Beauty and the News

news-beauty-line-up.jpg

These CNN presenters look so good then, they look like “bakes”

Have you ever noticed how beautiful female news anchors are when you are watching international TV news shows?
It’s freaking amazing, almost every single woman reading news that I have ever seen whether it’s on CNN, ABC or NBC looks like the best looking woman you have ever seen in your life.
Some times you don’t give a rat’s ass about what the content of the news is because you are so mesmerized by the woman reading it.
You know how many boring financial news programs about something called a “dow”I have watched because of beauty of the female presenter.
I am not saying that we don’t have attractive female presenters here but the international ones are something else.
I would be hard press to identify a time I was watching CNN and saw an “ugly” female presenter; it appears that it is a requirement that to land the job you must be beautiful and sexy in addition to being articulate and intelligent.
Is that being sexist? Some people would say hiring a females based on their looks is demeaning to the women.
 May be its about keeping people with shallow minds and short attention spans such as my self watching the news regardless of its content and keeping the ratings up. Plus these women are paid quite handsomely for their beautiful news reading.
Regardless of the state of the war in Iraq or the rising price of oil I will receive it more readily when it’s in news delivered by a sexy news woman…

Why are Make up Men always Gay?

make-up-pictures.jpg

Wow! Talk about lucky, I went to the beach yesterday for my daily run, and happened to butt up on a photo shoot featuring not one, not two, but five beautiful curvaceous female models.
The photographer was there clicking away and the make up guy was running in “happily” adding finishing touches to the girls.
The make up guy is my subject here; he seemed to be gay, as usual.
Why do make up men always seem to be gay? All the productions I have been involved in when ever a make up person is involved and it’s a man it always seems to be a gay man.
Even when you are watching an international modeling show on TV, and the make up man is featured he always seem to be a bubbly happy “gay” kinda girl …. Sorry I meant guy.

I know you will start saying how I can look at some body and say they are Gay, if you can’t observe when a person seems to have an extra gay pep in their step and touch of femininity in their vocal variety that’s your business.
I don’t get the impression they are trying to hide it any way.

Is it that when you fill out a form to do a cosmetic course there is a question asking “are you gay?” And if you tick no they turn you down?

How do they go about enforcing a criteria where mostly gay people end up in a profession then?

make-up-guy-pic.jpg

Notice the bangle the make up guy is wearing? I rest my case

To summarize my point for the purposes of clarity; I am not saying ALL make up men are gay; I am just saying that MOST SEEM to be…
I get the impression they prefer gay people around the models so the girls would be safe… maybe that’s so…

I am not telling you to go out and start attacking make up people either and talk bout Boyce Voice encourage you cause you would be an ass, oops that might attract some people…. But really you would be a major jack ass! What people do in the privacy of their bedroom home and M.L cars is their own business.

I simply made an observation, I hope the cosmetic people out there reading this don’t get offended, next time you see me on TV and face looks off, it will be the make up guy getting back at me..

P.S: you always put on make up when you go on TV so don’t think nothing funny…

Something

Yesterday I blogged about “Nothing” today it is “Something”.
The challenge of finding “something” new….

This is a Herculean challenge that our tent managers and calypsonians face on a yearly basis, producing new material in order to feed that voracious entertainment monster we call Crop Over.
Krosfyah releases a great album this year and regardless of how good it is by the next Crop Over it is expected that they go back into the studio and release “something” new. In contrast our international counterparts would release an Album and then over a period of the next 2 to 3 years release several singles from that same album, giving the material more longevity.

Let’s look at shows, Bacchanal Time produces a quality show with dancers and special effects etc and by the end of Crop Over regardless of its excellence it is deemed dead and we must go back to the drawing board and produce ’something” new.

cats-show-picture.jpg

“Cats opened on Broadway in 1982 had 7485 performances and closed in 2002

Internationally now, we have Broadway musical shows that have been running for years.
Productions like “Grease” “Cats” Phantom of the Opera” and the longest running production ever “Les Miserables”, this production has been running for 21 years and is still going.

