Mary J. Blige's My Life

This is a journey into time. 1994 My Life hits the streets and although it is sample city, that was one of the baddest albums from Mary to date. What's the 411 is definitely number one, but My Life is still hot, even ten+ years later. My Two favorite songs from that album. My Life Be Happy Other Mary joints ...

Top Five at the Box Office

1. The Game Plan Buena Vista Pictures Distribution $16,262,000 Rock did it again. View Top Five at the Box Office for additional commentary 2. The Heartbreak Kid Released this week Paramount Pictures $14,031,000 I'm thinking they would have liked to be number one. Ben Stiller will still be okay though. 3. The Kingdom Universal Pictures Distribution $9,345,000 4. Resident Evil: Extinction Screen Gems, Sony Pictures Releasing $4,300,000 5. The Seeker: The Dark is Rising Released this week Unnamed Fox-Walden Joint Venture $3,725,000 6. Good Luck Chuck Lionsgate $3,500,000 I know what this is now. It is about a guy who women have sex with so they can find love and ... someone ... it's a girl ... Yes! Jessica Alba stars in it. 7. Feel the Noise Released this week Sony Pictures Releasing $3,400,000 The only reason I went down this far (to 7) is because this was a J-Lo productiono. I might be sounding like a broken record but things have just seemed off with her career ever sin...

Karrine "Superhead" Steffans: RME

I am going to be honest. This chick annoys the living crap out of me. I watched the interview and I just wanted to reach in, grab her, and shake her. I am a pretty straight up person, so all her bull^&%*! is making me RME whenever I hear her speak. She wants to talk about people being real when she is steady faking the funk her darn self. Don't all of a sudden pretend like you put this book out for altruistic reasons. Puhleeze. I would actually respect (well, maybe not really respect but I guess tolerate) her more if she said, "I am just trying to get paid. I had more dirt, so I wrote another book." But noooooo, she wants to act like she did it for the greater good of women or something. RME Whateva! Why then, Wanda, are you posting this interview. Well it's from http://www.aalbc.com/ and it is in the world of entertainment and it's drama. Besides, I get to rant on the heffa too. Anyway, here the heffa is with Troy from AALBC.com If it does not play, you can ...

Why Cavemen Won't Make It in the New Era

Image
There were quite a few people that were skeptical about the Geico Cavemen going from commercial to sitcom. I was not one of them. I thought, "Oh, this is going to be funny." Why not? The 30-second commercials were funny and if they kept to the same essence as the commercials, the show would have been funny. They did not. Instead, the show is about these four happy-go-lucky cavemen dudes that really could be anyone. They could be four regular guys living together trying to get girls. The only thing funny about the show was the land lady (human) and the guy in the furniture store who was afraid to demonstrate the futon for fear of getting pinched. Basically, the writers or creators or whomever seemed to have missed the mark. Instead of maintaining the same cynical, type of comedy produced in the commercials, they made it into this fun, feel good show. In addition, viewers rarely get to see the main character of the commercial. Bottom line, I watched it once. It will not happ...

News Roll Call

Vick, Falcons to argue over millions today Baltimore Sun, United States - The miseries that Michael Vick has brought upon himself seem to have no let-up and the latest development has the potential to strip Vick of millions of ... I hope he did not spend all that 20+ million dollars because he just may have to give it up. Somehow, I do not see how this can happen. Isn't that the whole point of a signing bonus. The team takes the risk that he may not play out the term of his contract? Unless the "morality clause" impacts the signing bonus, I don't see how they will get that money back. I could be wrong though. Marion Jones Admits to Steroid Use Washington Post, By Amy Shipley Track star Marion Jones has acknowledged using steroids as she prepared for the 2000 Summer Games in Sydney and plans to plead guilty ... Say it's not so. I so wanted to believe that she was on the straight and narrow. Now this. R. KELLY BEGINS US TOUR NEXT MONTH: J.... Eurweb .com, CA - 2 ...

Nicholas in a Rage

Nicholas Cassadine, the prince of the Cassadine Empire, has always been mild-mannered, well-spoken and self-controlling up until recently. The transformation in the anger boy 2 (I still miss Taggart) started with fits of temper at the most trivial things until it progressed to outright beating people up if they looked at him wrong. Honestly, Nicholas’ bout of rage is the best thing that has happened to General Hospital lately. In the last couple of weeks, I have looked forward to whom will get the brunt of Nicholas’ anger. Tyler Christopher is doing a fabulous job of exhibiting his rage while at the same time portraying that he does not know what is happening to him. The instances in which he tries to control himself are classic. So far Nicholas has gone off on Alexis a couple of times, got short with Emily on several occasions, attacked Jerry more each time he saw him, choked Logan Hayes and beat him nearly to a pulp on another occasion. I cannot forget to mention all the times he fle...

At the Altar of Sonny

Kate Howard comes to Port Charles to get away from the drama in the city. Instead of finding the peace and quiet she was looking for she found her long lost, high school sweetheart Sonny Corinthos. She should have taken head when his past women including his lawyer advised her to run as far away from him as possible. Of course, she did not. She stayed his neighbor and became intimately involved with him. Trevor Lansing, the reincarnation of Satan’s spawn, comes in to the picture, forcing her to choose between the two of them. Kate believing she was taking the high road refused to give in to Trevor’s not so subtle demands. Trevor decides that her refusal was decision enough, insisting that she chose Sonny over him. In reality, it is the most childish display of possessiveness from a grown (old at that) man; however, Trevor makes it worst. He decides that the only way to make Sonny pay is to hurt Kate. He drugs her, she gets busted for DUI, and then he gets her fired from Couture magazin...

Writing & Publishing Tip #3: Read. Please!

Writing & Publishing Tip #3: Read. Please! I am an avid reader and have been since I was eleven years old. Reading not only helped me discover my love of writing but it also helped me become a better student. The year I started reading I went from a C average to a B+ to eventually an A. Of course that all changed when I got to college but that’s a whole other post LOL. As writers, some people may not believe that it is important to read. Believe me, they are out there. That baffles my mind, really. How can a person expect others to pay for your writing if you are not willing to contribute to the industry by way of reading other artist yourself? Nevertheless, there are a number of reasons why, as writers, reading is beneficial and even a necessity. Here are just a few: Learn the art of writing by reading- When you read, you learn grammar and other writing skills by practical application. It is surprising how much the mind absorbs. Find your own voice- Reading different authors can a...

October Movies

We Own the Night (Wide)Joaquin Phoenix and Mark Wahlberg star as two brothers taking on the Russian mob to protect their father, the chief of police. If I were an actor, I would try to get in any movie that Joaquin Phoenix is in. The man has a talent for picking great movies, and he does a fabulous job in each role. Cuba Gooding Jr. should really try to get with him for some role selection tips. Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married? (Wide)Tyler Perry's new comedy about a group of couples who goaway every year to examine their marriages in a group setting. I love the potential drama that all these married people in one place. Tyler Perry is known for throwing in a crazy secret too. See Previous Post 30 Days of Night (Wide)Josh Hartnett fights off an evil force that strikes a northern Alaskan town, where the winter sun stays dark for 30 days and nights. When was the last time you saw a good vampire flick? This does look interesting. There is the chance that it will be hilarious...
