We told you about the time and place of the deposition that took place Sunday (we were apparently a day off), but while Colin Farrell and Nicole Narain may have reached a settlement between themselves, the lawsuits and the videotaping hasn't ended.
Farrell, Narain and their lawyers spent almost five hours on Easter Sunday in New York wrangling with an arbitrator over the agreement.The two hadn't seen each other face to face since word leaked last year that representatives for Narain were peddling an explicit video from the couple's romp.
Matthews insists that there was "no tension" between the former couple. But we hear that they sat on opposite ends of the negotiating table - and in separate rooms - and that Farrell showed little affection for the woman who, so far, has cost him an estimated $500,000 in legal fees.
It looks like Colin Farrell is going forward with his suit against ICG, he has worries that the taped deposition could see the light of day. It would be potentially embarrassing for the actor to have footage talking about his sex life be released. Sources say Farrell finally agreed to be taped after ICG agreed not to release the video. But some believe ICG execs may still ask a judge to make the tape public and might bring suit against Narain for allegedly breaching her contract by settling with Farrell.
Look for more fun when the case heads to court July 21st.
Colin and ex-Playmate settle tale of the sex tape [Rush & Molloy]
































tia
I really do think that Nicole is pretty. She may be a million dollar hoe, but she is pretty. I also looovvveee the fact that Collin dates black girls. You go Collin !!! Like Pdiddy says black people got more flava !!! :-)
melissa says:
When is the rumored sex tape of Colin Farrell and Cory Bernstein in Miami going to be leaked or released? The picture of them kissing on the other gossip site is pretty sexy!
Rumor says:
Tia, I also like that about Colin. He'll date a black girl, then a white girl, then a Spanish girl, then another black girl, then another white girl, etc. He doesn't get stuck on any one race. It's the uniqueness of each woman. Good for him. By freeing his mind, he'll have more opportunities than most people ever will. Some other male stars have "tried it" once or twice, but after that, you never see them date outside of their race again. Colin seems not to care, and I believe women dig this guy. He just needs to clean it up a bit before his career takes a complete nosedive. Angelina Jolie played around with him a bit. I'm sure she was attracted to him because he's masculine. She was probably feeling him out to see where he was heading in life, but alas, he's a playboy, most likely destined to remain single for many years to come.
patty says:
Yeah I dig all the Colin, Nicole, Cory, Elaine Lancaster sex stuff, and he doesnt discriminate. Hes such a hot,horney beast!
Maddyboy says:
So are we or are we not going to see him doing to nasty?
Geez!
Che says:
The vidoe has been available online for months now! It may not be legal, but still it's online.
Rumor says:
Seriously? Cory "The Model" Bernstein? I'd have to see it to believe it. Is this one-on-one or is it the two men with a group of women? Cory may swing both ways.
I'll never say never. When it comes to sexual "romps" anything is possible, but I know Colin loves females.
Cute Black Chick says:
yes, I like a sexy Irish lad with a bad boy way that likes a cute black chick. I am a cute black chick and I would date this Irish sex bomb any day. Yeah, other stars keep their interracial dating in the closet. But guys like Colin and Brad Pitt and Robert Deniro don't care. They are open. That is cool.
But he needs to find a nice girl though. This girl is hot but does not seem like the kind of woman he needs in his life.
Rumor says:
To be honest, Colin is dating exactly the kind of women he wants to date. He wants hot sex. He'll find a nice girl when and if he's ready to settle down. He lets women know that he enjoys his free and single life.
As for Brad Pitt, others on this site have talked about him dating Robin Givens and Tandy Newton, but to me, Brad was just "trying it." I have been reading mags for years, and none of those relationships were well publicized like his relationships with Caucasian women. I didn't even know about Tandy until I came to The Socialite.
George Clooney lived with a black girl for over a year. She was an attractive actress on a TV show. It was completely hushed up. And when people talk about Clooney's past loves, they never mention her. It's almost like she never existed.
