Halle Berry and Jamie Foxx Make Out on Stage at Spike TV's 2009 Guys Choice Awards

I guess Jamie Foxx died and went to heaven last night when he and Halle Berry made out on stage at Spike TV's 2009 "Guys Choice Awards." He presented Berry with the "Decade of Hotness" Award. She was honored for providing us with years of sexy, sultry scenes while remaining classy. When he presented her with the award, he thanked her with a kiss on the lips and then she took it a step further. She thanked him with a crotch grab while he took a handful of her booty. I wonder what her "baby daddy" has to say about their moves. I hope he wasn't in the audience watching this ridiculous side show. If you ask me that was totally tasteless and cheap, but then again, I didn't expect any better from Jamie Foxx. I expected a lot better from Halle Berry, but I guess I was sadly mistaken into thinking she had class.

Robert Redding Jr. Takes Offense to Blacks Coming Up Empty-Handed at the 81st Oscar Awards

I am all for equality and justice for all, but it seems that a sense of entitlement among my fellow African Americans is rearing its head again, especially since President Barack Obama became the first African American president of the United States. Now Robert "Rob" Redding Jr, President of Redding News Review and Redding Communications Inc., has a big problem with blacks coming up empty-handed at the recent Oscar Awards. Yep, entitlement rearing its head once again.

Blacks were snubbed in major categories at last night's 81st Academy Awards. Although two blacks were nominated to win on Hollywood's big night in the Best Supporting Actress category - Viola Davis of "Doubt" and Taraji P. Henson of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" - neither won an Oscar. Penelope Cruz beat both Henson and Davis to become the first Spanish-born actress to win an Oscar for her role in "Vicky Cristina Barcelona." Blacks were not nominated for best actor, actress, director, or movie.

What's more, "Trouble the Water," a film made and produced by blacks during the Hurricane Katrina, also failed to win in the Best Documentary Feature category "Man on Wire," a movie about tightrope walking won. Source: Redding News Review.

Come on people, there are more important things for us to worry about than to bicker about blacks coming up empty-handed at the Oscar Awards. There are real racist attacks being made against blacks everyday in this country, including the low blow the New York Post and Sean Delonas took against President Obama, for us to get in the muck over the Oscar Awards. Mr. Redding, you provide a valuable service, one that I have used to find news stories for my blog, but I am really disappointed that you engage in this spirit of entitlement that has dogged so many blacks in this country. Didn't Halle Berry, Jamie Foxx, Whoopi Goldberg, Cuba Gooding Jr., Morgan Freeman, among others win big at the Oscars? This is much ado about nothing.
