King Baby

I thought dude had a better body. When he took his clothes off to rape that dream girl he had saggy butt cheeks and tiddays.

http://www.slantmagazine.com/film/review/why-did-i-get-married-too/4752 For the prolific Tyler Perry, Why Did I Get Married Too? is nothing if not more of the same. Continuing the couples therapy session of the preceding Why Did I Get Married? (a film adapted from the successful stage play of the same name), this dramatically heavy sequel stands as perhaps the most encompassing example to date of the writer-director's strengths and weaknesses, which together represent less in the way of outright mediocrity than a deliberately unchallenging, mass-appeal oriented style. Even when the iconic Madea is absent (as she is here), Perry's films can be likened to feature-length sitcoms free of a distinctive aesthetic, narratively predictable and fated to easy resolutions. Which is not to say that his storytelling skills aren't expert in their execution, if occasionally irresponsible in their creative choices. Nevertheless, and with rare exceptions, Why Did I Get Married Too? suggests a creator overly comfortable with his craft and willing to coast by on his former successes. That Perry retains his knack for the occasionally beauteous, quotidian image (an elderly couple framed against the night sky, their being ever so slightly out of focus suggesting an angelic presence) suggests less in the way of creative choices than mere happy accidents. Perry's wide-appeal aim is most apparent in the archetypal characters and their respectively familiar relationships, here a group designed to go off at intervals like a ticking bomb: the super-controlling Angela (Tasha Smith) and her hotshot husband Marcus (Michael Jai White); the career-woman, Patricia (Janet Jackson), whose professional exterior masks a widening schism in her marriage with the introverted Gavin (Malik Yoba); the apparently peachy Dianne (Sharon Leal) and Terry (Perry), whose mutually comfortable resolve hides growing strains; the recently married Sheila (Jill Scott) and Troy (Lamman Rucker), whose recent familial relocation finds the couple in dire financial straights. Enter Sheila's abusive former spouse, Mike (Richard T. Jones), to jumpstart the drama and whose intentions are more than meets the eye. Like the women of Sex and the City, these characters serve as surrogate identifiers for the audience, ensuring that all bases are covered and no personality type goes unsatisfied—at least, in theory. As tensions flair between husbands, wives, and exes during the gang's annual getaway vacation, Perry remains intent on ferreting out the good among the bad, and it is in these moments of light comedic rapport, particularly during a male bonding session on the beach, that Why Did I Get Married Too? most substantially explores the give and take nature of modern marital demands. Alas, the script is inconsistent at best, the developing plot threads ultimately giving way to contrivance, while the running gag that is the loudmouthed, jealousy-prone Angela is one that is at best misguided, at worst offensive: Read her as a caricature and her story of relationship strife becomes a callous punchline to real-world strains; read her as flesh-and-blood and her domineering, pistol-waving antics become reductive and clichéd. This stands in stark contrast to the tangible hurt experienced by Jackson's Patricia, whose tightly framed confrontation with her drunk husband might be the best-acted scene in Perry's catalogue. All in all, a strangely mixed bag even by Perry's often uneven comedy/drama standards, which is to say nothing of a literally last-minute cameo that stands a chance at maintaining status as the WTF moment of the year. Only time—and, purportedly, a third film—will tell if this move is one of audacity or outright stupidity. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Janet played that damn role.

wow That is MJ in some parts but then not him in others. MESSY. They shouldn't release this new album. Its garbage.

This is gonna be an eminem sweep. That hook is crazy on "LTWYL"

I don't know. "LTWYL" is serious competition.

"LOve the Way You Lie" will win record of the year.

