Poor Thang: Singer Lorde Says People Attacked Her For Being In A Swirly Relationship With A Chinese Man

Lorde said the internet wasn’t feeling her Asian boo thang… Lorde Attacked For Relationship With Chinese Man Via LA Times reports: The songwriter also addressed the media maelstrom that transpired in November when a photo of her in a bikini surfaced showing her with boyfriend, James Lowe, a 24-year-old of Chinese descent. “When I heard about the photos, I was like, ‘now there will be a bunch of people on the Internet talking about what my ass looks like.’ ” Instead, the haters compared him to the “Chinese exchange student from ’16 Candles’ ” and Chinese leader Mao Tse Tung. The reaction surprised her, given the diverse community she lives in in Auckland. “You almost wonder about humans,” she said. “That’s why the reaction comes as such a surprise to me. No one I know would even think this was a big deal.” That’s not to say that she-of-the-dark-lips doesn’t still get starstruck. “When I meet people whose music I really inspire, and they may be a little bit famous, I still get the little, ‘Holy crap! This person wants to talk to me.’ And I think when you stop having that feeling, and you’re like ‘Oh, of course they do,’ then maybe you’re not who you were anymore,” she said. “I think what’s so cool about an artist like Drake is it’s rare for people to get to that level and still write about their day-to-day and how that makes them feel. There’s something very unflinching about that, but also just so, so interesting.” Haters gon’ hate! IG

Kanye West: I’m Not a Lunatic!

Kanye West is under investigation for allegedly hurling numerous punches at some racist idiot who spewed hate toward Kim Kardashian last week. But in the new issue of Interview, the rapper shoots down talk of himself as any kind of crazy person and blames the media for how he’s unfairly portrayed. Says West to 12 Years a Slave director Steve McQueen: “People are strategically trying to do things to mute my voice in some way or make me look like I’m a lunatic or pinpoint the inaccuracies in my grammar to somehow take away from the overall message of what I’m saying.” Kanye also touches on the infamous Bound 2 music video , which features him and Kim nearly simulating sex on a motorcycle. “I think people are afraid of dreams, and that video is one of the closest things to the way that dreams look and feel, or the way joy looks and feels, with the colors.” Sure. Possibly. We guess. Kanye concludes that the only risk for him is “not taking one” and that he’s clearly been successful throughout his career. “Only one of two things can happen: either I’m gonna be right or I’m gonna be wrong. But if you look at the past 10 years, I’ve been right.” Visit the official Interview website for more and toggle through some of West’s best rants now: 8 Best Kanye West Rants Open Slideshow 1.

Lena Dunham Responds to Vogue Photoshop Controversy: Who Cares?!?

Lena Dunham covers the latest issue of Vogue , marking the first time this writer/producer/actress has graced the front of a national fashion magazine. Cause for celebration, right? Or cause for celebration, according to some. In an attempt to defend Dunham as “a woman who trumpets body positivity, Jezelbel paid $10,000 to Vogue for the star’s untouched images from her new spread. The website received them… and then printed a couple of the photos in order to depict just how the publication edited Dunham’s eyes, chin, cleavage and other areas. To wit: In the end, writs Jezebel, Dunham’s pics “were not drastically altered,” but “it’s important to remember how unforgiving the media is when it comes to images of women.” It adds: “Men are generally allowed to have pores and wrinkles; women are supposed to be “perfect” — a state that does not exist.” Mother Jones’ co-editor Clara Jeffery, meanwhile, wrote on Twitter: “If [Lena]’s given us an image of a real woman on Girls, and they altered — perhaps without her consent, isn’t that a paradox that should be explored?” Not according to Dunham herself. Her Twitter take on the whole ordeal? Some shit is too ridiculous to engage. Let’s use our energy wisely, 2014. In other words: go watch Girls online and relax, folks.

The Golden Globes Were Last Night of the Day

I am in Los Angeles, and like me, a lot of people in Los Angeles, don’t give a fuck about the Golden Globes or their bullshit parties you would think would put any other city in lock down. If anything, the rest of the world cares so fucking much about these bullshit self righteous things, you know events to celebrate people who have already won, in movies that are generally pretty devoid of any artistic merit, that the perception is that it is a bigger deal than it actually is….I blame the media and you should too. I didn’t crash any parties, I did get stuck in traffic cuz I took a wrong turn in front of the venue the event was at, accidentally, and I did watch 5 minutes of the bullshit to see that none of those white people thanked Jesus Christ their lord and saviour…. I saw the list of winners, they were all the expected choices, because I guess the Hollywood Foreign press is paid off by the same people, and really unless you were a winner last night and your career is going to turn the fuck around because of it, you have no real reason to care…. That said, the team in the stepFORUM did a round up of everything Golden Globes, so if you are into these over paid cunts in dresses thinking they are a big deal, you’ll love it. Here are some Golden Globes Cleavage Pics to Round Up the Globes of the Golden Globes and the Parties…because the speeches and winners don’t matters..but the titties do…. Sofia Vegara Vanessa Hudgens at Some Party – There’s No Way She Was At the Awards…. Taylor Swift Mila Kutcher Heidi Klum Kaley Cuoco Kate Mara Nina Dobrev Jenna Dewan-Tatum Kate Beckinsale… Kate Graham – Booty is Globes Too There are a hell of a lot more…so CLICK THIS LINK TO SEE A MEGA GOLDEN GLOBES ROUND-UP…I AM TALKING 20 PAGES OF PICS FROM EVERY PARTY, RED CARPET, ALL THINGS GOLDEN GLOBES

Thirst Traps: Tyrese Tells Women To Stop Posting Slorey Azz & Tidday Pics Online For Attention

