The nominations for NAACP Image Awards are in. And, considering that this awards ceremony is presented by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to honor outstanding individuals of color in television, film, music and literature; the “Outstanding Reality Series” nominees are bothersome to me, as a black brother.

Here are the programs running for the Outstanding Reality Series award:

• “American Idol 8? (FOX)
• “America’s Next Top Model” (CW)
• “Dancing With the Stars” (ABC)
• “Extreme Makeover” (ABC)
• “Real Housewives of Atlanta” (Bravo)

I’m totally disgusted, to say the least. First of all, these television shows are not aimed at an urban audience. Secondly, the shows in question have done damage to our simple enjoyments. (more…)

Former Victoria’s Secret model, Tyra Banks says she recently shed a whopping 30 pounds. “I switched up my unhealthy eating habits,” said Banks. “Now I can really say — kiss my fat ass.”

Banks credits nutritionist Heather Bauer for helping the television show host to re-evaluate her eating habits. “It’s about working with what you’ve got, and knowing, and learning what’s right for your body,” said Banks. “I feel good about my curves and my imperfections — my booty, my boobs, my thighs — I embrace it all.”

I for one say Tyra Banks has some fucking nerve. What kind of role model is this fake hair-wearing mongoose being, to display to young teenage girls that it’s okay to be obsessed and/or insecure with their God-given images? (more…)
