Q. What happens when Samia Khan tags along with her friend Jessica Berry to a comedy show at the J-Spot in Inglewood? A. Samia realizes she has less street cred than she thought (i.e.: They’re playing a rap song, she goes “Why aren’t they playing 2 Chainz?!” and her friend points out …“Samia, this IS 2 Chainz.”) B. …
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 …
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 …
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 …
What do Humans Taste Like?
October 16th, 2011: The birthday of my dear friend, YouTuber/actress Jessica Berry. Destination? Six Flags Magic Mountain theme park. Agenda? Go on rides, and then freak ourselves out by going through all the Halloweeen-themed mazes as “Fright Fest” (did I ever mention my love for alliteration? If not…now you know.) Anyway. I was getting “stalked” by …
A Legendary Run-In with SuperModel Chrissy Teigen
“Hi…um, I follow you on Twitter, so it’s totally acceptable that I followed you into the bathroom, right?” The aforementioned quote? ALMOST actually stated, as a “pickup” line (on a girl, mind you)… So here’s the deal. I’m at the Hollywood Improv to check out a few friends (Jonny Loquasto and Grant Cotter) who are …
BBM: Beyond Boring Machine
I said it once, I’ll say it again… I would never date a Blackberry. For those not following along, my definition of a Blackberry, as it pertains to this blog post, is a person who uses the RIM device, most often associated with finance and entertainment professionals. NOT the fruit…I rather enjoy the fruit actually… Anyway. …
Sonny With A Chance of…Meeting Demi Lovato
What happens when you take a Grey-Goosed-out comedian friend (let’s call him FI, short for Funny Indian) to one of the hottest spots in Hollywood? Um. You befriend a Disney star whose song you secretly love (and not-so-secretly blast everytime it plays on Satellite Radio.) The Grey-Goosed-out friend? Rajiv Satyal (or as I call him, …
