The ladies of Love Dollhouse are ready to take on the world. As the first act signed to Russell Simmons and Steve Rifkind’s label All Def Music, the teen trio—comprised of Chelsea, Ryan, and Jasmine—recently dropped their summertime single “Can I” and is readying their debut album with help from Claude Kelly, The Stereotypes, and Kadis & Sean.
Rap-Up TV caught up with the Detroit natives during a recent trip to L.A., where they dished on their music, inspirations, and dream collaborations.
While they’ve been inspired by everyone from Aaliyah to Prince, the girls have drawn comparisons to R&B groups like Destiny’s Child and TLC.
“We definitely look up to TLC,” said Ryan. “We have no problem with us being compared to them. We still wanna make our own stamp, of course.”

1926 French tennis player, Suzanne Lenglen
From time to time, tennis clothes changed, and will be going on to change…
Serena Williams, is an all-time great women’s tennis player.
TENNIS superstar Serena Williams was dealt a blow after she was banned from wearing a skin-tight “catsuit” at the French Open.
Why is Serena Williams’ catsuit banned at the French Open?
In August 2018 the French Tennis Federation president Bernard Giudicelli said the tournament that the French Open is introducing a dress code to regulate players’ uniforms.
He said that he thought the outfits worn by players sometimes go “too far.”
In an interview in Tennis Magazine’s 500th edition, Giudicelli singled out the figure-hugging black suit that Williams wore this year at Roland Garros.
She said made her feel like a superhero.
Giudicelli said: “It will no longer be accepted. One must respect the game and the place.”

Elvis Lives OnBy joanne | 25th November | Marketing Ideas
According to a recent BBC article “When Elvis Presley died in August 1977, he was reported to have around $5m (£3m) in the bank.
Last year, earnings from his estate reached an estimated $55m, second only in posthumous worth to Michael Jackson.”
What an incredible achievement and an amazing legacy to leave your family.
With a valuable brand comes additional marketing… the people who’ve bought the brand will be keen to see a return on investment. As a result, Elvis will apparently be releasing a Christmas song with Susan Boyle this year – thanks to the wonders of modern technology. And I suspect we can expect plenty more where that came from.

Cuba: Jawin 2012/ Beyonce 2013. Way to jack my swag, Bey haha :p #beyonce #beyhive #cuba
10 years ago on this day (5/18/03–5/18/13), Beyoncé released her debut single, “Crazy in Love,” featuring Jay-Z. The single spent 8 consecutive weeks as a #1 single (making it her first hit in her solo career), spent a month straight as the most downloaded song in the US, and has spent 27 weeks in the Hot 100 (15 of them being in the top 10). Today, the single has sold over 8 million copies all around the world, making it one of the best-selling singles worldwide.
Not with Eonline and their ‘exclusive Sources’ acting as if they’re Beyoncé’s personal gynecologist.

Cher is dying and telling all—according to the National Enquirer.
I once bumped into Cher backstage at an Allman Brothers concert. She was alone, leaning against a wall in a hallway—Gregg and the Brothers were out front finishing their “Les Brers In A Minor” encore—while me and the co-creator of the radio show I worked for were slinking, unsupervised, in the “green room,” where we secretly and shamelessly rifled, from a long buffet-type table, copious quantities of munchie cold cuts into our pockets and salami holes.
The Enquirer reports that Cher is going to set the record straight with a memoir that will dish the sensational details of her relationships with the men in her life, including the tempestuous passion she shared with Gregg Allman. At the time of my own encounter with Cher, she had married Gregg seven months earlier in a spontaneous bolt to Las Vegas, had filed for divorce a few days later, reconciled with him, was currently pregnant with their baby Elijah Blue, and had recently gotten back together with Sonny to do another Sonny & Cher series on CBS which was scheduled to debut in about a week. She had a lot going on—but you couldn’t tell it by the way her body was speaking that night: focused—composed—very much in control.
I almost didn’t recognize her. She wasn’t as tall as I thought she would be nor was she sparkling in a Bob Mackie spectacular like the images you always saw of her in the press and on TV. Dressed modestly, blue jeans and plain dark hues, she looked like she could have come straight off a photoshoot at the Allman Brothers’ Idlewild South Farm in Juliette, Georgia. What she didn’t look capable of, however, was conveying the razor attitude she made famous in the original Sonny and Cher show, the ambivalent put-downs that queued the laugh track whenever she cut Sonny off at the knees. I saw a vulnerability about her that evening—she appeared lovestruck as well—I too was struck, with her natural beauty.
I admired and respected Gregg but not as a partner for Cher. Sonny and Cher had actually split up before Gregg came into her life, but to the general public it appeared as if she had dumped Sonny for “Gregory,” as Cher liked to call him. For several reasons, and for quite some time, I had considered Sonny & Cher’s public marriage physically and spiritually analogous to my own increasingly melancholy relationship. I was more Sonny—dark and short. Gregg was everything I was not—tall—and his hair . . . when he rushed into the green room after the show, his hair streamed behind him like the long bright golden trail from a comet streaking through stars. In its wake, four lovely women seated on stools became extraordinarily animated. I swear I’ve never seen flesh react like that by the presence of another human. If Gregg noticed the gawping ladies hyperventilating he didn’t show it. He grabbed some stuff from a locker and left—all in one motion. I waited about a minute and poked my head out into the hall and Cher was gone too.
The National Enquirer is notorious for lacking journalistic integrity; I really really hope these reports of Cher’s imminent death are false rumors.

