I Want My DirtySexyMoney!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ABC had originally offered a press release that Pushing Daisies, Eli Stone & Dirty Sexy Money were canceled...horror of horrors! After watching William Baldwin on 'The Today Show' he has spread the news that ABC has decided not to cancel the show YET! They are giving it a chance to see if they can get back the audience they seemed to have lost. So if you are a fan (as I am!) Watch! Write ABC tell them how much you love the show! It's one of the few television series I am interested in these days... it's the Dynasty of the new Millennium. Just when it's starting to get really juicy we can't lose our show! Let's keep our fingers crossed. Don't give up yet kids!!!

Keanu: New Movie!

The absolutely delicious Keanu Reeves has a new movie. I haven't seen too much that makes me want to go to the movies lately...gotta love my Netflx! lol But I do enjoy watching whatever it is Mr. Reeves has to offer...well most of the time. He has remade a classic 'The Day The Earth Stood Still' . Many people love the original and hold it dear. Me... not so much. It's ok. So, I'm willing to give the oh so talented and oh so gorgeous Keanu's new re-telling a shot. Now if only I could have him appear under my tree this year!

It's Britney Bitch!

Let me first say I am either a fan of Britney or a hater. I was never into her music till the Blackout album. It was different from what I had ever heard from her, it had an edge. I can even say it was one of my favorite albums of that year. The only song of hers before that even got any of my attention was Toxic. I never thought she had great singles till that song... I think a lot of people agreed with me. Womanizer was only her second number one single. Oddly enough for someone that has sold as many albums as she, her singles never do as well. Well... it's nice to see her 'back' and seemingly in a better place now in her life.
I watched her 'comeback' performance on Good Morning America. And something was just a little off. She looked amazing, she seemed to be doing what she was supposed to do. But, she was not the Britney I used to see when ever she performed somewhere prior to her... shall we say difficult period. She was not dancing with her dancers throughout the numbers, she kind of went in and out of the routines. Reminded me of the 80s when Whitney did every 5th step. Say what you want about Ms Spears but she used to attack the dance floor like a Janet Jackson wannabe. Even when she later spoke with Diana Sawyer & crew there some kind of disconnect. It was as if she was there, yet she wasn't really there. This young woman has been through a hell of a lot in the last couple of years... maybe this is the new Britney that has made it through all that? Or perhaps this is just her getting her feet wet and she'll return to the Britney everyone remembers? I'm sure her die hard fans are just happy to have their girl back.
It's my fascination with Icons (which borders on fetish) that keeps this pop culture junkie's interest piqued. I wish Brit all the best. The Brits have to stick together lol!

performing new song Circus on GMA.....

Grace is causing a Hurricane

I was so nervous during my first listen of Grace Jones' new cd. I live, love and adore Miss Jones. But, lately the girls of her era have been not stepping up to the plate when it comes to new projects. So my expectations were askew. I didn't know what to expect. Well... much to my delight La Grace's new cd is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!
She far exceeded even my loftiest wishes. Girlfriend was not fucking around, she set out to make a true piece of art. You don't hear her trying to be something she not to get a hit song, just making good old solid music that will absolutely stand the test of time.
After hearing the first song released "Corporate Cannibal" I was afraid the whole album would sound like that...WRONG! While I did indeed like the song I didn't want a complete cd sounding like it. So many people these days are guilty of that.
Instead you get one of the most introspective varied albums shes ever done. She even does a ballad..something she hasn't really done since "I've Done It Again" from "Nightclubbing" Said song named "I'm Crying (Mother's Tears)" is one of the best on the album. As is "Williams' Blood"...what an amazing song this is. I can't stop listening to it. And then there's the fabulous "This Is' which starts with the lyric "This is my voice, my weapon of choice.."
Grace has proved that the girls of a certain age can still get in that studio and turn it the fuck out!
As a performer this woman gives me such inspiration. She has proven that talent is not something that fades. It cultivates with life experiences and gets richer and richer. This is by far the best album I have heard this year.
Thank You Miss Jones.

It's a new day...a beautiful day!

Barack Obama is the new President! It is difficult to express in words ones feelings being of color in America and having the privilege to experience this ground breaking event. It is something all Americans will surely never forget and tell their kids & grand kids about. But it is particularly a moment of reflection and redemption for people of color who perhaps never thought whey would witness this in their lifetime. This is one of those moments where you will always remember exactly where you were and what you were doing when it became official that Barack Obama had officially become our President. People were rejoicing in the streets here and abroad. A feeling of disbelief and utter euphoria rushed over me simultaneously. Right away I thought of Martin Luther King looking down somewhere and feeling as a sense of supreme accomplishment. I felt like finally his death TRULY was not in vain.
I can truthfully say America The Beautiful now and feel as though I mean it.
We are on our way.

Labelle: Back to Now

Patti Labelle reunites with Sarah Dash & Nona Hendrix. After 30 years. I was so eagerly awaiting this project. After going to see them at their signing at Splash in NYC and listening to the cd several times over I am left less than inspired. Patti is in good voice as usual and it was exciting to hear the girls harmonizing again. But! The cd is very lack luster. I think the problem lies in some of the choices in producers. Working with Wyclef Jean didn't produce anything exciting or memorable. The song "Roll Out" for instance sounds contrived and unworthy of the talents of these ladies. It seems working with him was an effort to be relevant or hip, neither was accomplished. Lenny Kravitz and his sensibilities seems to work much better with who they are. The selections with Kravitz are some of the best on the album.
It's a fairly decent cd that should have been a stellar comeback. As a fan of these ladies I'm glad to have it...but all this does is make me hope for another album where they really get it right.
