TV Scoop: The Ladies of @TheViewTV Debate If @CNN Should Be Saying “Nigger” When Reporting The News [Video]

Wednesday, April 11th, 2012

ABC’s “The View” examines CNN’s choice to use “nigger” while reporting, or discussing modern day racism. When it comes to reporting racially motivated crimes, or alleged racial motivated crimes I should say, often times the racial epithets get swept under the rug. CNN is choosing not to do it by reporting news like the shameful audio tape that reports George Zimmerman calling 17-year-old Trayvon Martin a “fucking coon,”. But some seem to be upset that CNN is choosing to use the racial epithet head on rather than downplay it by using the P.C. terms like “The N Word”.

Watch as the ladies dissect this controversial topic during “Hot Topics” recently. It’s an interesting conversation to have.

TV Scoop @Nightline Talks To @NickiMinaj About Music, Success & Why You She’s Irked By People Comparing Her To @LadyGaga

Tuesday, April 10th, 2012

Nicki Minaj has been crowned the most influential female rapper of all time by the New York Times. And now she’s talking to ABC’s “Nightline” about her monstrous career, her young fan base, and more. Though her real voice is annoying and is reminiscent to a man, I got through it. One of the most interesting parts of this interview was when JuJu brings up Lady Gaga. It seems Nicki doesn’t understand the comparison. To the Jamaica Queens MC feels that if all your basing it on is wigs and clothes then you should try again because she’s not buying it.

We all know different, but I’ll play along for a second — or at least I did for the duration of this interview.

Though I’m no fan–and only because I’m a grown ass man who understands real music versus machine pushed bullshit–I can appreciate what Minaj has done for herself. She’s doing her thing plain and simple! Although her overall fake appearance i.e. teeth, wigs, butt implants, etc leaves MUCH to be desired if you prefer a natural woman. #justsayin

Enjoy the video.

TV Scoop: @MarioLopezExtra Announces Saved By The Bell Reunion Special

Sunday, April 1st, 2012

“Saved By The Bell” fans are probably about to go ape shit. The lovable late 80′s-early 90′s high school show exploring high school angst is reuniting! Though details are sketchy, Extra correspondent-turned underwear model- Mario Lopez just tweeted the following tweet moments ago. [above]

While staunch S.B.T.B. fans will be counting down the days, I’m more interested in knowing if “Screech” has been forgiven and will be welcomed back. Remember, Dustin Diamond was unceremoniously cropped out of People Magazine’s reunion special on the iconic show over that sex tape he shot [something I never thought I'd see or hear in my lifetime].

Not for nothing, but you know who is the most excited about this one; Lark Vorhee’s, Dustin Diamond and Elizabeth Berkley. It’s no secret that all the aformentioned careers have stalled compared to Tiffani Amber Thiessen, Lopez and Mark-Paul Gosselaar. #justsayin.

I don’t  know about you, but I know where I will be when this reunion special come to TV. In 1989 I was 10-years-old. So I am very much apart of the ‘Saved….” generation.

TV Scoop: MTV2 Taps @NickCannon And Notable Hip-Hop Stars For New Show, “Hip-Hop Squares”

Saturday, March 31st, 2012

MTV2 is just announced that they are bringing a unique spin to classic TV game show. Hollywood Squares is one of television’s staple program that’s gone through a series of reboots over the years. And now Nick Cannon, along with a bevy hip-hop stars are coming together for, “Hip Hop Squares,”

Per Deadline Hollywood:

The new show will premiere May 22 and star Nick Cannon; Jackass‘ Bam Margera; Kat Graham; DJ Khaled; rappers Fat Joe, Biz Markie, Ghostface Killah, Mac Miller and MGK; and the Pittsburgh Steelers’ LaMarr Woodley, among others. Radio DJ Peter Rosenberg will host, Nicole Lyn as DJ. “The show will refresh an iconic format and create a fun, dynamic series that’s unpredictable, heavy on personality and much more ‘party’ than ‘game show’,” said Paul Ricci, Head of Programming for MTV2. Hip Hop Squares is under license from CBS Television Distribution, which owns rights to the original.

Im on the fence about this one. Games shows only work if you up the cheesy factor. It needs to be borderline corny, but in a good way. None of the aforementioned give me that vibe. Will they be silly and funny like the traditional show? Only time will tell. I’ll be optimistic though.

TV Scoop: @PiersMorgan and @Toure Get Into Heated Discussion Over #TrayvonMartin [Video]

Friday, March 30th, 2012

Part 1


Part 2


In an epic showdown, that spilled off the virtual pages of twitter, CNN’s Piers Morgan and MSNBC commentator Toure got into it heavy on “Piers Morgan Tonight,” just moments ago [Friday Night].

The issue[s] between Toure and Morgan stems from an exclusive interview secured by the talk show host. Morgan talked to Robert Zimmerman, the brother of Trayvon Martin’s murder George, the other day to get his accounts on exactly what happened that left a young kid dead. And it seems Toure was not happy in the way Morgan interviewed him, and took to his twitter page to air out his frustrations.

Never one to back down from a fight, the video was the outcome. Personally, I walked away feeling very disappointed by the two as they squabble over their different interviewing styles. What a way to take an American tragedy and transform it to be all about these two. It’s like the world is run by a bunch of babies.

TV Scoop: ABC News Discovers Zimmerman Surveillance Tape Refuting Claims of “Self-Defense” [Video]

Trayvon Martin’s killer, George Zimmerman’s alibi of self-defense was obliterated after ABC News obtained video from the unfortunate night the 17-year-old was killed. Zimmerman claimed Martin jumped on him, broke his nose and smashed his head into the ground, forcing Zimmerman to defend himself and issue the fateful shot that that ended Trayvon’s life.

The video doesn’t lie. In the footage you can see Zimmerman on Sanford police surveillance tapes being interviewed by police moments after Martin was killed. And there appears to be no evidence of such claims by George.

Per The MiamiHearld:

Zimmerman, a crime watch captain, said he fatally shot the teen in self-defense after he called 911 to report the teen was acting suspicious.

The killing of the teenager who attended Dr. Michael Krop Senior High in Miami-Dade has sparked national outrage.

The video is significant, the teen’s family said, because it appears to show that the muscular-looking Zimmerman is uninjured. It also offers the first public view of Zimmerman since the shooting.

News reports that cited anonymous police sources said Zimmerman told police that Trayvon decked the neighborhood watch volunteer and slammed his head on the concrete. Zimmerman’s attorney Craig Sonner has told television networks that the neighborhood watch volunteer’s nose was broken and he was left with a gash on the back of his head that would have required stitches had he gone to the doctor in time.

Videos don’t lie. This is even more outrageous.
