By jbrooker OJ Simpson has been sentenced to up to 15 years in prison; he will be eligible for parole in 6 years.  As far as I’m concerned that is a travesty; it’s far too much time.  I’ve known all of my life that the so-called justice system in America is quite biased; you’d have to be brain dead not to know th...

By jbrooker Also, did you catch Beyoncé’s recent appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show?  Well, if you didn’t you missed a wonderful interview and performance.  Ms. B. always looks beautiful, but she was simply stunning on the show.  Her skin is amazing!  She performed If I Were A Boy and she performed it we...

By jbrooker Mr. Calloway’s artwork is being exhibited this October in Baltimore, Maryland at American Visionary Art Museum.  I’m no expert in “real” art but I plan to check it out simply because Mr. Calloway is 112 years old and still alive and creating. 

By Shelia Double Platinum “Double Platinum moves at break neck speed and is a thoroughly enjoyable read. If you’re looking for a novel that successfully combines glamour, suspense and intrigue with a highly charged love affair then this is the novel for you.” ~ Janice Spence, Freelance Music Journ...

By Shelia Dondria’s CD – Dondria vs. Phatffatt - drops July 29 but if you can’t wait until then to hear her beautiful voice, go to YouTube, put Dondria in the search line and take a listen.  But still buy the CD when it drops.  J Introducing Dondria By JoJo I attended a press conference for Jermaine Dupri’s...

By jbrooker Just a tidbit.  I used to be a BIG Wendy Williams fan - a true “Wendyneista”.  But those days are over.  I just want to ask – why is she still on the air?  Can somebody please tell me.  And she now has a talk show on Fox!  I ain’t mad at her for making that money.

By jbrooker My girl Britney is looking better every day!  It looks like her dad is doing a great job getting her on the road to recovery.  Could this mean she is “really” on the mend?  I hope so.  If you don’t know by now I love me some Britney Spears; yes, not ashamed to say I am a big fan.            

By jbrooker LaDonna Andre Gaines, known to us as Donna Summer, was born in 1948 in Boston, Massachusetts and became one of the most successful female hit makers of the 70s and 80s, and still holds the record for having three consecutive (double) albums hit #1 on the Billboard charts.  And I bet you didn’...

By jbrooker I wonder what’s going on with Whitney Houston.  Is she still in the studio making her “come back” album?  Anybody have real info?  Tell me something darn it!  The first time I heard her sing was in a church in Newark, New Jersey back in the day when we were both kids.  Then I saw her in concert when...

By jbrooker I know we’re tired of seeing the coverage of Britney Spears but she is a big part of our pop culture whether we like it or not.  I could probably write 20 pages on the situation but I won’t do that to you.     Artist of the Month Tupac Amaru Shakur

By Shelia Joann: Your first CD came out in 2005. Right? Raheem: Yes, uh uh, that’s right. Joann: Are you planning to perform in the New York/New Jersey area any time soon? I would love to see you in concert. Raheem: Yeah, I have a couple of dates in Newark but I’m not sure when.

By jbrooker Bad times follow Britney Spears around like a plague!  On January 3 cops, the fire department and an ambulance was sent to her home apparently because of some “custody battle” she was having with her ex-husband Kevin “Leech” Federline.  As far as I’m concerned Britney’s ex is nothing but a...

By jbrooker I don’t know much about the rap duo UGK, but rapper Chad “Pimp C” Butler was found dead in a West Hollywood hotel room on December 4.  The brother was 33 years old.  The PoPo (for those of you who don’t know that’s the police) said he apparently died of “natural causes” and it appears to be no “foul...

By jbrooker Until next time…kiss, kiss!    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ News flash - I recently read that Jaheim has been in a relationship for the last three years and he is in love.  Oh noooooooo!  I told ya I have a huge crush on him so you know I’m jealous!  Please tell me this isn’t true!  I’m just glad his CD drop...
