Damn Vol. 8 (Takers Movie Edition)
Last night in an advanced screening, I saw the movie Takers. It’s in theaters tomorrow.
The film stars:
Michael Ealy
Idris Elba and that dumbass accent he insists on using
Hayden Christensen
Clifford T.I. Harris
Jay Hernandez
Matt Dillon
That Negro from The Practice with the bothersome lips
That Negro from The Wire
Chris Brown
Paul Walker
Other than the fact that it’s utterly difficult to maintain all brain cells and control cravings when looking at Walker, I liked the movie. It was what I call “stressful”. The team of 6 cohorts conspire to rob Armory trucks, a-la-Dead Presidents. When the other characters insisted on making their way onto the screen during the two hour running time, I cringed. John Rahway, played by Paul, is the eyes of the operation– he’s a sniper. An insanely hot sniper. Not sure if it was the meticulous portrayal of John’s mania, or his ridiculous eyes that tipped me over the edge.
P.S.: Why is this flick only rated PG-13? Was it the gratuitous violence they thought was inappropriate? The crackheads? The race mixing?
Loved him since Varsity Blues. An awful ’90′s movie I dragged my mother to see with me…because (aside from the rating)…
Motion for a law requiring Paul Walker to be topless at all times.
Unless he’s cold.
With me, of course, that would never happen.
He is definitely allowed to put a baby in me.
And he’s already in position.

The Morning After: The BET Awards 2010
Kanye’s finally back!
Instead of show opener, he should have been show closer.
This year the performances stole the show. For the first time in a long time-and certainly over last year’s monstrosity- I enjoyed the BET Awards.
Of course no Awards anything is complete without The Beyonce Diddy.
They really aren’t doing anything to dispel that “King Latifah” rumor. Every other intro they had her looking like a butch.
Diddy looked drunk. His boys in Dirty Money were keeping together for the most part, but the show just looked all over the place. Besides, I can’t possibly be the only one tired of seeing
Rawse.
B.o.B. was straight. What I didn’t understand was–that in the absence of Hayley Williams, why Keyshia Cole felt the need to put on a blond wig. Or what she had to do with it.
Eminem’s was a performance I made sure I didn’t miss because I was inhaling a plate of food. Glad I waited. Then I feasted.
What’s disturbing can be seen @ 4:56. DeBarge (who everyone in that auditorium should know) goes down into the audience during “Rhythym of The Night”. Pay attention to the tall negro in all white everything. He couldn’t look more detached from the situation. Could he tell he wasn’t looking @ Enrique Iglesias?
Don’t care where they dug El Debarge up from. He ripped it. Hands Down. Period.
-He’s also coming out with a new album- For info check Sound-Savvy here.
I liked this.
But then there was this.
I love Ludacris. He’s always refreshing. Yet I can’t help but wonder why I didn’t like this performance.
Drake performance. Didn’t really do anything for me.
Jezzy’s all white everything straight jacket was cool though. He just forgot to tie the straps.
And then there was Prince.
Warning:
If you stare directly into his eyes…there’s no guarantee you’ll return.
No one IN LIFE can wear a turtleneck. In the summertime. In Los Angeles. WITH A PICTURE OF HIMSELF ON IT. IT WILL NEVER WORK OUT. ON ANYONE ELSE. EVER. AGAIN.
P.S.: If Stevie goes…I’m out!
And of course, the best performance of the night:
But we’ve already spoken about this.
1,000x better than last year’s monstrosity. BET did Michael Jackson justice.

Chris Brown Did NOT Give The Best MJ Tribute
Yea, I said it.
Perhaps the most talked about/tweeted about moment of the 10th annual BET Awards happened right here:
Though this was the best performance of the night,
Don’t get caught up in C. Brown’s tears. This was not nearly the best MJ tribute ever.
This was.
Did all you [insert 5-letter adjective here]s forget Janet’s demolition at the 2009 VMA’s??
Don’t get me wrong. I am not a Chris Brown “hater” nor am I taking anything away from him. Should he remain imprisoned for the rest of his life? No. I mean, did he cry like that for Rihanna? But Breezy indeed, did rip it.
BUT
Nothing (short of Michael himself) compares to Janet taking the stage with the dancers hand-picked by Michael to appear with him on stage during the “This Is It Tour”. Janet got to dance with her brother again. Every move sharp. Every turn on point coincided perfectly with the “Scream” video (which, happened to be the most expensive music vid ever made– costing over $7mil.)
The performances elicited 2 different responses:
Janet: Goosebumps & tears. Yet again I wept like a baby when Ms. Jackson performed that. You would’ve thought I was at least a third cousin, twice removed.
Chris Brown: Jaw drop. Is this [insert 5-letter adjective here] cryin’ on stage like that? He just gave up. Right there. And let it all out.
For what it’s worth, it was a very emotional moment. Do I condone men weeping for no reason? Nope. Leave that to us women. In this circumstance, it was kind of understood.
Just because he cried does not make it the best Michael Jackson tribute ever.
Any strong display of emotion tends to grip an otherwise skeptical audience, and causes 1 of 2 reactions:
1. Attraction: Appealing to sheer humane emotion, a stronger bond is established between audience and subject:
2. Repulsion: Gets the subject further away from Intent. Usually met by said audience with laughter instead.
In this case, there was a little bit of both. In fact, he just might have saved his career a-la-R.Kelly.
But that’s another post for another time.
Sorry.

