Damn. Homeboy who got fired from 2 Fast 2 Furious makes it 10x harder for black crew. Whenever I work a gig where someone higher up (dir, prod, exec prod) is black, the non-black crew always assumes you got the gig b/c you are part of the "black family" thing. They immediately think you are less qualified and your work is scrutinized. It looks like, from the article, he wasn't qualified anyway which means more scutiny for the rest of us. I hope he got a good settlement b/c he'll never get a studio gig again that's for sure. There's always somebody out there screwing it up for people.

Eva Longoria is tacky as hell. Of course she used free stuff. I'm sure after pimping her wedding pictures, her wedding was free.
