Karen Black, the amazing and ubiquitous actress who was a 70s sex symbol, passed away after a long battle with cancer on Thursday. Karen Black was 74. Karen Black was in so many movies and television shows that it’s hard to think of what she wasn’t in over the years. There were the movies like […]

That Reese Witherspoon, Al Michaels, and Ms. Witherspoon’s hubby CAA agent James Toth got DUIs within this weekend is news only because of two things: their celebrity status, and how they handled getting the “driving while intoxicated” citation and arrest.

Olivia Culpo is the 2012 Miss Universe winner, and became the first American to do so since 1997 when she was crowned at Planet Hollywood last Wednesday in Las Vegas.

I had the pleasure of meeting the legendary Nichelle Nichols Saturday night at the Arch Angel VIP Star Trek Party in the Windsor Room of the Westin St. Francis Hotel. We could have talked on camera for a good 25 minutes, but in just over 8 minutes, managed to cover a lot of ground in […]

Roger Corman sat down to talk with a group of bloggers and journalists at Comic Con 2012, and what we got was a lesson in how the decision to make a 3D film can take even a legendary filmmaker down a path he didn’t expect.

Nora Ephron, who’s work was so well-known and made such a lasting mark on American Culture, passed away today at 71 years old. Ms. Ephron will be known for many movies, but When Harry Met Sally, the film starring Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan, was her classic work. Here’s my video take:
Newark Mayor Cory Booker, a guest on NBC’s “Meet The Press” Sunday to talk about his support for President Barack Obama, instead talked about his support for Bain Capital and private equity firms. In the process, Mayor Booker almost totally blew the Obama Campaign’s message. The question is why? Why would Mayor Booker do that? […]
Dick Clark died at 82 years of age and of a heart attack today. Remembering Dick Clark, the King of New Years’ Eve, take me back to the late 60s and early 70s, when I watched American Bandstand at a time when most Blacks were told not to by other Blacks. My Mom (or Father […]

The Panasonic Press Conference at the Consumer Electronics Show was full of surprises, from women’s soccer stars Brandy Chastain, Alex Morgan, and Heather O’Reilly and the announcement that olympic women’s soccer would be telecast in 3D, to MySpace’s move to television (of sorts).

Morrie Turner is the symbol of Oakland’s unique way it expresses its diverse culture. The famous cartoonist best known for his Wee Pals cartoon creations, is as much a part of Oakland’s Soul as the Tribune Tower, Lake Merritt, and the Oakland Coliseum. But, even though Turner’s Wee Pals wasn’t ran in many newspapers in […]
As the news of Apple CEO Steve Jobs decision to step down from the post of leader of the iconic company he created spreads, some interesting perspectives on Jobs come out. Perhaps few – well, I haven’t seen one yet – are as interesting as what happened to then “10 or 12” year old Allen […]
Comic Con is a giant bubble that can block you off from the World’s events – just see my Tout stream for evidence. It wasn’t until I visited the CNN Express Truck on Saturday that I learned famed singer and favorite of mine, Amy Winehouse, passed away. Russell Brand, who blogged a great post at […]