Guillermo del Toro’s The Shape of Water is arguably one of the best pictures of the year. It has been nominated for a slew of awards including several for the film’s actors. Noticeably absent from many of these nominations is actor Doug Jones who plays the film’s gil-man.
Now, one could argue that Jones did not get nominated for an acting award because he has no spoken lines in the film. However, the film’s star, Sally Hawkins, plays a girl who is mute. She has no spoken lines and yet she has been nominated for several awards including an Oscar nomination for her performance.
So why is it that Jones has not been recognized alongside Hawkins?
Here’s the thing. Doug Jones is a fantastic actor. He has collaborated with del Toro for years, starring in Mimic, as Abe Sapien in Hellboy and Hellboy II: The Golden Army, the Faun and the Pale Man in Pan’s Labyrinth. He has played the Silver Surfer in 2007’s Fantastic Four sequel. He has made countless television appearances including Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Strain, Arrow, The Flash, Sons of Anarchy, and Criminal minds. He is currently playing Starfleet Officer Saru in Star Trek: Discovery.
The fact is, he is in demand because of his appearance. At 6′ 4” and painfully thin, he is tailor made for appearing as strange creatures in various genre movies, but as an actor in his own right, he is also superb and very often overlooked. Honestly, if he doesn’t get an acting nomination for his work on Star Trek: Discovery, something is very wrong in Hollywood.
My point is that he has been egregiously overlooked for his performance as the amphibious creature in The Shape of Water. I suppose one could argue that the performance was a hybrid of prosthetics work, CGI and Jones, but come on! He has to convey the creatures emotions and connect with the audience just as much as Sally Hawkins had to without words. He even dances in the picture (and quite well)!
He did that admirably. Still, no Oscar nomination. Where are Doug Jones’ nomination? Where is the recognition for his amazing skills as an actor and not just as a tall skinny man in a monster suit?
The Shape of Water is still in some theaters. Go see it and marvel at Jones’ amazing performance. Or find Star Trek: Discovery on demand and watch his turn as Saru. Whatever you feel about how Star Trek has been served by that series you cannot deny that Doug Jones is one of the best things in it.


Top British comedian James Corden has been delighting American audiences in their millions with his performances on CBS “The Late Late Show” but maybe his greatest hit was with 65,000 fans inside the Oakland Coliseum.
Corden accepted the challenge to attempt a field goal at a home game for the legendary Oakland Raiders and seemed determined to enjoy the full Oakland experience, which included joining the Raider Nation for a traditional pre match tail gate party as a part of CBS’s Thursday Night Football Show.
But for a time it seemed that Corden’s hard work on the training ground was to end in little more than disappointment as he fluffed his big moment in front of a packed house. However, Corden, star of stage and TV, is nothing if not persuasive as he managed to talk his way into a second kick.
Corden, complete in the black and silver Raiders uniform, was granted another chance – but this time he had to be 10 yards further back. Click on the link here to see if Corden lands his second attempt: http://www.nfluk.com/videos/videos/James-Corden-kicks-a-field-goal/4289a5e1-70cf-45af-9da2-49ac1364365e


