In between applications of lipstick from his Madea drag persona, Tyler Perry found time to take a dive in the action film genre. The question of the day here is can the man who made an old granny a cult phenom pull off being a action film star? Hmmmm... For me the jury is still out. But by taking a look at the trailer for Alex Cross, he definitely seemed to pay no nevermind to the nay-sayers. Take a look at the trailer and tell me what you think.
If you find yourself wondering what is legendary blues/gospel singer and mother of the late Whitney Houston, Cissy, is doing you can find her at the nearest Newark baptist church. Probably somewhere between a garbage dump and funeral parlor, Mother Houston is meticulously going over some scales and coughing out some rasp in preparation for a tribute for the ages in honor of dear Nippy at the upcoming BET Awards.
“I’m not naive to that fact. That’s pretty much how I was introduced to the world. It was a negative way, so I felt like I really had to work ten times harder to get people to see the real me.”

Usually I wouldn't really care about tales of LeToya Luckett and her webisode that's covering God knows what. Don't get me wrong, I like LeToya and I think she is a pretty lady, but I hadn't really checked for her since Torn dropped. But I did find one of her episodes especially poignant.
Wayne Coyne: “To all the haters who think Erykah Badu has lost her mind!!! She has NOT!!! The Flaming Lips take full responsibility .. For the making of and the content of the controversial video !!! We are very sorry if it has offended some of Erykah Badu’s more Conservative audience! The video was intended for mature audiences and is NOT an Erykah Badu statement.. It is a Flaming Lips video!!!”
Erykah Badu:“3:33pm dallas @waynecoyne then… perhaps, next time u get an occasion to work with an artist who respects your mind/art, you should send at least a ROUGh version of the video u PLAN to release b4 u manipulate or compromise the artist’s brand by desperately releasing a poor excuse for shock and nudity that sends a convoluted message that passes as art( to some).
Even with Window Seat there was a method and thought process involved. I have not one need for publicity . I just love artistic dialogue . And just because an image is shocking does not make it art.
You obviously have a misconception of who I am artistically. I don’t mind that but…
By the way you are an ass.
Yu did everything wrong from the on set .
First:
You showed me a concept of beautiful tasteful imagery( by way of vid text messages) .
I trusted that. I was mistaken.
Then u release an unedited, unapproved version within the next few days.
That all spells 1 thing ,
Self Serving .
When asked what the concept
meant after u explained it , u replied ,”it doesn’t mean anything , I just want to make a great video that everyone is going to watch. ”
I understood , because as an artist we all desire that. But we don’t all do it at another artist’s expense .
I attempted to resolve this respectfully by having conversations with u after the release but that too proved to be a poor excuse for art.
From jump,
You begged me to sit in a tub of that other shit and I said naw. I refused to sit in any liquid that was not water. But Out of RESPECT for you and the artist you ‘appear’ to be, I Didn’t wanna kill your concept , wanted u to at least get it out of your head . After all, u spent your dough on studio , trip to Dallas etc.. Sooo, I invited Nayrok , my lil sis and artist, who is much more liberal ,to be subject of those other disturbing (to me ) scenes . I told u from jump that I believed your concept to be disturbing. But would give your edit a chance.
You then said u would take my shots ( in clear water/ fully covered parts -seemed harmless enough) and Nayrok’s part ( which I was not present for but saw the photos and a sample scene of cornstarch dripping ) and edit them together along with cosmic, green screen images ( which no one saw) then would show me the edit. .
Instead, U disrespected me by releasing pics and rough vid on the internet without my approval. (Contract breech )
That is equivalent to putting out a security camera’s images of me changing in the fitting room.
I never would have approved that tasteless, meaningless, shock motivated video .
Our art is a reflection of who we are . I have no connection to those images shot in their raw version. I was interested in seeing an amazing edit that would perhaps change or alter my thoughts . Never happened .
You also did the same thing with the song itself which displays crappy “rough “vocals by me . I let it go , perhaps iiiii was missing something, I thought.
I Should have followed my first mind back in studio when recording the vocals “your way”.
( Red flag.) It was uncomfortable.
For that I am at fault .
Consequently, brother, As a human I am disgusted with your what appears to be desperation and poor execution. And disregard for others . As a director I am unimpressed . As a sociologist I understand your type. As your fellow artist I am uninspired. As a woman I feel violated and underestimated.
Hope it works out for ya ,Wayne.
Really i could give a shit less.
Still love your live show tho.
And , you’re welcomed.
Lesson learned .
By the way I have guested in very few videos. But I have always been given the opportunity to see the edit and contribute to it when my roll is substantial. Not this time .
I guess u feel it better to apologize than ask for permission and be refused . Hey, Love u man, but your ways are not very nice .
O, And on behalf of all the artists u have manipulated or plan to manipulate, find another way .
These things have been said out of necessity.
And if you don’t like it
you can KiSS MY Glittery ASS .
O and Nayrok told me to tell u to kiss her ass too .”
Almost forgot. –Peace, Ms. Badu (Analog Girl’s Magnetic Strip Club)
The shade of it all....Wayne Coyne: (insert picture of glittered lips) "Hey @fatbellybella I kissed it!!! Thanks!!!!! [SOURCE]

"It really is just me pouring my heart into the record, and I think my fans deserve that. I really had to be in a comfortable place, and I really am and I'm excited about it, that's the beauty of music. Music is like really being able to express yourself. I wanted to make sure that I expressed myself in the best way that I could, and I let the music also be a healing process for me at points. There's a lot of happy moments as well, so that's what it's about. That's music. You laugh, you cry, you dance, you love, you hurt, you feel all kinds of things. That's the beauty of music."Can Ciara recover the fame gained in the beginning of her career? Here's my prediction. Although I believe that Ciara is very talented, the market has become so over-saturated with R&B vixens. With the likes of Beyoncé and Rihanna running the game, its hard to say where Ciara will be placed in the shake-your-ass dynamic. Even veterans like Monica are struggling to retain their footing. Judging from what is being deemed her first single 'Sweat', it seems like business as usual for the doll. Ciara is going to have to come harder than these synthesized hip-hop dance tracks. It's broke, fix it! Judge for yourselves....