So all like now we should still be running our 1995 Bacchanal Time featuring triple crown winner Edwin doing his “Obadele” song.

But no, Crop over is again upon us and the question people are asking is “when you gun bring something new?”

So Edwin RPB Kidsite, Asiba and Bacchanal Time are all busy trying to find “something” new to be readily consumed by the coming 2008 Crop Over monster.

Now that’s “Something”!

Keeping Eye on Chris Brown and Rihanna

They say a picture is worth a thousands words, so what are the millions these pictures are saying?

Our Poll asked, Is Chris Brown good enough for Rihanna? 29 votes (36%) people said yes, 5 (6%) said no, not sure 6 votes (8%) said not sure and a massive 40 votes (50%) said they don’t give a Rat’s ass!

Well you should care dammit! the rest of the world does, I think we need to find out exactly what are Chris Brown’s intentions towards Rihanna Fenty?

Does he plan to change her last name?

Lets take a Boyce Voice look at some pictures which were taken of the couple at various places around the world.

rihanna-and-chris-red-tshirt-pictures.jpg

Here is Chris and Rihanna, do they make a cute couple? I don’t know you tell me, if Rihanna were in the picture alone that could have worked for me….

rihanna-an-chris-cell-phone.jpg

What is Chris telling Rihanna here, is he showing her how his phone works? I don’t think Rihanna cares.

Or maybe Rihanna is asking about that text he just got, and he is giving an explanation

rihanna-and-chis-at-night-club.jpg

Its pretty late to have Rihanna out at a night club ,

chris-brown-pooling-rihanna-dating.jpg

Rihanna cannot even take a dip with out Chris butting in, he is pretty smitten or as bajans say, Bewitched!

chris-brown-and-ingrid.jpg

Looks like our own Ingrid has her sights on Chris, guess Asiba will not be happy about this, If Rihanna is going to be horned at least its by a bajan…

This Jennifer girl here also looks pretty close to Chris, will do a lick mout lou thing and send this photo to Rihanna and end the happy union..

Good Friday; to see the “Passion of Christ”

passion-picture-jesus-with-cross.jpg

Today is Good Friday! It is a Good Friday for you to go to church and praise the lord, should you even be on a computer today anyway? You evil person you!
In an effort to redeem your soul and mine let’s blog on something religious.

When I was a little boy like two thousand years ago, it was traditional that every Easter Bajans flocked to the cinema (the Roxy or Olympic) to see “The Crucifixion”, a nice conservative movie that would lead you back to the lord.

Then in 2004 you were able to witness the “Crucifixion of Jesus” as you had never seen it before, with the release of Mel Gibson’s controversial movie “The Passion of Christ”.
You winced in your seat as Jesus was beaten mercilessly, his skin ripped away in bloody explosive strips, if that did not bring you to the lord nothing would.
It actually took some people away from the cinema as they were unable to stomach the tortuous scenes.

 Was the passion of Christ was it just another commercial attempt for Hollywood and Mel Gibson to make money the movie generated over 370 million dollars while only costing 25 million to make. That’s enough profit to make you praise the lord.

Was ”The Passion” effective in highlighting the cause of Christianity?
Was it successful in getting evil people such as your self who do not go to church on Good Friday but stay home instead reading Boyce Voice to at least be aware of that Jesus died on the cross to save sinners like yourself.

If you do not go to church today the least you can do is rent the “Passion of Christ” and watch over the Easter weekend, if you did go to church I hope you prayed for the rest of us. 

A closing note, if you do not take heed of the old bajan saying “not to go in the sea on good Friday for you will drown”,

Take heed that the Metrological office has put out an advisory saying the same thing this weekend, warning sea bathers about dangerous sea conditions, Maybe it’s the power of the lord at work…

Have a “Good Friday!”

“No Country for Old Men” Boyce Voice Review

no-country-poster.jpg

When I first heard the title of this movie it did not grab me at all. “No country for Old Men”.
Sounds like some senior citizen picture, then I started reading good reviews and then it won “Best picture of the year” at the 2008 Academy Awards. So I decided to check it out.

