Today’s videos come from a live concert featuring some of Teddy P’s numerous hits as a solo artist and as lead singer for Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes. RIP to another music legend that certainly made up part of the soundtrack to our lives, before and after. I know some of us 70’s babies are probably here because [...]

The Twitterati/Internet/blogsphere’s been buzzing for the past few weeks over the news that Tavis Smiley’s SmileyBooks is set to publish R. Kelly’s memoirs next year. By my estimation, the reaction is on point. So much so, that I scrapped plans to blog in-depth about it because others have made my points, like:
What About Our Daughters
Womanist Musings

Babs just announced First Lady Michelle Obama as the most fascinating person of 2009. Of course, the list includes Glenn Beck and Kate Gosselin, but I agree 100%. Some folks say the First Lady’s gone from an Ivy-League educated lawyer to the First Lady of Fashion - arm candy that should take on more issues - but I wholeheartedly disagree. [...]

I should be writing and editing at the moment, but I distract myself very, very easily. I can be knee deep in something, grinding away, and random things will just pop into my head and cause me to go on a wild Google search.
Like this Geico commercial. You’ve probably seen it a million times, but I [...]

The Salahis. Can they just go away? First, if you’re going to party crash – at the White House of all places – to get in your 15 minutes, please have your affairs in order. Clock, please tick down on these people.

A week ago, I was on a Michael Jackson high, and I posted an MJ video from his Off The Wall days. The news of his death today caught me off guard, and despite his legal troubles – and the media’s dubbing of the title “Wacko Jacko” - he will always be an icon for those of [...]

Last week, The CW announced its fall schedule, which essentially features an updated rehash of the 90’s hits 90210 and Melose Place, and a slate of shows featuring models, vampires, and angst-ridden 20-somethings. Officially gone are the long-rumored-to-be-canceled Everybody Hates Chris and The Game.
The CW’s official reason for The Game’s cancellation is its decision to eliminate half-hour shows. Mara Brock-Akil, who created [...]

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms!
Today’s video is an easy one, but I had to play The Intruders for my mom, who continues to be my best friend, my spiritual guide, my voice of reason, my cheerleader and the one who’s not afraid to check me when I need it.
Side note: I feel a Gamble [...]