I love him. I am going to beat somebody ass in protest MSNBC suspended "Countdown" host Keith Olbermann Friday after the news that he donated to three Democratic candidates. "I became aware of Keith's political contributions late last night," MSNBC President Phil Griffin said in a statement. "Mindful of NBC News policy and standards, I have suspended him indefinitely without pay." [Related: MSNBC's election night lineup criticized] Olbermann gave the maximum individual donation of $2,400 to three candidates in Tuesday's election: Arizona Reps. Gabrielle Giffords and Raul Grijalva and Senate hopeful Jack Conway, who lost in Kentucky to Republican Rand Paul. (Grijalva appeared on Olbermann's "Countdown" on Oct. 28, the same day the host donated to his campaign; Conway was last a guest in May). Olbermann, in a statement to Politico, said that he "did not privately or publicly encourage anyone else to donate to these campaigns nor to any others in this election or any previous ones." Also, Olbermann said he had not "previously donated to any political campaign at any level." But the revelation raised clear ethical issues. Olbermann, a liberal commentator, gives his opinions each night on the air. But NBC News editorial staffers -- like journalists at most news organizations -- are forbidden from giving to political candidates. Also, Olbermann anchored election coverage Tuesday night without disclosing that he'd given to candidates who were running for office. By punishing the network's biggest star, Griffin showed how little tolerance there is for hosts to make undisclosed political contributions while covering those political races. An MSNBC spokesman told The Upshot that The Nation's Chris Hayes, an MSNBC contributor who has filled in before for Olbermann and Rachel Maddow, will host Friday night's show. Hayes has spoken publicly before about donating $250 to a friend's Congressional campaign in Alabama. MSNBC already attracted criticism this week for having its liberal hosts and commentators anchor election night coverage. Typically, nonpartisan journalists anchor major news events—such as election results—while commentators like Bill O'Reilly (Fox News) or James Carville (CNN) offer analysis. It's ironic that Olbermann gave to political candidates after criticizing Fox News because its owner, Rupert Murdoch, gave $1 million donation to the Republican Governors Association. "Fox News has put its money where its mouth is," Olbermann said in an August segment that questioned the network's impartiality. In October, Olbermann again raised the issue of Murdoch's donations, during an interview with Democratic Rep. James Clyburn. Olbermann asked whether there was "a legislative response to the idea that there is a national cable news outlet that goes beyond having a point of view and actually starts to shill for partisan causes and actually starts to donate to partisan groups of one party."

You MJ fans can try to censor my ambitions if you want but I know of my right to free speech and such and I am not afraid you act on it.

At some point Michael just started to sound like he was re doing the same song over again with his dance music. He never progressed after "Dangerous" with his dance music. His ballads were still lovely as ever though "Butterflies" was genius.

I think Janet needs to do a few comedies and action films. All these dramas are not allowing her to grow. She's good but sometimes not natural, and that naturalness comes with doing a bunch of different types of roles.

Me too. I have heard Kimberly Elise and Loretta Divine as well are the show stealers, but sdome reviews also mention janet in high regard.

You've just been allowed to join our sexy sassy sorority so you don't have the authority to be calling that whore a whore.

I want the international version

This could and an embarrassment

Cindy lauper. Its the "We Are the World" cover Rock-head I hope this isn't embarassing

Miss Blatin... How art thou

Plus they have to send pictures of their private parts(ass,dicks,tiddays,coochies,etc.) to our PMs for further inspection.

Game might. That lady has more personalities than any schizo I know.

I'm surrounded by freaks and hoes.

Xie you so craZy...

She did so good!

Don't get sassy.

They calling Willow the new Michael Jackson and she has upstaged Beiber at his own concert. Hollywoodlife : Willow Smith performed for the first time on a major stage Oct. 25 at Justin Bieber’s concert in Los Angeles — and she was INCREDIBLE! The crowd went nuts! There’s no denying Justin Bieber is a rockstar! The 16-year-old mega performer sang, danced, played the piano, drums and guitar — and even rapped during his My World 2.0 concert at the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles Oct. 25. I was one of the nearly 20,000 screaming fans in the packed stadium dancing and singing along to the Biebz, but the highlight of my night was by FAR was the guest list — Usher, Jaden and Willow Smith all made surprise appearances! I feel honored to have witnessed 9-year-old Willow’s first big live performance. She’s already blowing up the charts and will, without a doubt, be one of the biggest musical artists in the world within a year. Although I could only make out a little blur from my seat in Proactiv’s suite, Willow’s presence was unmistakable. During the encore, she started rapping a verse from her single, “Whip My Hair” and the crowd erupted into wild applause. Then, when she started doing “the dougie” with Justin, I almost spilled my drink. That little girl is straight up genius! Her older brother, Jaden, made an appearance earlier in the show and he’s also genetically gifted. Justin introduced his backup dancers, who were all breaking, and then Jaden came out and started doing tricks as well! Will and Jada Smith have groomed these kids perfectly for show biz. SIDE NOTE: Usher, who’s Justin’s mentor, also performed briefly during one song, but he went almost unnoticed — the little kids totally upstaged him! Overall, I give Justin’s concert two-thumbs up…although, Jaden and Willow definitely earned at least one half of the thumbs! Sure, I’m a Biebette, but now I’m also a whipette!