Chelsea left-back Marc Cucurella wants John Cena to play him in a movie about his life
Chelsea left-back Marc Cucurella has revealed that he would choose WWE Superstar John Cena to play him in a movie about his life. To call it a curious decision would be an understatement.
Cena is one of the biggest names in WWE and a future Hall of Famer. More so, he is also an actor in Hollywood, recently appearing in 6the Fast and Furious franchise. He is among the most popular wrestlers in the business and shares the record with Rich Flair for the most number of WWE titles.
Cucurella, who joined from Brighton & Hove Albion in 2022, has endured a decent spell at Stamford Bridge. He is striving to make an impression, and in the past three games, has displayed his credentials to an extent.
The Spanish player barely played under Mauricio Pochettino during the start of this season but now seems to be gaining more traction, thanks to the suspension of Malo Gusto and Reece James’ injuries. The Argentine manager will have two options in Gusto and Cucurella to play on the right-back side as James suffered a setback during his recovery.
Cucurella could be a big fan of John Cena, which might be the reason he wants the wrestler to play him in a movie, which will be interesting to watch if they do make a movie about them. During the questionnaire with the Premier League channel on YouTube, the player was asked which big personality he wanted to play in a movie. He said:
“I’d like John Cena to represent me in a movie about my life because I have always liked his combat and his career in WWE.”
Will Cucurella soon join WWE and team up with Cena in a tag team match? But jokes aside, Cena is a talented actor who has appeared in a number of Hollywood films, many of which are well-known. We hope that Cena sees his interview and plays Cucurella in this next movie. One thing is for sure, the makeup artists will certainly have a job on their hands to make the wrestler look like Cucurella.
More Chelsea News
- Mauricio Pochettino reveals that Chelsea star Levi Colwill is not seriously injured
- Mauricio Pochettino causes Chelsea frenzy after failing to recognise Malang Sarr
- Fabrizio Romano reveals Chelsea have approached Corinthians for Gabriel Moscardo
If Cena does play Cucurella in the movie, it should certainly make for interesting viewing. But then the Blues ace will certainly need to prove his worth big time in order to even be considered for a Hollywood enterprise. As things stand, he is far from a big player and movie plans for now at least will be akin to Cena’s punchline “You can’t see me”.

Park Shin Hye Says Lee Min Ho′s and Kim Woo Bin′s Love Made Her Look Pretty.
Park Shin Hye has revealed the secret to her stunning beauty.
Park Shin Hye met with reporters for a press meeting on December 17 in Sinsa-dong, Seoul.
Upon being asked what is the secret to her beauty, she answered, “I think people thought I looked pretty because I was being loved by two men, Lee Min Ho and Kim Woo Bin,” which led to a round of laughter.
“I eat really well,” continued the actress. “So some days my face looks huge on screen and other days when I didn’t eat so well, my face looks thinner. That used to give me a lot of stress, but it doesn’t bother me as much now.”
Being named one of the natural beauties in Korea, Park Shin Hye surprised everyone by saying, “I used to want to fix the tip of my nose with plastic surgery. It was my complex for a long time. Recently, many people pointed out that I have ugly fingers, so I began to think if I needed to go to the hospital for that.”
“But I’ve decided to keep my unique fingers. I heard Hollywood’s Megan Fox also has similar fingers as I do, so I can keep mine too,” said Park Shin Hye. “People told me that was how many artists’ fingers were like, so now I’m proud to have my fingers.”
Park Shin Hye Was Really Surprised by the Passionate Kiss with Lee Min Ho.
As one of the highlights of SBS’ The Heirs, Park Shin Hye touched upon the passionate kiss scene shared between her and Lee Min Ho.
On December 17, Park Shin Hye met up with reporters in Sinsa-dong for a small press gathering to talk about the conclusion of The Heirs.
Talking about the kiss scene, Park Shin Hye said, “I was really surprised. During that passionate kiss scene, I grabbed Lee Min Ho’s shirt. I grabbed it because I was really shocked. And it happened to go on air.”
“We were filming the first cut when the director told us that we really need to kiss. I wasn’t sure what to do, so I was just blankly standing there before going into shooting. Luckily, there were no NGs,” explained Park Shin Hye, who said that she doesn’t have a lot of experience with kiss scenes like that in dramas.
The Heirs ended on December 12.


