I argee, she does look her age (or at the most a couple of years shy of it), and I'm sure we all know plenty of black women Vivica's age who can compete with her (they just aren't famous). I actually met her once in person, and she was very nice, albeit still "home-girlish"...But then when I see her on tv and in articles in magazines, she sounds EXTREMELY "home-girlish" (ie. hood), like she's trying way too hard to be down...

I have always noticed a great deal of reggae music has anti gay themes or statements in it. Sometimes I think people who are unfamilliar with the accent cannot tell what they are listening to. They play things on the radio here (anti gay, sexually explicit) that would bleeped if it was said straight out in a hip hop song but gets by in a reggae song because many do not realize what is being said.
I have noticed that too myself. I would be like "Umm, did they not know he/she just said ?!" Then once they finally figure out what was said, they take it out of the song (same thing happens in hip-hop and rap songs, like how "they" didn't figure out what "skeet" means until later).
