Thanks to dirtywhorelebrity.com for putting me on to this!
HBO is pushing 12-week viral campaign that leads up to the show’s third-season premiere on June 13. I knew about the June 13th premiere a few weeks ago. I remember tweeting it as SSSOOONN as I found out. I can’t wait to see more of these ads they are pushing. You know I’m all things True Blood.

So, in case you missed the memo, I am a HUGE .. HUGE fan of True Blood. After season 1 I went & read ALLLLL the books by Charlaine Harris. They were so good! And they do NOT take away from the excitement of the HBO series because Alan Ball is excellent with changing it up. He does manage to introduce all the critical characters from the book, like Alcide who will be appearing in season 3. Now, I won’t spoil for those who don’t know, but Alcide needs to bring major HOT factor. And Oh MY GOD they did it. I read on SpoilerTV who they cast, and they are RELIABLE and this guy is SMOKING HOT!
JOE MANGANIELLO!!!
I’ve never watched One Tree Hill or How I Met Your Mother, but I mght go back and watch to see him. He was also in spiderMan. Hopefully he kills it as Alcide because I reallllllyy liked Alcides character and the mental image I have of him needs to be brought to life. We’ll see..
More Pics..
I think WK is going to be pleased!
Now I’m definitely even MORE excited about the upcoming season. HBO is great in casting, you can’t deny it. I also read on SpoilerTV that the cast ALFRE WOODARD as Lafayette’s Mom. I think that will be the bomb! Can you see my excitement?

I guess we can officially say that Summer is over. Absolutely, definitely over. And, we all know what that means, right? The return of TV. Yes, that’s right with September not only comes changing leaves and cooler nights, we also get all our favorite TV shows. Last year I was overly excited over the return of Gossip Girl, Grey’s, Desperate Housewives, Brothers & Sisters, The Game, and Samantha Who? among others. Now, a few of these shows have said goodbye, unfortunately, but I’m still looking forward to some fall premieres, and I have dates for some others might not be sure of.
So, crank your DVRs into the ready position and plan accordingly!
My tops:
9/14: Gossip girl – Blair & Serena off to college, or wherever high school graduation leads them. Plus, Georgina returns. I love to hate her! And so what if I still like GG and I’m over 17. Who cares?
9/24: Grey’s Anatomy – bye bye Georgie aka 007! I hope this season is great despite the cast changes. Grey’s fell off some in the past few seasons.
9/23: Law & Order: SVU – Sure, I can catch reruns on USA but its nothing like new episodes of Benson & Stabler. But do NOT leave this playing in the background before a “session” it might weird you out. Just an FYI
9/27: The Cleveland Show -Family Guy spinoff! YEESSS!! While I am almost as excited for the return of the Griffin family, I thought this was going to drop last year, so excuse me if I anticipate this one more. Go Cleveland!
9/27: Desperate Housewives – I love Gabby, Lynette, & Bree. OH, and I guess Susan is OK as well. Can’t wait to see what trouble awaits Wysteria Lane this year. The 5 year skip year didn’t bother me at all.
9/27: Brothers and Sisters – I love the Walkers, they are my extended TV family, lol. And Rebecca & Justin together! Yay!
9/28: Lie to Me – the show is sick. so good. It’s legal stuff but not like court system stuff. Love it.
10/1: Private Practice - Last season ended with a major cliffhanger. Let’s see where it ends up.
10/9: Ugly Betty – I love the outrageousness of it. Hilarity.
The Shows I plan to watch that I’ve never seen before
Sons of Anarchy - 9/8
Parks & Recreation – 9/17 (hello! I love this girl, Amy Poehler!!)
Dollhouse - 9/25I heard this was realllly good! I need to watch Season 1 first.
There are plenty of other new shows out there that are starting this fall, but none of them have piqued my interest yet. Well, I did see a preview of something for ABC that seemed promising, Modern Family. It has Al Bundy in it. (Yes, he is forever Al Bundy.)
I contemplated boycotting the CW because the offed The Game, and I still might, and just watch Gossip Girl through other outlets, but I enjoy Tweeting while watching the show. I love the imput from my Twitter family. So, do you guys think I should take a stand against the CW and their hate for good black sitcoms?I mean, there isn’t one on the roster worth watching… besides Cleveland and that doesn’t really count.