In the long rich history of Family Groups in American Roots Music, THE CHAPIN FAMILY has a special place. When these singers, songwriters and extraordinary live performers come together, magic happens. Tom Chapin, Steve Chapin, Abigail Chapin and Lily Chapin are all powerful musical artists who have active careers and multiple recordings, who just happen to be related, and who love making music together.
The Chapin Family presents Harry Chapin: A Celebration In Song
featuring: Tom Chapin, The Harry Chapin Band (with Steve Chapin, “Big” John Wallace, and Howard Fields), and The Chapin Sisters
TOM CHAPIN, The 3 time Grammy award winning singer / songwriter has maintained two long and productive parallel musical careers, both as a respected contemporary folk artist and as a pioneer in the field of children’s music. His newest CD, Threads, features songs of hope, possibility, love and family. He is on the Board of WhyHunger and remains active in a variety of environmental causes, as well as efforts on behalf of music and the arts in our public schools.
STEVE CHAPIN, singer/songwriter and Clio award winner, and the multi-talented producer, director, pianist, and vocalist who arranged and led Harry’s Band. The enduring legacy of Harry’s music is alive and well each time Steve and his band take the stage to perform their stunning recreations of Harry’s most well-loved songs as well as Steve’s own beautiful tunes.
THE CHAPIN SISTERS, Lily and Abigail Chapin, are singing, songwriting sisters known for pristine harmonies and haunting melodies. They’ve been compared to sister-acts of old and Appalachian family groups, yet their original songs and arrangements have a contemporary feel. Their most recent album, “Today’s Not Yesterday,” written mostly in New York, are as much about the sisters’ past, and the eight years they spent living in Los Angeles, as they are about their present lives on the East Coast. They explore break-ups, leaving California, accepting change, reinventing oneself and returning home to the things that matter most. They have toured the world on their own and as back-up singers.
Harry Chapin (1942 – 1981) was one of our most passionate, political, prolific and inspiring songwriters. Author and singer of classic songs like “Taxi,” “Mr. Tanner,” “Mail Order Annie” and “W•O•L•D.” A devastating auto accident in 1981 cut Harry’s life short, yet he left behind a body of work that his fans continue to treasure decades after his death. He is also remembered as a great humanitarian: public advocate and educator, fund-raiser, musician, writer, filmmaker, Harry believed in believing. Because of his extraordinary contributions, Harry Chapin was posthumously awarded the Special Congressional Gold Medal in 1987.
The Chapin Family has been working to fight hunger since Harry Chapin founded WhyHunger in 1975.


Maybe I’m having a moment, but my iTunes shuffle was on and Beyonce’s “Crazy in Love” came on. I was taken right back! Right back to 2003 when the world was introduced to Mrs Carter as a solo force to be reckoned with, in such a convincing way. My next thought was how this “4″ era doesn’t have that kind of freshness and how I, a self-confessed B stan, was not feeling this vibe. “Why?”, I thought. Maybe I’m just older now, and maybe I’m over it. Maybe. But my gut leans more towards the feeling that “Run The World” is just not a great enough song, the visual isn’t as epic as I expected it to be and the promo strategy seems out of touch with her fans. The thing is, I actually want to like her but she is making it hard for me right now.
1. The Single
Everyone and their mama has given their opinion on the lead single from “4″ so I won’t rehash those comments but I will say this: the song is mediocre at best and Bey is resting on her laurels by depending on the hotness of the beat. I appreciate that she wants to have her own sound/lane on mainstream radio, but this is not the lane to take, hit a different freeway next time. The song felt forced, in terms of creativity, and I am left with a “meh” feeling after every listen. I also understand that this is not 2003 and she is well into her career so not every single will have the impact of Crazy In Love but if you’re not getting better, what’s the point?
Luckily, the potential 2nd single, “Till The End of Time” sounds so hot with the signature Bey vocals that we love over a fusion of MJ and African/Tribal musical vibes. Saving grace?
2. The Visual & Promo
Lord knows that I am a believer in Bey’s hotness. Her toned but womanly body, her great weaves and killer red carpet appearances but something seems off right now. The body is still great but the hair is a little scraggly, the video for “Run The World” is so forced (Rihanna “Hard” anyone?) and she’s hasn’t been seen anywhere besides those candids in France and the Harlem school visit for Michelle Obama’s initiative. It seems like she doesn’t want to interact with her fans or something. She’s not on Twitter, so us fans don’t even get that from her and everyone knows her interviews are so media-trained that every ounce of personality is squeezed out like freshly made orange juice. From my gatherings, in this day and age, it is important for pop music heavyweights to have a firm connection with their fans in order to maintain their popularity. Adele has her amazingly humorous interviews, Katy Perry and Rihanna have their naughty/fun tweets, Lady Gaga has her never-ending tweets about her love for her Little Monsters. What does Bey have? Nothing. Um…….Where You At Beyonce? Even Britney has those “we-don’t-know-if-its-really-her” tweets but at least her fans have that.
A flop isn’t always a bad thing. Every mega star will experience bumps in the road and sometimes this is necessary to redirect them or even re-inspire them to create a great record. Not every record by Madonna, MJ or any other legend was successful. But they did try follow up the flops with something new and magical. So maybe Beyonce needs this?
Those are my thoughts. Like I said, maybe I’m just a little more grown up and the Pop/RnB musical sphere doesn’t ignite my soul anymore. Sad, but maybe true. Or maybe The Prophet’s hateration is finally sinking in, lol.
What do you think about the “4″th era? *see what I did there? lol*


