Alright so...I'm at
Sirius XM chillin on the Shade 45 side of life with the awesome and fabulous
Sway from MTV and Gabrielle Union walks in looking like the beauty queen she
has always been (she's even gorgeous in a sweat suit, I wanted to slap
this chick). Sway was getting his interview situation going with her and
in-between air time, I managed to slide in a question with her. I asked
her if she finds herself having to be selective about the work that she accepts
as a black actress in Hollywood.
She said, 'YES she does have to be quite selective about the roles she chooses because she thinks of her family, and at the end of the day, it is her legacy that she will leave behind for the next generations.'
So...okay, I know that soooo many people have opinions of Gabrielle Union because of the whole D. Wade divorce situation, but honestly who knows what really happened? I don't know her anymore than I know an Austrailan go-go dancer from Tokyo, but I do know what she said to me was REAL.
It saddens me to think about the entertainment industry and the people who are willing to compromise their COMPLETE integrity and self-respect in an attempt to be "famous", "envied by their peers", and the like. This generation (for some sad reason) finds entertainment in so many things that have nothing to do with talent. And then, if any talent does exist, it gets drowned in a gimmick because that is what will sell and make some "big wig" at the head of the company "filthy rich" instead of "hella rich". You have chicks who have sold their bodies to men who poke fun at their desperation to be in their world, and then in the same vein call themselves a "Boss B*tch". I'm sorry, I didn't know Oprah clapped cheeks for ANYONE to be the multi- Ka-Gillionaire she is. I'm tired of women thinking that the only way for them to get ahead in this industry is if they're bootys are pumped up with Fix-a-Flat and they used a whole bottle of baby oil gel to be naked for some undeserving, ugly ass rapper.
Just think about this. On TV-One there is a show called, "Unsung". This show is a direct example of how people who wanted to be in the spotlight so bad STILL had depression, and grief in their life. Some of them aren't here anymore because they failed to understand what true happiness is.
I'm not here to kill anyone's party, but I feel like so many people don't understand the saying that "everything that glitters, isn't gold". --- I'm glad that one was taught to me from an early age. (Thank you Daddy).
