What is going on with Robert Pattinson's Beard??

Robert Pattinson Known as Edward Cullen from the Twilight Saga Series by Stephanie Meyer has grown some type of wildebeest or animal on his face and it looks disgusting. I don't understand why he doesn't just shave it off. ROBERT IF YOU DON'T DO IT I WILL!!!!!!

We’ve Got Bieber Fever!

So I was reading earlier and it turns out that about 75% of teenage girls in the world are suffering from this disease called BIEBER FEVER! So who is this overnight super star? Justin Drew Bieber a 16 year old Canadian Native is one of the most talented young men I have ever seen. He has it all in one package; he’s good looking and has a voice that engages you to his music. His debut single “One Time” released in 2009 took teenage girls by storm. In ten years I see Justin Bieber still taking the world by storm with his good looks and music. But for now I don’t think there’s a cure for Bieber Fever it’s going to be here for a very long time. Thanks for reading and next time on The Cynic Pad I’m reviewing the cast of If I Can Dream and the Show Documenting them as they progress into the entertainment and fashion industry.

HEY!

Hey guys! Okay so I've been super super busy but luckily I have the GREATEST best friend ever who is going to be helping me out I don't know when she will make her first post but she is really talented so I'm sure It will be GREAT!!! Thanks for reading <3

Youtube Video: Roque's Reality Journal Entry #2

Now that is has been days since my 19th birthday, I decided to record a video in order to show you guys how much I appreciate everyone. You guys have given me amazing messages that I will remember for a long time.

Four suicides in three weeks!

Suicides seem to be on the rise in gay teens. I found this on www.perezhilton.com

This is possibly one of the most horrific things we've heard in quite some time.

Tyler Clementi, a gay freshman at Rutgers University, has taken his life by jumping off of the George Washington Bridge last week after two classmates secretly filmed him having sex and then broadcast it over the internet.

Dharun Ravi and Molly Wei have each been charged with two counts of invasion of privacy, and could face up to five years in prison if convicted on a third degree offense.

Worse yet, Ravi is being charged with two additional counts of invasion of privacy, because he apparently attempted to film AGAIN two days later!

Check out (above) a news report on the incident before the student's death.

Absolutely vile. We can't even begin to imagine how this poor teen must have felt.

Why anyone would do that to someone else is beyond us.

Our hearts go out to his family, friends, and loved ones. We can't even begin to express how grief-stricken we are from hearing about this awful, unnecessary tragedy.

Four teenage boys dead in 3 weeks!!!!

ENOUGH is ENOUGH! These tragedies need to stop!

The Biggest/Scariest Thing (Vlog) I've Ever Done.

It's no surprise that I'm a techno-moron, so bear with me. I have no clue how to combine the two clips below into a single vlog. I wouldn't be ballsy enough to post this if I hadn't gone to CIP. These are some major revelations and it's a huge deal that I'm even sharing this drivel. Oh, and I blink a lot while I vlog, apparently. I frequently pause while I'm formulating thoughts. Get over it. You know you love me!

**I should preface this by saying I love my dad dearly. I realize these clips could easily be misinterpreted, but I wouldn't be the person I am today without him (i.e. his disclosure about his homosexuality). I am far more open-minded, educated, and real as a result. And perhaps I am a little more brave because of him, too.

Watch this one first:



And if you're still awake, please watch this slightly longer one:



If you've managed to sit through these (combined it's about 7 minutes of video), you are my hero. And if you were bored out of your mind, I completely understand and no hard feelings. Really.

But this is me.

This.
Is.
Me.

In all my glory.
So take it or leave it.

Jennifer Aniston fears of technology

She maybe a celebrity and famous but she is not good in using technology. She calls herself "a neo-luddite".

"Jen's friends constantly make fun of her because she doesn't know how to programme her DVR or her home stereo and she hasn't the slightest clue about how to download a song from the internet. She still has one of the old-school, first generation iPods. Jen is like, 'Why do I need to upgrade when this one works just fine?'"

Web Video Is The Future Television

Video overwhelms the Web. And it should.

There is plenty of evidence to suggest that the Internet, at one time the plumbing that connected pages of text and occasional images, is rapidly transforming itself to be a network of video publishing and viewing.

At first glance, this seems quite terrible. But in fact the emergence of the Video Web is critically important, intellectually exciting, and entirely inevitable.

