Movie to reconsider ::: Hoodlum


A gangster thriller with a bit of style,taste, and a grace that is eloquently defined. Touching all the main points of Sun Tzu while bringing you into the world of Ellsworth 'Bumpy' Johnson, a Harlem Racketeer, running numbers in the 1930's. Bumpy Locks Horns with Dutch Shultz( Tim Roth) and Lucky Luciano (Andy Garcia). Bumpy tries to carve out his own niche in Harlem, during an era of Prohibition Booze and numbers.

Hoodlum takes time to tell the story in a well crafted acting event, in which Laurence Fishburne gives a performance of a life time, as the calculated, but cool headed, Bumpy Johnson. Although it does not build up to the emotional punch that you would like in a gangster thriller, it provides a look into history, and a scope as to who mentored Frank Lucas, Lead character in the American Gangster Saga, where Clarence Williams III picked up the Character of Bumpy Johnson in his ripe old age.

Hoodlum also stars, Chi McBride, Clarence Williams III, Cicely Tyson, Richard Bradford, William Atherton, Loretta Devine, Queen Latifah, Vanessa Williams

Rihanna taking a day off...


On a day off in a pair of red sneakers and gray sweatpants, the woman is still hot. There is no question that Rihanna has staying power. I see her in a few films by the end of 2009, an album that tops good girl gone bad, and a guest appearance in my dreams just about every night. Sorry honey, she does that thing to me, that Angelina Jolie, beauty thing to me.



Aretha Franklin still searching for R-E-S-P-E-C-T...


My mother grew up on Aretha Franklin and every other woman I have ever known, and they would tell you how much they love her music. However I spoke to a few women as of late and I wanted to get their take on this. I needed a female perspective in order to rant this properly. In my search I have uncovered there may be more than meets the eye on this one. First keep in mind that the two come from different Genre's of music.

Aretha is a soul Singer, Tina Turner is a Rock&Roll singer with soul, two different Genre's, however being that they are black, Aretha feels the need to make it clear that she is the reiging African American female artist of her generation and of 'Black Music'. If is Soul, Aretha is 'Queen', if it is Rock, Aretha is 'Queen', you see where this is going?

The possibilty is, that it does not matter to her mind set when it comes to being the queen. It the same as going back to the queens country and saying you are queen, it would be your best interest to declare of what before you utter the word 'QUEEN'.

So Aretha is pissed at Beyonce for announcing that title with the name Tina Tuner, following behind it, at the Grammy award show Sunday. Matthew Knowles, Beyonce's, Father/Manager, had this to say, "Something this ridiculous – it's childish, it's unprofessional," he stated on tuisday in a statement, "And it's a sad day when egos get bruised because somebody used the word king, queen, prince or princess."

The way I see it; two things me be teh matter, Tina got a chance at Aretha's man toy at one point, or Aretha does not allow any other women to have that title as long as you are within her color spectrum.

Just speculating, but tell me what you think about this matter, leave a comment.

Britney spears :::: Bryan Spears in control...Now?!


The plot thickens and Bryan Spears has been thrown into the mix of things. He has been names a trustee to his sisters 100 million dollar estate. The pop singer has been deemed unable to manage her money, due to her current mental health status.

Along with her brother Bryan; Ivan Taback, a partner in the personal planning department of the New York-based law firm Proskauer Rose is a named Co-Trustee. Between the two of the men, they will have the autonomy to handle the pop stars funds as they see fit. According to People online, they will use the monies for the "continued security, medicine, food, other day-to-day expenses and for psychiatric and other medical services," according to court documents.

The two men gained control, due to a clause in Britney Trust, stating if Britney stops being a trustee, then the two must step in as Co-Trustee's, "then Bryan Spears ... and Ivan Taback may act as successor co-trustees under the trust "

Britney has been stripped of her trustee status because she has been declared "legally disabled", to manage her own trust. This was done by the court, which also extended her father Jamie's co-conservator role until March 10, 2008.

However you need not worry, that the outsider from teh law firm will take her money and spend as he wishes. The agreement require, "unanimous consent", so neither Bryan or Ivan can act alone in the spending of her monies.

Nelly :::: Apple Bottom 5th year anniversary

Photobucket
The celebration has Kicked off and Nelly clothing line Apple Bottoms has made it through 5 years. His Vokal Clothing line, made for men, did not make it through, as well as this line of clothing. I personally think that is was not slick enough. It was easier for him to highlight that one part of a female, but he could not seem to make clothes that fit the man, they were for boys, and I think Apple Bottom jeans are for girls, but then again you have many 30 year old women attempting to recapture that youth, at times even 40.

