Remembering Lena Horne

“My identity is very clear to me now. I am a black woman. I’m free. I no longer have to be a ‘credit.’ I don’t have to be a symbol to anybody; I don’t have to be a first to anybody. I don’t have to be an imitation of a white woman that Hollywood sort of hoped I’d become. I’m me, and I’m like nobody else.”

- Ms. Lena Horne at age 80

Check out CNN's Photo essay Remembering Lena Horne. The legacy of this lovely and dynamic singer and civil rights leader will not be quickly forgotten.

RIP Sweet Songbird!

Hollywood Stands Up For Insurance Companies!!

"Obama NOOOO!!!"

"Love Song For Kelis" By Michael Cirelli

Is Michael Cirelli the reason for the Kelis/ Nas break-up? Is he the baby daddy? Hmmm...

"I can see how some might think that your voice
is a milky cherry drowning on the bottom of a chocolate shake
or that holding your cd
next to my face
in the mirror
is the picture of a perfect couple..."

Great piece. Very funny:-)

Stuff I Like: Why Tyra's Fat

Anyone remember when this Tyra-frenzy was the buzz up and down the streets? I re-discovered this piece that I saw live a few years ago. So so good! I don't support the title, which I believe was chosen purely for shock value, but the message is crystal clear and 100% on-point. William Evans rocked this out! let me know what you think...

"you saying
big is beautiful
as in
big is good for you
but im tyra f-ing banks!"
