DJANGO UNCHAINED started as a questionable concept for a spaghetti western but it is turned into one of the most anticipated films of the year. Early reviews are also suggesting that it is one of the best films of the year. While details are sparse, DJANGO seems to be receiving rave reviews and delighting audiences. Most have come away in awe of the sheer violence in the rated R-epic and at the incredible cinematography of Tarantino’s effort. The actors are also all in contention for significant acclaim. In the early buzz, Leonardo DiCaprio was considered a lock-for nominations however, his co-stars are stealing the show in the eyes of early viewers. It is never easy to star opposite Samuel L. Jackson but many are suggesting that he is the surprising best performance in the film. Christoph Walz, who spends most of the film opposite Jamie Foxx as the bounty hunter that recruits Foxx in a mission of revenge is also gaining unexpected attention for his performance. Some are suggesting that the trio could all walk away with awards this season.

The St. Louis critics have nominated the film for Best Picture, Best Lead Actor (Jaime Foxx), Best Director, Best Supporting Actor (Chritoph Waltz), Best Music, Best Cinematography, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Scene.

The San Diego critics have nominated DJANGO for Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor (Christoph Waltz), Best Cinematography, Best Ensemble, and Best Original Screenplay.

After seeing the film, Criterion Corner’s David Ehrlich tweeted, “DJANGO UNCHAINED: holy s***. brutally hilarious spaghetti comedy does for business what Basterds did for war. Best American film of 2012.”

DJANGO UNCHAINED is currently nominated for outstanding motion picture trophy at the NAACP Image Awards.

“Did Coco Cheat On ICE-T? We hope not and it seems that Ice-T doesn’t think so either. A fury was aroused by Coco when intimate pictures of the married model appeared on instagram with the rapper AP9. Coco is photographed dabbing delicate kisses on the rapper’s cheek. AP9 is also seen nuzzling Coco at an after-party for her “PeepShow”. When the pictures were posted, ICE-T made it clear that he felt disrespected. Ice wrote “Most of [the pics are] disrespectful and in bad taste,” . “She’s made me look and feel like s–t.”

After trying to brush off the controversy, Coco wrote

“Ice is right, the pics I took with this man were in poor taste & I disrespected my husband.”  “However the pics were the only thing that happened.” She Continued

“I feel so sad. The bottom line is I love Ice & I can understand why he’s upset.”  “There’s no excuse for my actions. I’m so sorry baby & to everyone.”

Ice- T and Coco have always made an “interesting” couple but their recent reality tv show, “ICE LOVES COCO” revealed a surprisingly deep and intimate relationship. The marriage of the blond bombshell and the hardest of all rappers, has raised eyebrows for quite some time. However, their interactions on camera garnered the couple a new level of respect for their relationship. Audiences have fallen in love-with their “loving” relationship. On the show, Coco appears to be Ice T’s ideal woman. She is depicted as caring, attentive, vivacious and dedicated. She literally melts the Ice man. Ice T also displays a mature, loving and strangely wise and nurturing side. The outside world finally seemed to understand why this odd couple has lasted for nearly a decade. The series also produced a bevy of new opportunities for Coco-as well. Coco’s star has never shined as brightly. She is acting, modeling and starring in live shows. This rift in their relationship may be the first fruit of Coco’s independent ventures.

The new power couple was out posing for pictures in their first joint appearance. They dawned matching leather outfits and enthusiastically sought out the cameras. It seems that they were out to make a statement.

We count ourselves among those that admired their on-camera love affair. We wish them well!

Stacey Dash is Normal. This is not a declarative sentence. It is the title of the famous starlets new Series. Stacey Dash is Normal is the creative vision of the embattled starlet. Ms. Dash has raised the ire of many in the entertainment industry with her unpredictable and odd antics. Her abrupt departure from the wildly successful VH1 franchise, Single Ladies, was inexplicable. The decision to leave was then followed by a very vocal endorsement of Republican Presidential candidate, Mitt Romney. The world seemed at a loss to explain Stacey Dash-and this seems to be the inspiration behind the title of “Stacey Dash is Normal”. The series looks raw, gritty-a pure product of the kind of innovation that the internet is fostering. It is unclear if the project will be released on the internet as a web series or is being pitched for TV. Despite it’s title, Stacey Dash is depicted as anything but normal. The show seems to be a riotously funny and self deprecating series. Dash is wild, unpredictable and totally unhinged-atleast in the released promos. We think the project looks promising. Decide for yourself

If you have ever dawned a sleek and sexy bathing suite at the beach or at the side of a pool, then your life has been influenced by fashion legend, Leah Gottlieb. The Israeli designer was the heroin that injected glamour into once mundane and modest bathing suites. She designed over 300 suites that were coveted by royalty, celebrities and fashion aficionados alike. Gottex Swim-suites (Gottlieb Textiles for short) were sold in Saks, Neiman Marcus, and Bloomingdales. Stores from Paris to Dallas carried her creations. At the age of 94, Mrs. Gottlieb passed away, as we all wish we could, leaving the world much more beautiful then she found it!

After a philosophical Twitter-bate ensued between America’s Most Famous Mayor, Cory Booker and a self described “Army wife”, Cory Booker announced he would be living on FoodStamps, after ThanksGiving. A Twitter follower of Mayor Booker accused him of wanting to redistribute wealth, when he suggested that it was important to make sure that children received proper nourishment at school. @MWadeNC disagreed with the mayor and argued that it isn’t the government’s responsibility to nourish children. She then added that the children should already be properly nourished with the help of food-stamps. The Mayor then suggested that the two live on foodstamps-presumably to challenge her notions of the provisions supplied by food stamps. While the Mayor seems to be enthusiastic about the exercise, the details of the “army wife’s” participation have yet to be finalized. If she participates in the Foodstamp Fast, She may  learn about the insufficiency of the food stamp system.
