Tony Award-winning playwright and performer Sarah Jones ( Bridge & Tunnel ) returns to the New York stage as a dazzling medley of characters in Sell/Buy/Date , an exuberant new show, directed by Drama Desk Award winner Carolyn Cantor ( Fly By Night ), inspired by the real-life experiences of people affected by the sex industry. Brimming with Jones’ masterful, multicultural characterizations, Sell/Buy/Date presents an honest, moving and even humorous look at a complex and fascinating subject, all while preserving the full humanity of voices seldom heard in the theater. We caught up with the talented actress to learn more about her new show, and why this important topic needed to be heard and seen on the stage. Bossip: Your new play is inspired by the real-life experiences of people affected by the sex industry, why take on this topic and theme? Sarah Jones: Growing up, I remember noticing how much we treat sex as taboo and dirty, something “nice girls” couldn’t really talk about. Yet boys could be boys, with sex as a sign of their manhood, and never be considered sluts. Then, as I got older I saw how often women involved in the sex trade were shamed, punished and criminalized, even when they had been forced into it by terrible circumstances. Bossip: In what ways did you prepare for your role? Did you talk with sex workers, interview them, or did you spend time getting involved in their world by going undercover? Sarah Jones: Lots of ways–starting with back when I was teaching poetry workshops to young girls of color in the high school on Rikers Island in NYC, and I realized how many of them were accused of “soliciting” or prostitution. But most of them were so young, any sex act with them should have been considered rape. So, I saw the double standards at play and I wanted to learn more. For Sell/Buy/Date I interviewed many girls and women from around the country and the world, from India to Korea to Sweden — the issue of treating girls and women terribly in the sex trade, whether we call it commercial sexual exploitation or sex work, is one thing we all have in common. Bossip: What important lessons or insights did you learn about those in the sex industry? Who were the people most affected by the sex industry, i.e., families, children, women, or any specific ethnic or racial group? Sarah Jones: Whoever is already most vulnerable in general in any society–for example, in America if the girl is poor, of color, a trans-person–these are the people over-represented in the sex trade. And, because of a culture that has portrayed prostitution as harmless, (except to demean the prostituted people themselves) many of us look away instead of thinking of these women and girls as our sisters and daughters, valuable members of our communities. And, we have barely begun to talk about whether women can choose sex work in an empowered way–especially when women in general still don’t have full equality. Bossip: What do you want viewers to take away from this play, and about the sex industry? Sarah Jones: That sex and empowerment and exploitation are all tied in together and are much more a part of our daily lives and culture than we realize or talk about openly in healthy ways. If we are willing to look at it together through a creative conversation that goes deeper and also maintains a sense of humor and hope, we can make sure we are all healthier and more empowered around our sexuality. Bossip: Why do think society still is afraid to talk openly about sex, and the sex industry? Sarah Jones: I remember noticing in every buddy cop or action movie I ever watched, the wise-cracking black and Latinx prostitutes were a staple–but always in a dehumanized way. And, messages about women as hoes and objects, whether from Hip Hop artists or White politicians “p***y grabbing”, they’re everywhere. If we don’t open up about them, it keeps us in fear, which in some ways benefits the culture of alienation that we see polarizing the country today. I’m no conspiracy theorist, but I recognize divide and conquer when I see it. Talking about sex and the sex industry is connected to talking about women’s equality, and as we know, some people don’t want to see that yet in our country. Sell/Buy/Date is currently Off-Broadway and runs until Sunday, December 3rd. Tickets are on sale by calling CityTix at 212-581-1212, online by visiting www.nycitycenter.org , or by visiting the New York City Center box office (131 West 55 th Street).

Soulja Boy & Yachty Ringtone Rap legend Soulja Boy and everyone’s favorite mumbly bozo Lil Yachty are currently tangled in the worst beef ever over InstaBaddie India Love that spilled onto social media and spiraled into a never-ending battle of lameness without any winners. Hit the flip for the funniest (and pettiest) reactions to the Soulja Boy-Yachty beef.