The picture was intriguing and quite exciting at some points; the plot revolves around what happens when a hunter happens to stumble on a scene of a drug shoot out in the desert, finds and keeps a suitcase of 10 million dollars in drug money.

For some strange reason drug pushers have issues with people holding on to their money, they usually get upset and send people to kill you, your family and retrieve their hard earned funds.
That’s is what happens in the movie when a psychotic hit man is sent to retrieve the misappropriated funds.

no-country-tommy-lee-jones.jpg

I am not really a fan of Tommy Lee Jones but he did a good job in his characterization of the “old country” sheriff, as did Josh Brolin as the hunter who becomes hunted when he finds the cash.

no-country-killer-2.jpg

But the real star is the dark humorless killer excellently played by Mexican actor Javier Bardem.
It is he who really carries the movie, his winning the 2008 award for best supporting actor is testimony to that.

Like I said “No country for Old Men” is an intriguing and exciting movie, it’s different in that some times they are some significant plot developments that you don’t see and are left wondering as to what transpired, like for example the freaking end.

What I did not like about the movie was the ending, frankly it did not have any, it just sort of stopped and the credits came up.
There is no climatic exciting build up heralding the ending it just sort of prematurely stops, and you know being premature is never a good thing.
If a movie is going to win the best picture of the year it should have a “best” ending and “No Country for Old Men” does not have that.
When it comes to an ending this movie needs to go and come again…
which is what you usually have to do when you have been premature!

Anticipating Macbeth

macbeth-play-poster.jpg

I am really looking forward to the Gale Theatre of London and Barbados production of Macbeth opening next month, like Lil Rick I “cann wait”.

From the time I studied Macbeth at Combermere School it was one of my favorite books.
I started out forcing my self to like Macbeth because I needed it to pass my CXC exam and ended up loving it.
So much that since I left school I have read it several times.

I love the story of the rise Macbeth and the part Lady Macbeth played in his quest to be king and his ultimate demise, there is a lesson to be learned in this play for each of us.

When you hear me expounding quotes like “there’s no art to find the mind’s construction in the face” and “life is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury” people mistake me for being intelligent and say “ooh so you read Shakespeare” the truth is I have only read one book, I just make good use of it.

The Macbeth production will feature an impressive and diverse line up of stars Alison Sealy Smith, Varia Williams, Levi King, Jherad Allyene, Anderson Armstrong, Patrick Foster and top British actor Peter Temple as Macbeth.
The thought of seeing a quality production with these local thespians* bring the “political thriller” Macbeth to life at the Frank Collymore Hall next month, fills me with great anticipation…

I Cann Wait, Cann Wait, Cann Wait!”

(Lyrics compliments Lil Rick)

*thespian; fancy word actors become when they start to appear in big up productions at Frank Collymore Hall, its like the differnce between a “movie” and a “film”

Ashley Alexandra Dupre; Be Somebody, Be a Hoe!

ahsley-alexandra-dupre.jpg

Ashley “Honey Money” Dupre

Do you know who Ashley Alexandra Dupre is?
You soon will, she is on her way to fame and fortune, Ahsley is the 22 year old call girl that Governor of New York Eliot Spitzer paid thousands of dollars for her sexual services, an act which is now costing him his political career.

Lets not digress people, let us stick too Ashley, well as much as we can afford to being she costs thousands of dollars a “stick”. In Barbados and the Caribbean, when you are exposed as woman of dissolute nature who exchanges money for sex, you are known as a whore and people whisper behind your back and call you slutty names.

In America now the same act can get you instant fame and a book and movie deal leading to untold fortunes.
In America selling your “honey” can put you in the money, depending on who you are selling it too.
Since Ahley’s whorish activities have been exposed over 5 million people have visited her MySpace page to view her photos, music and biographical information.
Ashley is not only good on the “mike” in the bedroom (thousands of dollars worth) but she’s also good on the real mike as well (if you can’t figure that out you are an ass).
Ashley also sings and actually went to New York to pursue a musical career, whoring was just to a way to pay the bills at the end of the month. So now the two songs she did are selling like hot cakes on the net. And of course a label is showing an interest in signing her up, next she will sell her side of the story to “The Enquirer” and write a tell all book of which Universal Studios will buy the rights and the movie will be directed by Oliver stone.To show you how famous Ashley is becoming, you are now reading about her on Boyce Voice, last month we would not have given a rat’s ass about her.
The Ahley Dupre situation epitomizes how sexual notoriety can be used in America to achieve instant fame. This reminds me my favorite classic Eddie Murphy comedy sketch where he plays a pimp selling a book on “How to be a prostitute”; Eddie’s pimp punch line was “Be some body …. Be a hoe”