No one loves True Blood as much as me..
But would I actually drink Tru Blood? Probably NOT …
especially since it’s going to be hitting stores near us for $16. Yup, 16 bucks for a 4 pack. NO, its not reallllyyy synthetic blood, its a carbonated drink that’s “slightly tart and lightly sweet” that is “sure to taste better than the O negative consumed by the show’s fictional vampires.”
So, is it going to be like thick and icky like I imagine the real Tru Blood is? What does this say about us that we want to emulate fictional vampires? I mean, ha ha, marketing genius but seriously, did anyone think of these questions? Or did they really give them a serious thought? I love novelty items, as long as they aren’t edible.

First there was anthrax.. then it was Bird Flu.. let’s not forget SARS and now we have Swine Flu. There is always some new viral outbreak to worry Americans and everyone else who’s willing to worry. Maybe I just think I’m so tough that I don’t really pay attention to this crap. Maybe its because I’m one of those young people who thinks they are invincible. Or because I just don’t believe the hype..
Either way, everyone is all up in turmoil about this damn Swine Flu. Now I admit, when I first heard the words I was like “welp, its good I don’t eat pork I guess!!” LOL. I know right, how wrong and ignorant. So to prevent other people from being ignorant, I want everyone to know this has NOTHING to do with actually eating pork. I read that places were removing pork from the shelves, one place even removed Turkey Bacon which isn’t even pork! I guess the word bacon began to carry a negative connotation.
I can tell you how to avoid spreading germs and it doesn’t include those ugly surgeons masks that Heidi & Spencer have been wearing around the internet. WASH YOUR FUCKING HANDS!! You don’t believe how many people don’t wash their hands or even use some hand sanitizer. Sheesh. Some peoples bodies are a breeding ground for germs. Also, if you are sick–Stay your ass home! No one wants to hear you coughing and sneezing at work all day anyway! Use a damn sick day. If you’ve used them all, you might have to take the loss because its not worth it for you to come in and infect the rest of the office (or school!). If you don’t have a job that gives you sick days, you need to step your game up!
But for those of you with real concerns over this other, more professional people, over at CNN have answered your Swine Flu questions, here were my top 3 Q & A’s:
Could this new swine flu virus have been manufactured by bio terrorists? (are you serious??? terrorism??? did CNN make this question up??)
That’s the theory on some conspiracy theorists’ Web sites. But experts don’t believe it.
“If you were a bio terrorist you’d want to create something that’s a lot more deadly than this,” said Dr. Gerald Evans, an associate professor of microbiology at Queen’s University in Canada. “The problem with influenza is that the second you put it into people, it replicates and mutates very quickly. Even if you created the perfect bioweapon, within a few generations of transmissions, it wouldn’t do what you planned for it to do.”
Why are large numbers of people dying in Mexico, but not in other countries? (because Mexican health care sucks?? Why do you think everyone is trying to come to America??)
This is the big mystery doctors are trying to solve right now. Many infectious disease experts say it’s most likely a matter of numbers: with more illnesses in Mexico, there are also more deaths. Other explanations: that in Mexico people have, in addition to swine flu, other viruses that make for a more deadly combination than swine flu alone. It’s also possible that the virus infecting the rest of the world is a weaker version than the one in Mexico. Among the swine flu mysteries: Why only deaths in Mexico?
Should I be freaking out? (Um, why do you have to ask someone else about your reactions???)
A new virus spreading quickly around the world. Young, healthy people struck dead in Mexico. Should we all be panicking?
“Absolutely not,” said Dr. William Schaffner, chairman of the department of preventive medicine at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. Swine flu, he said, “is not spreading all that rapidly. Take the St. Francis School in New York. There’s been very little transmission from the schoolchildren to family members, and it certainly hasn’t spread throughout Queens.”
But, Schaffner added, this doesn’t mean we shouldn’t pay attention to swine flu. “We should be alert, keep up with the information coming out daily, and take control by being attentive to your hygiene. Wash your hands very, very frequently and avoid people who are coughing and sneezing.” (DDDUUUHHH, did you really need someone to tell you that??)
For more of the questions & other swine flu related articles check it out here
I also went to Twitter to see what people are saying, because, well people say the darndest things.. And here are some doozies..
@greedesgirl: Fuck you swine flu! (hahaha, my sentiments!!)
@Pauly666: Swine Flu? It’s a load of Hogwash! (trruueee!!)
@fifeslife: All of this over blown Swine Flu coverage is ridiculous. South Park needs a swine flu episode. (either them or Family Guy!)
@ApexMI: RT @elranchero: So far 1 person in the US has died of Swine Flu, but 36,000 people died of regular flu. (via @captainmicahp) (damn.. very good point.. people don’t care about the norm though!)
@princessarizona: They should have ordered the borders closed once they heard about the Swine flu outbreak. And they do not want people to panic… (that would have been too much like a quarantine & hurt their travel revenue, but its what really concerned people would have done. But we need infected people so the pharmaceutical industry can make more $$)
@rainbowtyedye I read about entire countries slaughtering pigs because of swine flu. What is this going to do to the price of my beloved bacon? (perhaps the best question raised! LOL … I’m sure other bacon lovers are thinking the same thing!)
This lady at my job just told me to make sure I get mask for my upcoming flight (2 weeks away). It never even crossed my mind to do so. See what these damn scares do to people. Now I really have to ponder if I should do that. FML!!

