The Blacktress and the "Pretty-Girl Pass"
It can be very cut-and-dry, very black-and-white when it comes to who possesses real talent and who may only be getting acting gigs based on their looks.
I seriously started questioning Our judgment when I heard that Aretha Franklin, the queen of soul, wanted Halle Berry to play her in her forthcoming biopic.

I trust that Ms. Franklin has her own reasons for wanting...

Why The Game mattered to Us so much.
The CW had a gem and didn’t realize it. I started watching The Game from the very first episode when Derwin was the black guy from Leverage and Kelly was some older white woman who TOTALLY didn’t fit like Brittany Daniel fits the role. The premise was fresh, the writing was witty, the situations were real, and the characters… well, we fell in love with them. From...

03. The juice & the junk.
Alcohol and drugs…
Well let’s start with the easiest: I’ve never touched hardcore drugs. The most addicted to anything I ever was, was my nasal spray when I was a child. My Aunt caught me standing in the linen closet sucking that stuff up nose for all I was worth. Needless to say, my allergy problem persisted until it dissolved on its own. My nasal spray smooth taken away. Ha.

01. TRUE LIFE: I'm single and totally satisfied.
Some days Vivian Green’s “I Like It But I Don’t Need It” is my theme song. Some days Amel Larrieux’s “Weary” takes its place.
Single life is significant and constant fluctuation reminiscent of the stock market. There are moments, weeks, months at a time where I am totally and completely content in not having to check in with a significant other all the...