Ingmar Bergman was in a bad spot in 1955. He'd been making features for over a decade and had yet to have a hit. He thought he had stomach cancer. He was on the brink of suicide. He decided to make a romantic comedy.
Smiles of a Summer Night was Bergman's first international hit, the producers having taken it to Cannes without Bergman's knowledge. People loved the film, and fell in love with Bergman, an interesting development considering his next hit was Seventh Seal, and while this was not his last comedy, he's principally known for existential dramas in Seal's vein not lighter work like this.

She’s one of the brightest young Canadian female stars on the independent wrestling scene, so it comes as little surprise to learn that Kaitlin Diemond’s love affair with sports entertainment can be traced all the way back to her very formative years.
In fact, the Brantford, Ontario, native says she owes a lot her passion for pro wrestling to her brother.
“Definitely my brother,” said Diemond, whose real name is Kaitlin Baki, said during a video call from Japan, where she’s on a long tour with independent wrestling company Stardom, when asked about her first wrestling influence. “He’s five years older than me (and) he watched wrestling during the Attitude Era, during (Stone Cold) Steve Austin’s rise and he just thought it was the coolest thing.”
Lest anyone underestimate the power of the older sibling, Diemond is proof.
“He’s my only sibling and I thought he was the coolest person in the world so I copied everything that he did, which included wrestling,” she said. “Eventually, when wrestling stopped being cool (to him), he abandoned ship, but I was already too hooked on it at that point.” Read More

Sarah Bernhardt (October 1844 — 26 March 1923) was a French stage and early film actress, and has been referred to as "the most famous actress the world has ever known".Bernhardt made her fame on the stages of France in the 1870s, and was soon in demand in Europe and the Americas. She developed a reputation as a serious dramatic actress, earning the nickname "The Divine Sarah".
Bernhardt was born in Paris as Rosine Bernardt the daughter of Julie Bernardt (1821, Amsterdam – 1876, Paris) and an unknown father. Julie was one of six children of a widely traveling Jewish spectacle merchant, "vision specialist" and petty criminal, Moritz Baruch Bernardt, and Sara Hirsch (later known as Janetta Hartog; c. 1797–1829).Julie's father remarried Sara Kinsbergen (1809–1878) two weeks after his first wife's death, and abandoned his family in 1835. Julie left for Paris, where she made a living as a courtesan and was known by the name "Youle". Sara would add the letter "H" to both her first and last names. Sarah's birth records were lost in a fire in 1871, but in order to prove French citizenship, necessary for Légion d'honneur eligibility, she created false birth records, on which she was the daughter of "Judith van Hard" and "Edouard Bernardt" from Le Havre, in later stories either a law student, accountant, naval cadet or naval officer.Much of the uncertainty about Bernhardt's life arises because of her tendency to exaggerate and distort. Alexandre Dumas, fils described her as a notorious liar.
Bernhardt had an affair with a Belgian nobleman, Charles-Joseph Eugène Henri Georges Lamoral de Ligne (1837–1914), son of Eugène, 8th Prince of Ligne, with whom she had her only child, Maurice Bernhardt, in 1864. He married a Polish princess, Maria Jablonowska.
Sarah's close friends would include several artists, most notably Gustave Doré and Georges Clairin, and actors Mounet-Sully and Lou Tellegen, as well as the famous French author Victor Hugo. Alphonse Mucha based several of his iconic Art Nouveau works on her. Her friendship with Louise Abbéma (1853–1927), a French impressionist painter, some nine years her junior, was so close and passionate that the two women were rumored to be lovers. In 1990, a painting by Abbéma, depicting the two on a boat ride on the lake in the bois de Boulogne, was donated to the Comédie-Française. The accompanying letter stated that the painting was "Peint par Louise Abbéma, le jour anniversaire de leur liaison amoureuse."
Bernhardt also expressed strong interest in inventor Nikola Tesla, only to be disregarded as a distraction to his workShe later married Greek-born actor Aristides Damala in London in 1882, but the marriage, which legally endured until Damala's death in 1889 at age 34, quickly collapsed, largely due to Damala's dependence on morphine. During the later years of this marriage, Bernhardt was said to have been involved in an affair with the Prince of Wales, who later became Edward VII.
Bernhardt once stated, "Me pray? Never! I'm an atheist."However, she had been baptised a Roman Catholic, and accepted the last rites shortly before her death.
In 1905, while performing in Victorien Sardou's La Tosca in Rio de Janeiro, Bernhardt injured her right knee when jumping off the parapet in the final scene. The leg never healed properly. By 1915, gangrene had set in and her entire right leg was amputated; she was required to use a wheelchair for several months. Bernhardt reportedly refused a $10,000 offer by a showman to display her amputated leg as a medical curiosity (while P.T. Barnum is usually cited as the one to have made the offer, he had been dead since 1891). She continued her career often without using a wooden prosthetic limb; she had tried to use one but didn't like it. She carried out a successful tour of America in 1915, and on returning to France she played in her own productions almost continuously until her death. Her later successes included Daniel (1920), La Gloire (1921), and Régine Armand (1922). According to Arthur Croxton, the manager of London's Coliseum, the amputation was not apparent during her performances, which were done with the use of an artificial limb.Her physical condition may have limited her mobility on the stage, but the charm of her voice, which had altered little with age, ensured her triumphs.
Sarah Bernhardt died from uremia following kidney failure in 1923; she is believed to have been 78 years old.She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1751 Vine Street.


