DANCE TO THIS PEOPLES!

Southern rapper Hurricane Chris caught heat from a political figure after performing his "Halle Berry" ode in front of the Louisiana Legislature in June.
The New Orleans representative Austin Badon said, "The words they were using in the song were just extremely derogatory, they were foul," he said in an interview. "They were curse words, using the 'N' word. It was just a derogatory song. I have no idea [what the lyrics mean]."
Prior to performing for the legislature, Chris talked about why he made the song.
"I thought about one of the most beautiful women in the world today," he told the officials. "And I said Halle Berry, you know a lot of women look at her and say 'I wanna be beautiful like Halle Berry,' but you know, we got a lot of different types of women. Different colors, shapes and sizes. I just wanted to let 'em know that it didn't matter what you look like, if you feel like you Halle Berry and got your comfort high, that's what it is."

UMA THURMAN TO PLAY UGANDAN REBEL SUPER-NUN

Kwani? Allow me to ask. Everytime there is a Caucasian hero or heroine, they are off to save the ignorant Africans.
Case in point.
Will Raee a Hollywood film director says his next film will be about Uganda’s notorious rebels and how they kidnapped more than 100 convent schoolgirls. Raee told the BBC that Girl Soldier will star Uma Thurman as the heroine nun who pursues the rebels into the bush and helps some girls escape.
“The film is incredibly fictionalised in certain areas,” Raee told the BBC’s Network Africa programme. LRA rebels often mutilate their victims, cutting off lips, ears and noses.
“We’re basically telling the story of girls who were abducted and forced into slavery and forced into fighting a rebel war they didn’t want to be a part of. I want people to watch this and feel that they’re watching a documentary in a sense, so we’re really trying to keep this as authentic as possible,” he said.
