OK so let’s cut the BS. You know it, I know it, we all know it. I just haven’t well, addressed “it.” I’m brown. South Asian. From the Indian “subcontinent.” Rather, my parents are from there. Mom raised in Pakistan, dad raised in India. One arranged marriage and 30-something years later, their 24-year-old daughter is …
Jokoy. Filipino comic, who you may know from the Laugh Factory (where I first saw him back in like 2005,) or more recently on a national scale as a frequent panelist on Chelsea Lately’s roundtable. Anyway. Why I’m writing a “Khanversation” piece on him is kinda funny/random, so obviously background is needed. A friend of …
OK so this past weekend, I attended an event at the USC film school. I attend panels, network away, yet constantly get distracted by this guy… I can’t place it, but he looks SO familiar. Something about the eyes? I see him again and again, and we keep making eye-contact (or so I think it’s …
Yes, I went to the Chris Brown concert. Yes, the FAN Appreciation Tour. Now before I get “hate” comments, let me explain myself. I love live music. I love small venues. And I love a good performance. All three of these? Checked off the list. I know a lot of people were just like, “F …
Yes… it’s another tweet about…ME. First it was Rob Thomas, and next? One of the stars of “Crash” on Starz Channel, Jocko Sims. Jocko plays Anthony Adams aka Panic, Dennis Hopper’s right hand man in the show. There, he plays an aspiring hip hop artist. What’s kinda cool? Reality sort of imitates art. In fact, …
Alex Al… never heard of him? Well even if you haven’t, he has a pretty cool name, so that warrants a blog entry in itself. But no in all seriousness, you may not know him, but if you’re one of the thousands that have checked out MJ’s concert movie, “This is It,” you’ve at least …
Wendy Williams defines sass. Seriously. I recently went shopping with her at LA boutique Diavolina, and wow… she…inspires me? OK so maybe I’m not like 6 feet tall and I’m not a black woman who has had years in the radio business, is rapped about in many a song, or wears a wig, BUT! I …
I don’t know about you but I love The Simpsons. Like, if there’s one TV-Dad who raised me, it’s Homer Simpson. (Danny Tanner comes in a close second.) Anyway, The Simpsons were honored in the postage world with commemorative stamps, released on May 7th. The “official” release function was at the FOX Studios lot in …
Super sad news today… DJ AM found dead this morning in his New York City apartment at the age of 36. DJ AM is the same DJ that narrowly escaped death last year in South Carolina. DJ AM is the same dj that dated both Mandy Moore and Nicole Richie. DJ AM is the same …
I love strangers. Seriously. I actually enjoy talking to random people more than I do celebrities. Perhaps it’s the local news in me? Anyway, Harry Potter broke box office records… 22 million dollars in sales just in midnight screenings the day it was released. Ridic. The record is all thanks to crazy fans, fans who …
