I didn’t recap last week’s episode of Real Housewives of Atlanta (RHOA) but cliffnotes: Apollo is a jerk, Kandi’s mama is still a fool, Kenya is living in a tiny hotel room and Porsha is heartbroken. With that being said, let’s talk about last night’s episode. Phaedra’s Silence and Peter’s …

Last night was the American Music Awards (AMAs) and I already wasn’t really looking forward to it. I really only watched because of Twitter (as often). Also, I didn’t feel like being nice (a day you can also called “any given Sunday”) so I am here with my questions. I …

All the applause for Ava Duvernay, who directed this episode of Scandal, which made history! It was the first time a Black woman (Ava) directed a prime-time network TV drama created by a Black woman (Shonda Rhimes) and starring a Black woman (Kerry Washington). AND IT WAS PHENOMENAL!!! THANK YOU, …

Oh Real Housewives of Atlanta (RHOA). I enjoy you so… Kandi-Coated Hateration – Kandi is talking with her business partner, Don Juan, about how her mother doesn’t support her getting married to Todd because she’s basically afraid that the money train to her will stop. To Kandi’s surprise, Don Juan …

The Best Man Holiday was released in theaters this Friday and it beat Thor in ticket sales that day. But Thor came from behind and earned $38 million for the weekend, edging out BHM’s $31 million. I (and people who use logic) expected the film to perform well because there’s …

When I think of The Best Man, I remember the golden age of Black Hollywood. The 90s were awesome for diversity in entertainment (music, TV and movies). The film was part of a decade-long cluster of great coming-of-age stories that was BY US, FOR US but still relatable to everyone. …

Last night’s episode of RHOA had Kenya looking a fool as usual, Porsha in an alter-ego wig and Kandi’s mama Joyce doing the most with the least. And we got an education in how serious fibroids can be from Cynthia’s struggle. Let’s get into it! Paparazzi Princess – Kenya emerges …

Episode 6 of season 3 of Scandal was called Icarus. I’m a fan of Greek Mythology and I immediately recalled the story of the man whose father created wings so he could fly but he was warned not to get too high. He kept flying higher and higher and he …

A couple of days ago, it was revealed that veteran actress Khandi Alexander will be playing Olivia Pope’s mom, Maya Lewis on Scandal! It was an unexpected choice but an excellent one. Most of us didn’t e’em think about Khandi as we threw around names but when a little birdy …