There are historic reasons why we fear video. For most of us who grew up on Batman, or Gilligan's Island, or Charlie’s Angels, we've known that TV was at best junk food... and at worst, a cognitive cancer. In recent years, television has become far less benign, filling hours with a grim view of our world with programs like Fear Factor, Big Brother, GLO TV or the Jersey Shore. As television increasingly dominates our leisure and screen time, it has continued to spiral down toward base human fears and car-wreck peeping tom voyeurism.

When it came along in 2005, Youtube could have been viewed as an accelerator of this trend toward trivial amusement and video junk food. Certainly, squirrels on skateboards didn't qualify as height art. But Web video isn't television. It's something else entirely. And in the past 5 years, from 2005 to 2010, as Web video has moved to become the fastest growing and most prevalent form of traffic emerging on the Web, something else happened.

Web video abandoned TV.

There are plenty of examples of this — but the perhaps most dramatic one is the growth of TED Talks. TED Curator, Chris Anderson, calls this emergence Crowd Accelerated Innovation. His thesis is that Web video accelerates the cycle of humans creating, sharing, and iterating.

YOU MUST WATCH:

Chris Anderson: How web video powers global innovation

Three things have changed in past five years — the combination is like rocket fuel for Web video.

1. Cameras. Web video cameras are now standard fare on cell phones. Flip Cams are cheap and record remarkable HD video. The sales of Digital SLRs (DSLR's) put high quality camera with interchangeable lenses in the hands of mid-budget pro-sumers.

2. Bandwidth. Back in 2005, broadband was still elusive for many Web surfers. And video just wasn't a very good experience on dial up. Now, video moves with rare buffering as users find they are able to get a HD experience with relative ease.

3. Distribution. Youtube was important in breaking the monopoly that broadcast and cable had over video distribution, but since 2005 more and more distribution solutions have come on line. Devices like the iPhone and iPad have made Web video viewing far more ubiquitous. But the barrier between the Web and the living room flatscreen is about to burst wide open. With boxes like Roku, Boxee, and AppleTV(2) on the way, viewers are going to be able to choose between broad Web video offerings, and more limited cable/entertainment packages. And 'over the top' solutions like Netflix make the Internet to flatscreen option all the more reasonable.

The trifecta of change — Cameras, Bandwidth,and Distribution promises a future where change happens quickly. Of course, there can't only be winners. The broadcasters and cable companies that have for decades been able to be the exclusive distributor of video via closed one-way networks are now starting to feel the sands shift under their feet.

Jennifer Aniston being offered 50 Million to act in new sitcom

Jennifer Aniston has been offered by NBC as much as $50 million to act in a new sitcom.

One source said she still thinking about the offer, saying “She’s being offered a staggering $2m an episode if with a guarantee of 24 shows, plus a signing bonus. But one of Jen’s biggest fears is if she accepts the NBC deal and the series fails, she’ll be an instant Hollywood has-been. It’s a huge gamble for her. So is going back to TV. She fears people will see it as a desperate step back.”

Dwight's B-Boy Stance is UNCUT!

So a few years back I had the wonderful opportunity to work with Cassidy on his music video B-Boy Stance. Funny thing about working on this video is that once it aired BET and MTV would only play the uncut version at night after hours due to him calling a certain rapper gay and I had the opportunity to play that rapper’s love interest. I won’t mention that rapper’s name because lord knows I don’t need no “unit” coming to my house. Please just check out the video and leave comments, you may have already seen the video; however did not realize that it was a young Dwight dancing around in pink… LOL!

I Know This Much Is True

My experience at @SarahRobinson's event, Creating Irresistible Presence, over the weekend was so mind blowing that I'm not sure where to begin. This was my first conference ever, and it was a smart choice. I made wonderful new friends, centered myself and realized that this book I want to write-- this giant looming task that's been scaring me shitless-- is already writing itself on this very blog. Who knew? (insert lightbulb flash here)

Moving right along.

I know this much is true:

If I don't write, I'll die.
I am scared.
Scared in general, and scared to write about certain things.
"They" tell me I'm not good enough.
"They" tell me everything has already been written, & written better.
"They" tell me not to bother, because no one will care, and no one will read.
I have to stop listening to them. They don't matter.

I am nauseous. I am going to throw up. I feel the burning bile in the back my throat.
The fear bubbles up inside of me, unfurling and reaching, ready to take over.
But I'm not going to let it. I am standing up. I am tall. I am strong.
I am not a shrinking violet. I will not shrink to fit.

There are stories stirring underneath my skin. Little flutters waiting to be set free in the wind.

My life, all that I choose to share, will be the legacy I leave to those who may be lost.

