This ish is so bad we had to make up a new phrase for what took place on “Watch What Happens Live”last night — NSFL: Not Safe for Lunch

If you didn’t already know Shemar Moore was a thirstball from the last two articles we posted of him slobbing down random women on TV shows, it ought to be more than confirmed for you now that the “Criminal Minds” actor not only locked lips with Sweet Brown, but transferred liquor directly from his mouth to hers. We’re not saying anything’s wrong with Sweet Brown but she does have that case of bronchitis and already told us, “ain’t nobody got time for that!”

The craziest thing about this entire spectacle is that Shemar Moore lowkey had to convince Sweet Brown to let him slob her down. What was supposed to be a simple round of shots, turned slobberiffic when Andy Cohen was one shot short and Shemar improvised by telling Sweet like three different times, “I’m gonna put it in my mouth then put it in yours.” She was looking at him like,” what?”, while as a viewer I was thinking two things: one, haven’t we seen you do this already? and two, if somebody doesn’t wipe those juices off Sweet’s mouth I’m gonna be sick.

Unfortunately, the thirstiness didn’t stop there because by the end of the show, Shemar ended up topless, giving Sweet Brown a lap dance. We can’t make this stuff up.

By now, you’ve probably seen this video of a man some are claiming to be Stevie J of “Love & Hip-Hop” planting a wet one on the lips of another man who is none other than rapper Lil Wayne. If not, take a gander.

Looks very 2006 Birdman-Weezy liplockish to me. Regardless of whether the other man in question is Stevie J or not, I’m pretty sure Wayne just kissed a dude on stage — again. But according to Stevie J, and his woman Joseline, this is not him; therefore it’s too soon to consider him both a ladies and a man’s man. Possibly.

NecoleBitchie caught the Hot 97 morning show’s on the spot call to Stevie to get his reaction to the rumor, and shocker, Joseline was the one to pick up the line and set the record straight, supposedly. She told the radio hosts:

First of all, who does that? Second of all, my man doesn’t play those type of games. With Lil Wayne? Who does that. They don’t even talk. They don’t even know each other besides the videos. Where is all this hate coming from? Wayne been kissing dudes for a long time. Since I was 15 years old, I’ve seen Wayne kissing dudes but what does Wayne has to do with my man?

In true, make a spectacle style, Stevie then hops on the line to coon, telling Hot 97:

I’m in LA. I can’t really tell? [Watches footage] Hold on, play that again right there. That wasn’t me. I wasn’t in Miami but whatever someone feels they need to do, let them do that. I’m in the studio making hits.

We’d probably be more inclined to believe that if he had one a hit after 2000, and if his womanizing behavior on LHHATL didn’t scream trapped in the closet, but in all honesty there’s no legitimate reason to believe this is really him kissing Weezy. Perhaps someone should phone Wayne and see who he’s been letting put them lips on him. *Shudders*

Following Frank Ocean’s announcement of a tryst with another man, rapper Murs has released a new video to accompany his single “Animal Style” that has the internet buzzing.

Although many celebrities commended Ocean for his strength, Murs has taken his support for same-sex equality to a level not many would have the courage. The music video tells a story about two gay youths in high school struggling to maintain a relationship while living in a less than supportive environment. Murs plays Roderick who is in the closet while dating another student, Jonathan. The video depicts the heterosexual rapper upping the same-sex support ante by kissing his male actor counterpart.

Murs’ character Jonathan finds being in a gay relationship too risky and pummels his boyfriend into the ground to avoid being outed in front of his friends. At the end of the story, the two teenage lovers meet again but Roderick pulls out a gun and shoots his boyfriend as well as himself.

The rapper has made a profound statement with the video, calling out all those who oppose gays.
It is a courageous gesture considering that the rap game isn’t exactly the most supportive towards gay people. The music video also features interspersed shots of the rapper rocking a “Legalize Gay” shirt, making his stance abundantly clear.

Sadly, Murs’ is getting more attention for the kiss; but truth be told, the most daring feature of the song is the lyrics. Murs describes his character’s inner conflict with religion: “So he lived in fear of God’s wrath/ The preacher said that God loves us all except fags.” His inner conflict with religion leads him into a downslide of self loathing and eventually the murder/suicide. Of course there can be a lengthy dialogue about whether the message is about organized religion or religion with a capital R; regardless, the fact that he outlined how religion can make gays unjustly hate themselves is more courageous than any kiss could be.