Is Tyrese fair or foul for giving women a ho sit down? Tyrese Tells Women To Stop Posting Scandalous Pics Online Via UB Magazine reports: Tyrese has always been known to express his views openly on his social media accounts, and although some of his tweets got him into some serious trouble sometime last year (remember those infamous comments on obese people), he hasn’t taken a break from letting the world in on where he stands on controversial topics. If you’re on Instagram, you’ve probably noticed the good and bad about the social media phone application, with the bad being that it pretty much highlights the vanity and insecurities of lots of people. Kim Kardashian was busted recently for altering her latest booty snap with Black Chyna (of course her rep denies the photo has been altered to make her look thinner), but Tyrese seems to feel like the pure fact alone that so many women are putting their bodies on display as of late for likes and comments is something he’s not too fond of. Tyrese posted this message on his Facebook fan page firing shots at you attention slorin’ ladies: But… For someone who started their career showing off their bangin’ baaaaawdy for attention and money, you would think Tyrese would be a little less judgmental when it came to the ladies. Do you thnk there is a double standard for women or is Ty right? Facebook Continue reading

In White Folks News: ‘Young & The Restless’ Veteran Puts Young Co-Star In Check For Lying About Getting Him Fired

“Don’t throw rocks at the throne…” Eric Braden Shoots Down Rumors He Got Michael Muhney Fired “Young & The Restless” soap opera star Michael Muhney shocked viewers and fans when he took to his Twitter towards the end of 2013 to confirm that he’d been fired from the show. Muhney, who played Adam Newman during his 5-year stint on the show, has since been making his media rounds and suggesting that his veteran co-star Eric Braden aka “Victor Newman” was partly to blame for his holiday pink-slip. Papa Newman initially remained silent as his on-screen son continued with the allegations, but he’s now spoken out to Radar Online to shut down his on-screen youngin.’ via Radar Online The cast and crew of hit soap The Young & The Restless are in turmoil, in the wake of star Michael Muhney being fired for allegedly groping the breasts of his costar Hunter King multiple times. Now, in an unprecedented move, veteran actor Eric Braeden — best known for his role as Victor Newman on the soap since 1980 — has come forward exclusively to RadarOnline.com in a bid to set the record straight about rumors that he played a role in the termination of Muhney, 38. RadarOnline.com: Sources have told Radar that your relationship with Michael Muhney was contentious at times. Why was it? Eric Braeden: I welcomed Michael Muhney when he came here. He is a great actor. We did have our differences, but for anyone to say that I had him fired is a lie. I have always thought he was a very good actor and told him so. Towards the end, Muhney and I did have our differences and had a shouting match, no question. During that shouting match, all kinds of things were said. I won’t go into detail about it. I don’t remember the specifics of who said what but what I do recall is that I was prompted to get into ‘fisticuffs’ with him because he wanted me off the show, if you want to know the truth. That is about as far as I will go. That is it. It was a campaign to get me off the show. It was Muhney who wanted to get me off the show and he expressed that to various people. Radar: Why did he want you off the show? EB: He wanted me off the show because he wanted to be head honcho. In his words, I was the old lion and he was the young lion. I welcomed that guy, as I said. (I told him), ‘You are very good at what you do, keep your nose clean and stay out of everyone else’s business and just do your job.’ Radar: Was Michael Muhney his own worst enemy? EB: Yes, of course. He has no one else to blame but himself and he said as much when he left… to several people and I respect that he did that. He apologized for his ambition and his desire to become the guy, the young lion, pushing away the old lion. The last day he was here, he apologized to me, you bet. Radar: What did you think about Michael’s comments to the Huffington Post? EB: He is a very good actor and should keep his mouth shut. I don’t need to listen to the drivel that comes out of that person’s mouth. If there are any truth as to the allegations that got him fired, then this dude dug his own grave. From the sounds of things, “Adam Newman” is just as much of a mess in real life as he was on the show!  You can check out the full interview with Eric Braden HERE . Continue reading

LisaRaye Goes In About Black Women Acting A Fool On Reality TV – “I Don’t Appreciate It…Kids Are Watching!”

LisaRaye says her playing a skripper for a movie role isn’t as bad as black women acting a fool on reality tv…do you agree? LisaRaye Addresses Negative Portrayal Of Black Women On Reality TV Actress LisaRaye has been making her media rounds recently in anticipation of the new season of”Single Ladies,” and she recently gave her two cents on the often negative representation of black women on reality tv. via S2S Magazine She’s portrayed a stripper once or twice, but LisaRaye McCoy recently clarified that the roles she accepts as an actress are one thing, and being turnt up on reality TV is another. “I have a skill. I’m an actress. So, that means anytime the writers write something, I breathe the life into those words. That’s my part of the job,” she told Sister 2 Sister. “Reality ain’t never been that. Reality is, ‘Turn the camera on. Act the fool if you will or do what you want and we’re going to film this.’” Despite having her own reality show on TVOne at one point, Ms. McCoy also says she would never engage in violent behavior for the sake of the camera. “Single Ladies,” which returns to VH1 next year, is one of the network’s few scripted series, and it features successful, liberated, stylish women of color living the high life in Atlanta. In contrast, Lisa said reality shows don’t portray women in such a flattering light. “I almost feel like when given an opportunity or a check, we’ll sing and dance, and it’s like, ‘I thank ya, master,’” she said. “I don’t appreciate it as a woman because, you know, kids are watching this.” “People are walking over tables and slapping people. I’m thinking that would never happen to me because there wouldn’t be no more show. It would be over after that. I couldn’t understand that fighting and the cussing,” said Lisa who starred in her own TV One reality show. Hmmm. Do you agree with LisaRaye that actresses who agree to play raunchy or violent characters in scripted projects aren’t as bad as women on reality TV who engage in similar behavior? Let’s discuss, Bossip fam.