I am not alone.
I am not alone.
I am not alone.
I'll keep saying it until I believe it.

I just want to be loved.
I just want to be loved.
I just want to be loved.
I'll keep saying, "I am already loved" until I believe it.

I want: If you write it, they will come (a la Kevin Costner in Field of Dreams)
I am not going to beg, plead, bribe and whine at you to read my stuff.
I want you to want to come here. I want you to want me.
And I don't want to feel ashamed in wanting that. I want that to be okay.
I tell myself: I am special. What I have to say is important and significant.

I feel like I give so much love, but am afraid to ask for it in return.
I don't want to have to ask--I just want to feel it, to know it's there.
I felt it at CIP. A still warm, fresh-out-of-the-dryer blanket wrapped around me.
Now I'm home and I don't feel it anymore, but I know it's still there.

My heart is so full of all of you. And so open.
I am making myself vulnerable to you.
I am scared. It's okay to be scared.....just a little bit.

What you see is what you get.
I am me. I am Erin. I have my quirks & faults, but my strengths, too.
I am enough, I do enough, I have "enough-ness" (thank you, @Nicole_Willis).
I am going to stop being so "good" (thank you @Tracilove).

I am a writer.
I am a writer.
I am a writer.

I AM A WRITER, DAMN IT!

What are you thinking right now? Please share your thoughts in the comments.

Jennifer Aniston

Contrary to rumors, there's no reconciliation between Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer, her rep tells PEOPLE. A recent tabloid story suggesting Aniston and Mayer spent time together in Georgia while she films her new romantic comedy, Wanderlust, and are back together is "a work of fiction," says her rep. "Jennifer is not romantically involved with John Mayer."

It's Roque Caston's 19th Birthday

On Sunday, September 26, it is going to be my 19th birthday. I am so excited for this. I am just very excited on how my life has changed since then. I look back at my life and see that my life has changed drastically. I have been on an incredible journey, and I still think I have long way to go. My journey car is still in the garage. Now I know that I have a long journey ahead of me.

In the past year, I have seen amazing things happen. I saw myself on the big screen for the first time in the independent film My Friend, Oscar. I had an amazing time working on the set. It was my first movie and I will never forget it.

Then I started Roque's Reality, a blog about my everyday comedy life. After constantly changing the URL I found the right name and it is starting to grow a fan base. After doing the blog, people are giving me positive reviews because my life is a little bit of an open book.

Strangely, they are thinking about dubbing me the black gay Chelsea Handler.

Even though I am happy for the comparison because I am a huge fan of Chelsea Handler, I think it's a little crazy to compare me to her. She drinks vodka and I am not allowed to do that yet.

After that, I started working here and there. I have been doing films and tv shows here and there. Then I performed stand up comedy for a interactive website. It was an amazing experience and the first time I can introduce everyone my comedic skills.

Now I am turning to television. I recently got hired as a writer and actor for an upcoming television show. I have a few sketches coming up on the show. Things are going great filming the show.

I just want to say thank you to everyone. I know I am going to be happy being 19. Have a good night. I know I will.

In Touch with Cornelius Jones Jr

Published on: 22nd September, 2010 at www.prideindex.com

• 
  

Cornelius Jones Jr., delivers an outstanding performance in his one man show FlagBoy, an autobiographical account which explores everything from his relationships with family, race, sexuality and his coming to terms with being HIV positive.

Jones, 32, recently spoke with us aboutFlagBoy, his other projects and about his up coming trip to Chicago; he will be in town from September 27-October 3 to star in Disney’s: The Lion King, which plays at the Chicago Theater.

Why did you decide to produce FlagBoy as a one man show rather than a play with a full ensemble cast?

Well FlagBoy actually birthed in a memoir writing workshop. My original plans were to write the memoir. I didn’t really make a conscious choice to produce it as a one-man play vs. a full ensemble cast. The creative process presented itself to me as a one-man show. I allow the creative process to develop naturally…I give room for the divine in this situation. A full ensemble play is in my current conversations as I continue to emerge as a theater artist/producer as well it may be a little different from the one-man show, but I am open to it fully. However, FlagBoy is autobiographical….it’s about my life, me. And what better and true way to present this honest story through my soul and my body first.

Tell us about your current projects and any notable challenges and how did you overcome them.

