Comedy: Trying To Get That Old Thing Back? Curtis And Vivica Go To Couples Therapy On ’50 Central’ (Video)
October 26, 2017
This could have gone any number of ways, and Fif ‘n Viv played havoc with all of them… a little jokey-jokey, some gangsta sh!t, some a lot of sexual innuendo.
After years of separation, the two moguls enter the same room for a therapy session and things get a little dangerous.
– BET Networks
Bwaaahahaa! Viv was about to “Set It Off” (caught that?) on 50 Central… Whoa! Put the knife DOWN!
Besides… I see you… keeping thangs tizzight, Ms. Fox. I’m saying though. Maybe 50 don’t want that thang-thang, but I know a dude who wanna see about it (raised my hand, hoping to raise my… heh… nevermind).

October 23, 2017
Nice! Saw Boyz II Men and Brian McKnight on GMA last week doing this and had to stop everything. Not really an R&B head, but these are two of the great acts of my early years. Respect.
And respect for what they are coming back to the table with this go ’round. Doo-wop sounds. For real! Watch above. For more golden-voice goodness, follow link to the new album (below).

Hahaaa! YouTube surfing will let you catch some cool content in the side margins. Then when you click on one of those, you find several related. Like the 50 on Kimmel a while back. Hilarious. Dope.

Shannon Sharpe Says, “Let Me Celebrate!” So Remix God Suede Dropped This Beat And It Was On (Video)
October 19, 2017
For some reason, this does not seem to have gone as viral as the “Evaculation” mash. But please believe that this “Milds & That Yak” clip flip is just as much a trip.
Remix God Suede went HARD and brought out them Sharpe BARZ for Shannon! Hahaaaaa!

Christopher Meloni Stars In SyFy’s Original “Happy!” Coming To Starting December 6th (Trailer)
October 19, 2017
Well, would you look at this… Elliot Christopher Meloni Stabler from “Law & Order: SVU” has got himself another gig. Looks like a cross between “Roger Rabit” and “Sin City” – like those two flicks had a fling and abandoned the baby. And it grew up with no home training, unhinged and macabre af! Probably helps the aura of this movie; the fact that Meloni also starred in the very graphic “Sin City” sequel.
But enough of the past. This trailer is for “Happy!” (based on New York Times best-selling author Grant Morrison and Darick Robertson’s graphic novel of the same name). The series follows Nick Sax (played by Meloni) – an intoxicated, corrupt ex-cop turned hitman – who is adrift in a world of casual murder, soulless sex and betrayal. After a hit gone wrong, his inebriated life is forever changed by a tiny, relentlessly positive, imaginary blue winged horse named Happy (Patton Oswalt).

Method Man Remembers & Praises The Excellence Of Prodigy (Video)
October 18, 2017
Meth says Prodigy was ‘Top 5’ in his day… PLUS he was a fan. Dopest and most real thing a colleague can say in almost any field of endeavor; but esp. so in Hip-Hop. One more RIP to Prodigy of Mobb Deep.

Check Out This Hilarious Teaser For “White Famous” Starring Jay Pharoah (Trailer)
October 13, 2017
It’s a fair question, and an old question: Why do WE have to ‘cross over’ to White audiences to be successful? I know it’s been the question asked of entertainers since “The Five Heartbeats” movie. And I am willing to bet a fair amount that Jay Pharoah sneaks in an imitation of Chris Rock in this debut season of his new Showtime series… Rock had me cracking the f*** up when he told Kevin Hart he was just ‘Black Famous’ on “Real House Husbands Of Hollywood” (you can’t CLOSE, Kevin, hahaaa)!
SHOWTIME® presents WHITE FAMOUS, the outrageous new Original Comedy Series starring Jay Pharoah. Comedian Floyd Mooney’s career is about to blow up, but he’s not so sure he’s ready for all that. He doesn’t have time for big egos, crazy studio execs and the wild side of fame. Hollywood is full of phonies but Floyd wants to stay true to himself. Can he make it without losing his soul? Don’t miss WHITE FAMOUS, the insanely funny new comedy from Tom Kapinos, executive producer of Californication, and Academy Award® winner Jamie Foxx, airing Sunday, October 15th 10PM ET/PT only on SHOWTIME®.

Method Man To Host ‘Drop The Mic’ On TBS (Trailer)
October 11, 2017
TBS got Snoop for a show (you saw that posted here). How about some love for Method Man though? Bring it back East a bit.
Yep. TBS did that. And for the trailer, toss in the DoggFather… just because.