Gary Coleman has yet to consummate his marriage



This is the most Bizarre thing to happen since Flavor Flav came back to Television for a 3 season. Gary told the Insider that he has never had sex with his wife, who is 22 years of age. That will never happen legitimately.

1. He will pay for it to happen
2. She is part of a bigger scheme and this is a show
3. It is all too bizarre to imagine anything else.

As far as I know(feel), she is not going to give him any of that sweet, that nasty, that Gushy stuff. Do I hear publicity stunt to earn him his reality show credentials. In his case, the star is not going to return to the art of acting, but at this point in his life, is worth a few more million in front of the reality lens. So why not take a stab at it? Good luck Gary!

ANTM ::::: Where is Yohanna House?

AMTM alumni recently took the time out to talk with EW, about the after life of Americas Next Top Model. In hopes to fill in the fans of the show on the whereabouts of its famed models.
Photobucket YOANNA HOUSE; who was the face of the CW Launch, and currently working on being the face of the "N", Home of shows such as Degrassi the next Generation. The model will host a show, Queen Bees, which reforms mean girls. The model, who herself has gone through transformation over the years, can relate to dealing with mean girls, as she was teased growing up as well. Yoanna, stated that: ''I wasn't so much bullied [in high school], but you know that I wasn't popular,'' which we learned the reason as to why in her back story in Top Model. The model also had this to say, ''Getting to the core of why they're so vicious, making them go through therapy, it's really funny. They end up living in what basically looks like a rehab facility decorated by Mary-Kate and Ashley.''
What she looks like today, may be the prime reason many can not make out who she is. Yoanna House has gone through some transformations over the years. She had this to say, ''It's great as a model, you can change. But of course, you always have people saying, 'That's too much. That's too little.' I was ginger for a while, then everyone thought I looked like Lindsay Lohan, so we had to change that.''
So there you have it and now are caught up with the beauty, with fierce features, and subtle innocence wrapped into one complete package.

Negotiate new SAG contracts now or lose power...


(FROM VARIETY) — "George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Robert De Niro, and Tom Hanks have banded together to urge the Screen Actors Guild to begin its contract negotiations with Hollywood producers quickly and thus avoid a strike that would further hold up development on movie projects."

Many of these projects has been put on hold do to the Writers 100 Day strike against the heads of industry. Now that the strike is over, the other areas that have been affected by it, needs to utilize this time when the ink in the pens are still hot. George Clooney urges, that the A-Listers wants SAG to begin negotiating contracts and get the ball rolling. SAG is sluggish to do so and beg to differ, feeling that a wait on negotiating will grant them more leverage, when they finally sit down to go over terms.

EW Reports :
"The SAG contract expires June 30, but talks have not yet been scheduled."

George Clooney States: ''I think there's a lot of strike fatigue, and I think you actually start losing negotiating power,'' he said. ''I would hope we in the Screen Actors Guild get back to the table.''

Girlfriends has ended its eight year run


Girlfriends- a show that has grown from a simple introduction, into a massive tidal wave of sisterhood, a bond the very few have been able to achieve on screen. With a sweet recipe of of mixed flavors, a peek into the world of the educated, causing the busy to set aside time, to watch, in amazement.

With an eight year run, the show can be considered in the book of the longest running sitcoms on network TV, and one of the longest running African American shows to hit television since the Cosby's. However this run has been cut short, with its success and all that show allowed us to see in the world of the African American, Mari Brock Akil, has not won the battle to keep the show on the air.

The CW network released the following information:

“The prolonged strike has changed business conditions and our programming strategy for the balance of the 2007/08 season. To better focus its creative and financial resources, The CW will only resume production on shows that are in consideration for renewal next year. As a result, we will not order additional episodes of the long-running comedy Girlfriends, which planned to conclude its run at the end of this season. This was a very difficult decision for us, and was based solely on the considerable cost to license each episode in an extremely unusual business environment."

So lets bow our head to an achievement well worth the time it spent entering our lives. Read the source of this information on the EW, and tell me what you think.

