Oscars Boycott 2016
Oscars Boycott 2016
Jada Pinkett Smith and Spike Lee are leading the Oscar Boycott 2016. The two say they will boycott the Oscars over a lack of diversity among nominees.The boycott reminds us of Lee Daniels’ reaction after Empire was not nominated for an Emmy despite the show’s record breaking stats.
Kevin Hart It’s About To Go Down The Oscars received a large amount of criticism after announcing an all-white slate of major nominees. Last year the Oscars also featured an all-white slate of nominees in the major award categories and Spike/Jada are no longer gonna take it!
Lee took to Instagram asking, “How is it possible for the second consecutive year all 20 contenders under the acting category are white?”
Jada Pinkett Smith Boycott Oscars Video
In Jada Pinkett Smith’s boycott Oscars video the actress explains that she would not be attending the award show nor would she be watching at home. Her husband, Will Smith, delivered an Oscar-worthy performance in “Concussion” yet he was not nominated.(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = “//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3”; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, ‘script’, ‘facebook-jssdk’));

Posted by Jada Pinkett Smith on Monday, January 18, 2016Viola Davis shared the following statement regarding the matter:
Viola Davis Academy Awards Racism in Hollywood
So why did Spike and Jada all of a sudden decide to boycott the Oscars!? Racism in Hollywood is not a new issue.The following video shows Eddie Murphy at the 60th Academy Awards in 1988. The award-winning actor explains that he almost rejected the offer to present the award because the academy had consistently failed to recognize black actors.
Racism will divide and destroy us. We must stand united as we are certain to fall divided. -
Top 10 Tupac Songs
Tupac Back! A Christmas carol service printed out Tupac’s “Hail Mary” lyrics instead of the lyrics to the prayer. The incident occurred in South Asia during the 2016 Catholic Joy to the World Festival. Check out the video at the bottom of this post for more information!
Tupac All Eyez On Me Movie Variety reports that the “All Eyez on Me” trailer was released on what would have been the rapper’s 45th birthday. Demetrius Shipp Jr. plays Tupac and Jamal Woolard will play The Notorious B.I.G. Woolard is the same actor who played Biggie in the film Notorious. The film is set to release on November 11, 2016.
In this article we’ll present our top 10 Tupac songs. It is difficult to believe that the talented rapper would be 44, 2 years younger than Jay-Z. Shakur was murdered in 1996 when he was only 25 years old.
Tupac’s Bodyguard
Before we get into the list it’s important to remember the life of one of Shakur’s closest friends. Tupac’s former bodyguard, Frank Alexander, believed that Orlando Anderson is the person that killed Tupac. Anderson is a member of the Crips who had beef with numerous Death Row artists.
Tupac asked Alexander aka “Big Frank” to be his bodyguard after Big Frank saved Snoop Dogg from being shot in New York. In 2013 Big Frank was found dead in his Murrieta, CA home. The 54 year old was found with a gunshot wound to the head. The death was deemed a suicide.
Tupac Forever
Creating this 2pac songs list was difficult considering the numerous classics he released in his short career. I can only imagine how much more difficult creating a 2pac best songs list would be if he would have been able to share more of his talent with the world.
Empire paid homage to one of the best 2pac songs of all time as Hakeem and Jamal joined forces to create the video for ‘Ain’t About the Money‘.
Empire Ain’t About the Money Who can forget Tupac and Dr. Dre’s video for ‘California Love‘ featuring the iconic Mad Max inspired death cage!?
Tupac Dr. Dre California Love The best 2pac songs featured on this list are timeless classics. Any 2pac songs list should certainly include the tracks we have listed below.
Without further ado, enjoy our 2pac best songs list:10. Ghetto Gospel

Sarah Palin Endorses Donald Trump, Cookie Lyon’s Reaction
There’s never a dull moment when it comes to Donald Trump. A man recently threatened to kill him because he’s scared that Trump will take away food stamps:
Sarah Palin endorses Donald Trump which could certainly help him win Iowa. Palin’s support is the highest-profile for a Republican thus far.
Sarah Palin Endorses Donald Trump Sarah Palin and Donald Trump have similar views on immigration. Palin recently shared her belief that immigrants should speak English.
Sarah Palin and Donald Trump Sarah Palin and Donald Trump met in Iowa on Tuesday to show the world that they are on the same team. Sarah Palin endorsing Donald Trump 13 days prior to the state’s caucuses could give Trump a substantial boost in the presidential race.

