Media Watch: 100 Days of Coverage

Mediamatters.org compiled its “Worst Media Moments” of President Obama’s first 100 days.  Of course, most of it’s from Fox “News.” Below: Yesterday, the mainstream media had a field day providing special coverage of President Obama’s first 100 days in office. In the 24 hour cable news cycle, filler (and a bit of foolishness) is going to [...]

The First 100 Days: What Do YOU Think?

During President Obama’s first 100 days, there are some actions of his I really liked, such as his trip around the world to start a change of America’s image abroad. I also like that he’s trying to push health care at the beginning of his term, and that he put education in the stimulus package. [...]

It’s Finally Here! “Pretty Wings”

I’ve been waiting forever to hear a full version of “Pretty Wings” from Maxwell and see the music video. Today, he premiered the video on 106 & Park. And, I loves it. It’s so simplistic, yet fits the song so well. The imagery of the women rising from the beds at the end is just [...]

Throwback: In a ‘90s Kind of World, I’m Glad I Got My Girls!

During an icebreaker at work one evening, co-workers had to guess each others’ favorite show. I felt some type of way that they guessed I love Living Single. Not because I don’t, but because I wondered, do I just look like someone who likes that show? I felt the same way when someone I didn’t [...]

Keepin’ It Random

Swine Flu: On Monday, a CNN headline read: “OK, Can We Panic Now?” Ummm, should you really be trying to cause panic CNN? I have to give the network a Stephen Colbert-style Wag of the Finger for this. Remember the Bird Flu and SARS? Not that this situation couldn’t become a serious worldwide pandemic, but [...]

Who Saw This Obsession Coming?

When I first saw previews for Obsessed, I thought, who’s going to pay their hard-earned recession dollars to see this crappy movie? It looked like a straight to DVD, early dollar movie film for sure. And who isn’t tired of Beyonce’s attempts to act? I was considering writing a “You’re Too Good for This” post [...]

Remembering Bea Arthur and The Girls

I have a soft spot for female ensemble TV shows. (Except Sex and the City. Didn’t have HBO and even when TBS eventually picked it up, I never got into it). The passing of another one of my beloved Golden Girls (Bea Arthur) on April 25 made me reminisce on how much I love the [...]

How Can Someone Be So Heartless?

There are so many horrible crime stories in the news that it’s easy to become desensitized sometimes. But a recent story about an Atlanta woman who killed an entire family in a hit and run – and then tried to cover it up – is shocking.    The Michael family seemed like the type of [...]

Recap: Making the Band Finale

Making the Band is usually one of those shows that I catch in passing when nothing else is on. But this season has been pure foolery, which has created some pretty entertaining moments. While waiting to record their second album, Day 26 members sat around and fought, and cried – and cried some more. Most [...]