Nia Long Just Gave Kendrick Lamar The Permission (Video)
October 10, 2017
See? Nia had no shade for K.Dot. She just did not recognize the new Compton Don… yet. But see, now that she does, she gave him PERMISSION to use her name in that next dope rhyme.
Savage Savvy!
But let’s keep rewinding at the end where lovely Ms. Long stressed that that gold-beaded dress was on a mission: To ‘hold it in and push it OUT!’ Mercy!
(So… that’s why that red carpet clip is after the jump. Yes and more yes yes, indeed!)

Snoop Dogg To Host The Reboot Of The Classic Game Show, “The Jokers Wild” (Trailer)
October 10, 2017
Okay, I’m thinking TBS might really be onto something. Snoop Dogg on TV as a game show host; not a cook or coach. And this reboot of “The Jokers Wild”… Wow! I would never have seen that coming (but now we know it’s coming, October 24th).
I remember the original game show hosted by Wink Martindale. Trust that this version will be waaay more ‘G’ (pimpin’)!

Being Broke: Ain’t That A Mother? (Video)
October 10, 2017
Issa Rae is always (1) looking super-cute and (2) saying something worthwhile (even when she is being funny). Here she explains to Roland Martin how she got something going when she had nothing in her pockets or going for her. Grind meets Creativity on the ultimate plane of existence; a ‘starving artist’ who found ways to feed herself… steak!
(Amazing what she did with a little lot of help from her friends.)

October 9, 2017
Starring Josh Duhamel, Bokeem Woodbine and Jimmi Simpson, and no longer a ‘long-awaited’ or ‘maybe, strong maybe’… They kept snatching the clips down like someone was ‘hedging’ at the network. But okay. This Biggie-Tupac crime drama series is definitely coming to USA.
Watch the official trailer for Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac & The Notorious B.I.G., a new series coming to USA Network from a director of The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story.

Comedy: Don’t Worry. “The President” Has A Plan… Chaos! (Video)
October 3, 2017
Bwaaahahaaa! Alec Baldwin is tearing President Trump up in these Saturday Night Live skits. But who’s SNL going to throw in the pot to roast with ‘The Donald’ now that ‘Spicey’ is gone? How about Trump’s AG (Attorney General)… the only OG appointee of note that is still around… Jeff Sessions! Yeah, they cook him, too.
And on this particular skit: Sure, the premise is funny; but it’s kinda plausible #ChaosTheory

Sports/Politics: Nick Wright’s Question For People Angered By The #TakeAKnee Movement: What Are You Actually Mad At? (Video)
September 28, 2017
I’m not gonna engage on the absurdity that we just ran a clip where a player quotes the President Of The United States, and we felt we needed to bleep it.
– Nick Wright
Yeah. And this isn’t the first time the words of the POTUS have been ‘bleeped’… But let’s not engage in the folly for now.
Instead, let’s follow Nick’s lead. Let’s follow the line of reasoning, avoiding all the crazy and staying on that line… bypassing the false equivocations… walking past the baseless arguments of the Trumpeters and stepping over their misunderstandings, barreling through that wall protecting those who want to make ‘Murica great again, make football in ‘Murica great again, until we arrive at the heart of what those against the PEACEFUL #TakeAKnee movement are really against…
Because once we get to the end of that line of unreasonable, where folks in their feelings have nowhere to go and have to answer honestly about why they detest #TakeAKnee …”What Are You Actually Mad At?”
And before someone says it… we’re NOT going to ‘just stick to sports’ this time. I just want them to say the words.

Sports/Politics: Bob Costas Declares That President Trump Has Galvanized The #TakeAKnee Movement (Video)
September 25, 2017
Do you want a President of the United States who, even if you’re giving him the benefit of that doubt, is so tone deaf to the racial implications of this?
– Bob Costas
Right on time! There was so much on Kaep and #TakeAKnee this past weekend and even before. Wasn’t sure how to cover it all here. But then veteran sportscaster/commentator Bob Costas comes through and wraps it with a bow!
NBC Sports broadcaster Bob Costas speaks to CNN’s John Berman and Alisyn Camerota after President Donald Trump criticized the NFL and players who took a knee during the national anthem.
– CNN
Great points. Trump galvanized the #TakeAKnee movement. Can’t even call this ‘shots fired’ really. Just facts!