Here is the Sarah Palin Donald Trump video showing the former vice president candidate praising Trump’s success in the private sector in announcing her support for him.
Sarah Palin endorsing Donald Trump could be the final piece to Trump’s presidential puzzle. Senator Ted Cruz will need to counter strong if he hopes to defeat Trump.What does Cookie Lyon think about Trump’s power move? Lets compare the two to see who is better fit to be the next President of the United States.Campaign AdsSimilar to Trump, Cookie Lyon is a marketing genius! She certainly would defeat Trump when it comes to commercials. While Trump’s ads are serious, Cookie knows how to make us smile! Her personality speaks for itself:

‘Empire’ Snubbed At Critics Choice Awards
The Critics Choice Awards aired on Sunday night, but sadly, Empire did not take a single trophy in the three categories it was nominated in. The Lyons were totally snubbed at the awards’ show, in which the Broadcast Film Critics Association and Broadcast Television Journalists Association picks the winners. Come on!
Empire was nominated for Best Drama Series (but USA’s Mr. Robot won), Taraji P. Henson was up for Best Actress in a Drama Series (but she lost to Carrie Coon from HBO’s The Leftovers), and Marisa Tomei was nominated for Best Guest Actor/Actress in a Drama Series (which went to Margo Martindale from CBS’ The Good Wife). It’s too bad, because Empire is generally loved by critics, but hey, Taraji since has her Golden Globe, right? And it’s technically a way more prestigious award, since it comes with cookies (right).Not only did Taraji P. Henson take home a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Drama last week, Empire is nominated for a Grammy! That’s right, a Grammy for the Empire Season 1 soundtrack in the category Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media! So we can look forward to Lyons potentially winning on more award when the ceremony airs in February.
And then in March, Empire returns, which will be the best reward of all for all of our patient waiting during this long, long hiatus. -
Halle v. Taraji: Don’t Hate the Cookie Hate the Game
Halle Berry recently decided to part ways with her manager of 20 years, Vincent Cirrincione and it is due to the fact that Cirrincione has been focusing his attention on Taraji P. Henson’s blossoming career over the past few years.
Cookie Lyon Halle Berry In 2002 Berry won an Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in ‘Monster’s Ball’ produced by Lee Daniels. The award made her the only woman of color to ever win a Best Actress Academy Award to date.
Since then Berry’s career has been average, at best, and she clearly blames Cirrincione. Page Six reports that Berry was upset about how much attention has been devoted to Henson’s career. Although the split (Berry/Cirrincione) occurred about a year ago a Page Six source has revealed that Berry was angered by Henson’s success:
“Taraji’s on a hit show and it’s her moment right now. Halle has had a bad run with films, and her TV show was canceled.”
Halle Berry Movies and TV Shows Halle Berry Movies and TV Shows
Berry has been in the game for a very long time. Some of her best work includes:- Executive Decision, 1996
- Bulworth, 1998
- Monster’s Ball, 2001
- Swordfish, 2001
- Die Another Day, 2002
- Gothika, 2003

- The Call, 2013
- X-Men: Days of Future Past, 2014
Halle Berry’s movies and TV shows haven’t been what they once were. Halle Berry’s TV show, ‘Extant’ was axed after two short seasons.
Halle Berry’s TV show ‘Living Dolls‘ was the first television appearance she made back in 1989. Some of her additional television appearances include:
- Amen, 1991
- A Different World, 1991
- They Came from Outer Space, 1991
- Fraiser, 1998
- Introducing Dorothy Dandridge, 1999
- Their Eyes Were Watching God, 2005
- Extant, 2014-15
The following clip shows Halle Berry suggesting that Henson’s Oscar nomination for ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’ should satisfy her. Berry further explains that Taraji has already won by being nominated considering the high level of competition.

‘Empire’ Will Return For Season 3 — But What About Mariah & Oprah’s Guest Appearances?
Rejoice! Empire has been officially renewed for a third season, as if there was any doubt the Lyons wouldn’t be back on Fox. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the renewal was announced at the Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour. Show co-creator and executive producer Danny Strong said that conversations about Season 3 haven’t happened just yet, but it sounds like the season will be 18 episodes, just like Season 2 is set to be.
“I don’t really want to do more,” he said to the press. “It’s hard to pull the show off.” And what he means is that the show is lots of work for the cast, crew, and behind-the-scenes music folks who produce original songs for every episode.
Strong also answered questions about a few rumored guest stars that have yet to surface in the Lyon’s den: Mariah Carey and Oprah Winfrey. This is where the bad news comes in. Mariah Carey and Oprah Winfrey won’t be guest stars. Sorry, folks.“None of those people are going to actually be on the show so I can’t control what names all of a sudden take off as being guest stars because they’re not,” Strong told the press.
At one point, co-creator and exec producer Lee Daniels had announced that both big names were due to guest on Empire, but it sounds like Oprah wasn’t able to fit an appearance on her schedule. Daniels worked with Oprah on the movie The Butler and worked with Carey on The Butler and Precious.
via GIPHY
In general, Strong told the press we can count on seeing more of the Lyons and less guest stars in the second half of Empire‘s second season, which premieres in March,
