Read All About It...Unseen legalities within Entertainment!

So I am sitting here reading up on my daily gossip for the day and I run across a few articles about about some of our beloved stars and programs. Seems that they have been in a little trouble recently and are working out their legalities. So let's take a look at a few stories that I ran past today:

1) "Sesame Street" Composer Pleads Not Guilty to Child Porn Chargers


Now this story hits home as being part of a generation that grew up on Sesame Street. One of the composers for the grammy-award winning Sesame Street plead "not-guilty" to producing, possessing,  and distributing pornography of a 4-year old child. The composer, Fernando Rivas, is currently under house arrest. Rivas was arrested in April 2011 after photos of the 4-year old being restrained "bondage-style" were discovered. Rivas admitted to having sent those photos to two other persons.

Now as much as I love "Sesame Street" growing up and still love it for my children...this seriously needs to be handled as quick as possible and in a discreet manner to save its reputation.

2) Rihanna's "We Found Love" Video Banned In France


So once again (and I mean this in a daily sense) Rihanna is in the headlines of recent Entertainment news, blogs, and vlogs. So Ms. Rihanna has put out another racy music video that has caught the attention of France. The French censors have made this decision based on the "self-destructive" behavior they feel the video contains. The Supreme Audiovisual Council of France have ruled the video to only be shown after 10pm due to its explicitness. This video will be the second video for Rihanna within recent months to have been banned. Her video for "S&M' had been banned in 10 other countries besides France in earlier months.

Now I am honestly not sure that Rihanna and her record company actually cares for other countries banning her music videos because her career seems to be built off of controversy.

3) Wesley Snipes Sued Over Credit Card Debt


Wesley Snipes is once again in financial trouble and having to face a credit card company in dispute of repayment for $30,000 in unpaid charges. He is currently serving a 3 year sentence for tax evasion. American Express, who has filed this lawsuit, attempted to recover their money prior to Mr. Snipes sentencing. They are now wanting to recover their owed monies in addition to associated legal fees.

I am no celebrity but I do know that your name is like credit within the Entertainment Industry and like credit you want to ensure that you keep your name in good standings. This is not a good example of keeping your name, finances and/or credit in good standing and this will follow him for quite some time.

These are just a few of the many legalities that are currently going on within the Entertainment Industry. Hopefully I brought light to few situations that you may or may not have known were occurring. So hopefully I have enlightened you minds on a different sector of the Entertainment Industry.

This is KB and this has been Real to Reel.

Where in the World is Andre 3000? (OutKast for that matter)

Now for all of my OutKast and "Andre 3 Stacks" fans, have any of you been wondering why Mr. Benjamin has not been on any of the music videos for songs that he has lent his lyrical genius? Well after a lot of pondering and asking various family members and friends of mine I think I have finally found a few possible answers. I have checked various sites, blogs, and social media networks looking for answers to this mystery as well.

Now for those of you unfortunate souls that do not know of Andre 3000 or OutKast, let me give you a little background information to bring you up to speed. OutKast is a hip-hop duo, consisting of Big Boi and Andre 3000, out of East Point, Georgia that was signed to LaFace Records as their first hip-hop group in 1992. (Side note: They were called "2 Shades Deep" and the "Misfits" before officially changing it to OutKast due to those names previously being taken...Let's be happy that happened!!!) Each member of OutKast has their own style of lyricism, hence the moniker "The Pimp and The Poet".

OutKast went on to form the Dungeon Family with close friends and label mates; Organized Noize and Goodie MOB. In 1992, they would also initially be heard on another label mate's hit; TLC's remix for "What about your friend's". In 1993, OutKast would release their debut single, Player's Ball, which would go on to top the BillBoard charts. Afterwards, OutKast would go on to release 6 albums, be nominated for countless awards, and win the majority of those that they were nominated for. Their efforts would influence amplified "southern hip-hop" and it various artists to follow. Big Boi and Andre 3000 have gone to establish successful collaborations as well as solo projects. Both members of the duo have gone on to emerge themselves as successful actors with numerous titles under their belts.

Now that we have the introduction out of the way, let's get to the business at hand. Why in the world has Andre 3000 not been appearing in music videos of songs that he has been featured in? Well it was initially speculated that Andre had issues with those particular artist. Well this was not true! It was also speculated that his management company, Family Tree Entertainment, and his manager, Michael "Blue" Williams wouldn't allow him to appear due to contractual reasons. It was also stated that Andre did not want to apear in any other artist's video before appearing in Big Boi's solo efforts (if this is true...talk about loyalty). Whatever the case may be...I would like to extend a request to "Mr. 3 Stacks" from myself and the rest of his fans by stating that we are definitely ready for some overdue lyrical mastery. The same goes for Big Boi "Daddy Phat Sacks", we are checking for your music as well to be on the racks and on iTunes.

All of this speculation brings the old saying to mind..."The world may never know".

This has been another Real to Reel word provided by yours truly.
