I used to work at TV Guide Network for 2 years. That should give me some credibility for having a section dedicated to TV. As for film, um. I took a class with film critic Leonard Maltin where we watched movies before they came out. PS I’m a sucker for Aladdin.
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… 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 …
How I Met Your Mother. April 2, 2009. OK so I’ve been keeping this a secret for over a month now, but after last night’s “How I Met Your Mother” episode and the revelation that Stella (Sarah Chalke’s character) is back… I can FINALLY share my “Khanversation Piece” about my early April visit to the …
So I didn’t really publicly talk about it for fear it wouldn’t happen, but thankfully my fears have been alleviated. So now I can “eeek.” Eeeeeek! I was part the of studio audience during Justin Timberlake’s Jimmy Kimmel taping this evening. It was… magical? I don’t get starstruck. I mean in my industry, you really …
I have like 4-5 other “Khanversation Piece”-worthy stories, but this one can’t wait. OK so, as most of you already know (because of a certain facebook picture/status/tweet,) I met Kobe Bryant yesterday. More specifically, Alecia and I did set visit to a production stage in LA, where Kobe Bryant was taping a segment for Sesame …
Paul Rudd, Jason Segel, Jon Favreau, Andy Samberg. Need I say more? “I Love You, Man” is funny. Seriously. Alecia and I saw the flick after we had covered the premiere just a few days earlier, and could not stop laughing. Granted, could’ve gone without seeing the projectile vomiting and graphic billboards, but I suppose …
Snoop film’s his MTV variety show, “Dogg After Dark,” on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at Kress in Hollywood. Megan and I were there on Wednesday, waiting to interview him for Hollywood 411. In the hour we waited, the one thing we most noticed were the scantily-clad extras…. SO Hollywood. By that I mean… I guarantee at …