Last night I was watching some TV pretty late, or at least late to me and I ended up on BETJ (or BET Jazz to some) and they were playing a show called Real Life Divas. I hadn’t heard of this show, but I do like their other shows, like BET Shorts and My 2 Cents so I continued watching. RLD was featuring Naomi Campbell on this episode, and it really did tell me some things about her that I didn’t know. But the reason I write this isn’t to boast about the wonderful works of Naomi, but to talk about how I feel it is important to take back the definition of what a Diva actually is. And also to point out that BET needs more programs of this nature on their regular station and this is a problem! Many girls posing as women are misconstruing the what it means to be a “diva” even before Beyonce made it an annoying song (Sorry B, I do love you, but I hate the song).
A “diva” is NOT the female version of hustler. In fact, I went to both www.dictionary.com and www.m-w.com to find out their definition of hustler and diva, and neither made diva and hustler synonyms in their various definitions. Then, I polled different people to find out what they feel a “Diva” is and here is what people are saying:
1. A female lead in an opera (it fits the song!)
2. Someone who is high maintenance, demanding and has high standards (in both a good and bad way).
3. Someone who is prissy, has an attitude, and is high maintenance.
4. Not sure, but its not good because I don’t like what people refer to as diva behavior.
There is resounding proof that a diva is in fact not the female version of a hustler, and I’m happy that BET Jazz has this show to show people what a real diva is (definition 2 for this case). So far they featured people like Tracey Edmonds, Fatima Robinson, Iman, Lisa Leslie, Sanaa Lathan, and Maxine Waters. The only one whom I can say can be noted for the negative features of being a Diva is Naomi Campbell. I really like this show, and I hope it continues to a second season finding people outside of the celebrity/entertainment industry to feature. I hope they feature some people still working their way up the “diva” ladder to continue to inspire peole and show that its not always easy.
And while I’m happy that people want to take a word with a generally negative connotation and make it positive, they also take it out of context. You have girls calling themselves a DIVA while they sit home and receive foot stamps, what is Diva about that? Or just because a girl wears a tight slinky outfit she suddently deems herself a diva.
I also want to comment on the fact that BETJ should really be BET. They have better original programming and better taste in music. I feel like BET is really operating under the mission statement of the original BET (like I know what that is, but based on prior BET programming like Teen Summit, etc.), and is really entertainment for black people whereas BET now is basically trying to emulate MTV reality shows and plays horrible music like the Stanky Leg

