Tyler Perry's Finds His Marriage Counselor
Jurnee Smollett (who is not seen as often as I would like and is my choice for Shelby in the all black version of Steel Magnolias casting gods :) has nabbed the lead in Tyler Perry's The Marriage Counselor. No costars have been named, but I'd like to send a shoutout to Jurnee on her good fortune!
Shonda's Golden Touch
Someone obviously likes what she 's doing because Shonda has sold her fourth network pilot this year.The latest is The Circle, a soap/conspiracy thriller sold to ABC which Rhimes will executive produce along with creative partner Betsy Beers.
The other three shows Shonda's working on include Gilded Lillys, an untitled drama centered around a male lawyer, and the coming of age series Wildwood.

Love On Top Video
Bey's new video for Love On Top (or as I like to refer to it,"The Pregnancy Announcement Song") is finally here. I like it, it fits the song and I think the throwback New Edition/Jackson 5 moves are perfectly choreographed.
Here's the link: http://music.aol.com/video/beyonca-love-on-top/beyonca/adam:10284259

Review: Footloose
I am a child of the 80's and loved the original Footloose with Kevin Bacon. The movie and its soundtrack brings back good memories so when I found out there was going to be a remake I kinda threw up in my mouth. This movie did not need to be remade in my opinion. Is Hollywood so lacking in ideas that they had to go back a couple of decades and resurrect an oldie but goody?
Well I saw the remake today and was thoroughly entertained. First of all I applaud the producers and director for making the cast more colorful which was not the case with the original. A dance movie with no people of color is like a BLT without the bacon: it just doesn't make sense. The two leads Julianne Hough and Kenny Wormald are both great dancers and decent actors but Miles Teller who played the dancing deficient Willard stole every scene he was in.
The movie had great choreography, two of the best scenes being the country western bar and the high school hangout. And yes it does stick to the original script with a few changes, but the changes are not too distracting. The back story of the dancing ban is given more meat and there is more of an adult presence this time around.
I had a great time and here's hoping the Dirty Dancing reboot lives up to or surpasses the enjoyment I received from Footloose.

It's Coming To A Close!
I can
hardly believe I am about to enter my last term at Kaplan University. To say
the time has gone by fast would be an understatement. It has been a fun filled
albeit frustrating ride at times (yeah I’m talking to you Statistics and
Financial Aid), but a fulfilling one just the same.
I have
had some great teachers and have interacted with some wonderful students. Even
though I have never met these people face to face, over these ten week terms
you do become a pseudo family of sorts.
The
confidence I have gained has been monumental. Just a few short years ago I
thought this part of my life was never going to happen. I thought I had
forfeited all my chances at a college education, and it was a continual thorn
in my side. Thankfully I did go back to school and acquired a mentor who
encouraged me to pursue my online degree. This led me to researching
online programs like Kaplan and a few others.
To those
of you who are thinking about going back to school I say do it! I can hardly
contain the excitement I feel about what’s coming next for me :)
