keys to throw me off the scent. I’m not confused I just need reassurance. Please help; don’t worry, I’ve toughened my skin, so I won’t bleed. – Not Confused Just Need Reassurance Dear Ms. Not Confused Just Need Reassurance , I can’t. I won’t. I refuse. I sent a short yellow bus to your home. Please put on your pink helmet and get your small roller backpack. I’m taking you on a little trip. It’s so sad that you douse yourself in that desperation perfume to cover up your low self-esteem, and low self-worth. SMDH! Now, you clearly are not that bright, and definitely desperate for a man. You’re so desperate that you will jeopardize your health, life, and own sanity to have some man lay on top of you and do his business despite him confessing he has slept with over 1,000 women. You’re so desperate that you will knowingly commit to a man whom you know is addicted to dating/social networking sites and meeting women. You also have the damn nerve to ask me if I think it’s okay for him to have a rendezvous with a woman he met on the internet, and she is coming to town to visit him, but her ulterior motive is love and finding a man. You are a damn fool! Please reach around and smack your own damn self in the face. First off, a man who confesses to sleeping with over 1,000 women is not scary. That is dangerous! Who wants to be with someone with that many bodies, and lawd knows how many infectious diseases he’s probably encountered. By the way, have you two gone to the health clinic and gotten complete physical and STD exams? (*  *       ) (Giving you the side eye) But, let me ask you this, do you think he would be with you, or any man would be with you if you confessed and said that you’ve slept with over 1,000 men? If you know that no man would want to be committed to you because he wouldn’t see you as someone as respectable, lady-like, and basically a hoe, then why would you want to be committed to a man who has slept with over 1,000 women? He’s not respectable, or a man, and basically he is a hoe. Secondly, you say that he has a lot of web friends, and that he has said he will cancel his account if you want him to, but you don’t want him to cancel them to make you happy. And, you want him to refrain from going to those sites because he has met the woman for him. Hmmm, do you honestly think that you are the woman for him? I’ll wait while you ponder that. Some of you women are truly retards with slow a** brains, and I see why men prey on women like you. No self-esteem. No self-love. No self-worth. You think just because he gave you the keys and security code to his home, and his pin number to his debit card that you have some sense of security. Do you have the pin number to his main account, or is it one of his accounts? Trust me, it’s not his main account. And, no, chicken head, and I didn’t say, “Wow!” I said, “She’s the perfect trick! He gives every woman he’s been with the same information.” And, all you birds fall for the same the game. IT’S GAME! GAME! GAME! He does the same thing with every woman he comes across. But, those women, and eventually you, one day, will wake up and know he is not going to change. You will realize that he is not going to stop going to those websites, and everything coming out of his mouth is nothing but bull-ish and games. You know what, sweetie, how about asking him for his screen names and passwords to all his social/dating websites? Bet he won’t give that to you! Ask him how many bank accounts he has, and which one do you have the debit card pin number to? You say you’re not confused and need reassurance. Uhm, well, I hate to break it to you, but you are confused, dumb, slow, and just another notch on this man’s bedpost. So, count yourself included in the over 1,000 women he’s bedded. SMDH! Go and get yourself checked out after laying with this man. Don’t you know that there is a sharing of spirits when you lay and receive a man into your womb? Don’t you know that every woman he’s been with he is carrying their spirit, and dumps his seed and their spirits in you when he releases? Yeah, over 1,000 women. How does that feel? I’m curious to know that since he’s 53-years old, retired military, then how many times has he been married? How many children does he have? Have you met any of his family members, personal friends, or anyone important in his life? And, if this man hasn’t settled down by now, and he’s 53-years old, and is addicted to dating/social websites, girl, he is not about to stop now. You have the all the information you need, so what do you want me to reassure you about? That he will continue to sleep with and meet women over the web? That he will cheat, lie, manipulate, and deceive you, and you’ll fall for each of his lies, deceptions, and manipulative ways trying to convince yourself that you can change him? You actually think and feel he’s met the woman for him, and that he is going to turn his life around? LMBAO!!!! Okay, sit over there and reassure your own damn self. Why do you think something was propped up against the door where the computer is located when you came home? I can’t with you, and I’m done. I hope you’ll truly open your eyes, take all the information you have, and say, “Self, why am I remaining in this situation with someone who clearly does not feel I’m the one. He is not going to stop visiting those websites and making friends. He is not going to stop having sex with various and random women. Why am I fooling myself? Am I really that naïve and desperate?” – Terrance Dean Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think? Share your opinions and thoughts below!