Nipple Slips The Publicity Stunt Vol. 1 ::: Amy Smart


I am beginning to believe that these nipple slips are staged. Granted that the dress is designed in a way that most women will attest to the fact that this is a possibility. I just don't buy and would not buy it. If you are high profile individual, and know that the paparazzi is around at every turn, if you cared about your private business being established on the books, then you would dress accordingly. You do not catch Babara Walters ( a nightmare it would be), providing us with nip slips.

I look to the future, when the actresses decide to do that nude scene and get it over with. I think these Agents in Hollywood are beginning to hand out any advice they can, no matter how random it may be.







Jane Fonda - Droped a C Bomb on the Today Show..

Jane Fonda stopped by the Today show this morning to speak on the Vagina Monologues and the 15 year anniversary of the production. In to the interview, Jane Fonda began to speak candidly about the production and called it the C*nt Monologues. In which she was only referring to the actual name of the show.

Pamela Anderson is beginning to begile my heart....



Pam Anderson is working hard and pulling in more Euro Paps than Brad and gen in their backyard.

Currently working on her 2 day stint in Paris, she has taken a stroll to purchase some new under garments from Chantel Thomas. I take it she needs them. She may have been cited for walking around Paris with to much to show.

Paris's famed Crazy Horse burlesque house, is where Pamela Anderson will perform her valentine Weekend show, for all those horny couples like Jermaine Dupree and Janet Jackson.

My lady and I could not make it. Although I planed the idea in my head, in reality she would not go for it.

I'll buy that for a dollar!

Brangelina Tops the Forbes most Influential couples list.


Brad and Angelina are the worlds most influential couple. With far from human good looks going around, beautiful children, philanthropy, and great acting as a part of their repertoire, It is safe to say that Forbes Magazine go this right.

Although it was a hard pill to swallow when they put Tracey Edmonds on the list along with Eddie Murphy. Kate Moss and the Doherty dude, and Jessica Simpson, and who? Luckily the Forbes list, was more of an educated guess and they got number 1 right, but the rest are questionable. Since forbes openly admit to throwing together the list based on Blog rantings, and tabloid mentions, I will let them off the hook. They are still my number one source for business related information. Whatever that may be it is. You read for yourself, the link to Forbes is below.

10. Nicole Richie and Joel Madden
9. Victoria Beckham and David Beckham
8. Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo
8. Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake (didn't they break up years ago?)
7. Eva Longoria and Tony Parker
6. Tracey Edmunds and Eddie Murphy (huh?)
5. Pamela Anderson and Rick Soloman
4. Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise

Janet Jackson is up for manage Trois?



Jermaine Dupri has got to be one of the more fortunate men roaming the planet. Janet Jackson hot, and she thinks that certain acts ( if you know what I mean ) are cool, if the two can dig it.

Her new Album Titled 'Discipline' is about the experience of having sex with multiple partners. When asked is she would engage in such acts, such as a threesome, she replied, " I think whatever you're into, as long as you both are into it, it's cool."

Well it is valentines day and I would like to know what you guys think about that: Are you into the kinky behaviors? Don't be shy about your war (love/Sex) stories or plans.

Katie "Jordan" Price is back and flying out everywhere....





I have been to many book signing in my time, but this one takes the cake. I am sure that a cape is not needed to sell a book nor is it requiired that you dress this way. She looks like the lost child of wonder woman and superman. Katie Price, Jordan, whatever you call your self, pulling anip slip at a book signing is not cool. This is getting old.



In 'Jordan: Pushed to the Limit' Katie Price reveals a truly intimate portrait of her sensational, roller coaster life Although happily married to Peter Andre, the past few years have been troublesome for Katie. She has overcome a string of fiercely emotional challenges: she has battled post-natal depression, endured a traumatic miscarriage and continually fought fears for the safety and health of her children and husband. It has all undoubtedly taken its toll on her and placed great strains on her relationship.

This video is compile of many celebrity supporters, and I wanted to give my readers something that held significance that has growth as an end result to being exposed to it.

Cosby Show reunion - Oprah Host this once in a life time event...



When I heard that this reunion had taken place I was ecstatic, to know, I will be able to see the family that raised so many to believe in the family. The Cosby show was then, and still is a pivotal piece in American television. subtleties carried a mission to transform the minds of many, and what it was to grow up Black and Middle class, showing to the world that an African American household existed far above the poverty line. This was not the normal way of portraying the African-American on television. This show was and is till this day the Epitome of Entertainment Politics, providing teh blind eye a glimpse into a world, that has always existed.

