1- Aren't we just waiting with bated breath to see Alicia Keys' big-screen debut as a pistol-toting lesbian assassin in the action flick "Smokin' Aces"?
2-How funny was Jake Gyllenhaal doing his best Effie White imitation on 'Saturday Night Live'?
2a- Has 'Dreamgirls' finally hit the saturation point? Will there be 'Dreamgirls' "backlash?"
3- Skincare line 'Carol's Daughter' has been the best kept-secret in beauty for years and the little beauty line that could- especially for people of color. Now with getting star investment backing (Jay-Z, Will and Jada, Tommy Motolla, etc.), going from small Brooklyn storefront to Harlem flagship store to now opening their first mall store in Roosevelt Field Mall (with more on the way) as well as being sold in Sephora stores nationwide, founder Lisa Price is said to be starting a cosmetics line as well. Is Carol's daughter poised to give MAC a run for their money with the "blackgirl contingent"?
4- Given all of his troubles since he won the record amount $315 million in the Powerball lottery in Christmas of 2002, would Jack Whittaker do it all again?
5- Speaking of money troubles... Whitney Houston sells off old garments and soon-to-be-ex-husband Bobby Brown's music awards to pay off a warehouse storage debt. Was that out of necessity, or is the divorce getting nasty?
6- In the latest pageant queen scandal...Ashley Harder, Miss New Jersey USA, resigns amid reports that she is pregnant. This is of course after Miss Nevada USA Katie Rees was stripped of her title after racy photos of her appeared on the Internet AND Miss USA Tara Conner, who was caught drinking in New York bars when she was still underage, barely held onto her tiara after she agreed to go into rehab and undergo drug testing. Doesn't this make Vanessa Williams' little "misstep" back in the day seem tame in comparison?
6a- Moreover, isn't Miss Williams getting the last laugh?7-Courtney Cox, Demi Moore and Nelly Furtado: separated at birth?
8-With all of the flashbulbs capturing her every move, is Prince William's rumored fiance Kate Middleton repeating Princess Diana's life?
9-We know the old saying, "black don't crack", but...with NYC NBC News anchor Sue Simmons looking basically the same now as when she first hit the tube 26years ago, we have to know... Does she sleep in an oxygen chamber?
9a- Additionally, arent' we glad that after 26 years, she is a respected newsanchor yet STILL has a sense of humor?
10- President Barack Obama or President Hillary Clinton?
The FLASHBACK...
In thinking about the hubbub surrounding Kate Middleton specifically (and it could be argued a couple of other people in the above questions- Barack Obama, Whitney Houston, as well as the pageant "queens"), I was thinking about the idea of stalking and living your life in a fishbowl and how that could give rise to paranoia. My first instinct was to post Sting's video for "Every Step You Take", but then I came up with one better.
Do you remember...Rockwell's " (I Always Feel Like) Somebody's Watching Me"?

You know, I was reading about Sue Simmons recently and a bio said she was in her 60s. Remember When Harry Met Sally? Yep, I'll have what she's having. I remember Live at Five, back when I was a little boy, and she looks the same. As for Vanessa, I think the last thing people associate her with is the scandal. Her singing and acting eclipsed that saga ages ago. Is there a Dreamgirls backlash? I know the hype has worn me out, but I can't fault the film for it. It should be in more theaters before we cry foul.
Alisha Keys OMG!! I can not wait.! HubbaHubba!
Whitney shouldn't sell off Bobby's awards, he may never win anymore.
Sue Simmons, wow maybe she has a portrait in the closet that's getting older, hmmmm.
I love this Blog!
