Evelyn Lozado?

Some folks are pretty pissed with this chick:  

Boycott Evelyn Lozada: Don't support Evelyn Lozada's spinoff show "EV And OCHO" on VH1

Is she really that bad?

HBO's "Girls"

I watched the pilot episode of "Girls" last night.

It's based in New York and is pretty White washed.

Yup...no Black people.

Wait...there was a homeless guy who sang a diddy.

He was Black.

So I thought about it and well, I gues that's not really all that out of the ordinary, that young White girls whose parents pay all of their bills don't have any Black friends or Black people they see on regularly.

I mean...she interned in a publishing house in Manhattan right?

Probably not many Black people there.

I'm sure the apartment they lived in was in an area their parents considered "safe" and that translates to expensive as hell in New York right?

And if they are only dealing with their childhood and college friends and they are the norm...yeah...they'd probably all be White right.

Right.

So yeah...no Black people in THEIR world would be the norm.

They just need to add a Black person as a background extra walking on the street and all will be well.

Now...on to the show.  I'll watch it again just so I can see how she works through this whole, "no money" thing.  

Have YOU watched the show?

Dear Good Morning America:

If I'd wanted to see Katie Couric every morning, I would have been a fan of "The Today Show."

But I wasn't.

Don't even THINK about trying to make any dumb moves cuz it seems like you're TESTING out Couric with George and I do NOT like that ONE.BIT!  Why didn't you put Couric on when George was on vacation huh?

Oh...and NBC...yall have Sarah Palin co-hosting this week?  That makes my breakfast bubble in my tummy. Just...ew and it will be epic "GAME OF THRONES" battling going on 'bout Robin.

We love ROBIN.  Just so you know.

ABC's "Scandal"

"GCB"

I watched this show last night based on the book "Good Christian Bitches." 

It was good and MESSY!

A few things stood out to me.

1.  The main character was a super richie-rich and then lost it all when her husband died in an embarrassingly horrible way.  She was so distraught that she and her children had to move back to Dallas with her mother.  A quote:  "I am NOT moving back to Dallas." said with a shudder cuz, apparently, life there was sooooooooooo terrible. 

That said...when she pulled up to a big.azz.mansion my eyes damn near 'bout rolled out my damn head my side eye was so strong.

Then...when the secret admirer who bought her a big body Benz and $100,000 worth of clothes and accessories turned out to be her supposedly evil mother...like...I was too through.  TOO.THROUGH.

2.  It's yet another new show on television without one.single.solitary Black person in it.

3.  The stuff going on in the church house is going to get the show publicly stoned.  LOL!  Them Family First people are going to go slap smooth off.  I know it, you know it, how could the show not know it?

Did YOU watch it?  What did YOU think?

 

Kelly and _____

 

I've always watched Regis and whomever his co-host was, whenever I could,  for as long as I can remember. 

Regis and Kelly were a good match for me and it totally worked.  Regis was cranky and clueless about anything post 1969 and Kelly was smart and hip.

And she had awesome one-liners.

When Regis decided to leave, I was like...well...okay...next chapter.

And it took a year for him to leave it seemed. 

And I continued to watch.

I watch it now with Kelly and _____ and there are some co-hosts who bring me JOY!  Anderson Cooper?  Michael Strahan?  Josh Groban?  Jimmy Kimmel?  AWESOME.SAUCE!  Howie Mandel and Alec Baldwin?  BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!  Awesome comedic chemistry.

The rest, including her husband?

Not so much.  When Lucy Lui was on...sheesh...it sounded like a junior high school girl's locker room. 

But hey...it's going to take a while right?  Right.

Last night while I was working on something in my brain, I decided to look up the ratings for the show and see how it was doing so far.  There was a quick bump in the beginning as people were probaby tuning in to see what it was going to be about.  Then...it started slipping.

That made sense since I've turned the television off a time or two and I think I'm a pretty average daytime television viewer.

Then...as always when these things take a turn for the worse...I started reading the comments and I got really annoyed.

Back when Kelly was in the second chair after a man...she was considered cute, smart, a wonderful mother and perky.  A little bombshell.

The comments now however...have changed.

DRASTICALLY.

They are completely dogging her out saying she's dumb, anorexic, talks about herself too much, only watches reality tv, talks over everyone, is annoying, is whiny, voice sucks, has no talent, etc.

And the more I read, the more I felt like they were only going in on her so hard because she's the leader now and she's a WOMAN.

Like...She was good enough when she was second to a man, but now she's horrible.

It bothers me the message this sends to people and I wonder if anyone else notices this too.  Women are always side eyed when they're in charge and labeled a bitch.  Men...even if they are cranky and clueless are revered. 

What say you?  Do YOU notice this too?

"The Game" Rundown - Week 2

Well?  What did you think about the story lines?

"The Game" Abortions and Infertility

Melanie and Derwin's storyline on "The Game" is suggesting she can't have a baby because she previously terminated a pregnancy.

CAN WE SAY IRRESPONSIBLE WRITING??????

I wasn't going to say anything about it but morning I was watching "The Bernie Mac Show" (I MISS MR. MAC SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!) and a commercial came on for the next episode of "The Game."

