Bill Maher, Tim Tebow, and Jesus

I don’t watch football, but I have more or less been forced to know who Tim Tebow is because everyone is talking about him. Plus, you can’t really surf the Internet without seeing someone tebowing. Tebowing is the act of dropping to one knee and praying thusly named such after Tim Tebow. As the starting quarterback for the Denver Broncos, Tebow performs this gesture to thank God for his success during games. And tebowing has taken off like crazy, with videos and photos of people tebowing popping up all over the Internet. But, this week, Bill Maher came under fire … Continue reading →

Is Aerosmith Looking for New Lead Singer?

There are certain things that just shouldn’t happen. The Mona Lisa shouldn’t smile, the Leaning Tower of Pisa shouldn’t be straighten, and Aerosmith shouldn’t perform with any lead singer other than Steven Tyler, but the last one may be a distinct possibility. In case you missed it, after months of speculation that he was using drugs again, Tyler checked into rehab at the end of last year. He had injured his leg during a concert in Connecticut in June 2009 then he fell off the stage on August 2009. The band cancelled several dates after the fall, but returned for … Continue reading →

Naomi Campbell Arrested…Again

I just do not understand what is up with modeling beauty Naomi Campbell. She is gorgeous, rich, and famous, yet something must be setting off these anger outbursts. Her rap sheet is longer than even the most diehard gansta rapper: In 2000, she pleaded guilty to a 1998 assault on Georgina Galanis, her own assistant. This assault included throwing Galanis from a moving car! The whole thing was dropped when Campbell expressed remorse, paid Galanis an unknown amount of money, and agreed to go to anger management classes. Not having learned much from the classes, Naomi was slapped (oops) in … Continue reading →

The two married in June 2004 and now Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez have two new additions to their family – twins!

Their son quickly followed at 12:23, weighing in at six pounds. There were months of speculation as to whether Lopez was even pregnant. She finally confirmed it on November 8th, telling a Miami concert crowd. Her father spilled the beans about … Continue reading →

Queen Latifah to Join Jenny Craig

Posted on by

I love Queen Latifah. She’s a bold, proud, strong woman who makes no excuses for her plus sized body and has always been secure in her voluptuousness. Regardless of her size, you could always count on seeing this diva in drop dead gorgeous dresses that fit perfectly when she strolled down a red carpet. There were never any mu-mus for this lady. She’s got curves and she’s not afraid to show them off. Personally, I can’t think of a better role model for young girls today, regardless of their color or lack thereof. Latifah’s mama taught her what we should … Continue reading →

Beautiful Big Girls

She’s throwing down the gauntlet; challenging Hollywood to redefine what makes a woman beautiful. You have to love Queen Latifah’s brazen style of bucking the traditional Tinsel town trend. The cover girl recently let loose during an interview that asked stars to reveal their meaning of true beauty. “Beauty is not just a white girl. It’s so many different flavors and shades,” the 37-year-old rapper-actress told reporters. According to Latifah, in Hollywood the meter for beauty “has been a slim white girl.” But, the actress says it appears the tide may be changing-—a little. “(In Hollywood) we’ve definitely gotten better … Continue reading →

The Wonderful World of Live TV

Did you watch “Real Time with Bill Maher” last night? If you did then you were given a glimpse of what can happen when you shoot a TV show in front of a live audience. For those of you who missed it, political commentator Bill Maher revealed to audience members last night that he could possibly have a second career as a security guard. The comedian pulled double duty when a rowdy protester infiltrated his studio during his weekly HBO show while cameras were rolling. The comedian was in the middle of a weekly panel discussion when someone from the … Continue reading →
