One of Your Friends Might Be a Blackface Barack Obama for Halloween. Should You Get Upset?

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner on Gossip Girl?

Don't Believe 'The Game' Hype

I Already Know 'Good Hair'
Although I have heard that 'Good Hair' is as funny as I would expect any Chris Rock movie to be, I am going to have to sit this one out. This is the case partly because I am cheap but mostly because I feel like I already know this movie without watching it. Trying to figure out what exactly was wrong with my hair used to be a part of my life and it has not been a laughing matter.
