theGrio: "Claude Needs to Take 7 And Come And Get Him" & Other Observations on Brian McKnight

If you don't get the reference in the title, Brian McKnight (pictured) is the younger brother Claude McKnight, one of the founders of the gospel group "Take 6."Wednesday on theGrio, The Snob published an opinion piece on how some celebrities aren't handling the "softer side of fame" all that well, namely Brian McKnight, who is railing against the dying light by penning tunes for YouPorn.

It's hard out there for an R&B singer, guys. He had no other choice but to start writing hot tracks for Internet porn.

Snippet after the jump.

Things That Are Depressing: Laurence Fishburne's Daughter's Self-Released Sex Tape

This story jumped up and smacked me in the face this morning. Then assaulted me on Twitter.

From TMZ:

TMZ has learned Montana Fishburne is starring in a porno flick for Vivid Entertainment -- explaining, "I've watched how successful Kim Kardashian became and I think a lot of it was due to the release of her sex tape."

Unlike the celeb she admires -- Montana is not arguing that her tape was stolen or obtained illegally.

That just hurt so, so bad.

Thandie Reads Palin Porno Aloud ... Pun Intended

Thandie Newton IS Sarah Palin ... sort of.

On BBC Two's Graham Norton Show, British actress Thandie Newton and comedic actor Ricky Gervais did their own reading of Larry Flynt latest opus, the Hustler produced porno flick, "Nailin' Palin."

The trio are surprised to find that the prono is actually a somewhat cleverly written satire ... with unclothed boobs, references to Lance Bass and a lot of other NSFW tidbits. In the above clip, Newton proves herself to be a good sport and that her cornball American accents are getting better and better. First she smirked her way through Condoleezza Rice's verbal ticks and mawking in "W." and here she is doing her own version of Gov. Sarah Palin.

The clip runs like "Inside the Actors' Studio," but with but with porn. Looking dainty and prim (as always), Newton manages to hog all the good chuckles while Gervais is forced to writhe in agony wishing he could play the bustier, sluttier version of our beloved Caribou Barbie. Instead, "The Office" star is reduced to your standard barely-to-non-talking prono stunt penis meat puppet attaché. Better luck next puny political porn, Gervais! (Via Defamer)