My current projects areFlagBoy and HomoAffection(which I speak about below). I also perform selections fromFlagBoy and HomoAffectionas well as performance poetry and original monologues that are not found in the two full-length pieces, at various venues in and outside of NYC. My challenges: 1. Self-producing and the marketing of my work can be taxing and some days I am completely drained as I do a lot of my marketing, publicity, and self-promotion on my own. Thankfully I have a friend who is now assisting with a great deal of the administrative work. However, it is a lot of work and I have my days in which I want to just throw the towel in and surrender. And when those days come…from out of the blue I may receive a phone call either congratulating or affirming me in the work that I am doing or I’ll receive some interest in either wanting to help spread the word about my work or a possible booking. And when it does become too much, I allow myself to hibernate for a day or two or more. I also just remind myself of how far I’ve come and I do my best to live in the now and enjoy it, while reminding myself to not compare who I am and my work with others because everyone’s story and journey may appear similar but the walk is different. So I am so grateful and thankful for these moments.

Do you have plans to self-produce any other plays? If so when?

Well I just recently self-produced and premiered a new work currently titledHomoAffection, which is partly an autobiographical journey exploring different same gender connected relationships I’ve encountered with my father, brother, best friend, and former lovers. The piece also speaks to the intersection of spirituality and sexuality and how we as men negotiate our way through life and how we affirm our self-worth. The story is told through memories, dreams, and visions and incorporates multi-media, documentary footage, dance, and theatrical storytelling. It’s more of a conceptual piece… a story told in 4 movements/sections or “breaths” I would say because each piece can stand on its own.

I am also completing a play with a full ensemble cast, which again explores a young dancer’s relationship with his ailing father. And of course there are more ideas bubbling in my head that will be meeting the paper real soon. Stay tuned as I will continue to produce other artistic works, as long as the creativity keeps pouring in.

I understand that you were a member of the original touring cast ofDisney’s:The Lion King, what was that like, tell us about the audition process.

Yes I am a Lion King “OG”! OG Stands for Original Gazelle. The First National touring company of The Lion King was called The Gazelle Tour Company. So if you every here someone say “I’m a Lion King OG,” they are referencing being an original company member of The Lion King’s first national tour, which opened in Denver, Colorado in 2002. Since then I went on to becoming a member of the company that is currently still playing to sold-out houses on Broadway in NYC, I also performed briefly with Lion King’s 2nd National Touring company (The Cheetah Company), which opened in Chicago in 2003 or 2004 I believe. The 2nd National touring company of The Lion King has since closed but the Broadway cast and The 1st National Tour are still going strong as well as the Vegas, London, German, Holland, and Asian companies. It has been quite a joy working and performing with Disney’s:The Lion King. The company has treated me extremely well artistically and financially. It is an honor to receive the privilege of traveling from company to company. Disney has a lot of trust and faith in the work I do. Now let me not forget to mention my audition process for the show…let’s just say it was not easy…fun, but not easy. I auditioned for the show 6 times….6!!!!!!!…before being cast. At the time I auditioned there were no touring companies, only a Broadway company and LA company, and they were opening a Canadian company. After my numerous auditions, I was never aware the creative team was actually considering me for the birthing first national tour, and that is what happened!

Where do you currently reside and where are you originally from?

Current residence: New York City and birthplace: Richmond, VA.

What is you earliest memory of being gay? Describe what was like to come out to your parents, to the world?

Well what I’ve learned in my short 32 years and with some good therapy is… though “I’m OUT” or have came out, I am still coming out. In situations where people do not know me or new places or surroundings I am still coming out. You feel me? So though I am out and public about by same gender affection, attraction, and connection in my work as a theater artist/actor “the world” still has to get to know me and I’m still coming out to “the world”. So let me answer the parents question: My coming out story to my parents is a bit traumatic in a sense and kind of humorous also, I guess it’s however you look at it. I share my coming out story to my parents very openly and candidly in FlagBoy. Just know that my process was challenging and my first coming out (yes…I came out more than once) to my family was not my choice, I was pressured by a friend of my parent’s to come out to them. My second coming out to my parents was my choice, which was during my early stages of becoming comfortable and okay with my skin-my being. I don’t want to be long winded but to I invite you to check out FlagBoy to get the word from word version of my coming out story.

Describe your artistic style.

My style as a solo/theater artist infuses a lot of oral history, storytelling, dance and movement styles in African/Modern/Jazz/House Dance, a little prose/poetry, spoken word, and soulful vocals. I really love the joy in oral history, ethnography, and the storytelling of it. I gather my own personal stories and stories from family and friends…place these stories on my body and embody the different characters that come out. Now if you ever come and just hear me sing, you’ll get a lil Al Green with a lil James Moore with a lil Stevie and a lil Seal and there you have me…I think…ha!

