R. Kelly To Release Ten More Chapters of "Trapped In The Closet"

Because the world doesn't have enough problems, R. Kelly is gearing up to launch 10 more chapters of "Trapped in the Closet" on August 21st . For those of you unfamiliar with the series, it’s a rap soap opera about an absolute clusterfuck of cheating spouses, gay scandals and illegitimate pregnancies (you also can’t forget about pants-crapping midgets – ed.). The new installments will be released on DVD and available on the IFC website for streaming. Additionally, IFC will actually broadcast this mess on TV, probably because they really want their network to tank.

This quote from the Billboard should tell you everything you need to know about the sane nature of the new installments:

The new round of "Trapped" videos finds Kelly portraying an old man named Randolph, complete with a pot belly and a fake white beard that nearly falls off mid-scene, as well as a preacher in a gray Jheri-curl wig and garish orange suit. In one of the final chapters, Kelly's Sylvester character talks business with a "Sopranos"-esque mobster who is eating a giant plate of spaghetti.

I'm not going to enter into the details of the plot of the series so far, as I fear my head would explode from the shear force of inanity Kelly has unleashed, but I'd say it's worth watching. Make sure you have a drink in hand. You'll need it: the only way to fight the blinding stupidity of "Trapped in the Closet" is with an entire bottle of whiskey.