Kenneth Bone: Man. Myth. Rocker of boss-ass red sweaters. If you somehow haven’t heard about Ken Bone by now, then you have our condolences. Fortunately, it’s not too late to get brought up to speed on the most important political figure of the 21st century. We understand that sounds like an exaggeration, but if anything, we should expand it to include the 20th century. Hell, we’ll throw the last couple decades of the 19th in there while we’re at it. Suck it, Grover Cleveland! Anyway, in case you missed the second presidential debate on Sunday night, Donald Trump didn’t win. But neither did Hillary Clinton. So who emerged victorious? You guessed it – the big homey Kenneth Bone won the debate by an overwhelming margin. (They decide these things by who inspired the most memes, right?) While Trump and Clinton fought for your vote for 90 minutes, Mr. Bone stole the nation’s heart with just 30 seconds of screen time: Kenneth Bone Asks Presidental Debate Question Now, he’s reaping the rewards of overnight fame. He’s been on talk shows; he’s racked up 174,000 Twitter followers, and even stars like Courtney Stodden want to bone Kenneth . Now, in perhaps the surest sign that the man is a full-blown Internet sensation, a sexy Ken Bone Halloween costume offered on the website Yandy.com sold out almost instantly! “It was clear before the debate had even ended who the real star was that night,” Yandy.com CEO Chad Horstman said in a statement. “The Ken Bone phenomenon has only picked up speed since, and we knew right away that a sexy costume version would be in huge demand this Halloween season.” Yes, it seems the whole world wants in on #TheBoneZone these days. He’s been dubbed the new Harambe , and Instagram personality @shitheadsteve makes a case for why Bone is actually superior to the late ape when it comes to inspiring memes: It’s hard to put Mr. Bone’s appeal into words. His debate appearance was pure lightning in a bottle – the sort of thing that can never be recreated. The ‘stache, the sweater, the hilariously pun-able name… All of these things are part of the fascination, but Kenneth is more than the sum of his parts. Now, the only question is – who will Ken Bone vote for ? He’s still undecided, but we’re guessing by Election Day, one of the candidates will enjoy a #BoneBounce.
Well, this sure is an interesting development … As you’ve surely heard by now, Drake and Rihanna are no longer together . (It’s OK to cry — better out than in, you know.) According to a report that was released about the breakup, “Rihanna and Drake are seeing other people at the moment. They are not exclusive anymore.” One of those “other people,” the report claimed, is reality star India Love. “Drake and India Love have been hooking up for at least a few weeks,” it seems. But even so, Drake and Rihanna “still love each other,” it’s just that “their schedules have gotten in the way.” Does it feel like you’re on an emotional roller coaster? That’s because you are. This upsetting little report ends by stating that even though India Love somehow worked herself into the picture, “anything can change between” Drake and Rihanna, “for better or for worse.” So basically just expect the unexpected, know that circumstances are keeping these two apart, not their hearts , and that the world in an unjust hellscape where true love simply cannot thrive. Sounds great. And now that you know all that, know that Drake hopped on Instagram last night to be vague and upsetting. He posted that photo, and here’s his weird little caption: “Too mix up in drama to free my mind but I’m praying for you even in your darkest times.” He tacked on a skull emoji at the end there, so that seems like a good sign. So is this little message directed at Rihanna? After all, a celebrity breakup brings nothing if not drama, and you know that he’s always going to love her, so it wouldn’t be surprising for him to say that he’s praying for her. It’s also worth pointing out that the word on the street is that Chris Brown is going after Rihanna hard now that she’s single , and if that isn’t cause to pray for someone, then who even knows what is. So is this what it’s come to for this former couple? Just a couple of months ago, Drake was professing his love for Rihanna at the VMAs , and now all we have are passive aggressive social media posts? Oh, what time can do … View Slideshow: Celebrity Breakups of 2016: Who Entered Splitsville?

Muslim Family Beaten And Raped After Accused Of Eating Meat A 20-year-old Muslim woman claims that she and her 14-year-old cousin were gang raped and two relatives murdered, after being accused of consuming beef reports BBC : The woman, 20, told the BBC that four men carried out the attack in northern Haryana state two weeks ago. She denied consuming beef. She said the men beat her uncle and aunt to death in their home in Mewat. Many Hindus consider cows sacred and the slaughter of the animal is banned in several states, including Haryana. The suspects have been arrested and charged with rape and murder. However police have told reporters that there is no evidence to suggest that cow protection groups were involved in the attack. Although the alleged rape took place two weeks ago, news of the incident has only just come out. “They [the accused men] said that we ate cow meat and that is why we were being disgraced [raped]. They even threatened to kill me and my family if we ever told anybody what happened to us,” the woman told BBC Urdu. Rape and gender crimes have been in the spotlight in India in recent years after the brutal gang rape and murder of a student in 2012 in Delhi. Allah take the wheel!!!!! Continue reading →
