Does The L Word Hold Back On Lesbian Passion?

I think the L Word doesn’t go far enough in exploring lesbianism. Sometimes the sex scenes on the L Word appear fractured and not very sensual. Why is it just insinuated when one woman is stimulating another? Why can’t we actually see the stimulation? Why can’t the show actually “show” the women actually having sex? What is the fear?

The L Word is on cable television so the writers and producers should have more freedom. I don’t understand why hold back on the passion? I think the producers behind the L Word should take the sexuality to the next level and explore the passionate love between women. Although I think this clip between Brenda and Tina is wonderful and totally sexy and cute. It is kind of weird to see Tina not with Bette though. I still think the scene is passionate.

Why Do We Read The Tabloids?

I know I am late on this topic but I am sure everyone has heard about Mariah Carey marrying Nick Cannon. Yes I also purchased a copy of People’s Magazine when I was at the Supermarket the other day. I usually don’t read the tabloids but I thought this story was kind of intriguing and interesting. The wedding pictures are lovely and tastefully photographed.

I wonder why do people bother purchasing tabloids? What is the real reason? Do you ever wonder why? Is it because the public wants to live vicariously through the lives of people that are attractive, young, rich, and famous? Or is it because the gossip magazines are a guilty pleasure, a way for regular people to relax, escape, and fantasize?

People’s Magazine is actually considered the “best tabloid” in the sense the “stars” usually “sell” their stories to People first. People’s Magazine is considered very “star friendly” although sure People deals with gossip and dishes the dirt too. For some reason People’s Magazine is considered better then “In Touch Weekly”, “Us Magazine”, “National Enquirer” and “The Globe”. The British magazines Hello and OK Magazine are also considered very “star friendly” as well.

The other side of the story are the pernicious and deleterious comments people are making on the internet about the marriage. Maybe the marriage is a publicity stunt but so what big deal that’s showbiz. I also find it interesting that people are trying to tear down Nick Cannon most of the comments are that Nick is “boring” or “corny”.

Well my goodness a young black man can’t be from the suburbs of San Diego and actually be well adjusted without any baby mama drama to be “man enough”. Give me a break. Nick Cannon may not be a big star but the guy was the star of the movie Drumline a few years ago. Nick also had a successful show on MTV.
