Oscar Scoop: The Academy Award “Kanye Moment”….

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Who would have known that Oscar’s would have a Kanye moment. Look I don’t know all the details. Actually I do but, I don’t feel like typing endless amounts of characters when this video I got from Dimewars.com will do the trick nicely.

Apparently these two worked on the project together, they disagreed and a lawsuit ensued. Director Roger Ross Williams tried to be shady and block her from the sharing the once in a lifetime moment.

Definitely a wow moment. Just goes to show you that it ain’t just Kanye who can let emotions take over.

Gabourey Sidibe Didn’t Get The Memo That You Don’t Say “No” To @Oprah, + Precious Scoop!

Sunday, March 7th, 2010

Tonight the Oscars will be bring the world to a standstill — well for some people, so I’ve decided to do a bunch of Oscar themed blogs.

Apparently “Precious” star Gabourey Sidibe wants tonight to belong to her because it’s being reported that Momma Oprah extended an olive branch to the plus sized actress by inviting her to ride to the Academy Awards with the talk show/media queen. But Gabby aint having it:

“Oprah called me and was like, ‘Hey girl, do you want to ride together?’ ” the 26-year-old Oscar contender told PEOPLE at Thursday’s third annual Essence Black Women in Hollywood luncheon.

“I was like, ‘I got it Oprah, calm down. I don’t want to show up with you. [People.com]

Gabby instead is taking her mother to the prestigious and somewhat boring award show. Perhaps Gabby hasn’t gotten the memo that you do what Oprah asks..PERIOD!

And in other Precious news…

The Oprah Winfrey Network announced Monday that it had bought the TV rights to “Precious” from its distributor, Lionsgate. As part of the deal, the channel will also license several other Lionsgate films.

TV Scoop: @Wendyshow & Vivica A. Fox Talk Life, Love & New Boy-Toy Omar Slimm White!

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

Slimm

You already know I was front and center last week for Auntie Viv’s appearance on Wendy Williams daytime television show. The interview was the usual blah, blah, blah. But my eyes and ears definitely perked up when the 46 year-old actress/socialite spoke of her twenty something boy-toy Atlanta promoter Slimm of Plushblue Entertainment.

Why their relationship fascinates me so has yet to be revealed. But I find these two are the roadside equivalent of a horrible car crash that’s crippled my ability to look away.

I’ve reached out to Omar about appearing on the Gyantunplugged TV show, especially since I head dude was working on a tell-all-book. However, his associates have expressed that he’s not too happy with the “negative blogs” that’s been featured on Gyantunplugged.com. Oh well, maybe one day he’ll be up for while the people care –barely. I mean even I didn’t post the unedited photo of Slimm showing his age and maturity level by displaying his pecker off to some chick he used to smash. So if he wanted to see negative I should have happily obliged.  But I digress.

If you missed the interview of Wendy and Auntie Viv chopping it up you already know I got you. Check out Vivica and Wendy chop it up below.

TV Scoop @Oprah ’s Oscar Special BOMBS In The Ratings!

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

Say it isn’t so! After more then twenty years of holding down her time slot on both her daytime and prime-time programs, Oprah’s “Oscar Special” totally bombed in the ratings Wednesday night.

According to site Tvbythenumbers.com Momma O’s television special came in dead last in the ratings as she tried to battle it out with such staple prime-time shows like comedy “Modern Family, and juggernaut “American Idol”.

Per TV By The Numbers:

CBS’s Wednesday comedy block suffered with The New Adventures of Old Christine down 26% from its last new episode and Gary Unmarried was down 17%. Criminal Minds fared much better, down only 3% from its last original outing. CSI:NY was down 9% as Law & Order: SVU gave it much more of a run for the money than The Jay Leno Show ever did, and NBC rose from the cellar to take third place for the night.

ABC had a bad night with The Middle down 28% from its last original outing, and Modern Family down 15%. Cougar Town was down 11%. With a 1.3 adults 18-49 rating, the Oprah Winfrey Oscar Special was 19% lower than Ugly Betty’s last original episode in the time slot. The daytime Queen held no sway in primetime last night.

With numbers like these it’s clear that Momma Oprah’s decision to hijack her show and take it to her own network in cableland was a right one. Network TV is sooooo dead! But I’m gagging that one of the most familliar faces in television couldn’t muster up enough interest to beat an old “Ugly Betty episode

TV Scoop: SNL Spoofs “We Are The World” Remake!

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

SNL spoofed the controversial “We Are The World” remake in true satire fashion. It wasn’t smart for Jennifer Lopez to inject herself into the skit — seeing as though she’s publicly been dropped by her label– but funny all the rest.

W.A.T.W. was a disaster if I can speak candidly. And thank god SNL is calling it out. You know if I do I’m a hating ass blogger.

Interviewing Beyonce Can Be Tough..

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

….just ask “Extra’s” AJ Calloway. The former 106 & Park host caught up with Bey recently to try and squeeze some private info out about she and Jay-Z.

Too bad she wasn’t in the mood and started to get a tad bitchy with the constant attempts to get some baby info out of out. Either AJ just out maneuvered by a well-trained media queen, or dudes lost his finesse –not that he ever had anyway — when it comes to the art of interviewing.

Give me 5 minutes with Bey. I’d crack her like a walnut!

ATL Blog: @BravoAndy By Way of @WendyShow Shoot Down Phaedra Park RHOA Rumors!

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

Are we so desperate for media attention that we’re whoring ourselves out like hookers on the ho strow?

It was widely reported that Atlanta attorney Phaedra Parks was to replace one of the Atlanta Housewives from the hit Bravo Franchise this upcoming season. But its been revealed that Phaedra is not – nor was she ever- a contender to be on the show.

Wendy Williams just broke the news on her hit daytime talk show moments ago where she shared a story direct from Bravo mascot aka Senior Vice President of Original Programming’s Andy Cohen. Cohen says that the rumors surrounding Phaedra Park rumors are 100% false.

I for one am speechless! Parks business has been aired out all over the blogs, her husband Apollo Nida will now forever get the side-eye from EVERYBODY at parties, and the community. And after all that there’s no reality show in the works.

Let’s do the math here: Phaedra + her convicted felon hubby = Epic Fail.

TV Scoop: GMA’s George Stephanopoulos Is No Different Then Bloggers!

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

The interview above proves that its not just BLOGGERS who chime in on inappropriate questions during interviews. Main stream media does it too. Diane Sawyer successor George Stephanopoulos sat down with actor Ewan McGregor about a few upcoming films –stick with me, I’m tying it all together in the next sentence.

Still somewhat green at his job, Stephanopoulous attempted to get his take on a few current hot topics like embattled Director Roman Polanski’s recent arrest over a child scandal that happened before I was alive. And, why McGregor and actor Jim Carey publicly locked lips during a recent event in France.

Check McGregor’s response above. Clearly mainstream media can be just as ridiculous as us bloggers.

Personally, I expect entertainment news and blogs to ask the ridiculous questions in hopes of obtaining a story, but when it comes to “legitimate news media” like the touted upper echelon CNN, 20/20 –and yes Good Morning America– [please note the Fox News snub] –I expect a certain level of professionalism.

Epic fail on that one George. Stick to what you know. Politics and height challenges. #imjustsayin.
