Chris Brown and Drake’s crews allegedly got into a fight at a NYC club – and now the news is everywhere – but no one is taking the blame! So I created a completely subjective guide on how to decide whose side you should be on – TeamBreezy (Chris Brown) or TeamDrizzy (Drake)… based on …
Drake vs Chris Brown: #TeamDrizzy or #TeamBreezy??
“I know you’ve been hurt…by someone else” Oh, Rihanna. If only you would sing the line you sing on Drake’s “Take Care” to Chris Brown now… it’d be so funny. It’d be like pouring salt on a wound. A chin wound. Anyway. Today’s blog is focused on the Khantroversy that is the Chris Brown-Drake fight …
Daddy Issues: What My TV Fathers Taught Me
Happy Father’s Day! I don’t know about you, but I spent most of my childhood (the 90’s) in front of a television set. In fact, I actually once told Simpsons-creator Matt Groening that Homer Simpson raised me (he looked at me with a little bit of concern, as if his eyes were saying, “D’oh!” Not …
My Problem with Pakistan: From Sesame Street to Twitter
Dear Pakistan, Can you stop being so f-ing dramatic? Ack – what? That’s an inappropriate way to start a conversation? I apologize. I’m sorry. Allow me to (re)introduce myself – my name is Khan. Samia Khan. Digital Media personality. And half (some would argue “full”) Pakistani-American. Why the harsh words, you ask? Um. Because …
You Got Played: Which NBA Team is He?
The other day, I told someone they got played… specifically saying something to the extent of… “He played you like a Laker.” (Loose summary: she had high hopes, was let down in the end… yeah, you get it.) Then, because my mind works in a very tangential sense, I started trailing off and next thing …
One Joe Jonas & a Side of Chipotle Mayo
Look. I’m a sucker for boy bands and anything 13-year-old girls like. I’m currently addicted to Carly Rae Jespen’s “Call Me Maybe” and have been known to watch Nickelodeon’s “iCarly” onDemand. Needless to say, as I was sitting at the bar at Birds in Franklin Village, catching up with the oh-so-dreamy Manish Dayal of 9021O …
My Nonversation With David Beckham
SCENE ONE: music school in Hollywood, specific location not to be disclosed for fear of stalkers Samia is late to her 6:30 songwriting class due to LA traffic. She parks at a meter at 6:38 and fills it til 7:58, running out of coins and hoping a parking attendant won’t drive by and see a …
Take Care, Tatyana
I’m going to keep this blog post short and sweet, because well, real talk… in an effort to write the “perfect blog post”, I’ve just delayed writing it by 12 days, and that’s stupid because then nothing gets accomplished. This being realized, I will now begin every day repeating the mantra, “not everything I write …
Donald Glover vs Troy Barnes vs Childish Gambino
I’d like to issue an apology to Donald Glover for taking two years to write a blog post about him. You see, the man also known to “Community” lovers as Troy Barnes and hip-hop heads as Childish Gambino is incredibly talented… and I? Well, I’m just a procrastinator. Perhaps I should take a hard-working cue …
Impossible to Meet Bieber?…Never Say Never.
What does an Extra correspondent, Diddy’s son, and a tech trade show have in common? Um. They all helped contribute to one of my life goals…a conversation with Justin Bieber (maybe not a LIFE goal, but at least something that 13-year-old SK would think was really dope.) The trade show? CES in Las Vegas. I …
