Good Girls

Is  there trouble in Paradise? I have always thought this  was a marriage of convenience, mostly for Robin Thicke. I don't blame him though. This is what I expected. He has used Paula Patton's new found popularity in the black community to build his own. Robin Thicke has become the cool white guy with the  R&B flavor,while Paula has become the black chick who has his baby.  Her career is like that of a modern day Josephine Baker. She must have got a dose of reality. It doesn't work for her like it does for him. The novelty of their relationship has worn off. Her last movie role has become true to life.

This is the modus operandi when the races mix.  One rises, while the other one falls.  Whether it be in business or romance. I like to use the analogy of Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake and the infamous Super Bowl incident. He has been on the rise every since. But she has never quite recovered. There was talk of Paula being overly flirty with other artists at the "Hip Hop Awards" show. That was aimed at making Robin jealous. But I doubt it worked. She is just trying to remain relevant among all these beautiful women . She is not the star she once was. Especially in the midst of all these good girls in the "Blurred Lines" video.
