I was checking in with wwtdd.com, when I saw a post on how pissed off Angelina Jolie is about there being no black princesses in Disney. At first I was like, That is retarded. Whining about Disney princesses, psh. Then I realized that she’s got a point. There’s no Jewish Disney princesses either. Or Mexican princesses! WTF, Walt? Why is it that when you google “Disney Princesses” these are the only ones that show up:

Sander’s Art Studio

And even then, these bitches are the most recognized princesses:

Don’t they just look conniving? Beezies are prolly talking about how tiny your package is. Where’s the badass princesses? The down-ass chicks? I think Mulan and Pocahontas paid their princess dues, why aren’t they in the Exclusive Extra-Special Sparkly Pink Princess Club?

If Disney is going to say there’s a princess in every girl, they better come with it and sketch up an African princess to appease Angelina’s demands. And whaddayaknow, coming soon: The Princess and The Frog, the story of a 1920’s African princess set in New Orleans, featuring a singing crocodile, and Cajun charm. I guess Disney already blew it because from what I’ve heard there are alligators (not crocs) in Louisiana and Nola is not Cajun country. Whatever, chick better have a big ol’ butt!

Film Independent announced Tuesday the nominees for their 2008 Spirit Awards. Best Feature nods went to France’s The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, the Bob Dylan-inspired I’m Not There, A Mighty Heart starring Angelina Jolie, Gus Van Sant’s Paranoid Park and Juno, a comedy about an unplanned pregnancy penned by first-time screenwriter Diablo Cody. I’m keeping my fingers that the latter gets a fairly wide release (wide enough to come here to cow town) because the trailers look hilarious, and Ellen Page, nominated for Best Female Lead for her work in the title role, is a real talent. Juno is due out this “holiday season” according to its official Web site and also stars Superbad’s Michael Cera (also pretty darn awesome). Cody and director Jason Reitman also took home nods for Best First Screenplay and Best Director respectively. A full list of nominees can be found here. The awards will air on AMC and IFC on Feb. 23rd, 2008.
