The Frog Princess: The 1st African-American Disney Princess

Finally, and wheres the latin princess, btw? One step at a time.



Disney's The Frog Princess, due in 2009, will tell the story of Maddy, a young girl living in the french quarter of 1920s New Orleans. Jazz era! woo hoo, this better mean good disney music. Thankfully, the higher-ups have chosen to continue the tradition of classic 2D animation, i was worried for a bit. Maddy joins the ranks of 8 other disney princesses, with prince Jasmine being the first non-white disney character, followed by Pocahontas and Mulan.



Characters Will Include:



  • Maddy - A 19-year-old chambermaid.
  • Charlotte La Bouff - A 18-year-old spoiled, southern Debutante and Diva.
  • Dr. Duvalier - An African American Voodoo magician/fortune teller. The villain of the movie.
  • Mama Odie - An elderly, 200-year-old Voodoo priestess/fairy god-mother. [seriously, voodoo priestess? oh Disney...]
  • Ray - A lovesick Cajun firefly. [amazing :)]
  • Louis - A Jazz singer alligator.
  • Prince Harry - A gregarious, fun-loving European Prince, in his early twenties.
  • Lawrence - Prince Harry's pompous valet.
  • Big Daddy La Bouff - Wealthy, Southern plantation landowner and father of Charlotte La Bouff. [AKA Whitey]
  • Eudora - Maddy's mother. In her fifties. Used to be Charlotte's nurse maid.
  • George - The La Bouff family's cook.
  • Little Arila - Maddy's little sister. She's little, but very smart.

Beat It

um, can someone teach me to do this?

Little video clips with distorted audio have been popping up on youtube and this myspace has also posted some videos and cryptic hintings.

ANTM Cycle 8 - The Girl Who Takes Credit

March 28, 2007 - The girls get a tough lesson about what to wear and what not to wear by two fashion mavens. Next, the models must work in groups to create a department store display using themselves as mannequins. One model takes the advice of her teammates, but later takes all the credit for it. At the photo shoot, the girls must transcend their gender by posing as men alongside male models who pose as women. One model shocks everyone as she transforms into her male character.

I like Renee, Jael, and even Natasha now. I disliked Diana and shes gone, yay. Um...what else? Oh, this challenge was cheesy as hell but the photoshoot was kind of fun. And seriously Sarah, is it that hard to give some credit to Dionne and Renee, geez. Natasha was fuckin hilarious. Im still somewhat ambivalent about this cycle, The Search For the Next PCD is actually more exciting to me. Melissa R. ftw! Filipina Pride! Whoop-di-whoot, hey hey hey...

Gender Swap: Androgynous...

Brittany: Red-Neck Couple. Ugly-face is always good, photowise




Diana: High Society? Male or female, this bitch is boring. Later loser.



Dionne: Power Couple. Imporovement.



Jael: Hippy. Shrug, not up to par.



Jaslene: Sailor. Looked like shit during the show, but a good picture.



Natasha: Hip Hop-ish. Hilarious, she should dress up and play characters always.



Renee: Glam Rock. Awesome jacket, just awesome.



Sarah: Thom Yorke is boring.



Whitney: Other couple...Seriously, her boobs are huge and they put like 18 layers of clothing on her, cmon.




Stats
Bottom two: Diana Zalewski & Whitney Cunningham
Eliminated: Diana Zalewski
Featured photographer: ?
Special guest(s):A pair of annoying male model twins, that woman from Elite
CoverGirl of the Week: Whitney Cunningham

Michael Jackson, Still Crazy

According to reports, Michael Jackson plans on have a 50-foot robotic replica of himself erected in the desert surrounding Las Vegas.

Consultant Mike Luckman of Luckman Van Pier, tells the New York Daily News, "It would be in the desert sands. Laser beams would shoot out of it so it would be the first thing people flying would see. Neon is wonderful, but it's old school."

Luckman's partner, designer Andre Van Pier, adds, "Michael's looked at the sketches and likes them."


Hey, remember when Michael Jackson was amazing. I know i've said it before, but i still contend that the world would be a better place, lacking war and poverty, if MJ were still a black man.

Let me take you on a journey:


Jackson 5 - ABC


Jackson 5 - Want You Back


Michael Jackson - Smooth Criminal

Vote For The Worst

American Idol is an embarassing excuse for reality tv. What is with America's strange Abusive-Daddy-England fetish? I don't really watch this show ever. Ok, yes, i sometimes tune in to see the crappy auditions, but its depressing and kind of evil. I wouldn't mind the souless humor at other's expense, but they pretend to be so innocent in their mockery. Remember WB Superstar, where they tricked all the contestents into thinking they were good/attractive singers/performers? Now that show was evil! Bring that shit back.



Anyways, The Vote For The Worst website has made it a point to not only expose America Idol for being utterly phony, but also urges the American public to "vote for the worst", the worst being Sanjaya Malaker this season.

http://www.votefortheworst.com


Here, the attempt to debunk several myths about the AI audition process.

TV Show Round-up: Asps and Rafts

RIP Rome: Ancient roman/greek/egyptian history is my favorite type of history. In fact, i've really never cared for the history of anything else. This show was well written, well acted, and always fulfilled my quota for bloodlust as well as regular-lust. The series finale was drama and suicide filled and i am very sad to see the series go when shows like American Idol are still in existence.



Pullo, you shall be missed


The L Word

  • Bette/Jodi: Is that a tractor?
  • Tina/Homosexuality: Henry who?
  • Alice/Tasha: Goodbye, favorite new character


  • Shane/Paige: Take it sleazy, least favorite new character. It's b/c of you that i find shane's sex scenes boring now.
  • Jenny/Merkin: On a raft out to sea?
  • Kit/Mangus/Papi: whatever...bring back Papi but smarter and nakeder.
  • Helena/Catherine: where is helena gonna go with all that money?
  • Max: thanks for the wishy-washy transgender storyline TLW
  • Phyllis/Joyce: At least 1 cut & dry happy ending


What do I do with my life now?

The Tudors - Apr. 1, 10PM; Watch episodes 1 & 2 here.


looks like it will rival Rome in terms of gratuitous sex scenes. check.


Entourage - Apr. 8; Yay boys SATC

Weeds - Summer 2007