The NFL star flew to Buenos Aires, Argentina in his week off earlier in November to see his girlfriend play in South America and was dressed to impress for his night out with a flamboyant blue, white and green shirt with hearts across the back.

Toyota has remained close to the Ice Ribbon promotion. She gave Tsukasa Fujimoto her approval to use the Japanese Ocean Cyclone Suplex as one of her finishing moves.

Since then Albert Okwuegbunam Jerseys the young couple have shared a raft of photos from nights out and travels together, the pair having been seen holidaying together in Mykonos and Ibiza during football's summer break.
What is Dele Alli's net worth?
It is difficult to put a set number on Alli's overall worth as things appear set to change rapidly after the Spurs star signed up with Creative Artists Agency (CAA), the same offices that represent Jose Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo.
It is widely reported that Alli currently makes 50,000 per week with Tottenham, although he looks set to at least double that sum when he signs a new Rico Gafford Jerseys deal come the end of the season, with CAA certain to push for the best po sible deal for their new client.
Already enjoying lucrative deals with Adidas and BT Sport, Alli's performance at the World Cup would likely boost his value even further as CAA, who work closely with super agent Jorge Mendes, look to push the midfielder into the top tiers of football's highest earners.

The Power of Madonna’s Vagina: Thirty Years of Relentless Thrusting
You can say what you want about Madonna, but if there’s one thing she does really well, it’s taking ownership of her body and female sexuality. So much is written about what her provocative nature did for her career, but what about what it’s done for others? How liberating is her vulgarity? It’s not only a performance for self-gain, but also a promotion of a “Fuck it” attitude that encourages others to strive for their own ambitions and sexual desires.
I’ve recently become more and more interested in Madonna — her hunger, her persona, her aggressiveness, her vulnerability — and in particular, the performance of her sexuality. As I listened to her music, from her debut album to her last, and watched her concerts, I wanted to engage with the question of both Madonna’s raw ambition and uninhibited sexuality, and how the two are intrinsically tied together.
If you boil down the controversy surrounding the alleged Queen of Pop to her sexual persona, what she is criticized for is, not surprisingly, praised in her male counterparts. Deemed from the beginning as too vulgar, Madonna has never ceased to push people’s comfort boundaries. While her provocations have been blunt acts of publicity, they also denounce the perversity of our societal sexual repression. In her song, “Human Nature,” she sings, ever so unapologetic:
“Did I say something wrong?
Oops, I didn’t know I couldn’t talk about sex”
In each of her concerts, Madonna, without fail, jams her hand in her pants and punctuates her dance moves with pelvic thrusts. When I first saw these acts, I reacted in two ways. First, I involuntarily felt shame because these sexual gestures were so public. After this knee jerk reaction, I realized that I had internalized overt sexual acts as wrong. More than that, I had internalized female expressions of sexuality as wrong. Watching Madonna interact with what she calls “her favorite instrument,” I thought of all the male figures I’ve seen grabbing at their junk in a macho display of their manhood. If they can do that without me feeling ashamed, why can’t she? Why can’t I? Why can’t everybody be as proud of their genitalia as Madonna?
Since the beginning of her career, headlines have been more concerned with Madonna’s sexuality than her singing. Her refusal to apologize for these controversies has always affirmed her right to be a sexual person, whether as a woman, a role model, or a mother. Instead of being sorry, she flaunts her sexuality. In fact, Madonna’s biggest strength is when she is performing. Her concerts are spectacles of her ambition, and her acrobatic dance routines choreograph the sexual liberation she fights for. But her ambition is often a source of criticism on her character. We’ve heard it before: a bossy woman is cold, narcissistic, self-interested, and a ‘bitch.’ In Madonna’s case, this sexist criticism is reflected in the treatment of her sexuality. Because she is a woman, her drive — whether sexual or creative — make her power-hungry in the eyes of the media. Her response?