What is wrong with TV? With Viacom in particular.. First they bombarded people with the Flavor Flav show, Flavor of Love. Then it was Rock of love, For the LOVE Of money. Fuck LOVE! OR at least the Viacom STD filled version of LOVE! I guess its really the production company, 51 minds productions fault, but damn Viacom keeps buying them!
The next real chance at love (ha, look @ that!) is for Ray-J, you know, “ain’t that Brandy’s brother” Ray-J, and its called…. “For the Love of RAy-J. Yes, these folks who get paid the big money are so creative. They are getting paid millions of dollars while the people responsible for teaching our children. WTF! This festival of famewhoring begins on Feb 2nd.. Basically a bunch of random chicks searching for reality TV fame are competing to be the “ride or die” chick for the dick that banged Kim Kardashian. (side note: I heard that the sex tape was ok… that his tool was noteworthy…).
This skanky version of the Bachelor will be filled with all types of Tom Foolery I’m sure. Ok, Let’s go over the names of the unlucky 14 clinic patients. Why do they need to give all these ho’s nicknames? And who the hell thinks of them? What ever happened to just being Nancy Sue and being calling you that.. Nicknames have to be earned, or at least to me. I hate when I just meet someone and they are like can I call you XXX for short.. I’m always like NO, you can call me XXXXXXX or nothing at all…
(pics can be viewed over on VH1)
1. Atomic Bomb-she kinda looks like Hoops from Flavor of Love season 1…
2. Cashmere
3. Caviar: why would you want to be associated with fish no matter how expensive it can be…
4. Cocktail: raging drunk of the house?
5. Danger: pretty girl who fucked up her face with a tattoo… Now I love tattoos, have 3 and will prob get more, but NEVER… EVER!! on my goddamn face!! she should have been named stupid..
6.Fiesty
7. Genuine: standard plus size girl…
8. Hot Cocoa
9. Lil’ Hood: why do people continually want to be associated and stigmatized as hood? NEWSFLASH: HOOD PEOPLE DON’T WANT TO BE HOOD!!!!!
10. Naturalle
11. Stacks 12. Stilts
13. Unique
14. Chardonnay: ???? word??
If you want to lose some brain cells.. go ahead.. watch.. but please.. when your eyes begin to bleed.. don’t call me…

Late last night, somewhere around 1 am I was going between VH1 Soul and BETJ listening to music. I usually stick to Vsoul but I had already seen this episode of the show they were airing-Soulfrodisiac, so I was flipping. And after some video went off for some whack song there was a video short for some show called HoodFAB. So, I’m watching the premise and basically some guy tests your hip-hop trivia against a hip-hop artist and if you do well, you are “hoodFAB.” It boasts itself as being America’s”brokest” game show, giving out prizes like a pack of tube socks to the winner. It’s hosted by some guy named Buttahman who should really be named buttahface. He is kinda gross looking… OK, maybe not gross but he isn’t that pleasant to look at. And serious, you are on MTV, how broke is your show?
WTF is this kind of blasphemy. First of all, why are people glorifying the use of being considered hood? I thought people didn’t want to be hood? What is this new epidemic where being hood is glorified. It’s one thing to want to be ‘tough’ but another to want to portray a lifestyle that people try get out of. And personally, I’m offended at MTV’s use of this. They even have another show called “Dances from the ‘Hood.” WTF! Hood doesn’t have a positive connotation. Are you telling me there were NO other names you could come up with for a show about hip-hop dancing? This is the description for this MTV short ” This aintcha mama’s aerobics tape. Tweetie and friends walk you through the hottest new hood shuffles.” WTF!! AINTCHA???????? Really? Yeah, do you show that after Trailer Trash Topics? Or in between Cracka Countdown?