Robert Deniro doesn't just date black women, he prefers black women. His first and present wife are black, and they are the mothers of his children. Much respect. He's real.
I don't think Colin is playing race games. I think he is probably color blind. He meets a sexy woman of any race that he wants, and he doesn't hesitate or care what other people think about it. That's a good way to be.
Ghetto Bitch says:
I love that Colin is color blind, but NN is greedy skank! Not to mention a hot-ass mess! She probably won't be able to do nothing but pay legal fees with her settlement. Thank God she can't make any money off the tape as it's floating all over the net right now.
Cute Black Chick says:
Rumor: Brad was not as famous when he was dating Thandie Newton and Robin Givens - that's why you don't hear much about it.
But Brad Pitt has a black daughter - I think he clearly has great respect for black women for he will be raising one for the rest of his life.
George Clooney, now I saw pictures of this chick but who is she? I always thought it was Beverly Johnson the model, but maybe I am wrong. Again, he was not as famous either. Anybody know her name?
Now, if the argument is that once they become famous they don't date black women then I don't know. I think both Brad and George have politically taken much more radical stances than dating a black woman so if they had fallen in love with a black woman, I think they would have no problem publicizing it.
It's interesting that when White men date Asian women they are very open about it and the media does not make a big deal:
John Lennon, Nicolas Cage, Woody Harrelson, Oliver Stone, etc.
Why is that? Why do you think White men with Asian women is more acceptable for the public than White men and Black women.
I date a lot of White guys and I get a lot of hostility and stares but my Asian girlfriends who date White guys don't. Why is that?
Robert Deniro hit on one of my girlfriends a few years ago. He loves Black women and has only dated exclusively Black women. And did it at a time when it was not that cool - the 70's.
I can't think of any other men...I guess David Bowie and Iman but David always does what he wants.
Ghetto Bitch says:
You know why Cute Black Girl, it's cuz Asian women are seen as subservient and sistas are seen as the exact opposite.
Cute Black Chick says:
Ghetto Bitch: No I think it is because the history is not the same. The whole slavery and master thing is hard to forget maybe? And remember Asians were not subject to Jim Crow laws, etc. So it is not seens as much of a threat? Same thing with Latinas - no one looks twice at White guys and Latinas (J-Lo and Ben Affleck). Now imagine Ben Affleck and oh let's say Mary J. Blige. People would make a big deal.
However if it is Halle and a White guy - nobody seems to care.
Also, I think since Asian skin is lighter, maybe it is not as shocking?
I have no idea but I can't stand all the looks I get sometimes.
Ghetto Bitch says:
You're right and also the over-sexualized myth of a Black woman contributes to it(thanks Nicole). We're for fucking, not marrying.
Rumor says:
I learned a long time ago that black people are discriminated against more than any other race. People try to pretend it's not so, but it is. It has always been that way. We are all the same under the skin, but blacks are seen as very different. Their skin color, hair texture, and physical features (face and body) are sometimes feared. Being honest, people think that "mixing" with the black race means you are completely changing to another race, especially when having children. Asians and Hispanics are different from whites, but aren't feared as much, because they basically still have similar features to whites and their hair is actually desired. I think that if Asians and Hispanics are strongly rooted in their culture, it causes fear, but generally Asians, Hispanics and other races can be accepted almost as white. So whites date and marry them, have children, and no one bats an eye.
When I was around 7 or 8, a cute black girl came to our predominantly (about 98%) white school. The most popular girl was a cute white girl named Terry. I remember Terry being surrounded by the rest of us little girls on the playground. She was upset about something and kept trying to get away, but everyone was following her. It probably looked like a flock of birds flying together in the air, darting here and there. We all didn't know what was wrong with her. Terry's best friend kept saying, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" She was in a fit, pacing!" Finally, she stopped, turned, and said she said she didn't want to play with the black girl. We were speechless, trying to figure out why she didn't like the black girl (at that age, we didn't know immediately). Get this: the white girl's best friend was a Mexican girl with dark skin. They were always together. Looking back, I know that little white girl was already a racist. But interesting how she could be so close to the Mexican girl but not the black girl. True story.
