I cannot wait to see the sequel to the Tyler Perry hit, "Why Did I Get Married?", which was by FAR my favorite movie of his. I think that he tapped into a unspoken dynamic of black love, and the problems that black couples go through in everyday life.
This trailer has me SOOOOO excited to see this movie, and I feel like this is going to be Tyler Perry's best work yet...& will make some of his naysayers realize his genius as a playwright and filmmaker. It hits theaters April 2nd.
Last week, Chris Brown also came forward (again) to speak on the incident with Rihanna in February (again).
Honestly, I feel that people have already made up their minds about the situation. If they are gonna continue to support Chris Brown, they will and if they won't, they won't. There is no further apology needed because people have such strong feelings about the situation and some people feel like he is giving excuses.
I do like the fact that he has taken responsibility for the incident and it seems that he is working on his internal problems that he may have. He has been doing the court-ordered community service and been attending anger management classes. However, I do feel like he is going OVERBOARD on the interview tip. He needs to just sit down and finish his album, and try to hold onto the little bit of fans that he has left (like ME).
I think that all he needs is to get back to producing music and work on repairing his image, but I don't mean going on TV every chance that he gets (i.e. John Gosselin). For me, as long as he makes good music and keeps a low profile from a legal standpoint, he should be fine and get some of his fans back. However, I do think that it is gonna take some SERIOUS time for that to happen. This interview might be a way to tell his side and how he has changed, but it is also TOO convenient that his album also has an upcoming release on December 8th.
Rihanna recently spoke out to Diane Sawyer on 20/20 about the incident between her and Chris Brown last February.
First of all, I do not condone domestic violence of any kind. Like Oprah said, "Love doesn't hurt", but I do feel that Rihanna was a little bit arrogant in the interview, and didn't take responsibility for her part in the incident. I do feel that she was well spoken and I commend her for being able to talk about it so openly now, but I think that she was holding back a little bit and took some jabs @ Chris Brown that were unnecessary. She used the interview to be a positive example to women in her same situation, and instead she tried to make it seem that she was 0% responsible.
She admitted that they were very much in love, and being in love with her best friend made them "EQUALLY dangerous for each other. It was a bit of an obsession". That comment made me feel some kinda way IMMEDIATELY. In my eyes, it was a confession that she was infatuated with Chris, and it probably led to some suspect behavior. Maybe she was possessive towards him or maybe she was just aggravating, but that is just as big of a factor as the domestic violence of both of their pasts is. She held back to me in the fact that she should have taken more responsibility for the situation. To not take that responsibility and be able to admit her involvement in the incident made me look at her in a different way.
“I caught him in a lie. And he wouldn’t tell the truth … I was being more annoyed at that point in our relationship
he had to lie about something so stupid. I couldn’t take that he kept lying to me. And he couldn’t take that I wouldn’t drop it. And … it was ugly.
Another thing that made me upset was the fact that she said that she was humiliated because of the photo that was taken by police and leaked to the press. I cannot put myself in her situation and say what I would have said or that I would not be ashamed, but I feel that she should use it to help other girls who are being abused and do not know what to do. You cannot control who you fall in love with, and you also cannot control that person's actions. She should have made this situation better for other girls and women and used herself as an example for them to help them get away from their situations.
She began to explain how she realized that she was in influence for young girls and she was being selfish for choosing love instead of the right thing, but she made it about her instead of leaving with the message of hope for the young girls.
I also thought that it was a little too BIG of a coincidence that her new album, Rated R is set to be released November 20th.