See more of the show here in these clips:

Part 2


Part 3


Now I know that most will question the truth behind Lisa Bonet being unable to appear, and I would like to leave the subject alone, but I would like many to know why this may be that she was unable to appear.

Lisa Bonet appeared a film some years back, with Mickey Rourke by the name of Angel Heart. This movie was said to be the reason behind her dismissal on the Cosby show. The movie contained voodoo rituals, crime, and sex. Three elements in which Bill Cosby did not agree with, and felt would tarnish the image of his show. The actress resurfaced in 1987 to do A Different world, a spin off to the Cosby show, maintaining her character, but now off at college. So although her career did not end and character did not end, it somehow created this stigma that was attached to her one of disobedience toward superiors and the wishes they have for projects she is on. Lisa Bonet has done film since, but small parts that did very little to regain that fame she once held.

*** Note that the Lisa Bonet returned to the Cosby show, as a married woman, and that was when raven Simone's Character emerged as a success and began a career for the once young star.


Entertainment Weekly Brief Bio:

Nineteen-year-old Cosby Show star Lisa Bonet was about to headline her own spinoff, A Different World, when she made her film debut as voodoo priestess Epiphany Proudfoot in Angel Heart, an erotic thriller in which she fogged up the lens with costar Mickey Rourke while (fake) chicken blood poured down on their naked bodies. Heart initially earned an X rating, and Bonet only made things worse when she posed topless for Interview and nude in Rolling Stone in the months following its release.

CAREER IMPACT Major. Heart flopped, and Bonet's film career stalled. At the end of World's first season, the newly pregnant actress was effectively dumped from her own series. In September 1988, she returned to The Cosby Show; three years later, she was fired amid rumors of missed rehearsals and on-set tantrums, which she denied. She has made only sporadic film appearances since.



IMDB Bio:


Lisa Bonet was born in San Francisco but has lived most of her life in New York and Los Angeles, where she attended Reseda High School and Celluloid Actor's Studio. Lisa is the child of a Jewish mother and a black father who was a music teacher. Her parents divorced when she was young, and she began acting in commercials at the age of 11. At age 16, she landed the role of Denise Huxtable in the hit comedy series "The Cosby Show" (1984). The show made her a popular actress. In the mid '80s, she met Lenny Kravitz at a New Edition concert in Los Angeles. At the time, Lenny was a struggling, unknown musician who went by the name Romeo Blue. It wasn't long after they started dating that Lisa and Lenny's relationship was all over the tabloids. The two lovers were said to be soulmates, as they both shared a neo-hippie persona and biracial background (Lenny is also half-black, half-Jewish). In 1987 Lisa and Lenny got married (they went to Las Vegas and eloped), and they had a daughter named Zoe in 1988. By 1989, Lenny had landed a record deal and recorded his first album, "Let Love Rule." Lisa co-wrote a couple of songs on the album and was said to be the inspiration for most of the album. Lisa even directed Lenny's first video for "Let Love Rule." But Lisa and Lenny's relationship was full of problems from the start, including intense scrutiny from the media and Lenny's reported infidelities. It was around this time that Lisa made a deliberate attempt to shed her "goody-two-shoes" Cosby daughter image by making the controversial movie Angel Heart (1987), wherein she had racy nude and sex scenes. The backlash from making Angel Heart (1987) is rumored to have prompted Lisa's exit from "The Cosby Show" (1984). But with Bill Cosby's help, Lisa landed on another comedy series, "A Different World" (1987), in which she starred as a student at a historically black university. But perhaps because of her personal problems, Lisa began showing up late for work (or sometimes not at all), and she was fired from the series. She and Lenny separated in a bitter breakup and eventually divorced in 1993. Lenny's second album, "Mama Said," filled with songs about heartache, is said to be mostly about Lisa. After her divorce from Lenny, Lisa faded from the high-profile stardom she had experienced when she was in a relationship with him, while Lenny became more famous than his ex-wife. No longer an in-demand actress, Lisa occasionally made B-movies, many of which went straight to video. In 1992, Lisa started dating yoga instructor Bryan Kest. They began living together and had a child in the mid '90s (son Desikachar). It was around this time that Lisa legally changed her name to Lilakoi Moon, although she still uses the name Lisa Bonet for her entertainment career. Lisa has said that she has deliberately cut back on acting so that she could spend more time with her family. However, she did make a brief return to the spotlight in 1998 by co-starring with Will Smith in the big-budget hit movie Enemy of the State (1998) and had an important role in High Fidelity (2000). Lisa has since become friends with her ex-husband Lenny again. And in an "aren't we all just one big happy family" situation, her best friend is Cree Summer, a former co-star on "A Different World" (1987) who released an album produced by her long-time friend Lenny Kravitz. It was Lisa who suggested that Lenny produce the album, and Lisa directed a promotional video for the album. As of 2007, Lisa lives in the Los Angeles area with her children.