For Discussion: Single Black Men (43%) Are Ready For Commitment And “Long-Term Relationships” More So Than Black Women (25%)

Black Men Are Ready For Commitment More Than Women According to a new study, black men want commitment and apparently aren’t the “ain’t isht dirty dogs” that they are perceived to be…. Via NPR: We recently found that single black men were much more likely to say they were looking for a long-term relationship (43 percent) compared to single black women (25 percent). Those numbers come from our big poll of African-Americans’ views of their lives and communities (the poll was conducted by NPR, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Harvard School of Public Health). Our findings about the dating lives of single folks — that is, respondents 18-49, widowed, divorced, or never married — have sparked the most conversation so far. And the gender skew has elicited straight-out side-eyes. A lot of people wondered just what was going on, because the prevailing story is that black women cannot find black men who are interested in a relationship. (And if we’re keeping it one hundred, these results sparked some arguments among the Code Switch team.) So here are some additional ideas about what might explain this discrepancy. As our poll makes clear: it’s hardly that neat. 1. The Financial Stability Theory. When we asked Robert Blendon, one of the poll’s co-directors, what might explain this gap, he pointed to research that has shown black folks care more about the economic cost-benefit analysis of partnering up. “African-Americans were more concerned with financial security than whites or Hispanics when they considered marriage,” Blendon said. So why might that matter? Blendon said that black women are outpacing black men in college attendance and completion, as well as as the attainment of postgraduate degrees. (Women in general are more likely to get degrees, but it’s even more pronounced among black folks: two-thirds of all bachelor’s degrees awarded to African-Americans in 2009-2010 went to women.) 2. The What-Do-You-Mean-By-Long-Term-Relationship Theory. This is the theory we heard most often. Maybe people have very different definitions of “long-term relationship.” Put another way: men want relationships, not marriage. That’s what Milton Appling, a single Brooklynite, told NPR’s Chris Johnson when asked for his thoughts on the findings. “If ‘long-term relationship’ means headed to marriage as a final step, as opposed to X years and we’ll see what happens, then that’s very different,” he said. “Men in general, when they hear that term, do not necessarily mean ‘marriage.’ Marriage is marriage.” 3. The “Bradley Effect” Theory. Back in 1982, Tom Bradley, L.A.’s first black mayor, was running for governor of California. Polls had shown him with a pretty sizable lead over his opponent, George Deukmejian. One newspaper even projected Bradley as the winner during election night. But when the results came in, Bradley had lost. How? One theory started to gain traction — white respondents, wary of being labeled racist, gave pollsters the response that they felt was most socially acceptable. This idea became known as “The Bradley Effect.” (It’s worth noting that this theory’s been hotly debated since it was coined. We use the term without taking a stand, one way or another.) Many commenters wondered if the Bradley Effect was in play here — in other words, respondents were fronting for pollsters to look “good.” Could they have been trying to avoid coming across as no-’count, triflin’ commitment-phobes? 4. Occam’s Razor. You know the theory of Occam’s razor: the simplest explanation is probably the best. Let’s consider the possibility that maybe, just maybe, the poll results are spot-on accurate. And maybe the prevailing conventional wisdom about what black women and black men want is just wrong. This seems to be both the most obvious possibility, yet it seems to be the one to which people are most resistant. We accept — nay, we embrace — the idea/trope/stereotype that women want nothing more than to find a nice dude to settle down with. And dudes will avoid commitment at all costs, unless they’re dragged kicking and screaming to the altar. This idea is everywhere. A few years ago, there seemed to be a geyser of stories about the problems black women had in finding partners — stories that often seemed based on a flimsy, threadbare premise. (“Resolved: Census data shows there are more black women than black men: RESPOND!”) And sure, those stories made for great happy hour and brunch conversation fodder — and by “great,” I really mean exhausting and eternal — because it allowed everyone to kvetch and generalize and swap dating war stories. But anecdata often make rickety foundations for grand social explanations, even when those ideas rake in the pageviews and book sales. Even when they feel true. Maybe the truth really is that lots of black men really do want to get boo’ed up while lots of black women are ambivalent. Discuss… Continue reading

