Study: Pretty Women get Madder

If you're cute then you may get kind of demonic when upset, according to University of California researchers.
Women who described themselves as pretty were more mean-spirited when it came to attacks, according to the study. They got angry more easily. Attractive women also had higher expectations that others, according to the study.
Is this really a news flash to men? I don't think so, but to some it may be, seeing how some men have simply given up going for the trophy and are content with the normal chicks and even less than normal chicks (hey, that's a good thing).
All the drama, the catfighting , the conflict, etc. can be traced to the superiority complex that these "good-looking' women supposedly have.
While that's good news for the "regular" chicks out there, some people may argue that the really "attractive" women weren't all that regular to begin with.

Maxwell Finally Explains His Long Absence From Music

In case you missed it, Maxwell was featured in Sunday's New York Times. The crooner said the last set in the trilogy that is Black Summer's Night is so hot “like you might have to include condoms in it.”

He also finally explained his long absence from music when he said:
“When we all [him, D'angelo, etc.] came out,” Maxwell said, “it was just too much adulation, the accolades: the next this, the next that.” He felt confusion, he said, about “which part of you is that extension of the music and which part of you is that real person. I think my stepping away was my own sort of weird therapy for that.”
On the state of music today he said: “It’s made to have no peaks, no valleys. And we wanted [with this album], like, landscape. I wanted the music to sound like, ‘Oh my god, I’m looking at a vista, like I see a mountain over here, and water, and some clouds.’"

Will You Buy His Album?

In 1996, this man could do no wrong: cast within a trilogy (he, D'angelo and to a lesser extent Erykah Badu) of earthy-sounding new music (they dubbed it 'Neosoul,' despite the artists' frustrations with the term), the future of the music world seemed so bright.
Then, as quickly as it started, the lights began to flicker. Maxwell's two subsequent releases got lukewarm responses at best. Badu's eccentric ways got her labeled as "quirky" ("I'm an artist," was her only defense.)

And D'angelo? Drugs, not unlike Marvin and Donnie before him, did the Prince idol in.
Years have passed and now Maxwell is set to re-emerge this summer with his first album in nearly a decade. I don't usually do this ... but peep the first single here.
