We don’t usually talk about him much, but since Rihanna was the last post. We will give him airtime just because of her association with him. This cover is so wrong. it’s like a marriage between the sleeve to Prince’s film Graffiti Bridge and Paula Abdul’s video for “Opposites Attract.” What a mess.

Disney’s first black Princess Tiana

It’s about time! Disney’s new animated movie has a black female as the main character. The Princess & The Frog is an old tale that’s getting a revamping of sorts by Disney. It will be done in Disney’s traditional “by hand” animation. It will also feature Oprah Winfrey as the voice of Tiana’s mother Eudora. We can’t wait for this! She already has her own float in Disney World, click below to see it.

Still not OK with the supposed homophobic remarks he had made, even though he says he was misquoted. But, I have to say I am a big fan and, personally, I think he is one of the queerest people I have seen in my life, and I have seen many queens. Anyway, this is his 23rd and I am sure it holds some gems as do all his releases. The cover is horrific, but he is not known for his covers (check out Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic). Lotusflow3r will probably be more big-band and less soul. But, that’s OK.

I don’t know what exactly is happening with Prince Harry. Either he’s a bona fide rebel or just going crazy before rehab. Right after his anti-arab slur comes this. I don’t know whether this is from the same video or not. But, could he be homosexual? I mean that lick is hardcore. Or isn’t? Check out this article:

Prince Harry uses anti-Arab racial slur…

First it was his costume party outfit of the Nazi war general and now this. Also, I remember an incident in Afghanistan when he wore a cap that had a American flag on it that read “We do bad things to bad people,” which I thought was horrid. I mean, this is not just the folly of youth. This one is demented thug that obviously thinks that he is superior to every other race and culture. The royal family are going to have to do a lot of damaged control if they want to maintain what little legitimacy they have to the rest of the world. This is just not acceptable. Especially from the third in line for the world’s greatest colonial power.