Tasha Mack was in a conference room with Melanie and Derwin's agent.  Seems like they're big time beefing.

Tasha Mack said something like the following without, from the looks of it, needing stitches immediately after:

Tasha:  Won't you go home and cook your husband some chicken and make him a baby.  Oops...forgot you can't do either.

And Melanie didn't move.

There was no B'WHAT or a weave snatch and grab.

Ladies and gentlemen...remember this show is UNBELIEVABLE fiction.  That would NEVER go down like that no matter the venue.  If you were in CHURCH and said some ish like that to a woman dealing with infertility...it would go DOWN-T.

Now...that said...what do YOU think about the message the show is attempting to paint regarding infertility?

"Person of Interest" Confusion

When I first heard about "Person of Interest" I was intrigued.  It sounded pretty good.  I was excited about it.  I like the two actors (dude from "Lost" is scary) so yeah...it was gonna be FA.BU!

I saw this video when I was shooting in Arizona and someone asked me had I heard about it:

Way, way cool right?

Right.

So then I heard about Taraji going off because she'd been left out of all of the promos about the show when she was the female lead.

And I was mad confused and thought I was thinking of the wrong show cuz I didn't remember seeing anything about Taraji being the star of the show.

So I went to the website cuz I needed clarification as to whether or not I had the wrong show cuz I'm a Taraji stan and definitely want to watch anything she's in!

"Person of Interest"

Hmmmmm...same show I was thinking of but...where's Taraji????????

Okay!  HERE SHE IS! 

AND HERE SHE IS UNDER CAST!

Now...I'm even more confused.  Does she have a big part?  I mean...you'd think she did right?  Even though she wasn't in the video about the show.  She's an Academy Award nominated actress but when I ready the synopsis of the show...her character, Detective Carter, doesn't get a lot of play:

PERSON OF INTEREST stars Jim Caviezel, Emmy Award winner Michael Emerson and Academy Award nominee Taraji P. Henson in a crime thriller about a presumed dead former-CIA agent, Reese, who teams up with a mysterious billionaire, Finch, to prevent violent crimes by using their own brand of vigilante justice. Reese's special training in covert operations appeals to Finch, a software genius who invented a program that uses pattern recognition to identify people about to be involved in violent crimes. Using state-of-the-art surveillance technology, the two work outside of the law, using Reese's adept skills and Finch's unlimited wealth to unravel the mystery of the "person of interest" and stop the crime before it happens. Reese's actions draw the attention of the NYPD, including homicide detective Carter, and Fusco, a cop whom Reese uses to his advantage. With infinite crimes to investigate, Reese and Finch find that the right person, with the right information, at the right time, can change everything.

That makes this mystery even BIGGER to me and now...I gotta watch the damn show to see how big of a part she really has.  I mean...is she the detective that comes in during every episode, frowns, flashes her badge and tells everyone she's keeping her eye on them in a bit role or is she an INTEGRAL part of every episode?  Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm??????

Confucious huh?

What do YOU think about this one?

Do you think she's being treated unfairly and being snubbed?  Do you need more information before you come to a conclusion?  Are YOU going to watch?

Question...

Do you think people who say they are doctors on television commercials are really doctors?

"Dexter"

I was watching a Showtime Channel all day yesterday and between every movie was something about the new upcoming episodes of "Dexter."

I don't get down with "Dexter."

Why?

I find the concept disturbing.

Sure...it's interesting...but yeah...way disturbing.

What about you?  Are you a "Dexter" fan? 

What is it about the show that draws you to it?

If you're not a fan...why not?

"The Talk" Replaces Peete with Underwood

I don't watch "The Talk" for a few reasons.  The main reason being I can't remember when it comes on.  The other reason is because it's like a broke down version of "The View."  Do we really need TWO shows in the same format talking about basically the same current hot topics?  I mean...we do that on Facebook, Twitter and blogs with our OWN peers, read articles about it and...watch Whoopie 'nem go at it...do we need another show too?

But I know some folks, whose opinions I respect, watch the show and like it.  They think it's a livable alternative to "The View."  (And seriously...if Barbara Walters doesn't retire soon...Imma hafta stop watching them too.)

They liked the mix of the ladies and Holly Robinson Peete especially since she kinda represents people like a lot of us.  You know...normal Black women.

Erica Bunker broke the news last night on FB that Holly was fired and replaced with Cheryl Underwood.

And my mouth fell open cuz SERIOUSLY?

 

Now hey...I don't think anyone who is not pleased with this turn of events is knocking Ms. Underwood mind ya...I just think it's, once again, a slap in the face as to the TYPE of Black woman that is deemed acceptable.  (It should be noted that Lisa Rinna was fired too.)

What was wrong with Holly?

Did yall like her?

Did yall watch the show?

Was she smart and funny?

What do YOU think it means to replace her with a woman who seems to be the ANTITHESIS of her?

Sad News

Lisa and Ed have called it quits.  I thought they were cute together.  I remember folks saying how REAL they were. 

Thoughts?

SIP:  You know these bourgie broads over here hearing cricket noises right about now.
