Neneh Cherry's "Manchild," a classic...



Neneh was way ahead of her time, this song came out in 1988 (23 years ago!) and still sounds pretty fresh. I listened to her entire CD "Raw Like Sushi" recently and it has held up remarkably well over time. She was a trendsetter, I think Kelis probably took some tips from her. That towel on her head was an actual British style back in the day. I still love this!

Casey Anthony Mask


I can't believe this is actually available for sale. It really is just in poor taste. To me, it looks more like a Casey Anthony elf (like from Lord of the Rings). Anyhow, here is a look at the ridiculous thing. If anyone shows up at my door with this stupid mask on Halloween, they most certainly won't get any candy. Don't buy this!

Girlfriends "The Movie"


I really miss Girlfriends and I want this movie to happen so badly. It seemed so rude to the fans that we were not given a proper ending for the series after 8 years. With the recent success of it's spin-off show "The Game" on BET, it seems like there would be enough interest for some type of film or TV movie to tie up the series. According to the Girlfriends Wikipedia page, there has been recent interest in the show and a Facebook page for the series has been set-up to see if there is enough interest still to further the series (it currently has 90,000 likes).

I'm sure that the shows writer/creator Mara Brock Akil would have already had a perfect ending planned before the series was ended. They could even bring back Toni (who left after the 6th season) for the movie. I'm sure the cast would like to see this happen as well. The show is being shown so much in reruns that I'm sure that it has a new fan base just from the reruns. I just thought I would throw this out into the universe.

Creepy "Wildfire" video by SBTRKT



This video is really creepy in a "The Grudge" or "The Ring" sort of way. The special effects are eerie to me, but I still couldn't stop watching it. The song and video are pretty awesome. Take a peek.

Mystery of Dead Woman in Public Pool for almost 3 Days...

This was on the news a couple of weeks ago and I couldn't get it out of my head. It really blows my mind that no one saw her at the bottom of the pool (and the pool was completely busy!) I think those life guards should be let go, especially if someone had told them that a woman went down the slide and didn't surface. They must have barely looked. Please take a look below.

Strange Addictions...Eating Dryer Sheets???

This was so bizarre that I had to comment about it. I saw it on GMA this morning, this lady is addicted to eating dryer sheets. She eats them all day long. Disgusting (or maybe delicious, I wouldn't know). Take a look at the clip below.

Molly Shannon on Jimmy Kimmel Live


I always enjoy Molly Shannon. She came on Jimmy Kimmel promoting a children's book that she wrote and her new movie "Bad Teacher" with Cameron Diaz. She fascinates me because you never know what she is going to do or say. She is a complete wild card and always interesting and funny. She has funny stories about her dad when she was growing up. Here's 2 out of 3 of her segments with Jimmy Kimmel.

Bjork "Crystalline"



The first single "Crystalline" from "Biophilia" has been officially released. It is interesting enough, it has grown on me with time. I find myself humming the lyrics after a while. I appreciate that she is always original and really sings about what she is feeling at the time. Rather than following musical trends in order to sell records, she still manages to keep her artistic integrity. The song is about rock crystals growing in the earth (who else would be singing about that?) Her new look is kind of odd. With that hair, she sort of looks like the Mad Hatter in Tim Burton's "Alice In Wonderland."

Kelly Rowland on the 2011 BET Music Awards



This was no doubt, the BEST performance of the night for me. I've always known she had what it takes to be in the forefront. In Destiny's Child, she was always in Beyonce's shadow.

Way to show them Kelly, she wore out the stage. What an excellent performance (even better than Beyonce's performance). Everyone I talked to agreed it was the "standout" of a rather bland awards ceremony. This year's awards show was both too young and too old at the same time, there seemed not much middle ground between Patti Labelle and Justin Beiber.
