Chris Rock Responds to Women about Documentary

In "Good Hair", the comedic documentary by Chris Rock, the comedian explores African American hair traditions, culture, and much more after his daughter asked him why she didn't have good hair.  With the airing of the documentary, many women have came out horrified and upset with Chris Rock calling the document sexist, demeaning and much more. 

Chris actually had to go on Oprah to defend the movie to some hostile viewers.  Obviously, the subject of African American women's hair, especially when it comes to natural or processed, is a sensitive subject.  

Rock defends his documentary in many ways, but the most convincing was his interjection that this is about culture and fashion and a comedic way to approach a sensitive subject.  Here are a few quotes from Chriis Rock to justify his latest piece of work on Oprah: 

"When we started the movie it wasn't gonna be mostly women. It was going to be everybody. What we found was that nobody cared about men and their hair. Not even men."

 "I want to focus on how funny the movie is, and I think it's the funniest movie I've made."

"I didn't stop a woman from making it, and I make fun of no one in this whole thing. This is my little movie that has to do with my daughter's own hair, not a definitive history of hair, which someone could do, and apparently some people want, and probably will be done someday."

Chris Rock said much more to defend his documentary on Oprah, however the truth of the matter is that sometimes, subjects that seem innocent acutally touch on the buried feelings of racism, favoritism, image, beauty, society and more.  Sometimes, its not about a film, it's about a sensitive subject that has stayed buried for too long...once arisen, anger is usually the first response followed by awareness.

Project Runway's move from Bravo to Lifetime made no difference....nothing changed. According to Daniel. "It was the same runway, the same crappy lighting. Tim was there, Michael, Nina, and Heidi Klum was pregnant again. Nothing had changed."

And Daniel is right, the Project Runway scene was the exact same, the only change was scenery, form New York of Los Angeles. Everything else was the exact same.

An American company has scheduled to turn a lock of Pop King, Michael Jackson’s hair into diamonds. The company, LifeGem, specializes in creating precious stones out of human DNA.

In the Pepsi ad, his hair caught on fire after a lighting feature went off too early during the 6th take. See the attached video for exclusive footage of the event, leaked to the public only about a month ago.

“We are currently evaluating Jackson’s hair sample to determine how many diamonds can be created,” Dean VandenBiesen, founder of LifeGem, said. “This will be a limited collection and we anticipate great interest.”

Are you one of those people of “great interest?” If you are, you better keep on top of these headlines—the company will only make a few!

Real Housewives Atlanta Challenge Fashion Walk Off

From Left to Right: Kandi, NeNe, Lisa, Kim and Sheree

The addictive series, Housewives, is at battle again. Only this time, it’s not within the show.

On Thursday, The Real Housewives of Atlanta announced that their “best-dressed” housewife, Lisa, is rising against Sheree’s She by Sheree fashion label by creating her own fashion collection.

Lisa, though winner of best dressed, is not necessarily a great dresser. So, it’s valid to assume that this fashion walk off is not going to be much of an eye opener. In fact, it may be an eye shutter.

And yet, it seems like the public is still voting for Lisa. Sheree has been punching out launch dates for what seems like decades, leaving us wondering if she’s totally confused or just weak for attention.

I guess even with hoards of free money, you still can’t buy yourself fashion sense.