New Vid: T.I.- Yeah You Know (Takers)
No, this is not an account of the events leading up to T.I.’s arrest.
Just a vid the trailer from the movie Takers, (pause) starring Paul Walker, nevermind anyone else Idris Elba, Paul Walker, Michael Ealy, T.I., Matt Dillon, Hayden Christensen, & Zoe Saldana. Oh yeah, Chris Brown’s in it too. With a weird mustache.
Anywho, takers comes out 8/20.
Looks stressful.

Last Night On The American Music Awards
Hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, I tuned into the show, (I’ll be honest, I forgot they were on until I started channel surfing)
First up:
Jamie Foxx presented the award for the like best female singer or something. Then he went into this thing about his album coming out and it sounded like a commercial.
NKOTB performed. It was weird, the crotch grabbing. I coulda done w/ out that and Marky Mark’s brothers rapping. And sunglasses. And belt.
And their shirts that sparkled.
& whose this? lmao
T- Pain was dressed like a zebra.
Paris Hilton can’t read. Still.
Muted Pink’s performance.
Muted Taylor Swift’s performance.
Here were some noteables:
Beyonce & her homeboy again
You know who already…
Miley Cyrus’ performance was actually cool. I like that song. I blame my little cousins!
(Don’t look @ the comp screen like that. You must have some little kids around u in ur life somewhere)
All in all, Kanye, Alicia & Rihanna were victors for the night. But by far, Chris Brown took home the most awards w/ 3.
Now even though he didn’t perform, I still feel compelled to post this:
It’s not so much the song as it is his pants. I could do w/ out the gratuitous body rolling though.
Well…u get it right?
Love,
Ms. Officer
Ludacris- Theatre Of The Mind
He’s released his album cover…and I like it. As I do damn near everything Ludacris does.
It’s very creative.
Allow yourself to enjoy his latest video, Undisputed featuring Money-May-weather himself:
I bet Floyd’s still ‘Gettin that cash, gettin’ that money’, & ‘makin it rain’ even with a recession taking place.
Ludacris in Jordan underarmour? Yes Please! I’ll have seconds!
And of course you know I love this song w/ Chris Brown & Jamie Foxx Sean Garrett:
I’m looking forward to that album release on 11/25
…Of course I know it’s leaked already buuuuuut
don’t u wanna actually go out & get it?
Relax & Take Notes!
Love,
Ms. Officer
Nas Feat. Chris Brown & The Game
The video’s finally out for this song! But you never see the 3 of them @ the same timeeeeeeee…….
Weeee Make The World Go ‘Round!
Tight song. Good work as usual Nasir.

*Ms. Officer
Tenderoni
Yum. The mere virtue of the fact that I’m even looking @ this dude makes me feel like
drooling all over him, but he is right. (Only after he turned 18 tho. The age diff is not that big.) His music is tight, I’ve always liked it but for some reason I like him more than ever now.
Yes, we are all well aware of 
but we also know that 2 light skinned people together looks like a snoooozefest
So, for your viewing pleasure & mine, may I present Mr. Tenderoni ’08, Chris Brown
hell yes.
Oh Dear.
Maybe he’s been hanging out w/ Elephant man too much.
But he is skrong too. Now I know he can pick me up. You know how I feel about guys picking me up…
Yep,
Love,
*Ms. Officer
MTV’s VMA’s 2008
Just some quick thoughts on how I saw the MTV Video Music Awards.
Something just didn’t seem right about T-Pain’s entrance atop an elephant, but I can’t figure out what. Maybe you can help me out:
Then he had the nerve to take the stairs down from it. Immediately I thought of:
-Rihanna did not sing during her performance of Disturbia. I honestly did not know how that was going to come out. It worked in the video, but live…eh…
Chris Brown looked good though. 
Real good. Mmmmm.
-Everybody Looks The Same To Me Vol. 4:
Then Jamie Foxx Came out & picked up where that Russel Brand Bland whatever his name is person kinda left the audience saggin.
Or was it Sean Garrett I can’t tell the difference.
-They showed a clip of Ne-Yo & I know he’s gearing up for “The Year of the Gentleman” but recently he looks like hes been wearing the same thing.
Over
hahah lets see that one again
woooo gurl
and over
and over again
I mean, I know he changes his clothes but its just….Maybe its the hat that’s throwing me off. Or something else…
-Then there were The Jonas Brothers, who were the butt of this guy’s 
‘jokes’ all night.
But is that a drop curl?
< Did he use rollers?
Then there was your favorite whimsical rapper & mine, Lil’ Weezyana. He had a piercing in his lip (probably induced by some sort of percocet high) but I’m certain one of u finds that sexy.
-What does Leona Lewis have to do w this?
Wait a minute, was that a patent leather top hat?
Dis negro just does whatever he wants.
-Christina Aguilera performed.
She moved a lot like Janet. Did u see those vouging girls behind her? Only one word to describe them dudes: Fierece! But this did sound wayyy too much like
Which I just can’t stand. Trust me when I was looking for this I had to pause it.
-Um, Quick note, Paris Hilton read the teleprompter better than Britney Spears. Buuuttt I missed the part where they stopped talking about: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=a356ab54cf
I don’t even know y that ‘BFF’ show was even a thought. If you watch it don’t tell me cuz I will not respect you. Or think that you have the capacity to carry on intelligent conversation.
-Wait. I gotta get back to Lil’ Wayne I’m not done.
Ummmmmm, who’s idea was it to dress him in that vest & hat? They had him up there lookin like
-But lastly, Kanye West closed out the show. I love Kanye. I thought it was a very good performance, & I actually thought he looked very nice too.
however my friend brought something to my attention & thought he resembled:
I can’t.
Love,
*Ms. Officer