Where did you study professionally?

Duke Ellington School of the Arts (Wash., DC), Syracuse University (Musical Theater – Freshman Year), The University of the Arts (BFA in Theater Arts), New York University (Just recently received my MA in Dramatic Writing, Educational Theater, & Performance – May 2010!)

Name 3 people who have influenced your artistic style.

Umm…I can’t just name 3… Essex Hemphill/Marlon Riggs, John Leguizamo, Bill Cosby, Tom Hanks, My Family, House and African Dance, Afro-Beat music, NYC Ball Kids, Southern Pageantry Kids, AND The Little Engine That Could!!! Ok, I’ll stop here for now…Hmmm…you did say “people”…I took it a lil further.

I’ve read that you were featured in the television series NBC’s Law & Order: SVU tell us what it was like? Do you plan to do any more television dramas?

Well of course I plan to do more television dramas…that is still a big goal of mine. I was just recently featured in the 2nd season of a popular web series called “Drama Queenz” (check it out on YouTube).

SVU episode was titled “Burned” featuring Michael Michelle and Blaire Underwood. Being cast as a Burn Surgeon with lines on Law & Order: SVU was almost like winning the mega-million (hmmm…I think…ha!) In all honestly, I was completely honored and humbled by the entire experience. I had the opportunity to be directed by Television/Film vet Eriq LaSalle. Though being on the set of some television shows feel like a microwave minute, I really benefited from the experience and the direction of Mr. LaSalle and working with SVU vets Mariska Hargitay and Chris Meloni. I also returned this past season as a Resident Doctor in episode “Savior,” which featured Mischa Barton (just to let you know there was an alternate ending that the studio used and sadly my major lines were not used. In case you did see it and wanted to know what happened to the baby…the baby didn’t survive). Now if only I can get on Grey’s Anatomy…I LOOOOVE that show!

What’s playing in your CD player?

Everything. Ok I will try to give you an abbreviated version: A lil bit of Karen Clark-Sheard “Favor”, Dorinda Clark Cole “I’m Still Here”, Kelis “Acapella”, Usher “OMG”, Estelle “Freak”, Twinkie Clark “Worship The King”, Ivete Sangalo “A Galera”, Magarathe Menenzes “Pra Voce”, Saulo/Banda Eva “Nao Precisar Mudar”, Patricia Costa “Pega Pega”, Yahzarah “Cry Over You”, Eric Roberson “Change for Me”, Baron “Celebrity”, Lady Gaga “Bad Romance”, Fela Kuti “Shakara”, PJ Morton “Don’t Ever Leave”, N’Dambi “Ode to Nina”, Dennis Ferrer “Hey Hey” (Actually I’m a big House Head…so I listen, on a daily basis to: Dennis Ferrer, Louie Vega, Masters At Work!!!), Jill Scott “Do you Remember”, LeToya “Regret”, Ledisi “So Right”, Sarah Vaughn “Dindi” Katy Perry “California Girls” Trey Songz “Say Aah” David Guetta “On The Dance Floor” Kelly Rowland “When Love Takes Over”, Black Eyed Peas “One Tribe”, Joshua Radin “The Fear You Won’t Fall” hmmm…that wasn’t so brief…. I love music!!!

Tell us 2 books and CDs everyone should own.

2 is hard…how about 3. The Book of Psalms, The 4 Agreements, and Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire….oh and my book (when it’s published!) CD’s: Hmmmmm… Ledisi “Soul Singer” and Tamia “Tamia”

Where do you see yourself in the future?

Actually, where I am right now is a beautiful space and place to be in, so I am really focusing on the now and living in the now. I feel I do so much thinking about where I will be in the future (“what’s next?”), and don’t really live in the present. Also, I have been blessed with a lot at my age and I have accomplished some great things really fast, so I am really resting and enjoying this moment, as I figure out what’s next…Or what I should say as I wait for the “what’s next” to show up/present itself. “What do I want to be when I grow up?” We are always growing up even when we feel we’ve achieved it all. There’s more to learn and more to do.

What advice would you offer to other aspiring actors?

Approaching the business of theater or television/film or even as an independent performing artist…find a mentor…someone who has lived and breathed both sides of the industry. Also, stay up to date on current events read the newspaper, magazine, watch the news…just stay as current as possible and don’t abandon any of your hobbies…You never know where a hobby can take you in life or how you can use it to help your career as an actor.

Shameless promotion, when and where can we see you in action?
