Did Chris Brown show Bow Wow his winky? / Stupid Tweets / Reflections

This post is deeper than it sounds. Hang out for the reflections. Maybe dissing your fans or "groupies" in a tweet is cool these days. Charlie Sheen's unhinged rants sent his twitter following through the roof. But no one is expecting anything profound from Mr. Mercury Surfboard. They just want to witness the crash and burn of a star. That says a lot about human nature. Bow Wow dissing a groupie, probably while sitting right next to him or her, made me think he's a bit of a bastard. Did he think that groupie wouldn't see the tweet, and put two and two together? What kind of "groupie" wouldn't be following his tweets? Anyway ... The groupie diss was around the time Chris Brown flashed his somewhat impressive winky to the world (whoring himself for his forthcoming F.A.M.E. release). An apparently cranky Bow Wow was wrapping up his Underrated Tour in Europe, having very noisy nights because a hotel neighbor left him a snarky note. We'll get back to the note in a minute. On the music tip, here's a pretty awesome (and romantic) Chris Brown, Bow Wow, Pleasure P collabo. It sets a nice tone for this post. It was the below tweet that made me wonder, and admittedly read between lines. Okay, I'm a writer so my imagination runs amok sometimes. Maybe I'm just hungry for a black male rock star couple to paraphrase Keyshia Cole and say "F*ck it, this is us!" Maybe. But still I wondered the most unimportant things ever: Who was the first recipient of Chris Brown's winky pic? And did someone even get a live Skype show first? So ...when Bow tweeted -- Spoke to Breezy today, thats my bro. On life. Naturally my imagination projected romantic undertones. If Chris Brown sent me that pic I'd be his bro, too. Forever. Did they even discuss the picture? Maybe the wisdom of putting it out there in the first place? You gotta wonder. Okay you don't gotta, but you can. And many do. Some do even more. Back to the noise complaint Bow Wow received from a hotel neighbor in Room 905. It was the comments below the note (which Bow posted via Twitpic) that made me wonder about other things, and even re-think this post. SwaggerJackerr: You and Omarion must've been gettin it in again huh (pause) This Swagger person, according to his profile, is a motivational speaker and navy vet. Hmmm.... Why would a navy vet go to Bow's doorstep to piss on his porch? Are his sexual activities that important to him? But he's just one of many cyber stalkers with an obvious hard on for Shad Moss. KassieSassy123: he got it in di BATTY thats y he was making so much noise BATTY BOIII And this Kassie person is all over Bow's Twitpic posts, taunting him, calling him BATTY BOI everywhere. Then there's this ominous comment... ... below a sweet picture of Bow as baggage waiting to be picked up. I could run with that analogy (and objectify the sh*t out of him), but I won't. TheRoyalBaby: aawwww cute......I hope u die tomorrow u sick bastered [bastard?] This 'lovely young lady' [included to show not just DL black males hate on Shad], when not wishing death on Bow Wow, is a Justin Bieber fan. She probably stalks him, too. Is this all just the price of fame? Was Bow seriously suicidal awhile back when Raz B pulled him into the molestation mess? Are we driving our young celebs to the brink? More specially, do we cannibalize the young black males we suspect might be closeted and drive them further in? Yes. We do. But there are no solutions. No fixes. This post began as a 'Stupid Tweet' post but turned into something else. Because we'll always be fascinated. We'll always want to know more. We'll always speculate, or like was done here, scrounge between twitter lines for something salacious. And the crazies will always stalk and torment (hopefully only from afar). And yes, that is the price of fame. You're on stage and the world is your critic, firing off loving and vile reviews in 140 characters or less. People should have their heads examined for wanting the FAME MONSTER in the first place. Note to Bow: Spike Lee said it best - "Always do the right thing". That covers how you treat groupies and that 'other stuff'. Some people want to see you crash and burn. But some of us want to see you soar. Stay strong. Note to Chris Brown: Stop showing your winky to the rest of us. It's tacky (and cruel). Note to Omarion: *See advice above.*

Wanna see Chris Brown's winky? Wait no more ....

Hey Chris, I already pre-ordered so you didn't have to show me your winky. But much appreciated. Yes, baby. Much. Ahhh.... there are no words. Well, maybe a few. This looks very real to me, and coincidentally F.A.M.E. drops on Mar. 22. Hmmmm.... Let's not even get into the subject of whoring oneself for FAME... Just be glad that some do. ;-) Now pull out of your dirty Chris fantasy (the one where he's rough sexin' you to the wall)... ... and listen to the romantic Chris below, ... from In My Zone 2 ... which many have slept on. It's been in heavy rotation around here for awhile. Njoy ... Also ... Check out this reaction to Chris' nudity. Priceless ...

GLEE rules ... (Hey, Soul Sister)

They sing the fcuk outta this cover of Hey, Soul Sister. Though the visual doesn't exactly match the awesomeness of the vocal. ["I'm so gansta, I'm so thug..."] -- No, Boo, you're not. But that's a good thing. ←Blaine (Darren Criss), is so adorable calling himself a gansta I'm a fan forever. Download the full version and blast it on your iPod, then tell me it doesn't put a bounce in your day. Play it back to back with the original by TRAIN (below), which is itself a masterpiece (and a much better visual). I could write a thesis on why GLEE is so necessary, and so cool. Suffice it to say, the feeling that this song gives me is the essence of this deservedly award winning show -- which never ceases to make me misty, laugh and smile in every single episode. It's why GLEE rules.

Fiction du jour: Caught off Base

'Ange' picks up a lost waif in the rain... Interesting beginning. Salacious in its implications even ... for Tyler (the waif) quickly calls Ange a "pervert". But as the story unfolds quickly the sexual tension and angst over past relationships makes Caught Off Base a sexy and heartfelt introduction to author JM Snyder. The story is expertly written, sexual situations nicely teased out, with even the ominous rise of the antagonist (Lamar) who I wanted to jump into the story to protect Tyler from. The only complaint is the length. It's too short for the 2.99 price. Should have been .99cents. However its only a mild complaint because I enjoyed the story, and JM Snyder is now on my radar. The character of Ange is from an earlier Snyder book called Stepping Up to the Plate, which I haven't read yet but its on my to do list. ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ Five stars for quality characters and prose ... minus one for length.