Spotted this story last week, but I didn’t want to comment until a verdict had been reached. Apparently you haven’t made it until you’ve been sued by someone claiming you stole their work. The latest contestant on “Is that really yours?” was Tyler Perry. Donna West of Texas felt Perry lifted material from her play “Fantasy of a Black Woman” which was performed 3 times in 1991 in Dallas. she claims Perry could have lifted her script when he presented his plays at the Dallas Black Academy of Arts & Letters in 1998. Jurors ruled that she didn’t provide enough evidence to support her claim of copyright infringement. Perry insists that his play is an original work.
So, while I may not be a super fan of Tyler Perry and his Madea characters, I think people always want a piece of the pie. Personally, I think her claim is probably bogus. I support my view by saying, based of title alone (and we should never judge a book by its title alone, lol) they don’t sound like there could be a resemblance. Fantasy connotates a positive experience. I fantasize about my future job. Fantasies haven’t happened. Diary of a MAD black woman screams anger and frustration. She is not fantasizing about her pain, it happened or is happening. And if his play really ripped your’s off, why didn’t you start this petition before it made its way to a major motion film? Her lawsuit wasn’t filed until 2007 and the movie came out in 2005… which means the play was out since when, 2001?
And, any good copyright lawyer knows that ideas cannot be copyrighted nor can titles. Maybe, just maybe, her play had the same general idea as Perry’s. But she doesn’t own that idea. Anyone can take that idea and put th eir spin on it. That’s like saying the producers of Fresh Prince can sue Perry for House of Payne because they created the image of a well-to-do African American Family who let a relative come live with them. NO. Or Martin can sue him saying he dressed up as woman first to make people laugh. NO. Or Eddie Murphy can sue him because he played multiple characters in a film prior to him.
People need to stop being crabs in a barrel sometimes. I am all for protecting your work, and getting what is rightfully yours. But I feel this may have been invalid from what I’ve heard of it. IDK all the juicy gritty details, but who does?

Blazing across the internet the past day or so are articles/blogs in response to a CNN article asking, ‘Are you afflicted with ‘Tivo Guilt’? Now, I have no problem with this question, in fact it might be valid, however what they define as TiVo guilt, which we will now refer to as DVR guilt because thats what I call it and TiVo isn’t anything more than a brand, isn’t what I would define as guilt.
The article says that DVR guilt comes from providing users with more than they can watch, and is “turning a joy into drudgery.” Apparently its the age old problem of biting off more than you can chew. With the option to now record shows, sometimes two in the same time slot people are recording shows that they have no intent to watch. OR even if they do want to watch them, they don’t have time to because they’ve let them pile up. And this leads to TV watching now becoming like homework. And apparently this is something that has been around since the ever growing popularity of DVR because a “quick Google search offered articles using the phrase.” OK. Google has articles on everything, so I don’t think that is a valid source. I can Google jdkslau and get six articles more than likely.
So apparently having infinite choices and infinite “opportunity costs” is a bad thing when it comes to TV watching. When people record all these shows, they feel GUILTY about deleting them without watching them. I find this to be horribly stupid. DO you feel guilty when you stop watching a show, especially if it became uninteresting? Usually, no. But now that you’ve set your DVR its a problem? Wow. Guilt.
Now, let me tell you my definition of DVR guilt. Many have said that DVR usage has hampered with TV ratings. It was said that if you record something it only gets counted if you watch it within 24 hours of the original airing. That provides a problem for me. I very rarely do that. So, it sucks when a show that I really do like, and watch avidly and I know other people do too, gets canned due to ratings problems. That makes me feel guilty. I like to let shows pile up and watch them all later, like a rainy Sunday afternoon I can watch 4 episodes of Grey’s Anatomy. Or perhaps Gossip Girl. I didn’t start watching that show when it first premiered, so while I caught up with the previous episodes online I let my DVR do the work of recording the new ones. By the time I was caught up with those I had all new ones waiting for me. Sometimes, waiting for the next week is nerve wrecking, which I felt this season waiting for each new episode of True Blood.
So I guess the answer is yes, I do suffer from ‘TiVo Guilt’. I am guilty of contributing to the downfall of wonderful television programming. Perhaps TV monitoring should work on that, for instance I think DVRs should count as a person watching. I mean, technically I guess I am “tuned” in.