Murs explained his intentions with the song on Youtube: “The first was to be an advocate for people close to me who are out, and those who have yet to come out. It’s also a love song, which is nothing new for me. But with this one I wanted to challenge the listener to ask themselves: Is the love shared by two people of the same gender, really that different than the love I have for my partner of the opposite sex?”
The future of rap may take a new course with more musicians showing support and going against the grain of the history of rap. Last year Lil B released an album entitled “I’m Gay (I’m Happy)” and later revealed he received death threats. Although his support for same-sex rights is more obtuse, he did make a statement about the climate of homophobia in hip hop and his apathy towards it.

Hip hop is meeting a tipping point. Universally respected hip hop artists–Jay Z, Kanye, Eminem, Russell Simmons–are releasing statements in support of gay people. Even the future pioneers of rap have shown support. A$AP Rocky once said about homosexuality that you lose too many friends being homophobic and that hating gays is like being sexually racist.

Murs, along with other rappers who champion the cause, use their influence to show future generations that being gay isn’t a crime. The US government suggests that gay people are not equal citizens by not federalizing gay marriage nor any form of legislation that would at least give gay people some legal recognition to be honored by each state. However, public figures who have influence can show others that supporting gay people shows more strength than rejecting them. Hell, it can even be lucrative.

Either way, the tides suggest that homophobia in the rap community will one day be a state of mind to be laughed at in the future, and Murs has helped that become a possibility.

Check out his groundbreaking song and the video below.

The male Ukrainian reporter who attempted to engage Will Smith in a lip lock at the Moscow premiere of “Men in Black 3” has apologized to the actor.

The star lost his cool when journalist Vitalii Sediuk tried to kiss him on the lips before the screening in Russia last week, and he shoved the man away and gave him a light back-hand across the face.

Now apologizing for his behavior, Sediuk tells HipHollywood.com, “I’m sorry, Will. It was a splash of emotion. I do apologize for my behavior. I think it was too much. Will Smith is a person who I deeply respect as an actor. When I met him in Moscow, I wanted to do something to impress him. We have a Slavic tradition.

Find out what the reporter says he’ll do if he sees Smith again and watch his interview over at Eurweb.com.

I don’t know when the members of the ’70s rock band KISS became so concerned with Rihanna’s career but they are clearly not fans. At a press conference for the band’s upcoming concert with Mötley Crüe, band frontman Gene Simmons took it upon himself to hype up interest for the show by going in on the popular music acts of today. Here’s what he told the press:

“We’re sick and tired of girls getting up there with dancers and karaoke tapes in back of them. No fake bulls***. Leave that to Rihanna, Shmianna and anyone who ends their name with an A.”

Ok then.

Once Gene got the shade ball rolling, Mötley Crüe’s drummer Tommy Lee decided to add his two cents on the matter in an interview with Billboard.com.

“No disrespect to Rihanna, she’s a great singer, but we’re in a slump for some s*** that has some personality and appeal beyond a bunch of pop stuff that’s floating around out there,” he said. “I’m glad he [Gene] said that actually because I don’t think I can bear watching another f***ing award show that is just a little bit better than “American Idol.” It’s f***ing pathetic to watch people go out and f***ing karaoke with a bunch of lights and video.”

Tell ‘em why you mad.

So far Rihanna’s rep has been unavailable for comment, but I bet Rih Rih is cooking up a nice Twitter thrashing for these band members. Can’t say they’re necessarily wrong, but they didn’t have to put her out there like that.

What do you think about what these rockers had to say?

So apparently Usher has a “hit list” of women he’d like to snuggle up to this winter and Rihanna’s not on it, but she used to be. Now magazine recently asked the singer about rumors that the two were getting close over the summer and here’s what he said:

“She’s beautiful, but she’s not necessarily on my hit list — she’s like my sister right now.

“Or cousin — we have kissed.”

Uh which is it? “not necessarily” and “right now” sound like Usher is still trying to find love or at least a little somethin’ somethin’ in a hopeless place. I don’t know why people like to throw out phrases like “she’s like a sister/brother” knowing their intentions are hardly sibling-like. But since Usher does have a list of ladies he’d like to get back to maybe Ri Ri is at the bottom.

He also told the mag, “I’m dating at the moment – not anyone in particular, but I have a few people I’m interested in.”

What do you think about Usher’s comment on his relationship with Rihanna? Could you see these two together?