That is one of many stories that I remember like yesterday. My black friends and I talk, seriously and honestly. Times are changing, but slowly. Most black women I know don't even think about dating white men - ever! Many tell me they are uncomfortable with other races because of their differences and our history. And most importantly, they don't want a man of another race to disrespect them. They don't trust white men and believe they are just using them for sex, etc. One friend told me that historically, black women are not desired, so she is automatically suspicious why a white man would want to date her when the media and fashion magazines push Caucasian women as the standard of beauty. Other friends do not want to deal with the problems of the families not accepting their interracial relationships. They say it is too much trouble. For these reasons, I think that most black women still want to date and marry black men.
If more celebrities start venturing out, others will follow. That's why I'm glad Colin does it. I hope his bad experience with Narain doesn't make him stop.
I love David Bowie and Iman. He's as white as a ghost, and she is as dark as the night. They're a striking couple. No one can say they don't look great together.
About Brad Pitt. Didn't he date those black women after Thelma & Louise? If so, he was famous enough. After that movie, he was hot. Where are the photos? I didn't see him making public appearances or going on any red carpets with Givens or Newton. I still think Hollywood hushed his romances.
George Clooney was already famous. The girl was named Kimberly-something of "Saved by the Bell." At the time, I saw an article in (I think) People Magazine. There was a good-sized photo, and George said they lived together. After that article, nothing more. I would think that a woman living with Clooney for over a year would be considered a serious romance.
It's getting harder and harder for singles to find quality people to date these days. If you think about it, it's sad (but understandable considering the obstacles) that some people will grow old without experiencing romantic love because they didn't free their minds and expand their opportunities.
Rumor says:
Sorry, I went to another site to check myself.
George Clooney's girlfriend was Kimberly Russell of "Head of the Class." Interesting that Brad Pitt dated Robin Givens, who was also on that show. Hmm...
Ghetto Bitch says:
Interesting points, Rumor. I agree with a lot of it. Although, have you noticed that if some White men do date Black women, they have at least one European characteristic, e.i., light skin, small nose/lips, or long hair. There aren't many out there who would date a Black woman with "traditional" African features.
Cute Black Chick says:
Rumor: Thanks for the info. Kimberly Russell!!! OMG! She was alright but not gorgeous. Also, she was definitely mixed - I think.
Which answers Ghetto Bitch question - yes I find some White men prefer a light skinned black chick. However, I have to say most are ok dating dark sisters. I am brown myself - somewhere in the middle.
Now black men, I find like light skin a lot. Look at all the NBA players, rap stars, and black movie stars - even politicians who are black - date a woman who is lighter.
My dad is very dark and my mom light just like so many black parents I know. I think it is a status thing.
Some white men have the dark sister fetish and some have the light skin sister fetish. The Europeans I dated tend to like them darker where American white boys just want Halle Berry.
Halle is fine but where are our dark actresses besides Gabrielle Union? Zero...
Cute Black Chick says:
Rumor: I missed your long post - sorry.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I am assuming you are White? If so, thanks for the insight.
I remember playing with a little girl when I was young and she was from Central America and I was told to leave her house because her grandmother did not like Black people. I was like 7 years old! What threat could a 7 year old pose? What is interesting about this is that I bet this Central American family was used to being discriminated against by White people yet they do the same.
Same thing with my Asian girlfriends. When I went to their house in High School, their parents did not like me yet they accepted the White friends.
I have also been discriminated against by Black men. I am a pretty black girl with brown skin. But I am not good enough for some black men. They always want a black girl who is lighter. Even the lighter girls have to compete - if you are light with wavy hair well there will be a more desirable light skin girl with wavy hair and green eyes and so on and so on. It never stops.
I am attracted to all kinds of men: white, black etc. I have no problem meeting them now but I do find a lot of the white guys want me sexually and that's it.
