I'll get a script and everything's really great, everything's well-drawn, but the mom is like this character, like stock footage, they go and get that out. They plug it in, this idea of "mother." You could lift moms out of any script, no matter what the culture, what the neighborhood, what the economic status, even if it's a period mom, and you could switch them around, and they'd be the same person. I think it's because most people don't really have a human idea, a specific life that they attach to who their mother was. Their mother was there for them, so it either gets deified, or the opposite. That Mommie Dearest kind of thing. We love them or we don't, or we rebel, but we can't see who they are. That they are a person in life with taste, with sexuality, with opinions, who is pissy also, who has a right to not be the big tit for you every time you want something. And then we leave, and we go off to college or off into the world to work-you really appreciate your mom then. But there's that big chunk when you don't know your mom's faults, desires, wishes, distastes." [The A.V. Club]

<![CDATA[Foxy Brown's New Album Art Looks Very Familiar]]> The mentally Ill Na Na strikes again, this time, regarding cover art for her new album Brooklyn's Don Diva which, according to Amazon, will either be released on November 20 or December 11 of this year. Doesn't it look just a lil' bit too much like Lil' Kim's 2003 La Bella Mafia? It would not surprise me in the least if she did that on purpose, even though the two have supposedly squashed their decade-long beef. Or perhaps "night bridge" is just like the popular backdrop at the Portrait Place in Brooklyn's Fulton Street Mall. (Full-size image after the jump.) [Amazon]

Or, as Dodai pointed out, perhaps Foxy just borrowed the idea for her album cover from this movie, the same way she borrowed her name from it.

<![CDATA[ We're sure this will shock nobody, but Foxy...]]> We're sure this will shock nobody, but Foxy Brown (née Inga Marchand) was placed in solitary confinement on NYC's Rikers Island jail (where she's currently serving one year on probation violations) and will be kept segregated from the general population for 76 days. According to the NY Post, Foxy earned her spot in solitary after she committed three violations, including fist-fighting with an inmate, mouthing off to the correction officers, and refusing to take a drug test.
