TV Buzz In the age of Obama, Comedy Central is [finally] trying to capture an African-American audience in this sketch show disguised as a newsmagzine set to air before The Daily Show and The Colbert Report (not bad). Rumor has it that Tyler Perry had to be “forcibly removed” from the set when he learned that his name wasn’t attached to the project. Thank goodness too, because we’ll take Grier’s Maya Angelou over towering nightmare Madea any day. (Also, I made up that rumor.)
Style Buzz The July issue of Vogue Italia features only black models has sparked controversy in both the fashion industry and popular culture. Franca Sozzani, editor-in-chief of Vogue Italia, created the “black issue” to draw attention to the lack of black models used in the fashion industry. The issue features over 100 pages of prominent black models such as Jourdan Dunn, Naomi Campbell, and Tyra Banks. This isn’t the first time Vogue has sparked racial controversy but, to Vogue’s credit, the controversies trigger discussion, which is always a good thing.