Before I Go, a Boyce Voice Quiz:

Question: What do you call a West Indian Politician who pays money for honey?

Answer; A West Indian Politician! As that sort of thing does not cause a stir down here, spitzer-picture.jpg

Governor Spitzer; “Damn! why did I spend my money on that young honey?”

Who Gives a Rat’s Ass?!

jennifer-lopez-nyc-babies-birth.jpg

I am often in a quandary when I read the drivel which masquerades as entertainment news which pretty much equates to just old fashion “lick mout” gossip.
Am I suppose to care who Brad Pitt is going out with?
Or that Jennifer Lopez is having twins? whoopie!
or that Paris Hilton has new man?
I mean, who gives a Rats Ass?!…

britney-spears-dance-after-show-freaky-pic.jpg

Britney checking into rehab or out, so many times we have lost count

And the latest news now out, Am I suppose to care that Britney spears has lost her child visitation rights?
Or how much times she has been in rehab and how her father is now taking care of her again?
Who gives a rat’s ass…!

I would like some one to explain to me why I should care,
When I read entertainment news I like to read about the box office business generated by a movie or the behind the scenes of the making of the movie, not who the star is bonking might be bonking or is about to bonk.
If that is what you are interests you, you need to get a life!
Am I suppose to care who Rihanna is going out with?
Or that she and Chris Brown are supposed to be engaged? …
……….Wait a minute, I do care about that!

If our Rihanna is getting hitched we need to know about it so we can approve it, I mean is Chris Brown good enough for our Rihanna? (Darron will put up a poll that will allow you to vote on that soon)

But when it comes to the other celebrities, who gives a rat’s ass?!

rihanna-and-chris-brown-in-pool.jpg

Does Chris Brown have life guard ambitions or what?

I am a Michael Jackson Fan; (Keep it in the closet)

michael-jackson-glove-picture.jpg

I am always letting out my deep dark secrets in this blog here’s a next which a lot of people do not know.

I am a Michael Jackson fan!
I think his “Dangerous” CD is one of the greatest albums ever made, I even like it more than the mega hit “Thriller”.
I have not liked any thing he has done recently but his past hits “Smooth Criminal”, “Dirty Diana” “Man in the Mirror” even “Ben” I think they are the greatest ever.

Of course what Michael Jackson has become famous for these days, admitting you are a fan of his is not a good thing. Referring here to those child molestation allegations which brought down his career.
Also, admitting you are a fan of a 49 year old man who talks like a 9 year old girl and has hair and wears make up like a 39 year woman is not cool, I should say I am a fan of his music and not of him.

Here’s a tip I have learnt; Never drive your car and listen to Michael Jackson music up loud!
One morning I was driving my car listening to “Smooth Criminal” with the volume up and I happened to slow down by a bus stop, so there I am singing the chorus “Annie you OK, are you OK Annie” to the top of my voice and dancing as much as I can while behind the wheel of a car. Then I turned and made eye contact with scores of people at the bus stop looking at me in shock. There were some school boys who looked particularly horrified, like they were going to pick up their feet and run at my slightest movement. Its like everyone was thinking “there’s one of them Michael Jackson pervert freaks!”
Don’t let that happen to you people, keep your Michael Jackson addition “in the closet”.
Well now you know another one of my secrets, at least I am man enough to say it out loud.
I LOVE MICHAEL JACKSON! Well at least his music that is, just don’t let any one know, keep it between us on Boyce Voice.

Boyce is moon walking away from the computer…

Serious entertainment analysis of Michael Jackson  coming soon!
