Pet Peeves: Magazine Redisigns

If there’s one thing I can’t stand, it’s when a magazine “freshens up” it’s look. ARGH! It seems every time I flip the to the page with the masthead, there’s a new name at the top and 99.99% of the time that new editor has a fresh new “vision.” DOUBLE ARGH! I understand that the [...]

Isaiah, sweetie, let it go.

It’s kinda funny… in a pathetically sad sort of way. I think that old saying about a tree falling in the woods applies to this situation. If an actor gives increasingly desperate interviews to salvage his career and nobody listens, was there ever a career (or an actor) worth saving in the first place?

Divas Unite: Will posted yesterday, briefly, about the amazing union of Jennifer Hudson and Jennifer Holliday singing “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going” from Dreamgirls on the 2007 BET Awards.