Let me just start of by saying this was the craziest thing that…

Let me just start of by saying this was the craziest thing that has ever happened to me. I am not a lucky person what so ever and for me to be able to experience being in Justin’s presence is beyond words. My name is Jordyn and I was one of the winners of the Adidas NEO Label Gold Shoes Contest . Being the fan-girl that I am, I was on JustinBieberZone looking at the recent updates on the Biebs and saw that he was involved in a contest with the Adidas NEO Label. If you found the code within that week, you would be entered to win a trip to Miami to meet the one and only Justin Bieber. I figured, “Why not give it a try, it won’t hurt.” I entered the first two weeks and then forgot all about it. After the second week, I start getting tweets from random Bieber accounts saying “CONGRATS ON WINNING!” and I was so confused because I was literally getting so many congratulations about winning something. I scrolled down my mentions and saw that Adidas Neo had tweeted me saying “@jordlynnelias Congratulations! You will be going to Miami to meet Justin Bieber! #FindMyGoldShoes” I had to take a minute to process the fact that this tweet had my name associated with the words “winner”, “Miami” and “Justin Bieber” before I could really understand what I have just won. What was awkward was I was home alone so I had no one to celebrate with! As I was shaking, I called everyone I know and of course not one person believed me. I then got all the details on the trip from Adidas Neo. January 25-27 were the days that I thought couldn’t come soon enough! Finally the day came for my mom and I to leave for Miami. We arrived around 1:00 p.m. and have a private car waiting for us. It was seriously like a movie! At this point my mom and I were nervous thinking the worst possible thing, like they would take us to some torture chamber or something because this trip was still too good to be true. But no, we arrived at the resort with a greeting from two of the sweetest ladies that were hired by Adidas to plan everything out. We got our room keys and were told that there was a “surprise” waiting in my room. I’m thinking “Bieber?!” but I wasn’t that lucky. THE GOLD SHOES were sitting on my bed with a perfect signature that every girl dreams of having. Of course I took 295718357 pictures with them on, and couldn’t stop touching them. It was absolutely incredible. After being spoiled with that amazing gift, we met everyone else who won the contest. I was the ONLY American there! Girls from Germany, Indonesia, Ireland, Thailand, Uruguay, and just about any other country you can think of, it was crazy. It was amazing seeing just how this one boy has affected all of these different girls lives. He was the only thing that all of us had in common. After the first day of surprises were over, Saturday was the day everyone was holding their breath for. This was the day Adidas made 15 girls dreams come to life. We were treated with an Everglades tour and lunch before the concert. Stress came around 2:00 when we all departed from the group to get all pretty to meet what some of us might say, our “idol”. Around 3:45 was when it really hit everyone that we were on our way to meet Justin. As we arrive at the arena, we head straight to will call for our meet and greet bands. “I’m sorry, we do not have Adidas’ wristbands yet, you have to wait 30 minutes” is what 15 anxious beliebers were told by the ticket vendors. This is when full force stress kicked in for all of us. The meet and greet line was piling up fast and we were sitting there even wondering if this was even possible for this to be real. As we were waiting, there was a little perk when one of Justin’s dancers, Johnny came out to get tickets for his family. I was the only on who recognized him so I went up and quietly asked for a picture and he was so sweet about it and said, “Of course” so we took our picture and he proceeded to get his tickets. Finally, they gave us our wristbands and we headed to the end of the line. This was a line of 50 people when we got there but by the time we were done waiting, it was a line of 400 people. There was no way that Justin can meet every single one of these girls in an hour. The line is moving very slow for the first 45 minutes and then the pace starts getting quicker once 7:00 rolled around. I was thrown into a group of 6 people thinking they are going to let us get our own picture with Justin and get stuff signed and not be rushed. Boy was I wrong about that one. “If you want to meet Bieber, you need to pick up the pace, lets go lets go lets go!”  