HUNGER GAMES BRINGS OUT THE RACISM IN SOME PEOPLE...

So The Hunger Games came out last week, and everyone is basically calling it the "New Twilight". People are jumping on the bandwagon to watch the movie, and/or read the book. I actually have the series, but haven't had the "time" to devote to a trilogy like this. Making $155 million from it's opening weekend, crowned the 3rd biggest opening in movie history, behind Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part 2 and The Dark Knight.

The main character in the book and film Katniss was described as having straight black hair and olive skin, but Jennifer Lawrence (a white girl) was cast for the part, just dyed her hair dark. Rue and Thresh were described as having dark skin, but Cinna was never really specified.

As Katniss sees Rue for the first time..."…And most hauntingly, a twelve-year-old girl from District 11. She has dark brown skin and eyes, but other than that's she's very like Prim in size and demeanor…"

Then Katniss sees Thresh..."The boy tribute from District 11, Thresh, has the same dark skin as Rue, but the resemblance stops there. He's one of the giants, probably six and half feet tall and built like an ox."

But these aren't what The Hunger Games fanatics had in mind. They pictured these characters so distinct in their mind, that when they saw that these characters weren't exactly lined up to their expectations, they became enraged...more racist to be exact.

Honestly, this is really disappointing to read. I mean personally, I know racism and biases exist, but to read it in such a public sense being written all over Twitter is just disgusting. It really makes me sad for these people who have no open mind to anything in this day and age.

KATY PERRY DISSES BEYONCE & SHAKIRA'S DUET

Okay, not headlining news as of today, but still pretty big because someone be dissing Beyonce! And we know she "run the world" because she said so. Well this someone is California Girl Katy Perry. If you didn't know, Katy Perry and Rihanna have been pretty close friends for awhile now and they have been working on a duet for some time. But, Katy explains that this collaboration has taken some time because they want it to be great, not like "Beautiful Liar".

Here is exactly what she said: "We've collaborated on a lot of things, but just not songs yet. It's one of those things that's got so much build up that we have to deliver. I want it to be like that Eurythmics and Aretha Franklin song 'Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves,'...Not 'Beautiful Liar.'"

I don't get why this is considered really just dissing Beyonce, when it's with Shakira too. Shouldn't it be considered dissing both? Funny thing is that "Beautiful Liar" hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2007.

In closing, Katy Perry adds: "How disappointed would you be if that song came out and it's no good? Sometimes you have to wait for greatness." Well we are waiting girl, and it better be a lot better!

Whitney Houston's Cause of Death Revealed!

So news broke out today on the cause of Whitney Houston's surprising death last month. According to the L.A. Coroner's Office, the 48 year old died from accidental drowning. At the time of her death, she had cocaine in her system, but the effects of atherosclerotic heart disease mixed with the frequent cocaine use caused her passing. Also according to toxicology reports, Whitney Houston had marijuana, Xanax, Flexeril, and Benadryl that supposedly "did not cause her death". I mean if you have all those substances mixed in your body, it seems almost impossible to come out of this situation alive and healthy. What is still not certain is if Whitney actually died from a heart attack, which is common to happen with the influx of drug substances.


Still an unbelievable tragedy to hear about knowing that she was still very young and had a child whom she was so close to. It's crazy how public figures such as her have no idea of the great impact they leave behind to loved ones and to the public. Let's keep her family in our prayers, especially daughter Bobbi Brown that she doesn't follow the same path as her mom in regards to abusing substances. There is so much more to be grateful and appreciative for and instead of harming ourselves, we should take great care of the body that we were provided.

JUSTIN BIEBER COMPLEX BEATDOWN

HAPPY BIEBER JUSTIN BIRTHDAY! Justin Bieber recently turned legal on March 1, so what better way to celebrate coming into manhood than getting beat up like one? Featured on the cover of Complex Magazine's April issue is Mr. Baby himself, Justin Bieber.

With a promo like "That's right, the world's biggest pop star is 18 now, and he's through being your punching bag...", it has me wondering what that quote exactly means. Yes, Justin Bieber has worked hard to get to where he is today, yes he has tons of talent, and yes he will continue being successful, but being people's punching bag? Is it about his so-called "lesbian" look he had with the side swept bangs early in his career? Or his Jesus tat? [I'm still on the wall with that]

Whatever it is, the concept that seemed to suit Bieber's transition into adulthood is to get beaten the pulp out of, then come back and take victory. The video below explains it all...

ZUMANITY Insanity in Vegas

Okay okay very late review, but what's a week later compared to none at all? So going to Vegas with my cool godmother, I finally had the opportunity to see a show! And not just any show, but one of the shows I have been wanting to see for awhile, ZUMANITY featured at the New York, New York hotel in Las Vegas.

We managed to get orchestra tickets for half price which in the end happened to be very good seating. If you don't know what Zumanity is about, it's basically the sensual side of Cirque du Soleil, full of sensual acrobatics that is part burlesque and part cabaret.

I loved the show, to the point where I was I was sitting closer so that I had a chance to be picked to go on-stage. There were different acts to the entire show, that would be broken up by sensual acrobatics, to naughty comedy skits, to sultry singing. The performers are all amazing, and watching the show definitely turned you on. I totally recommend this show any time you're in Vegas, especially if you plan on watching something.

SNL's 'DISNEY HOUSEWIVES'

This past weekend, Lindsay Lohan was hosting SNL again, after her "newsworthy" moments. Here was a skit from the weekend called "Disney Housewives", spoofing the Real Housewives series on Bravo. They featured Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Cinderella, Jasmine, and Belle.

Honestly, Lindsay Lohan's piece was not funny at all! Everything seemed beyond rehearsed and pretty amateur if you ask me. The entire skit in general was okay, could've been better. I don't know if SNL needs new writers, new cast members, or both because the show isn't a must-see as it used to I feel. People just see videos like this on the web instead of tuning into the entire show. Check it out though here:

LMFAO 'SORRY FOR PARTY ROCKING'

I know I'm kind of behind on this, but here is LMFAO's new video for "Sorry for Party Rocking". I love how innovative and fun their music videos are. Like every time you hear that particular song on the radio, you can't help but think of the video. I can't believe Redfoo and Sky Blu dressed as those old people, they looked sooo horrid and creepy haha! The video as usual was good, but could've done without my lover's girlfriend in the scene...HAHA HATING ON IT! But anyways, I LOVE LMFAO, check out the vid here!

SNOOKI IS PREGNANT!

Yesterday, it was confirmed that Snooki (real name Nicole Polizzi), is in fact pregnant! Since earlier this year, she has denied rumors by putting the pregnant news to rest while interviewing with several news sources.

Now is Snooki considered a liar since she's three to four months pregnant? Supposedly, it's all for the sake of not jinxing her pregnancy which is pretty common. Her baby daddy is boyfriend Jionni LaValle, whom she has been seeing for over a year.

This is the first Jersey Shore baby of it's kind, let's see how this pans out for her new reality show spin-off with JWoww.