I really believe it goes back to slavery. The history of slavery is an ugly and harsh one. No one wants to be associated with a race of people that were "owned". plus somehow, we have been associated with what is primitive in the world: Africa, lions, beasts, poverty, the beginning of man (meaning cavemen) etc. We are so closely associated to these screwed up ideas that we are seen as undesirable.
We have mixed with other races over time and have created such races as the Latino race - along with Native Americans. Yet now, Latino is seen as more desirable because it is closer to White physically. Asian has more physical features that are closer to white : light skin/straight hair - two very "important" features that are used to determing race (hair and skin color)./ I mean what is the difference between me and a girl from India? The hair, that's it. Yet that difference is huge.
That is why a White man is more comfortable dating Asian and Latino than black - it is easier to blend in for them.
Sorry, long post.
I still can't get over Kimberly Russell and Clooney!
Ghetto Bitch says:
Good point, cute black girl. I had a friend in grade school like 3rd grade and looking back she was kinda white trashy, I could tell by the way she dressed and spoke. Well once on the playground we got into a little tiff as kids do, and it started off playful. You know kid stuff, calling each other poopoohead and the like and then she called me a nigger. I didn't say anything, I didn't know what to say, I knew what she said she said cuz I was black and I knew it was bad, but in the 3rd grade I didn't understand why. It makes me sad to think about it cuz for that to be one of the first things to come out of an 8-year-old mouth when she sees a black person meant that she heard quite often in her home.
I've never noticed that difference b/t White European and White American men, the more I think about the more it's true.
I get the light-skinned sista is a status thing for dark brothers thing too. I'm not the most beautiful girl in the world, but I think I'm cute. I can tell with some dark brothas that a big part of my attractiveness is being light. Other than that, I don't have any European characteristics. I've got a broad nose and full lips and naturally kinky hair.
I feel you on the Indian thing too. I worked with some Indians in college and I couldn't believe how dark they were. A lot of them quite a bit darker than myself, you're the only difference is hair texture.
Rumor says:
Cute Black Chick it's so unfortunate that we still have people like that in this world, even people who claim to love God and who call themselves Christians. It's true that a lot of Latinos and Asians are prejudiced too. I've seen it. And get in a group consisting of white, older ladies. You'll hear some things.
Everybody wants to be better than somebody. That's where all that junk comes from. If people were really good and loved themselves, they wouldn't feel the need to put someone else down.
The older I am getting, the more I see how important it is to be real and honest. People play too many silly games, and life is too short. When it comes to relationships, all people should really take the time to get to know each other. I think it's especially important in interracial relationships to spend a lot of time with your date in different situations to see how he/she reacts. If a white man is not respecting a black woman and is dating her just to fulfill some kind of sexual fantasy, it will come out sooner or later.
Another thing to think about though... some people ARE attracted to the typical black features.
While growing up, I had a neighbor/friend whose relatives (maternal and paternal) were all prejudiced. Ugh! The maternal grandma was an evil old lady of mixed race (white/Mexican). She was the worst one! Anyhow, for some reason very early on this girl was attracted to black boys, but when she was young, she had to hide it from her family. She was attractive, but had very small lips. Well, whenever she saw a black man with full lips, she couldn't contain her joy. I remember she saw a poster of Levar Burton when he did "Roots." In that shot, his lips were really full. She said he had sexy lips.
Some people would label it a sexual thing, but at around 16, she met a black man (with full lips) and fell totally, head-over-heels in love. He's probably not what most black women would even call slightly good-looking, but her attraction to him was immediate and powerful. She was from a white, somewhat upper middle-class family, he was from the projects back east. She went against her family and relatives. It was something. They were all in an uproar. The grandma bawled her out, and her family moved to a more exclusive beach area, but no way was she letting this guy go. Their relationship went on for like 9 yrs before they finally married and had three beautiful, great kids. Most of her family ended up accepting him because she wasn't going to back down. She once told me that when it came to him, she "just knew." They are one of those couples that I believe was meant to be because it is many years later and they still have an attraction for each other, but it's deepened with love and friendship too.
