Laurence Fishburne Says Justin Bieber Acts 'Black-ish'

Image
Widely adorned actor and producer Laurence Fishburne paid a visit to The View to speak on his new show Black-ish, and why Justin Bieber's aggressive behavior makes him the perfect representation of race relations in modern society. Fishburne, who is the executive producer behind the show, says the meaning behind 'Black-ish' is all about preference. While some people believe the name represents African Americans "acting white," he says Justin Bieber is the perfect definition of the term. "I think of it this way -- two words: Justin Bieber," he said. "Justin Bieber acts 'black-ish,' but he doesn't get shot by the police. He gets a police escort home." He also explains that Bieber embraces urban culture, but isn't faced with the same troubles young black males face from higher institutions such as the police. "People are afraid of the dark," he said. "People have been conditioned, that's just it." 'Black...

Porn Star Breaks Both Legs During Escape From Awful Sex Torture

Image
A Russian porn star who goes by the stage name of Lolita Taylor, managed a daring escape that resulted in her breaking both of her legs after she was violently raped by two men.   The 22-year-old adult film star was lured into an apartment by two men who pretended to want to discuss a potential business deal with her, when in reality all they wanted was her body. She was sadly raped for hours before managing to break free from the sexual torment and literally jumped off of the third floor balcony to the ground below.   Lolita was thankfully found by a 54-year-old man named Blasius Vinogradov, who just so happened to be walking his dog.  She was bleeding in various places when Blasius discovered her, and was taken promptly to a nearby hospital to be treated.  Thankfully, police were able to apprehend the two men - 30-year-old Dmitry Kosenkov, and 33-year-old Maksim Pilipenko.

Snoop Still "Ain't F**king" w/ Iggy Azalea; Rejects Collab Idea

Image
Last week, Iggy Azalea was leaving LAX airport when TMZ asked if she'd ever consider working on a track with Snoop Dogg, whom she had a brief back-and-forth with two weeks ago. She rolled her eyes at the question and said the chances are slim to none. TMZ recently caught Snoop leaving the same airport and asked him the same question: whether or not he'd be interested in collaborating with Iggy. His response was far less politically correct, as he began singing the hook to Big Sean's current smash "I Don't F**k With You," even including the line, "you little stupid a** b***h, I ain't f**king with you," as he walked to the car. When asked again if he'd collaborate with Grand Hustle's first lady, he simply said "for what?" Source:  TMZ

Image
A recent Facebook photo posted by "International Adult Companion" Shauna Brooks sitting in Chris Brown's driveway immediately sent Breezy fans into a frenzy, mainly because she is transexual, leaving the public wondering exactly what she and Breezy were up to. Brooks recently spoke out about the picture, saying she did spend the night at Chris' Virginia home, but only because she was invited to the house party and that there was absolutely no funny business. "Breezy's party was a blast and he was a great host," she said. She admitted in the interview that she has been intimate with several well-known celebs as an escort, but that the "New Flame" singer isn't one of them. She actually said she respects Brown more now knowing that he isn't ignorant enough to judge her based on the fact that she's transexual. "The issue is that people are ignorant out of fear and then bash who and what they don't understand," she said. ...

Image
Raven-Symone's "I'm not African American" comment set off a firestorm of reactions from fans ever since the footage from her interview was released on Oprah's OWN "Where Are They Now" show.

She advised everyone who has anything negative to say about her to keep their foul remarks to themselves.   Vladtv.com

How to watch 2K and 1080p YouTube videos on your Note 4

The newer versions of the official YouTube app don't let you choose any resolution over 720p, and on the 2K display of the Note 4 , with its powerful silicon inside, this is a crying shame. It's certainly a chore to have to choose the desktop mode of mobile Chrome, and hope that a 1440p video will load and run full screen without hiccups, so what's one Note 4 owner to do? Well, you can always revert to an older version of the YouTube app, and choose the 2K options from there, instead of relying on half-baked shenanigans. It's not as simple as it sounds, though, you can't just load the last YouTube app version that had the 1080p and 1440p options built in, so here's what you need to do: 1. Needless to say, you need to root your Note 4 first, so as to uninstall the default YouTube app, just disabling it from the app drawer menu won't work. Chainfire has a quick root method, as usual, if you are wondering what to do. 2.  Download the YouTube v.5.9.0.13 apk  dir...

When Raven-Symone boldly stated during a previous interview with Oprah that she doesn't consider herself to be "African American," but rather just American without a racial association added to her image, fans immediately pounced on her for not acknowledging her Black roots.   When asked by Larry King about his thoughts on her statements, T.I. actually cosigned Raven's perception of herself rather than bash her.  T.I. believes that Raven made an "incredible point," and that her way of thinking provides herself and others with more of a unified mindframe, instead of always trying to create forms of separation amongst society.
