Congrats are in order again for Mo’Nique!  She just won Best Performance by an Actress In A Supporting Role in a Motion Picture at tonight’s Golden Globes Awards. She gave an emotional acceptance speech, in her long gold strapless gown, and thanked her hubby, director Lee Daniels, Gabby Sidibe, and told everyone who has even been sexually abused that now is the time to speak up.

Teddy Pendergrass, one of the most successful R&B singers of the 1970s and ’80s, passed away yesterday after a battle with colon cancer. He was 59. Pendergrass was diagnosed with cancer last year and had a difficult time recovering from surgery; he died at Bryn Mawr Hospital outside of his native Philadelphia, ABC News reports. The five-time Grammy-nominated singer had chart-topping hits in three different decades with 1978’s “Close the Door,” 1988’s “Joy” and 1991’s “It Should’ve Been You,” plus well-known songs like “Love TKO,” “Two Hearts” with Stephanie Mills and “Hold Me,” a duet with Whitney Houston that featured on Houston’s 1985 debut album.

This Rihanna girl.........is pretty .....hot!

We really......have not been that much of a fan of Rihanna.......

But......

Home girl .....is pretty hot.   How is her singing?   

From our friends at YBF.com:

Rihanna performs in Abu Dhabi for New Year's Eve
Rihanna went back to her curly top ‘do to perform a New Year’s Eve private performance at the Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi, UAE.  It was her first performance there and it looks like they didn’t make her tone down her outfit as rumored.  At all.
But congrats are in order for Ms. Rih Rih.  Her album Rated R reportedly just sold 1 million copies worldwide.  And it only took 5 weeks.

The King...........is Dead


White folks....have ....their king.....in Elvis.....We black folks.....have ours...

Michael Jackson........the king of pop.

Michael .......died today....

At the age of 50......But ....it's not a bad thing.

For .....Michael.......was not supposed to get old .....and gray. He was one of those icons.....who should be remembered........"forever young"

Who would have wanted to see an 80 year old.....Michael Jackson?

Age 50........was pushing it.

Sometimes..........it's better.......to die young. Especially for the eccentric Jackson.......What more to prove?

His legacy?

More in death.....than in a life.....of an aging pop star.....trying to make a come back.

Michael Jackson........heck.....we grew up together.....The "Thriller"album is still the all time best selling album.....ever.

Michael Jackson........may ........you rest in peace.....and do a "moon-walk".....in heaven.

Italy.........You could be Speaking...."German"

It is not often.....

we dabble in international politics.......but this is one we had to get involved with.

Spike Lee ,
the Black-American film maker, has caused a storm of controversy among Italians with his upcoming movie, "Miracle at St. Anna".

From Yahoo.com:

Film director Spike Lee has set off a storm in Italy with a movie about black American soldiers fighting alongside Italian partisans in World War Two.

Surviving members of the resistance to the Nazi occupation of Italy have taken issue with "Miracle at St. Anna" ahead of the film's Italian release on Friday, distributing protest flyers and accusing Lee of distorting history.

Lee has said he wanted to set the record straight about the role played by black U.S. soldiers in the war. The film is based on a novel by James McBride and focuses on the all-black 92nd Buffalo Division which helped liberate Italy in 1944-45.


Seems like a good idea to me. In most WWII movies..........us blacks were nonexistent. It was as if no black man even fought in the war. Hollywood has always presented blond haired, blue eyed Caucasians as the saviors of the free world. Thousands of Black men fought and paid the ultimate price (their lives) for this country.

Read on.....

At the heart of the dispute is the film's depiction of an infamous 1944 massacre in the Tuscan town of Sant'Anna di Stazzema, where Nazi troops rounded up and killed 560 civilians.

In the film, the massacre is portrayed as a response to the actions of resistance fighters, with one of them betraying the town and colluding with the Nazis -- a version of events that has angered surviving partisans.


Okay........that is so Italian.......The truth hurts......Here's more.....

Lee, who is in Italy promoting the film, has responded to the criticism in his characteristically feisty manner.

"I would not allow anybody to tell me how to make a film, be it a partisan or the president of the United States," Lee told a news conference in Florence on Wednesday after a preview screening, according to Italian media.

"This simply shows that in Italy the wound is still open. ... It is up to Italians to come to grips with their past, not up to me or James McBride or the film," he said.

Spike.......you tell 'em ........Note to Italy: "If not for the courage and fight of the 92nd Buffalo Division, "German" would be your national language."

Another key here..........This is just a movie, a film........It is not an official documentary....never claimed to be one. This is Spike Lee. He makes movies...... His movies often provoke a lot of thoughts. That's Spike Lee.

And shame on you ....Italy.....if you can't get past........your past.

Don't just believe me..........Find out more about the "92nd" from these links:

Happy Trails.......Paul Newman (1925-2008)


Hollywood legend Paul Newman dead at 83


This Hollywood star....with the stunning blue eyes......captivated the American public for several decades.

Who can forget "The Sting", "The Color of Money", "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid".....to name just a few.

And.....his passion for auto racing where his Newman/Haas racing team was very successful.

And........if you've ever been in the condiment aisle of a grocery store.....you have sure seen his Paul Newman salad dressings.

A different kind of Hollywood star.
