TIDBITS OF LIFE: The Jackson Brothers Reality Series?! AND Taking Naked Pictures on the Subway is ART
20 Aug
Yeah, so yesterday, when I said I was drugged up on NyQuil, I really meant NiteTime … the generic brand. Why am I confessing that? Because my sister saw me drinking DayTime this morning and told me it’s been proven that the generic brands of Ny/DayQuil are NOT as effective. So here I am … still sick. Pity party 
.
Tune in to PAIN, with the Jacksons reality series
1) The Jackson Brothers are going to be the subject of a reality series at A&E. The series will show the Jackson brothers grappling with Michael’s death and their own lives. EX-PLOI-TATION at its FINEST. For my take on reality series, I invite you to read here. Maybe A&E will be a little classier about its series, but I am already extremely hesitant about where this is going.
2) TIME has a fascinating Q&A about ‘Why We Lie So Much.’ It makes me wonder how many times I’ve lied and not even thought about it … “Oh girl, that does look good, now that I look at it again from this angle’ … and how many times people have lied to me. Does everybody really lie ALL the TIME?!
3) A Jimi Hendrix biopic is in the works … Mehhh. I’m not a die hard Jimi Hendrix fan, but anything that will provide a black actor with an opportunity is OK in my book.
4) Wanna play a game? Can you guess this speedy track athlete’s gender? I’m not going to spoil it by giving you MY guess. Join the guessing game at YouTube.
5) Death Row Records is starting a film division, set on bringing us more ‘Boyz n the Hood’-type stories. Its debut film is titled “Sons 2 the Grave” and features never-before-heard Death Row Music. This is great … *strained, timid smile.*
6) Did you know that if you pose on the subway naked while someone is taking pictures of you, it’s art? The next time I decide to pose on the subway naked, I’ll be SURE to bring a photographer. Why shouldn’t New York mornings be blessed with my original open-legged nude poses? Breathe in my cooch-air.
*sigh* Poor Michael. Is there anyone in that family who saw him as a person and not a cash cow?
I know what you mean; sadly it doesn’t seem so
from Time’s LYING article: “You say in the book that recent DNA evidence suggests that 10% of people have fathers other than the men they believe conceived them. So is lying pretty widespread in our intimate lives too?”
that’s….just….sad.
If you answer “fine” to my asking “How are you?” and you aren’t REALLY fine, I can deal with that lie. But to think that 1 out of 10 of my friends has a daddy who isn’t really their daddy? that sucks.
I swear one of the first things I thought abut upon learning about MJ’s death was how his family was going to exploit it as much as they could to turn a profit. Reality show? Really? None of the Jackson’s have achieved anything worthy of getting a reality show, but I guess on that note, neither have any of the people who have them now. But I digress. The remaining Jacksons, with the exception of Janet, Reby and Katherine, make me sick! Ugh!
wow i really never thought much about mj’s family members. why they need a show idk but i think it will help some of them that are in need of work. i think that track star is a guy from the pictures but i feel bad saying that if she is a woman. i’m not big on jimi either. i am very interested to see what new films death row will make.
wrote about the jacksons on black cinema at large today…just trife
May I have the link for it, please? Google isn’t helping me much.
