Before I continue…yes, the title of this blog post is a reference to an early-90’s, multi-hit-wonder-of-a-rapper who went bankrupt. Don’t judge me. Please continue reading… How many Winter Olympians are you Facebook friends with? OK now how many of those actually have a gold and silver medal? Now whether I’m really friends with snowboarder Hannah …
As many of you know, my friend Amy and I are in Vancouver, as one of five Samsung mobile explorer teams… we’re capturing the Olympic experience through blogs, video, and social media over the next few weeks…AND competing to win the title of Ultimate Mobile Explorer! Please visit http://www.facebook.com/SamsungUSA to vote for us – Team …
OK so I just sat in on a TCA panel featuring Rosie O’Donnell and Parker O’Donnell, who were here in LA promoting her new HBO doc “A Family Is A Family Is A Family” (Parker and Rosie? They’re…family.) Now this post isn’t to talk about the film, but rather, my reunion with Rosie. Wait…reunion?! I …
OK so this isn’t exactly a “Khanversation,” but I’m here in Pasadena covering NBC’s press day (and yes, as a result, I’ll have a ton of my typical, SK-style posts in the future) and I wanted to share this “breaking news” article that I wrote regarding the Leno/Conan situation for HollywoodNews.com — enjoy! It’s Official: …
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 …