The crew was making this wonderful experience seem like a nightmare. Once I got up to the black curtain, had my phone ready and my Twitter name written on a little piece of paper, “NO PHONES OR PERSONAL ITEMS ALLOWED!” was shouted in my ear. By this point I’m confused. People pay thousands of dollars just for a 5 second meet and greet and to be screamed at like your trying to kill him or something! I walk in the room where a porcelain perfect human was standing with open arms. I take advantage and run up to him wrapping my arms around him saying, “I’ve got to stand next to you!” and he replied “Hi Sweetie! How are you!” as I melted when he placed his arm around my waist for the picture while rubbing my back, “1,2,3 thanks guys”. Security took full force with pushing everyone out of the room but being the rebel that I am, I handed Justin the piece of paper with my Twitter name on it and said, “Please just take this” and so he did. Even though I was man handled by his security and treated like a terrorist, I was still in complete awe that I was in the presence of JUSTIN BIEBER! HE CALLED ME SWEETIE! Like that doesn’t happen everyday. All smiles, we were seated in the front row of the first level which gave us perfect seats. This was where all of his crew would walk by so I was lucky enough to touch Alfredo, Kenny, Scooter, and Jonathan’s (Kim Kardashian’s BFF) hands as they walked by. Justin’s Believe 3D was also being filmed at this concert to that was just another perk about the trip. Justin is probably one of the best performers this world will ever see. Entertainment should be his middle name because that is exactly what he is, an entertainer. Perfection is the only word I can use to describe this experience and I just want to thank you so much Adidas Neo Label, and Justin Bieber for allowing this to happen because it was only a dream, of not only mine but every single girl that had this opportunity. This was MBE and if you haven’t already gotten one, I hope you do because there are no words to describe the feeling of this. You’re a true inspiration to so many out there and I am glad to call you one of mine. Love you Justin! Thank you again! -Jordyn (@ jordlynnelias) Read this article: Let me just start of by saying this was the craziest thing that…

My Bieber experience begins with my saying that I would have NEVER imagined myself writing one of these. I will start off by saying I have always been a huge fan of Justin since he came out with “One Time,” I even made my Twitter because of him. On his My World Tour I went to the Oakland Oracle concert and the HP Pavilion. I fell absolutely in love. It was the best thing I have ever seen. I kept tweeting him and tweeting and finally out of the blue he followed me! I died. I was like running around the house crying because I was so excited. Since then I was always keeping up to date on important events that would be happening. Finally, he released the Believe Tour dates. The day that the tickets were going to go on the “BieberFever” pre-sale, which I’m not a member of, I got a Facebook message from a friend that I met in Hawaii and she loves Justin too. She asked if I was going to be getting tickets that day and I explained to her that I am not a member of the fan club and she went on saying that she would give me the code because you can use it 3 different times . I was totally excited, I was like omg I’m going to get such good tickets. When I went to go look at the packages, I wanted to get the diamond one so I could have floor seats. When they went on sale I tried to get any package I could for a good 20 minutes but nothing was coming up. Finally, I said to my best friend Amanda that I was going to see if meet & greets were available. With the first try I got them and they were front row! The concert was on October 6th 2012 and we had gotten the tickets in April so I was counting down the days. The day had come and I had never had so many emotions all at once. We arrived to the arena at the most perfect time and got right in line. Ryan, who was in charge of the meet & greet had said that Justin was doing charity for Pencils of Promise and he was going to come right when he was done. We had finally made it up to the front and I couldn’t believe this was really happening. Then the curtain got pulled back and I saw Justin. I was so starstruck! He said, “Hi sweetie how are you?” and I said “GOOD! How are you?” and then he said, “Good!” We got our picture taken and I asked him, “Can I have hug?” and he said “Yes! Of course!” Then I had walked out and just started crying. I couldn’t hold it in because I just met the person I had told myself I would never have the chance to meet. We had gotten our signed records and then waited for the doors to open. I just want to say Justin is such a great performer and did and absolutely amazing job. I am beyond blessed. By far, the best day of my life. To all of you saying you can’t meet Justin Bieber, NEVER SAY NEVER, because dreams do come true. -Jenna @jennadanaee More: My Bieber experience begins with my saying that I would have…
