Frank Ocean, Michael Jackson and George Zimmerman make headlines


Rising R&B star, Frank Ocean’s manager, Christian Clancy apologized to the Target this week for implying they were prejudice.  With Frank Ocean announcing his same sex orientation only a week ago and days later Target refusing to sell his new album, The Color Orange, his manager found reason to incriminate the brand. The R&B star’s manager tweeted a message that made it seem that Target's choice was due to the singer's sexual orientation. However, at the end of this week, Clancy apologized and clarified that Target refused, because the album went digital on iTunes first.



In the case of George Zimmerman, the issue of race as a motive in killing 17-year-old Trayon Martin is in question. Many across the United States beleive Zimmerman was a racist, and beleive that it was a motive in him killing the  young African American. Recent stories reveal that the young victim’s family attorney, says that Zimmerman's attitude on race, is NOT the issue. A Sanford, Florida homicide investigator told federal agents the same thing, but added that Zimmerman had "a little hero complex."


Spike Lee talks a Michael Jackson documentary. The movie director and friend of the late pop icon says that he has learned a lot looking through personal footage intended for a documentary on the album, “Bad.” 

"We have footage in this documentary that no one’s ever seen stuff that Michael shot himself.," states Lee. "We had complete access to the vault of Michael Jackson. He wrote 60 demos for the bad record, only 11 made it." The director adds that it's a, "treasure chest of findings."
