Comedy: Michael Jordan’s Wedding (Video)
May 9, 2013
NBC’s Saturday Night Live takes a shot at the recent high-cost, high society wedding of NBA great Michael Jordan to Yvette Prieto.

Comedy ensues… with the two (and other ‘wedding guests’) poking fun at the newlyweds in the sketch clip above. Hilarious! Especially the ‘Dikembe Mutombo speech.’

DMX Says ‘Iyanla Fix My Life’ and Then… (Video)
April 23, 2013
Compelling television. Indeed.
Earl ‘DMX’ Simmons appears on OWN’s ‘Iyanla Fix My Life’ to ‘do the work’ with the show’s host. Well, it started out that way. But where how it ended up going…man. I won’t spoil it, but wow, Iyanla Vanzant got up in X’s…face…and it was on! Watch. Just know that, like whenever you spotlight DMX, in this hour-long vid, X Gone Give It To Ya!
Seriously though, all said and done, #SupportDMX for real. This brother means too much to Hip-Hop and humanity. I hope for the best for X and his fam and his life.
(Bonus: Check out the DMX sit-down with Jet Magazine – sharing candid, uncut feelings on his show appearance – after the jump.)

Man Builds A Real Live Bat Cave (Video)
April 22, 2013
Batman fanatic Chris Weir has built himself a real-life Bat Cave in his basement, dropping more than $120,000 US (£78,000) on his home project and Batman-related interests. Suffice it to say, Weir is obsessed with Batman the Dark Knight. Batman comic books, action figures, and TV and movie posters and other paraphernalia. Kinda cool that his wife (Joanna) is on board… as long as the bills get paid.
While the Wayne Manor version might put more emphasis on the Bat Crime Lab, Weir’s features a home cinema inside the Bat Cave with a 100-inch TV screen where he watches Batman movies, shows and cartoons with his wife and young sons Zachary and Daniel.
“I wanted the room to look like something Batman himself would operate in, but its all for entertainment purposes,” Weir comments.
Weir’s infatuation with Batman began at age three when he played Batman and Robin in his yard with his uncle. Now 38, this grown man can do whatever the hell he wants… and he wants to play Batman with his fam.
Enjoy the video above. Interesting.

Unsung: Isaac Hayes (Video)
January 27, 2013
The legendary Isaac Hayes was the subject of TV One’s popular television series “Unsung” last Wednesday night & the show didn’t disappoint in covering the life of one of the greatest icons in black music. The influence & contributions of Isaac Hayes goes deeper than just the music as he was not only a singer, songwriter, musician & producer, but he was an actor & activist as well. Isaac Hayes’ music has also been sampled by countless numbers of hip hop & R&B artists many times over further keeping his legacy alive. If you didn’t catch the episode live like I did on Wednesday then you can watch the full episode on the life of “Black Moses” here on this soulful sunday afternoon.
