Featured Film: "Don Jon" starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt & Scarlett Johansson


"There's only a few things that I really care about in life: My body, my pad, my ride, my family, my church, my boys, my girls, and my porn..." now REPEAT

LOL, Joseph Gordon-Levitt presents his new comedy, "Don Jon," starring himself, Scarlett Johansson, Julianne Moore, and Tony Danza. The story shows a young New Jersey guy dedicated to his family, friends, and church, who develops unrealistic expectations from watching porn and works to find happiness and intimacy with his potential true love (Scarlett Johansson's character "Barbara").  

When I first saw Levitt & Johansson filming this movie, I didn't necessarily expect for it to be comedy, but from the preview, I found the film amusingly hilarious granted I never and I hope to never walk in on my guy pleasuring himself to porn.  I really wouldn't know how to respond, but I definitely know I'm heading to theaters on October 18th to watch "Don Jon."  Did I mention that Joey wrote and directed this film? 

He such a talented fellow! Watch the trailer below to decide if you're coming with me.

Album Cover: Chris Brown - 'They Don't Know' feat. Aaliyah


Chris Brown shared the album cover for his second single, 'They Don't Know,' featuring everyone's beloved Baby Girl, Aaliyah. The track will make an appearance on Breezy sixth studio album, X (out July 16th) alongside his lead single 'Fine China.'  The album cover above shows a double reflection of C. Breezy with his arms stretched in a resemblance an 'X.'

The R&B singer was seen last week in Compton, CA shooting the music video for 'They Don't Know' surrounded by adorable children and his crew. Hopefully Chris would do this song some justice because I know people are locked & loaded to say something if he messes up this track since Aaliyah's name is attached to it.