Eddie Murphy/Rick James - Party All The Time and his career Since



After this song played on the radio two decades ago, I figured Eddie Murphy would be the biggest star the world has ever seen. This was not to far from true, he was unstoppable, but I realized after this record dropped, there was a decline in Eddie's art. With a few lack luster films, he'd barely maintained that impact he once made on the world.

Keep in these films in mind; The Distinguished Gentleman, Beverly Hills Cop 3 when I speak of this situation a great comedian has taken on. Understanding that Eddie Murphy has children, and needed to clean up his image a bit. However this was a detriment to his art. I do not want to sound critical, he has done a great job with Life, Nutty Professor 1&2, Harlem Nights, Boomerang, Coming to America, the first two Beverly Hills Cop films, 48 hours, another 48 hours, Trading places, and Raw. Once you take a look into when these films were produced, you will see a gap in creativity, and it is as if he is the same guy in each film.

I would like to see Eddie, take on more roles where he applies more drama, the type of character performances that he displayed in Dream-girls. I think he has more in him, and now that he has the press all over his every move now, this would be a great time to pick or produce his own film, he has a talented brother in Charlie Murphy and I think the two together would work great, but they have to dig deep into their hearts to give us an authentic performance.

Well Ill be ::: Soulja Boy is not a lyricist, he is an entertainer!



Soulja Boy has finally come out and stated his rap status, I am not a lyricist, I consider myself more of an entertainer," the rapper stated. Maybe down the road I will focus more on that aspect of it all, he declared. Perhaps so, but what about all the damage that is being done in the meantime? I do not want to sound uptight but what the heck, are we going to do in the meantime? Well I declare this, Nas Hurry up and drop your album already, Mos Def/Talib Kweli drop another Blackstar record, Jay-Z, I dont care just hock spit, and barf on your next record with a few key points about the current state of the rap industry, Eminem run your 8 miles a day to lose the weight, and get back on tracks, please. The music industry needs balance and quick, I prefer sitting through another limp Bizkit album than here superman that oh(ho), one more time, YAAAAAAHHH.

K-Fed is a true Thespian; deep in his dreamscape

Wow, K-fed, is all I have to say. I am impressed that you could put so little emotion or character into your lines. It is beyond what anyone would have expected, from a 0 -1 I give you a 0 1/2, I look forward to seeing you bring you craft up about 40 notches. Keep up the good word.

Look at how the glow from her smile can warm the hardest of hearts. Do not let a bad day on the carpet fool you, she is the the mayor, of my top 100 list, in the running for governor, if she can take the time, to show other women up on the candids.

Barron Hilton is following Sister Paris's footsteps, or skid marks you decide....



The Hilton name will go down in history as such. World class accommodation, a Hilton to stay in where ever you need one, and lots of booze coupled with drunk driving.

Younger brother Barron Hilton of Celebutante Paris Hilton decided to pop his cherry and go for the gusto. Barron Hilton has been arrested for Driving under the influence along the pacific coast highway. The charge is a misdemeanor, and bail has been set at 5K, which I am sure he can cover with out batting an eye lid.

Barron has solidified his name with club hopping as of late and it's reported that this was the next step in his coming of age, reports Bauer Griffin.

Thriller 25 in stores now....Heeee's Baaaack.


Today marks the day that the biggest selling album of all time is making a go for round two, to affect a second generation of music enthusiast. This album as recently reported will carry with it a revamped session; with artist collaborations that will be more than likely to bring generations Y & Z up to speed. They will be in the know as to what the pop phenomenon known as Michael Jackson, and more so, the album it self Thriller, is all about.

With over 50 million copies sold worldwide, MJ was a star to reckon with over the past 3 decades in which, one of them he owned the charts across the board. So it will be nice to see what he will do this time around and to see what type of affect that this will have on the current youth, and if it has a large impact will he re-release BAD? It would be nice to see what the artist would do with the songs on that album.

