R. Kelly: Trapped, Chapter 15

Email this article Print this article Send us a tip

By a twist of fate, Twan faces the women who put him in prison. Highlights and lowlights.

Chapter 15 of R. Kelly's super-drama "Trapped in the Closet" debuted today, and the inevitable ensued: In this installment, Twan storms into the diner and confronts Tina and Roxane, the snitching chicks who landed him in lockdown - but if there's one thing we can count on in this sordid tale, nothing is ever what it seems. THE PLOT CONTINUES TO TWIST! When he first dropped "Trapped," folks were inclined to think Kells had lost his mind - and by Chapter 12, after a carnival procession of midgets, guns and lovers, it seemed our man was possibly one step away from curling up into a ball on a recliner, twitching and talking to himself for the rest of his days. But as we ease into the second half of his soap operetta, don't you think he knows exactly what he's doing? His smirk in the IFC intros is a dead giveaway. And the geeky host in the Silicon Valley blazer can't deal. CHAPTER 15, HIGH/LOWLIGHTS: * WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT AFTER ALL
Twan calls Roxane and Tina "Laverne & Shirley": just a couple of chicks in a beer-bottling factory. Double up? * THE SHOCKING LACK OF TAE BO
We were waiting for the ladies to do their thing. Unless they get to kicking by the next chapter, this oversight will go down as Chapter 14's great false promise. * TWAN ON HIS NICOLE RITCHIE SWAGGER
Today's morality tale: Put down the Olde English before you put the key in the ignition. * SYLVESTER
R. Kelly, as Sylvester, may be a better actor than all the rap-ctors combined, Cube included (shhh, don't tell Samuel L. Jackson). The final shot of him choking on his cigar may deserve some kind of award. Check back tomorrow for news from tonight's R. Kelly-hosted premiere of "Trapped" in NYC.
