Well played...

So I was at the car dealer this morning getting an oil change. I'm still in love with the TB, so she still gets special treatment, gotta love the honeymoon period.

Anyways, I was sitting in the lounge, and CNN Headline News was on. They did a story about Chris Rock having not one, but TWO movies coming out this weekend, something I didn't even realize. So they were interviewing him and I couldn't help but notice the way he was speaking. On the heels of the "white sounding" issues I've been having, I was watching Chris (Rock, not my brother) and couldn't help but note that his speech had changed. The person CNN was interviewing wasn't the stand up Chris Rock or the Chris Rock I saw on B.E.T. the other day, or even the 'Chris Rock Show' Chris Rock, this was a totally different guy. He sounded white. And I mean W-H-I-T-E, the kind that gives even me a run for the money. It seemed so fake, and it bothered me. I felt like he wasn't being himself. Weird.

So then I did a comparison of his interview with 106 & Park and the CNN interview. Day and night, the differences. Maybe he was nervous on CNN and wanted to be professional, but we're talking about the guy who dissed Jude Law at the Oscars. Either way, he's got two movies comin' out this weekend, Madagascar and (as if I had to tell you) The Longest Yard. Check 'em out, make him richer and see if he pulls a Chris Tucker on us...

Either way, he's got two movies out, hosted the Oscars and has enumerous comedy specials and movies under his belt, so I can't hate. Well played, Mr. Rock, well played.

Is That Eyeliner You're Wearing, Charlie Day?

So I was watching It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia a few weeks ago when I noticed that Charlie 's eyes were so prominent. He's a funny little man whose antics never fail to please so I pushed it to the back of my mind. I know people wear eyeliner to bring out the expression in their eyes because the lighting drowns it out, whatever floats your boat. And you never know, he may have REALLY pretty eyes that just look like he's wearing eyeliner. Then I was watching last night and realized there was no DOUBT Charlie was wearing eyeliner and I couldn't shake it. It really took me out of it. Nonethless, the show was AWESOME and I don't care if Charlie's a cross-dressing salad tosser's bitch, I'd watch him any time. Check it out, cuz it's quite possibly the best TV I've seen in a while.

Late Registration

I was on the phone with Wendy last night when she told me to tune in to NBC. They were having the telethon to raise relief for Hurricane Katrina. Now I haven't discussed the hurricane for personal reasons, but I will say that the devasatation caused by the storm is heartbreaking and I am sad to see all the pain it has caused. That being said, back to the story. So we were watching the telethon when Kanye West and Mike Myers (Austin Powers) came on. Mike read what the teleprompter said and then Kanye began his part. Except Kanye didn't read the prompter, he went off on his own rant about how he went shopping before he donated and he was gonna find out the maximum he could donate, bl-bl-bluh. Though what he was saying was very true, it sounded like he was really battling with his own guilt as opposed to expressing his dischord with how the situation was being handled. I was ignoring him when ya boy capped off the segment with "George Bush does not care about black people....
