Beyonce Gets Obsessed, Rihanna and Chris Brown Headed to Hawaii? Rebel's Holiday Gift Guide, Plus A Soulful Christmas Mix
Posted on December 19, 2008 9:00 AM
That "nice" Beyonce is finished. If you haven't already seen the trailer for Bey's film Obsessed due out this April, just know homegirl is kickin butt and taking names. She plays the wife of a man (Idris Elba) whose temp co-worker goes nuts over him.
Looks like Bey will be beatin' a b*tches a** in this one... Fun. First she cusses and does smack to play Etta James, now she's marrying Stringer Bell and whuppin up on white chicks. Anybody excited about this one? I wish I could say it doesn't look like a blockbuster pick for me, but it does!
PerezHilton.com is reporting that Rihanna and Chris Brown are heading to Hawaii to spend the holidays together. I'm sure we will see lots of pictures of them and other stars over the next few days as everyone heads out on vacays. Where are you guys going? I'll be in Seattle, WA and Portland, OR visiting friends.
Brutha is dropping their self-titled debut a few days early, rather than 12/23 the album will be hitting stores this Sunday, 12/21. I know they are trying to get that out in time to capitalize this weekend's holiday shoppers.
The season finale of "Brothers to Brutha" airs this Tuesday 12/23 at 10:30pm EST on BET. Visit the "Brothers to Brutha" page on BET.com for exclusive video, photos and episode recaps: www.bet.com/brotherstobrutha. The Tracklisting for their debut is also listed below:
1. Bang Bang
2. I Can't Hear The Music featuring Fabolous
3. She's Gone
4. Set It Off
5. Like This
6. Afraid of Love
7. Ghost
8. What If
9. Just Being Honest
10. Make You Love It
I love getting DVD's and CD's for Christmas. This year I'm hoping for HBO's "The Wire" box set, Ghostface Killah's GhostDeini the Great, and Motown: The Complete No. 1's. Here's my guide to CD buying:<br/>
For Mom: Kenny Lattimore Timeless, Anthony Hamilton Point of it All or Eric Benet's Love & LIfe.
For Dad - Jamie Foxx Intuition Robin Thicke Something Else or Musiq Soulchild OnMyRadio
For Your Best Friend: Jazmine Sullivan Fearless, Brandy Human, Keyshia Cole A Different Me
Just a few of my suggestions, feel free to add your own.

I just feel sorry for all of the REAL ACTRESSES who could of done a way better job for Bey's role...When will Hollywood get the picture that Beyonce is not a big office draw...Cause she simply just can't act...I mean how many bonified rappers/r&b stars turned bonified actors???? I will name them for you, and keep in mind there have never been any female R&b singers that swithced up to acting and is considered their primary job & source of income....NEVER......
1. Will Smith
2. James Todd Smith
3. Mos Deff
4 Tyrese
5. DMX
Brandy, Beyonce, Kelly Rowland, Aaliyah..& Macy Gray don' count...Because they have yet to make that total transistion from singer to actress and never will....The lady with the most potential to make that transition is Macy Gray...But they will not throw a lot of roles her way, cause she does not hold the image that Hollywood prefers and her skin color is just to dark which is why she is being constantly passed up on roles from lighter skinned actresses.
As always, this is Real Talk and I always will keep it 100.
P.S. RIP Aaliyah, but I was just keeping all the way real. Her acting skills was not up to par as well.
Clo-fresh sorry you gonna take an L for this .
The trailer looks good to me and the movie looks decent. How can u make an judgement without even seeing the whole body of work . I bet u never even seen the movie cadillac records either pretty good movie , decent acting by Beyonce; so stop hating. And by the way i guess T.I and Luda are crappy actors right . Hmm both had big parts in 2 critically acclaimed movies Crash and American Gangster. And how dare u throw Aaliyah in this Conversation God rest her soul. We never got to see potential so we dont know.
The girl really isnt as bad a actor as people make her out to be (black people mostly) cause alot white movie critics and journalist gave her good reviews for Cadillac Records. I mean I'm just saying.... Even if her acting was as bad as people make it out to be I still wouldnt be mad cause its a sista at least making an attempt. And please she has only been in only 6 major Hollywood productions......she is not taking roles from other black actresses. She aint that damn powerful. Let that girl do her thang....
@ Rodney....It seems you have a hard time of understanding text....Read what I said word for word dummy....I SAID EXACTLY THIS: "...I mean how many bonified rappers/r&b stars turned bonified actors"???? "I will name them for you, and keep in mind there have never been any female R&b singers that swithced up to acting and is considered their primary job & source of income....NEVER......"
Keywords were: TURNDED BONIFIED ACTORS.....TI and Luda is ok on film...But they have yet to make that full transition to Bonified actors....What I mean by that is, they swithced industries and acting is now there primary job.......
Read....Nigga.....Read....!!!
@ Clo-fresh I understand your text fully , thats why I replied you IDIOT; thats just like black people always trying put others down . There are alot of black actors , r&b and rappers that are bonifide actors or budding superstars.
People forget that Will Smith and Queen Latifah started out as rappers/singers...
but its unnessary to bring up the dead because we never got to see Aaliyahs potential..soo that was uncalled for. And I agree with the previous post..all the PROFESSIONAL movie critics are giving Beyonce credit where its due soo..i guess everyone else really are haters. Beyonce could win 10 Oscars and black people would still hate..saying it was rigged or that her Daddy payed people off. GTFOH.
In Sweden for Christmas! Raining today, but hopefully white in a few days.
any christmas playlist that has this christmas on it not sung by donnie hathaway is wrong. It can not be sung better
Queen Latifah! Jennifer Lopez!
