Questions For the Zeitgeist- April 21, 2008

FOXY/ISAIAH ARE OUT, BRANDY AND SERENA ARE IN- MAYBE...

In a week when Carmello Anthony and Sandra Bullock have found themselves on opposite ends of the Drunk Driving spectrum, when Beyonce and Ashlee Simpson have both been dodging pregnancy rumors, and The Pope visits America right before Jews settle into Passover, these are the questions in the bubble above my head...

1- Now that Foxy Brown has been released from Riker's Island prison, has Lil Kim missed her chance to reinstate her reign as rap's "Queen B"?


2- Now that she has avoided prison and been signed to Epic records, can Brandy show up Keyshia Cole and reign again as R&B's Princess?

3- Isaiah Thomas fired from the Knicks- FINALLY!!! After an embarrassing losing season, a public rift with his star player, and a huge sexual harassment suit, what more would it have taken for his dismissal, reports of a dogfighting ring?









4- Speaking of dogfighting...Will Pennsylvania's primary on Tuesday FINALLY put Hillary Clinton to bed? If not, who will stop the implosion of the democratic party by way of the bloody battle between Obama and Clinton?

REALity Show Redux...
5- Every REALity show he has Executive-produced - from the CW's 'America's Next Top Model' and 'Pussycat Dolls Presents: Girlicious', to Vh-1's 'Miss Rap Supreme' and 'Ego Trip's The (White) Rapper Show'- has been successful. He is currently working with Tyra Banks on the upcoming CW show 'Fashionista'. How has uber-producer Ken Mok (who created MTV's 'Making The Band') managed to maintain such a low profile?

6-Speaking of REALity shows, isn't Vh-1's 'Rock of Love'- with its seemingly "low-self-esteem" contestants- just a melanin-deficient version of the lowbrow, lachrymose "Flava of Love" ?...


7- REALity show star makes good...Who's ready for the "Fieeerrrrccceeee" television debut of Project Runway winner Christian Siriano on ABC's Ugly Betty on May 1st?

8-Mariah Carey and Janet Jackson lose weight and end up with Number 1 projects on Billboard. Can Carnie Wilson and Kevin Federline follow suit?























9- When, exactly, are we going to see Halle Berry/Gabriel Aubry's offspring, Nahla Ariela Aubry?


10- With her first clay court win in six years at the Family Circle Cup (a tier-1 tournament), Serena Williams climbs ranks to become the number 6 player in the world. Are the planets aligning for another "Serena Slam"?