Sits on a chair. Opens her legs. In your face: her vagina, her body, her sexuality. “Fuck it,” her performance says, “Wanna sexualize women? Watch me sexualize myself.” [cue the unforgettable masturbatory performance of Like a Virgin in the Blond Ambition World Tour (1991).]
What’s most powerful about Madonna’s sexuality is that it never stops, no matter how many candles she blows on her birthday. Her ambition, as embodied by her sexual persona, challenges ageism. Not only does she still participate in the pop culture discourse, but she also continues to be outspoken about her sexual self. In April 2015, Madonna performed a small stand-up “debut” on Jimmy Fallon dedicated to her relationships with younger men. This skit normalizes her right to have sex as an older woman by making fun of relationships the media judges her for. Because at 58, Madonna is still as invested in her career.
While critics accuse her of acting young as a desperate attempt to stay relevant, her ageless dedication to her career is inspiring. You only need to see her perform to realize she has every reason to feel like a 20-year-old. She may reject physical signs of her aging, but that’s also a testament to the entertainment culture she is a part of. As she argues, “Women, generally, when they reach a certain age, have accepted that they’re not allowed to behave a certain way. But I don’t follow the rules. I never did, and I’m not going to start.”
“Like it or Not,” as her song title challenges, love her or hate her, Madonna is relevant because of her long-lasting influence on pop culture. While she is acclaimed for her chameleon-like ability to shift and evolve with cultural trends, Madonna has consistently stood by her rebellious message:
- “Don’t want to let the system get me down” (Where’s The Party, 1986)
- “Why can’t we learn to challenge the system” (Why’s It So Hard, 1992)
- “I’m gonna shake up the system” (Die Another Day, 2002)
- “Gotta shake up the system” (Turn Up The Radio, 2012).
Madonna has shamelessly used her sexuality to provoke, tease out, and push the norms. Her agency over her sex life has normalized sex-positivity for a mainstream audience, and particularly for women. But at the end of the day, as much as I love Madonna, and as little as I care for the controversy she is known for, she is a problematic feminist.
Despite her long career of pushing for female empowerment, her message is undermined by her lack of intersectionality. Simply put — and regrettably — Madonna is a white feminist. Her views don’t take into account the reality of people’s intersectional identities. Instead, she focuses solely on her cis-white-woman experiences, as her 2015 statements in the magazine Out show: “Women are still the most marginalized group. You’re still categorized — you’re still either a virgin or a whore. If you’re a certain age, you’re not allowed to express your sexuality, be single, or date younger men.” These are struggles Madonna unjustly faces, but to then say, “It’s moved along for the gay community, for the African-American community, but women are still just trading on their ass” minimizes the experiences of others.
Engaging in this rhetoric takes away from the reality of the different types of oppression people face, instead pitting them against each other. As Kendall states, “White feminism has argued that gender should trump race since its inception. That rhetoric not only erases the experiences of women of color, but also alienates many from a movement that claims to want equality for all.” For a person who sings, “It makes no difference if you’re black or white, if you’re a boy or a girl,” Madonna contradicts herself (Vogue, 1990).
Her message of self-empowerment fails if it only applies to one part of the population. Although she has pushed others’ boundaries, her own have been limited to her status and privilege. Madonna’s career is not over, no matter how old entertainment culture considers her to be. Today, the dialogue surrounding her sexuality has shifted from female expression to female ageism. Tomorrow, her relentless ambition should push beyond her limits as a white feminist. In her Rebel Heart tour, she declares she wants to start a revolution. She asks her audience, “Are you with me?”
Madonna should ask herself, “Who am I with?”


