Michael Jackson musical...new documentary  Mar 6 2019, 04:07:45 PM

It's painfully obvious the people criticizing the documentary have not seen it.

10 Undeniable Facts About the Michael Jackson Sexual-Abuse Allegations

The author, who spent more than a decade covering the scandal for V.F., shares the key revelations and insights that viewers of the new HBO documentary Leaving Neverlandneed to know.

Michael Jackson musical...new documentary  Mar 5 2019, 10:44:48 PM

The cult of personality is strong.

I think it's pretty clear that those who accuse Wade Robson and James Safechuck of doing this documentary for fame and fortune have not bothered to watch it. Of all of the complaints leveled at the film, this is the most ridiculous. Especially coming from the Jackson family.

This show is never going to happen.



Will Glenn Close get her Oscar for Sunset?  Feb 25 2019, 02:25:32 PM

Patti LuPone FANatic said: "I really enjoyed her role in "The Wife." I was actually rooting for her to win. I think that more Oscar voters went ahead with the flashier film with known stars, rather than vote for an independent film with one star. I was so upset, I put the winner's acceptance speech on mute."

You missed a great speech.

"I cant imagine theres anything new or that shocking in this doc, these people and accusations have been out for decades. Its just that people actually pay attention now with the recent movements in the entertainment industry."

From what I've heard that's not the case. I know someone who was at the screening and he said it left the audience in shock. Everyone knew about R, Kelly for years but it took the Lifetiime doc to get his record label to finally drop him.


 Jan 26 2019, 08:45:56 AM

I think after Leaving Neverland airs on HBO this is going to be a hard sell.



Wow... A STAR IS BORN snub?!  Jan 7 2019, 07:03:49 PM

You guys are about three years late. Madonnna is a cartoon. Nice try though I guess? The whole civility thing was fun while it lasted!

I'm not going to make this a Madonna vs. Lady Gaga battle.

Like I said, the mod was right and I admit this was the wrong threatd to bring this up. This is not just a problem with Lady Gaga. I could be having the same exact discussion about Jay Z, Erykah Badu or many others. So it's not really about Lady Gaga either.



Wow... A STAR IS BORN snub?!  Jan 7 2019, 06:44:39 PM

"Nope.  Like most of us women, we've been sexually harassed or assaulted multiple times in life.  Some people have triggers, and you should probably RESPECT that not judge people to do what they are no comfortable doing. If you aren't a women, you will never fully understand. Ever."

Funny for you to say that as you discount the word of countless women of color who have spoken out against Kelly.

And if you don't believe Lifetime several other n


Wow... A STAR IS BORN snub?!  Jan 7 2019, 06:19:00 PM

"It's NOT her responsibility, or any celebrity to speak out about a child molester. It's not their job."

It's this type of thinking, especially by people in power (like Lady Gaga, Jay Z, etc) that allow these things to go on for so long.

R. Kelly was a known abuser, especially by people in the industry, when these celebrities CHOSE to work with him.

"The victims have come forward, and some are still inside the statue of limitations for sexu

GeorgeandDot said: "I don't see why Gaga should have to apologize for anything. She didn't abuse anyone. I hate this trend of finding the nearest woman associated with a toxic man and raking them over the coals. The same thing happened to Meryl Streep with Weinstein. No one else should be held responsible for the actions of an abuser."

Umm no. It's not just women. It's Jay-Z, Questlove and many others. 

 



Wow... A STAR IS BORN snub?!  Jan 7 2019, 04:46:28 PM

TotallyEffed said: "What do you want her to do?"

This is actually such an easy question to answer I'm surprised anyone would ask it.

Lady Gaga should follow the example of others who have spoken out.

Take Tank for example, a supporter of R Kelly until recently who said:

"“We’ve invested so much of ourselves into this man that it’s hard for us to let go. I no longer have that issue,” Tank, who has been

TotallyEffed said: "Ah, so you were just making things up. I thought so.

You realize Gaga didn't rape anyone, right? Do you expect Macaulay Culkin to apologize for working with Donald Trump in Home Alone 2?

Give it up, Kwang.
"

LOL. Correcting myself isn't making things up. And the truth is WORSE than what I said originally.

I guess you're cool with people defeding child rapists.

Where is your source for that quote?
"

Actually I was wrong! The real story is even worse.

To this date, the only reason Lady Gaga has given for canceling the video that was basically


Wow... A STAR IS BORN snub?!  Jan 7 2019, 02:50:00 PM

Jay-Z, Lady Gaga, Dave Chappelle Declined to Speak for ‘Surviving R. Kelly,’ Producer Says

“Most people just don’t want to touch it,” Hampton said. “[Questlove] was like, ‘I would do anything for you but I can’t do this.’ It’s not because they support him, it’s because it’s so messy and muddy. It’s that turning away that has allowed this to go on.”



Wow... A STAR IS BORN snub?!  Jan 7 2019, 02:40:06 PM

Yeah it's five years old because that's the last thing she said about it.

The last time Lady Gaga decided to talk about R. Kelly she DEFENDED HIM.

Also the reason given for cancelling that video is that her team decided it was too "sexually explicit". Not because he is a child rapist. She still chose to perform the song with him on SNL.



Wow... A STAR IS BORN snub?!  Jan 7 2019, 02:36:46 PM

The last comment she made about R. Kelly was " "R Kelly and I have sometimes (had) very untrue things written about us so, in a way, this was a bond between us."

She has refused to say anything negative about him or participate in Surviving R. Kelly.

You can't defend a sexual predator of children and still fancy yourself an advocate.

 



Wow... A STAR IS BORN snub?!  Jan 7 2019, 02:12:42 PM

I was very happy to see Lady Gaga go home empty handed. Not only was her performance wildly overrated. She STILL refuses to speak out against R. Kelly. 

The less we see of her the better.



Trump supporter- Strikes again! At wicked!  Nov 30 2018, 03:13:08 PM

GreeneStreet said: "His actions of shouting at the theatre, is NOT my fault. If anything its the liberal’s fault. If you didn’t complain about everything and anything trump does, you wouldn’t see this behavior."

That's definitely some Trump logic.