November 26, 2008
I have been watching Desperate Housewives pretty regularly since the 2nd season. After becoming engrossed in the second season I got myself acquainted with Season 1 and the characters. Gaby being the ex supermodel turned bored suburban housewife. Susan is the clumsy lovable girl next door. Lynette the over worked mother of way too many kids and Bree, the Martha Stewart next door. I guess you can say Edie is a main character is she is the slut you love to hate. There is something to love in each characters. There are some themes that resonant each season on almost every show-someone is pregnant, someone dies, or some great disaster strikes. Recently I noticed another recurring theme on this show.
At the start of the show, Gaby was sleeping with her gardener who was a high school student. She was being a “cougar. A “cougar” is typically an older woman who sleeps with a significantly younger man. This led to drama in her personal life. Fast forward to this season, where the show has fast forwarded 5 years into the future, here we are with one of Lynette’s many kids banging his best friends mom. WTF is up with Marc Cherry and his infatuation with old women and young men? People say that TV emulates life or if life emulates TV, but in this case which is it. I guess in the case of this show, Desperate Housewives-emphasis on Desperate-it makes sense to have bored housewives who are willing to sleep with young men to bypass the boredom and the realization that their lives are less than desirable.
We see headlines all over the news when teachers are caught having sexual relationships with their students, but what about the numbers of women who aren’t caught. They are betraying their yoga class buddies by corrupting their children. Sometimes, even going as far to say that they love them. I don’t understand how these relationships start. I know sometimes that young boys, and even girls, think their friend has a hot parent. But what could possess someone to cross the line with someone so much older. And what about the parents, they usually have children that age yet they still do it. But if the same was happening to their child they’d be outraged and do eveyrthing in their power to protect them. Are the rules totally forgotten because of “love” or lust in most of these situations. Let all my friends read this, if I have children and I find out that you are sleeping with them, I will cut you. Cut you out of my life, slice you up with a knife, and probably cut your tires. Then I am going to tell your spouse. I will tell your children, and then I will post pictures up around the neighborhood so everyone knows that you are a person who messes with children. If I ever did that, I hope someone would bring me public shame also. This is not right.

***Contains possible spoilers for Grey’s episode airing 11/20/08.***
Am I the only one not feeling Izzie Stevens having sex with her dead fiance? I have not been OK with the whole scenario with Denny walking and talking around the way, like he is alive. For those who do not watch Grey’s Anatomy, here is the backdrop:
Denny was a patient at Seattle Grace Hospital, where Izzie was an intern. All hoptie doo, they fell in love, she cut his LVAT wires to move him up on the heart transplant list, something goes awry, he dies. Izzie has a hard time dealing, eventually gets over him. Moved on is dating Alex now.
Denny makes his way back in a recent episode where Izzie has to deal with her actions because the patient she stole the heart from is now at SGH for some sort of cardio surgery I don’t remember. Denny begins to follow her around and reach out to her. And this week, she is battling with it and says to herself this isn’t right, he’s dead, I’m just reliving things we did. So, as a suggestion to prove he’s real Dead Denny decides they should boink. So they boink, the boink so loud they can be head in the hallway by all her roommates. Alex even knocks on the door to tell her to stop flying solo, and she is really all hot and sweaty. WTF. OK, here is the video from Izzie and Denny’s scenes last night..
I’m sorry, knowing someone is having imaginary hot steamy sex with a dead person is creepy. Does this make her a sort of necrophiliac? Even though she isn’t technically having sex with his body, but the idea of being with a dead person is slightly creepy. And Frankly, I like Izzie and Alex’s relationship-they talk shit to each other and have hot steamy sex, and their chemistry has been brewing since season 1. I didn’t like that shit they tried to with having her date George. That was just weird and awkward.
And while we are talking about Grey’s, I don’t like Meredith’s new friend. What is her deal, how long is she here for? I’m slightly glad her surgery wasn’t all peachy and rosy she needs a wakeup call.

