That's what he said. Actually, he said "a lot of these cats think they're taking a shortcut but they end up taking a detour through the penitentiary."

True. Surviving the Game was the first time I really noticed him (as an actor).

Now, now, Ice-T, don't act all brand new. Some us remember when you had your gorgeous ex-wife posing in a skimpy bikini with guns.

I try to tell these kids that most of these rappers are actors. They aren't REALLY doing what Tupac, Ice-T, NWA, etc. claimed they were doing. That's why I still love the rappers and emcees who never faked the funk. Rakim was just a weed-head lyricist, LL Cool J was just a lady lovin' lyricist, I could go on and on. :)

I don't really see what the big deal is about this article, a lot of people trying to make it out in Hollywood don't have college degrees to begin with and I didn't get the "don't even bother with college" vibe from this slideshow.

Then you're in the right thread.

What next?! :eek:

Miley Cyrus ANNOUNCES (that's the part that gets me about all of this) that she's not going to college yet. :eek:

:eek: OMG, WHAT WILL WE TELL THE KIDS?! :p

On another note, she looks like she's had the Hilary Duff and Lindsay Lohan surgery. Or she's coming into her looks, but it's probably surgery assisted and not a natural progression.

Lies.

Do you blame her? You have to strike the iron while it's hot ( I think) and four years away from the public eye can end a career in Hollywoodland.

uh...ok..........

Point of the article, it's not about WHAT you know it's about WHO you know.

[Didn't read the article, so I'm not sure if she was talking about the "traditional" college experience]

There's nothing that says she can't take online courses or work out an arrangement with a university. Just like many other folks, she could juggle work and school if she really wanted to.

And how well you do them. :p

I think she says something about going 'back' to school later. I know Julia Stiles in particular attended school but she also dropped out of the acting world a bit while she did. It's not impossible but it's not ridiculous what Miley Cyrus is doing now either, assuming her money is being managed responsibly.

I was trying not to go there but thanks!

LOL. She made reference to her grandma going to school at 62. Yeah, Miley!
