// PRESENTED by Samia Khan
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 …
Inspired. Not usually the term I’d use when describing the feeling after a work-related shoot (keep in mind I cover fashion and celebs for a living) but… for this first time since my days as a local news reporter covering things like death, war, disease, fires, fairs, and the like, I’ve actually been affected. Now, …
This just in: Brian Williams is a huge fan of obituaries, owns two American cars, and thinks Jon Stewart is a necessary branch of government. Good evening, I’m Samia Khan. (The lead of my hypothetical newscast after my run-in with Brian Williams.) Alright enough of the daydreaming. Let’s talk business. My business. News business. I …
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 …
Perhaps my last Michael Jackson post was a bit harsh… I’m sorry…I didn’t know what was to come just a few days later (none of us did,) but I hope that my sense of humor isn’t held against me. Truth be told, MJ was one of the most talented entertainers out there, and even if …
Hanging out at the Raffles L’Ermitage – this swanky suite in Bev Hills. Meet Rob Thomas, we sit down, what do we do? Immediately tweet. Yes. Tweet. Of course I @reply-him, and his response? He twitters about me. This is kind of a big deal. I think this is the moment where Twitter officially beats …
As mentioned elsewhere, I covered Wango Tango 2009. I also mentioned a “fiasco” that occurred at this event. Cliffs notes version? I had fabulous interviews with some of music’s biggest names… and then, the tapes went missing. But as the cliche saying goes, memory lives in the heart (not on digibeta tapes.) So now I’ll …
Will.i.am. Fergie. Two guys whose name you probably don’t know. Collectively, known as the Black Eyed Peas. For laziness-sake, I’ll refer to them in this post as “BEP.” As I mentioned on Facebook and Twitter, I covered KIIS-FM’s Wango Tango concert on Saturday the 9th on behalf of TV Guide Network… However, I will not …