Heather Mills, wants the Skin off of Pauls back....!



It has been recently reported that Heather Mills, wants everything to be made public, from her marriage to Paul McCartney. The Divorce trial, is desired by Heather; to take place in the public Forum, by way of the media. Her desire is to make public, the type of person Paul McCartney is behind closed doors. If this is allowed; the press will be free to publish the issues that are raised, and the details of the arguments, brought up within the court.


“Heather wants to make the history of their relationship public,” states a source. "She has continually said she wants to reveal her husband’s violent past. The publics negative perception of her has been a constant source of distress to her and she hopes going down this route will change that.”


As far as I see this, whatever Paul may have done or not have done, Heather was burned really bad and needs to air this relationship out. I do not see any other reason, as to why a person would request a public hearing on an individual who lives a public life. Do not forget this is Sir. Paul McCartney, this means the guy have been knighted. However I do not think that matters, however pointing it out is what I am here to do. Welcome to the real Politics and this may be entertaining.

The court, this week will determine how much of Paul's 825 Million Pound fortune heather mills will cart away with. They have been unable to reach an agreement in recent preceding and Sir. McCartney wish to silence the public display of Heathers opinions of the relationship.

Well it all commence today, and we will see overtime how this all unravels so stay tune and I will be back.

Photobucket

The year is wrapped up and we must begin our quest, aiming at another 50 years of great music and not so great music. With the hopes in-between we can find songs and albums, that are worthy of honorable mention and that will carry a torch to the generations that follow.

The Music of today carries a pattern of fusion, that no other generation before it was able to maintain, long enough to realize the impact of mixing styles. With country artist rocking out, rappers crooning on their own songs, and Rock stars rapping in between hardcore synthesized strums, Violinist reinventing the classical approach with a musical gumbo.



The award show this year; repurchased and brought back the elements, the show has gone down in history as providing,with the time altering performances that forged change. Alecia Keys opened us up with an Old Blue Eyes Classic, that what phenomenal and well timed, to bring together two generations. Kanye West topping his Jesus Walks stage show from his debut album, with this years Stronger and Hey mama (dedication to his mother), the pyrotechnics was nothing short of amazing, Kanye, was reminiscent of Michael Jackson, with the edge of the blue man group without the face paint. Tina Turner, passed the torch (sort of) to Beyonce, and they rocked out together, allowing a glimpse into the timeless nature of Tina Turner's music and how it still has the potency it provided in its first release. Jimmy Jam, the current Chairman of the board to the academy, surprise us by reuniting with Morris Day, his former band The time, and bringing you a piece of funk that is longed for by many. Within the performance; Rhianna was ushered in as the new princess of Pop music, which showcased her entertainer potential. With Herbie Hancock at the helm, maintain his Jazz piano prominence, with a tribute to George Gershwin. Brad paisley, engulfed our ideas of Country music, and reshaped the worlds idea of the sound, with Carrie underwood, doing just the same with her fusion of sounds. Dave Grohl, rocked harder than ever and took maintained the performance momentum. Cirque de solei, in tribute to the Beetles, granted viewers with a visual display beyond our wildest imaginations. Jerry Lee Lewis along with Little Richard, took us back to a period, of music, that was all.rock and roll. Amy Winehouse Topped it off with her performance of Rehab Via satellite.

As Far as acceptance speeches, Kanye did not surprise us, but I can tell you for the first time he was in the right for saying what he had to say. With the artist, giving his speech, and the wrap up music, playing, Kanye, decided to make it clear " It would be in good taste to stop the music right now." The music stopped and Kanye wrapped up as quickly as his emotions allowed, giving respect to his mother. In my personal opinion I did not pay attention to much of the speeches after that. Although I Would say, Amy Winehouse, was a little short of available at the time, if you know what I mean.

50th annual Grammy Awards ::: Nas and Kelis the revolution will be televised

Photograper spotlight :::: Josh Separzadeh

Breakfast conversation inspired by Norman Rockwell

It is a rarity when you can find an artistic-photographer that stands for the principle of making art speak. The voice of Josh Separzadeh is beyond a lens, it is in his heart. With critique in the form of blatant and sometimes abstract, expression, you end up with an artist that redefines and era. I give you a taste of that artist.


It is a coincidence that this photograph is the epitome of Enterpolics.
