  • I think it's really rude to fire a woman for calling two black employees "jungle bunnies" when swears she didn't know it was offensive. [RR]
  • Brandy's E! True Hollywood Story premieres tomorrow at 6pm. It will probably be pretty boring until the last 10 minutes. [CL]
  • To make matters less interesting, Brandy and Tyrese are not getting married. Did anyone ever believe they were? [C&D]
  • Now that I know Morgan Freeman is playing Nelson Mandela in a new movie, I can't picture another American actor playing the role. Although Angelina Jolie would probably audition. [Variety]
  • Diddy's lashing out over false media reports that he dropped Cassie from Bad Boy. With a voice like that, he could never let her go! [SP]

    i dont get y ur so pissed that Angelina did that role i mean get over t. It was Marianne that wanted her to do the role.She said several times as a matter of fact read this taken from newsweek

    "What was your reaction when she said she wanted to play you?
    She didn't ask me. I asked her.

    Really?
    We had talked a lot and shared a lot of things. We had known each other for about a year, and I just felt that she understood my heart. That is what I wanted. I thought, "If somebody is going to play me, I don't care that she looks like me." It's about something much more important. I asked her because I trusted her."

    Speaking of skin color, there was a lot of uproar about Angelina playing you because she's white. Some people think a woman of color should have played you.

    I am Cuban, but I'm also Dutch. Should a Dutch person play me? It's not about skin color, it's about how a person behaves that matters. Aren't we past this?

    Cassie is one of Bad Boy's more talented artists which isn't saying much. If he's going to be dropping people, there are many others he needs to drop before her. Plus the girl looks good in a two piece.

    Second Jerine's sentiments. There are plenty of African and South African actors who could play Nelson Mandela, who are excellent actors, who look more like him and speak like him.