I actually wrote this awhile ago, I emailed it to myself on Oct. 7th. I was waiting to see if I could get a video clip of the scene that I’m trying to describe, but my go-to person wasn’t able to do it. If you are interested it comes from Season 2: episode Was it Good for You? Enjoy!!
The other morning I was watching an episode from Sex And The City season 2. In the episode Samantha said something along the lines of, its the year 2000 and sexual labels would be a thing of the past. We’d no longer be gay or straight therefore not defined by labels. We’d be individualists who had sex with people-men, women whoever. And here we are in 2008, damn near 2009 and there is an outbreak of people being “sexually adventurous” and having sex with men and women. Was SATC simply making an observation of what they saw or being a catalyst for what we face now?
Look at celebrities, Lindsay Lohan for example went from accusations of sexual promiscuity to a, although not confirmed, lesbian relationship after battles with rehab. People say its just a phase, but when did this phase in life become the norm? Kate perry-kissed a girl and liked it. Wonders what her boyfriend will say. What is going on, kids are listening to this and being influenced!! My kids would not be able to hear this in my house. But you never know what your kids listen to with their friends and friends usually have a strong influence on children. I just don’t get it with the obsession with sexual exploration.
I have a friend who’s little sister wears “bracelets” or little hair ties on her wrist which signify that she likes girls too! She’s 16! many people now tote the label “bisexual” saying why should they limit their happiness to the hands of one sex?
Don’t take this as a problem with homosexuality, its not. I think people who are gay, who make it known they are strictly playing for the same team are great. They know what they like and want sexually. Either you are or you aren’t. Stop with the sexual greediness trying to guise it as something else. I don’t need to experiment with another woman to know that I need a man to please me. Most men do not kiss other men to know the want a woman. All this sexual exploration isn’t necessary and its confusing. You know have to ask ppl 3 questions before it goes too far: 1. Are you married (bcuz now a days ppl hide it) 2. Do you have kids. 3. Do you have any homosexual tendencies? Do NOT underestimate the importance of these questions. And don’t just listen to their words when they answer, look at their reactions and body language! Don’t leave home without these tools!

Go DL Hughley!
On my mornings new stroll came across this article about CNN giving DL Hughley his own show, some would compare to the Colbert Report or the Daily Show. As you all know, I am a CNN junkie. I watch all the debates on CNN, I catch their morning show, American Morning, I like Larry King even though he’s ancient. I love how he makes people slightly uncomfortable in his interviews, LOL. Anywho, Variety reports that the Show will air Saturdays at 10pm and then again on Sunday in the same news slot. Its predicted that they are gearing to appeal to a younger audience as the elections have bought news to a forefront among the new generation.
I think, sometimes, that DL boarders the lines between slightly corny and funny. He is pretty well informed and I don’t mind hearing his point of view, there are some celebrities where I think they should be seen and not heard, but DL has been pretty cool. I think I remember once hearing his story of how he was in a gang, the Bloods I wanna say, but then he realized what he got himself into after a series of tragic events and now look at him. He isn’t some new comer to the scene trying for his 15 minutes. Now, this isn’t to say that he is without fault, I mean he was in Soul Plane. SOUL PLANE!!! Horrible movie!!
Now, I’m not saying I’m going to watch his show every week, because I’d like to think I have a viable social life that keeps me occupied on Saturdays at 10.. but I’ll catch it, and I am sincerely happy for him. Do your thing DL… Darryl Lynn Hughley (wow, what a country name)
