I think it was Kylie and Tyga.

The article says that Bobby Shmurda's gun case was dropped, but that the drug charges still stand. #corrections

I watch with a woman who has declared herself my grandmother. She reached over and patted my head when they first started talking, and it made me think of how many generations of women have had the feeling of sitting between their mama's knees getting their hair done like that. Of course I always screamed my head…

Even though it's obvious it continues iniquity. "People" = white people but somehow "black people" has to be stated. That's not a balanced equation, and the whole point of the struggle for African American equality is based on getting the full rights of citizenship and recognized as a person. Additionally, in the…

The best thing about watching Empire last night was watching with my octogenarian neighbor, and hearing her yell, "Cougar!" at Naomi Campbell after the scene on the pool table. They are both pretty damn cool (my neighbor and Naomi).

Which is why they brought in Aisha Tyler toward the end for a multi-ep arc. They sucked at showing any kind of ethnic diversity.

I thought about that. But it was just too weird not to comment on it.

Isn't Mark Twain the Mark Twain of American comedy?

I'd be a lot happier if he made the announcement and disappeared to do penance. I don't want him in People Magazine or on TV talking about it. 1) if there is genuine concern about opening old wounds for the "only" two other women who were molested then WTF does he think seeing their molester in print and on TV…

No one literally says give me a prize but a lot seem to think it's appropriate, when their Black friends are angry, grieving or seething to say, "*I* did blahblahblah" in the same tone as someone who wants a prize. One of my good friends who is a good white person says, in response to these same situations, "how do…

I can attest that displaying your university logo doesn't help, at all. I was wearing a school logo tshirt and jeans, standing on a street corner in my home town, waiting for one of teenaged male cousins to get off a bus so I could walk him home. Two different white males told me to move on because they assumed I…

In Shonda's defense, she didn't say anything about it then. But lately has been asked specifically and I guess she felt like firing some shots. And for some reason that doesn't upset me and makes me think of her dancing around her office with her two daughters to "No Flex Zone" a la Solange.

I really hate to be in the position of defending a Kardashian. That said, my mother and her friends always referred to themselves as our primary role models. But they were usually talking about things like voting, demonstrating and teaching.

Don't you think it may mean that there's way more than the Emmy story? #teamshonda

But the assholery on Heigl's part was so long and epic and wasn't just the whole Emmy thing. She said and did so much more, including, I recall, complaining about the shoot schedule on Live with Regis & Kelly when it had been rearranged to accommodate her (because she was making a movie at the same time as starring…

She had a really great plus sized line that came and went. I always wondered why she stopped it.

I liked 8Mile the first time they made it, when it was called Purple Rain.

Yes, Hatereatha. YAAAAAASSSSS!

Yeah, when you get to legal status . . . it's kind of a whole new reality.