Matthew Perry recently passed away in a tragic accident. He was a friend to the world, and although he was most known for playing Chandler Bing on the hit television series Friends, he was a bright light and role model to those in the addiction recovery world. Matthew Perry struggled with substance abuse for decades, and his steadfast dedication to recovery attempts is a tribute to how much he longed for sobriety. He shared his addiction recovery trials and tribulations in his candid memoir “Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing,” published in 2022.
In his memoir, Matthew Perry not only shared his deep struggles with addictions and his multiple attempts at recovery but how this disease can wreak havoc on beloved famous figures at the height of their career. Addiction is a disease that does not discriminate against age, wealth, race, education, or celebrity status, and Mathew Perry was an example of this. Despite many setbacks in his addiction recovery and spending approximately 7 million dollars on over 15 rehab stays, Matthew Perry also shared his story of continuing hope to push forward in his recovery journey, which he did until the end of his life. He never gave up on his hope for recovery.
If you are struggling with addiction, it is essential to know that you are not alone.
Throughout his battle with addiction, Matthew Perry battled multiple health problems, including pneumonia, a ruptured colon, two weeks in a coma, nine months with a colostomy bag, and more than a dozen stomach surgeries. He firmly believed that addiction is a disease that nobody should be able to fight alone and advocated for supporting others within the addiction community. His devotion to helping others who also struggled with addiction prompted him to open a sober living home for men in 2013 at his former Malibu mansion, which was called “The Perry House.”
In a November 2022 podcast interview after the release of his memoir, Matthew Perry made an effort to explain that his proudest accomplishment was not his decade-long television role on Friends but rather his effort to help others who were also battling addiction.
“The best thing about me, bar none, is if somebody comes up to me and says, ‘I can’t stop drinking. Can you help me?’ I can say yes and follow up and do it. And I’ve said this for a long time: when I die, I don’t want Friends to be the first thing that’s mentioned. I want that to be the first thing that’s mentioned. And I’m going to live the rest of my life proving that.”
A support system is important, but you must want to heal from addiction
From an outsider’s perspective, it seemed like Matthew Perry had it all: happiness, money, and fame, but the reality is that he was incredibly lonely because he was struggling with an alcohol disorder. He then became addicted to prescription opioids and first entered rehab in 1997. He had more than 14 stays in rehab treatment facilities in addition to multiple hospitalizations due to medical complications from chronic and severe alcohol abuse. Although he was a private person, his struggles with addiction were all over the media. Eventually, he started sharing with the public that he was seeking treatment for his disease. He knew he had a significant problem with drugs and alcohol, and it was also apparent to his co-stars on Friends as well as his parents. Although his loved ones in his life supported him, helped him, and wanted him to get better, he realized many years later that to heal from addiction, you must be the one to want to seek help and put in the work. Nobody else can force you or do the work for you. Throughout his battle with addiction and the medical complications that came along with it, he continued to be a successful actor in television and movies until Friends went off the air in 2004.
Matthew Perry Foundation: His Legacy Lives On
Shortly after his death, his loved ones started an addiction recovery foundation in his name, “The Matthew Perry Foundation,” so his legacy of helping others can continue to live on. This foundation was founded to help those who are struggling with substance abuse.
“Addiction is far too powerful for anyone to defeat alone. But together, one day at a time, we can beat it down”.

Watching this one … seriously.
In a decision that rattled Hollywood and alarmed free speech advocates, a California court ruled earlier this year that an actress could use copyright law to force Google to remove a notorious anti-Muslim video from YouTube. Now, an actor who claims that, like the actress, he was tricked into appearing in the short movie, says Google is infringing his copyright by showing links to torrent sites.
In a complaint filed last week in Los Angeles federal court, the actor Gaylord Flynn asked for an injunction and damages against Google and against the maker of the film. Flynn stated that he thought he was acting in a non-religious film called Desert Warrior, but then was horrified to discover the film maker had posted a dubbed Arabic version of the film on YouTube in which the voice-overs insult the prophet Mohammed.
The posting of the film, known as “Innocence of Muslims,” led to riots in the Arab world and…
