KANYE WEST ACCUSES MADONNA OF RACISM AND SEXISM

Leave a comment

imageNEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles) – “Kanye is the new Madonna,” the diva told the  New York Daily News today while promoting her new album Rebel Heart. “Kanye is the black Madonna.”

She continued, “We know, and recognize, that we have that in common. We’re comrades in the envelope-pushing genre.

But Kanye West didn’t appreciate Madonna’s comment, accusing her of racism and sexism.

“First of all, I have nothing in common with her,” West said.  “Secondly, for Madonna to call me ‘black’ is racist. What would she feel if I called her the white Madonna?” West added: “I’m a man. For me to be likened to a woman is very offensive.  It’s sexist.”

Kim Kardashian joined her husband in criticizing Madonna for her comments. “I think she has lost her star power and is trying to ride on the coattails of my husband to get back in the limelight,” she said.

PHILIPPINES FILM BEST ACTRESS AWARD PITS NORA AUNOR VS. NORA AUNOR, AND IT’S A TIE!

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – Philippines actress Nora Aunor — the same Nora Aunor who was snubbed by President NoyNoy Aquino in last year’s naming of the country’s National Artists – keeps on reaping film awards. She is unstoppable.

This time, Ms. Aunor beat herself in the Best Actress category of the annual Gawad Pasado film awards.  PASADO (Pampelikulang Samahan ng mga Dalubguro) is an organization of private and public school master teachers, elementary through college, reviewing films as documents and materials for teaching different disciplines.

Actually, Ms. Aunor tied with herself in this year’s Best Actress award.  She was nominated for two of her films, Hustisya,  and Dementia.

It is not uncommon for film awards bodies to declare a tie among contenders in acting or film.  However, with Ms. Aunor winning in both her films, PASADO did not have to go through the trouble of ordering a second award trophy. That saved the teachers some money, especially considering that teachers are among the lowest paid professionals in the Philippines.

All’s well that ends well!
