Rihanna has lost her damned mind…

It was recently announced that Rihanna has decided to go back to Chris Brown. All I can say is that this is not OK. If these two want to fade into the distance with their ridiculous behavior, that’s fine but they shouldn’t expect society at large to support their reconciliation. Ladies, it is never ok to go back to a man who has been abusive. I don’t care what the situation is, a man who will beat you is no man at all.

If you want to read the full story, you can find it here.

Whether they know it or not, these two pop stars have had a huge impact on our youth and all they are doing now is teaching the kids who idolize them that it is okay to beat up on the one you love. They’ll forgive you. This is what I like to call irresponsible bullshit. I hope that radio stations and other media outlets will not try to play up some stupid romantic angle on this story. That would be a real shame.

Until next time…

A Sad Day…

As with the untimely death of any celebrity, this news left me with a very sick feeling. It simply doesn’t make sense. He was a great actor and had so much potential. It’s hard to comment on events such as these without sounding dumb, however, I wanted to take a moment just to say that my heart goes out to his family as they try to deal with the loss.

It can’t be easy, especially when the news is covering the story around the clock. Hopefully, the networks will be sensitive to the family and they’ll try to stay focused on the positives such as how great he was in such movies as The Patriot, 10 Things I Hate About You and the rest.

Here’s a clip from one of my favorite Heath Ledger films. Something to make you smile as you remember this young actor.

Until Next Time…
