Diva Time With Shirley “Hazel” Booth
HELLO AMERICA—When many of you read that I had been featured in the Broadway play, “The Desk Set” which starred Oscar-winning star Shirley Booth, who is remembered for her hit series “Hazel,” they begged me to hear about my relationship with the great lady. Like many of the stars or those in filmdom or theatre-power, we had our ups...
“HAHN” Recap: ‘Sugar Mamma’
HOLLYWOOD—Benny may have escaped the fire, but that doesn’t mean the smoke will not continue to follow him on Tyler Perry’s “The Haves and the Have Nots.” This week’s episode, ‘Sugar Mamma’ saw Benny gain the upper hand, but he was about to be haunted about what he walked into. Candace was not happy to learn from Leslie that...
“Black Panther,” MTV Movie Award Winner
HOLLYWOOD—She was the breakout movie star of 2017 and it seems she is riding that success into 2018 with a bevy and I mean a bevy of films to come. Who am I referring to? I’m referring to Tiffany Haddish, who hosted the 2018 MTV Movie and TV Awards. For the consecutive year, the ceremony has chosen to eliminate...
“Big Brother 20” Cast Unveiled
HOLLYWOOD—I cannot believe it, we are literally a week away from celebrating the 20th season of the CBS reality-competition series “Big Brother.” I have literally watched every season of this series since it debuted nearly 20 years ago, some seasons much better (BB3, BB6, BB7 and BB10) than others (BB1, BB9, BB15 and BB19). However, the question all avid...
“Incredibles 2” Destroys Box-Office
HOLLYWOOD—It was Father’s Day this weekend, and the multiplex was a popular place to be. The highly anticipated sequel, “Incredibles 2,” nearly 14 years in the making took audiences by storm. I touted last week there was a lack of animated flicks at the multiplex in the past month (which it really was), but this flick totally made up...
“Halloween” May Revitalize Horror
HOLLYWOOD—I have not been this eager to see a horror flick in years. As a fan of the genre, which crafted my interest in the cinematic world as a child, it just seems the genre has been dead for years. Till this day, the 80s was the death of the genre as we know it because so many flicks...
Courtroom Theatrics On “GH!”
HOLLYWOOD—Oh, one would think that after the big bombshell about Henrik Faison came to light that the drama would fizzle, but that ain’t so on “General Hospital.” Why? The courtroom has become an explosive place to see the least as the battle between Nelle Benson and Carly Corinthos has reached a feverish pitch. I teased a slight bit a...
Victor Newman Plays Dirty On “Y&R!”
HOLLYWOOD—The moustache has proven yet again on the CBS soap “The Young and the Restless” that he does not suffer fools well. I honestly thought, Victor being shoved by a flight of stairs by J.T. and nearly dying in the hospital would change him. Nope. This guy is sinister to the core, but I would not call him Bill...
“Ocean’s 8” Lacks Originality
HOLLYWOOD—Hey, what if I told you that a new female caper heist was coming to the big screen. Would it be something that would tantalize you as a lover of cinema? Perhaps, but don’t get your hopes too high for “Ocean’s 8,” an all-female version of the popular “Ocean’s Eleven” franchise that starred George Clooney and Brad Pitt. Be...
Celebrity Engagement Rings!
HOLLYWOOD—In our celebrity-obsessed society, people are constantly craving the latest breaking news about A-list stars. This can mean the super mundane, like what so and so celebrity had for breakfast. But the greatest hype surrounds celebrity relationships-who's dating who or let's face it, who is spotted next to whom, where they are wining and dining, and especially anything to...
