Samuel Jackson Lays into News Anchor

Samuel Jackson goes off on anchor for mistakingly calling him Lawrence Fishbourne, of course TMZ plastered all over their popular site which cause the reporter to call into their show and give them a word or two:

Inside Edition releases never before seen video coverage of President (then Senator) Barack Obama meeting his brother for the first time in almost 20 years.

The 33-second clip, released Tuesday by “Inside Edition,” shows Mark Obama Ndesandjo, who is the President’s younger half-brother, awkwardly reuniting with then-candidate Obama on a night during the 2008 presidential race. Ndesandjo, who shares a father with Obama, is seen waiting in a room when the President enters.


“How are you? Good to see you,” Obama says as he embraces his sibling, slapping him on the back six times. “How you been, man?”


The reunion, which appeared to take Obama by surprise, happened just before the then-senator was set to debate Hillary Clinton in a Democratic primary debate.

A Message from Tyler Perry: Beware of Scam Artist Using My Name

Tyler Perry puts fan base on Notice about scam artist using his name. You go Tyler and thanks for looking out!

"Hey guys,
People who do this are some of the lowest in my book.


"There are some scams going around the Internet asking people to pay money to have an audition for me. THAT IS NOT TRUE. You never have to pay for an audition. I, nor any professional company, will make you pay for an audition. DON’T GET SCAMMED.

Also, I DO NOT HAVE A SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM. Do not let anyone tell you that I have a scholarship program that you have to pay to be a part of, ok? That’s NOT TRUE! I have put a lot of kids through college but it’s not something you can request or pay me for. They have been gifts, so don’t let these folks trick you.

Do not give anyone any money in my name. This is all a SCAM. I HOPE THESE PEOPLE GET CAUGHT."

Kandi Burruss Mama still ragging on Todd

Real Housewives of Atlanta's Kandi Burruss' mom, Joyce, has made it clear that she doesn't want her daughter to marry fiancé Todd Tucker. And in the new issue of In Touch, on newsstands now, she makes another dig at the production manager, saying he's more in love with himself than her daughter!

“Kandi’s on one page, and Todd is on his page,” Joyce tells In Touch, noting that her daughter had originally wanted a Valentine’s Day ceremony. “Kandi is in love — and Todd is in love with Todd. He could love Kandi, but he loves Todd more.”

Kandi’s Mother Thinks Her Daughter’s Fiancé Todd Is a Cheater!

Kandi has been in full wedding-planning mode on the Bravo show, so it must have come as a shock when Todd recently told Watch What Happens Live host Andy Cohen, “We’re taking it day-by-day,” when asked on Jan. 19 about the nuptials.

India Arie puts the Grammy's on Blast

The Grammy's is getting a lot of heat this year with complaints ranging from the Mass Wedding Ceremony officiated by Queen Latifah to throwing shade on Gospel Musicians by not only failing to acknowledge the winners of this categories but also not allowing gospel artist to sing.

Well it appears tht India Arie, who was completely shut out of the Grammy's 2002 has had ENOUGH noting on her blog:




@Kendricklamar WAS robbed, BUT he was not the only one who was robbed. Personally, I was pleased he was able to perform and they KILLED! IT! One of the FEW moving moments of the night for ME.


Though it’s called “Music industries biggest night” the #Grammys are NOT about the music, it’s a popularity contest. The voting process allows people, to vote on name recognition alone – the music industry politics is a whole NUTHER conversation. Too much to go into here.


The American Music Awards is a show that awards sales and popularity – the #Grammys are SAID to be about the music.


If the hip hop community voted on hip hop – r&b COMMUNITY the same – same for each category – we’d see winners that reflect the MUSIC ITSELF. We all know that’s just not the way it goes.


NOW the BIGGER losers, are ALL of black music. Where was the black music community represented in last nights #Grammy show? Performers and Winners (or not) … Where were the black artists?


And this isn’t the first time the #Grammy’s has had a show all but excluding young black America and black artists in general, although we set the worlds musical trends. Why NOT televise the lifetime achievement awards of the Isley Brothers? SURELY they deserved to be on televised stage LAST NIGHT! While other artists were on stage TWICE?


The truth is in a perfect world diversity would matter, and respect would be rampant, but the TRUTH is, The #Grammys is a television show, and in THAT world ratings reign supreme. So, in general, bigger names take the stage, and sadly the biggest names often times ARE BIGGER drawn along racial lines from the release of an album. i.e. marketing dollars, and just general support. It’s unfortunate.


I don’t even get surprised any more, but, it still hits my sense of fairness, because I KNOW many of the artists who are overlooked. I LIVE in that world. We keep showing up and subjecting ourselves to the game, hoping MAYBE we’ll win. I was so HAPPY to see @Kendricklamar take that stage – because it is a FORM of winning, at LEAST, he was SEEN.


Speaking of diversity, congratulations to my PERSONAL favorite albums of the year – @I_GregoryPorter #LiquidSpirit @Realsnarkypuppy and @lalahhathaway on your win and THANK YOU! @pharrell for acting RIGHT in the presence of the greatness that is @Nilerodgers and #StevieWonder



Love to all #SoulBirdsWorldWide

P.S. No mention of Nelson Mandela at ALL? … and THIS is why we NEED the Image Awards AND the BET awards.