Actress Alfre Woodard (Desperate Housewives)has been married to an Englishman for something like 20 years. She's Afrocentric. She doesn't have fair skin or fine features, but her husband adores her.
I also think that Ruth Pointer (oldest sister of The Pointer Sisters) is still married to a younger, good-looking (when I saw him) white man. They've had to be together at least 15 years now, and Ruth seems very happily married. She's probably 60 and takes care of herself and looks great.
There are hurdles to overcome, but people should still take chances at love. Many times, relationships start with physical attraction (which is a really nice perk), but the souls connect and this, in turn, ends up sustaining the union.
Lastly, I want to say that I read that George Clooney treated Kimberly Russell poorly when they broke up. I wish I could fully remember the story, but he did something totally mean, and I've never looked at him the same way since. I hope he's changed, but I just thought he was a real heel!
Cute Black Chick says:
The question is what will it take to change things?
So funny, we are having such an interesting debate on race in a Nicole Narain/Colin Farrell thread? Who woulda thought LOL LOL.
How do we change people's attitude about race and image? I think White girls get it too? They have to look like Barbie or Jessica Simpson to be beautiful - where does this come from? I have women of all shades in my family - light to jet black and they are all beautiful yet the rest of the world does not see them as beautiful.
I think we have to change the language we use around kids - words that refer to hair texture, skin color, etc, especially little girls - we have to use more empowering words around them.
I know it took years for me to like my hair and now I love it! Now men love my hair. It's weird. Is it a fetish thing? Fetishizing is not any better than ridiculing either - I think.
Last, I have no problem dating. Pretty full life in that regard but I never think these men will marry me. I am just not a "prize" enough for them - black or white. I am not the hot white girl and not the video ho black girl. So where do you fit in you know? And now in my early 30's - it's getting harder and harder. Sometimes I think it is harder for Black women to date.
Rumor says:
I guess I am up way past my bedtime, but I have to agree with you one more time, Cute Black Chick. I think dating is harder for black women because of what I said about white women being looked at as the ideal. They have a bigger pool of men to choose from because other races of men will more readily pursue, date, and marry them, though most Asian men (especially Vietnamese, Japanese) still do not marry outside their race very often. By the way, a Korean girlfriend told me it's because American women are too tall for them - ha!
Seriously, if a white woman continually has bad luck with white men, she will usually start looking at other races of men rather than stay alone. And there are plenty of Spanish men and black men who are ready and willing.
A lot of the men nowadays are not good marriage material. It's really sad. I think dating a lot will increase a woman's odds, and women have to widen their pool but also be selective. Some men are ahead of the game. Men with family-oriented backgrounds will most likely want to get married.
Let me tell you, I know a white woman who is what a lot of men would call nuts. She's loud and has a deep southern drawl that most men would and did run from. She would cry to my mom, she wanted love so badly. She finally broadened her scope and dated a black man, hoping for something, and he took off too. She depressed for years about never finding anyone, questioning her beauty, etc. but guess what? She finally did meet a nice white man. He loves her the way she is. He's special for her, and I believe that there is someone for everyone.
The thing to remember is that most people will marry at least once in their lifetime. I know people who haven't, but it's usually because they never wanted to. So, the odds are that you will get married one day, Cute Black Chick.
Cute Black Chick says:
Aww, Rumor thanks. It was nice meeting you via Colin/Nicole thread. I'll keep believing then. Thanks for understanding "our" plight.
I mean I have done everything else, gotten the education, blah blah blah. I don't have the income yet and I wonder sometimes if that is an issue. Seems women with money get hitched faster too.
Maybe I am using too many excuses - that could be it too. Maybe it has nothing to do with me just to do with destiny.
Either way, the marriage thing has not come so I will wait for God to intervene I guess. I agree the playing field is wider for non-Black women. My White and Asian girlfriends date a lot more than I do - and a lot are married and have done so much quicker than my Black girlfriends.
Good luck to you too. Good things come to those who wait and believe :)
