Everyone is quite saddened by the surprise announcement of the demise of comedian and actor Chris Rock’s marriage after it was confirmed that they are both divorcing after almost 20 years together.
So the year is coming to an end and we have been privy to the good, the bad and the over-hyped.
As always we were subjected to that batch of celebs that for whatever reason have the ability to dominate the social landscape without showing any signs of retirement.
Here is our list of over-rated celebs that may posses the fame and fortune but lack the validity required for their over-hyped status:
Taylor Swift – She is adorable that is true and her music serves a cute portion of the population but from where we are standing, this Princess of Pop doesn’t have the charisma needed to make her the “Tourism Ambassador of New York” or any of the other assigned honors she seems to be racking up daily. Her talent is passable but far from impressive or innovative. We hate to admit it but the only thing exciting about Swift is…. (We are still working on this)
Bill Cosby might be silent when it comes to refuting the serious allegations being levied on him but that doesn’t mean that the embattled comedian isn’t hard at work behind the scenes.
John Galliano has been slowly solidifying his comeback after being banished from the kingdom and losing coveted position as the creative director of Christian Dior back in 2011, after his drunken racist rant against Jews was caught on film and shopped around for the sole purpose of destroying the famed designer.
This has to fall into the category of the dumbest piece ever written. The Hollywood Reporter understandably has to find innovative ways to entertain so as to not bore readers and most of the time they score – but there are those moments that leave us scratching heads.
Azealia Banks is not ready to give up the fight when it comes to the ongoing debate she initiated with rival “Igloo Australia” (Sorry Iggy but we actually prefer this moniker to yours) regarding the appropriation issues within the hip-hop community.
The critics have spoken! Selma – the highly touted film that seems to be a godsend for those of us who are immersed in the trenches of racial strife is officially a raving success and worthy of all the praise and adulation.
It has been almost three years since actor and filmmaker Bill Duke unleashed Dark Girls – a documentary that examined the plight of women with dark skin, navigating a society and community that still devalues their existence. It was a troubling film that served no other purpose than to painfully reiterate what we already know.
Embattled comedian Bill Cosby is definitely not ending the year on a good note. The past couple of months have been an intense litany of putrid accusations that have done an immaculate job tarnishing what was seemingly a flawed reputation.
Jay-Z turned 45 recently, which may have inspired his recent jaunt to none other than Iceland with his ladylove.
