Michael Steele Added To MSNBC Line Up of Political Commentators

MSNBC announced today it would officially add Steele to it's lineup of political commentators.  The Former RNC Chairman has appeared on variety of MSNBC shows and was also courted by Fox.

A former Maryland lieutenant governor, Steele was elected to the RNC chairmanship as the first African-American chairman in GOP history. Though initially citing him as proof of racial progress by the right, it wasn’t long before many in the upper echelons of the party were calling for Steele to step down. Unable to effectively fundraise for the party, Steele had little internal support for his re-election bid, eventually bowing out to current RNC head, Reince Priebus.

Steele now joins the notable African-American political commentators in cable news, a small group that included Roland Martin, Juan Williams, Donna Brazile and few others. The move is meant to help boost ratings as the network looks to ramp up its election coverage heading into the 2012 race.

Not everyone found MSNBC choice amusing.  Keith Olbermann, former MSNBC host tweeted this:


Alrighty then..

Kerry Washington Will appear In ABC 2012 Midseason Premiere "Scandal" Created By Shonda Rhimes

The Fabulous Kerry Washington and Columbus Short will star in "Scandal" also created by Shonda Rhimes on ABC.  Please see ABC Press Release:

From the creator and executive producers of Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice comes a drama revolving around the life and work of a professional crisis manager and her dysfunctional staff.

A former media relations consultant to the President, Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) dedicates her life to protecting and defending the public images of our nation's elite. After leaving the White House, the power consultant opened her own firm, hoping to start a new chapter -- both professionally and personally -- but she can't seem to completely cut ties with her past. Slowly it becomes apparent that her staff, who specialize in fixing the lives of other people, can't quite fix the ones closest at hand -- their own.

Scandal stars Kerry Washington (Ray) as Olivia Pope, Henry Ian Cusick (Lost) as Stephen Finch, Columbus Short (Stomp the Yard) as Harrison Wright, Guillermo Diaz (Half-Baked) as Huck, Darby Stanchfield as Abby Whelan, Katie Lowes as Quinn Perkins, Tony Goldwyn (Ghost) as President Fitzgerald Grant and Jeff Perry (Grey's Anatomy) as Cyrus.

Scandal was written by Shonda Rhimes (Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice). Rhimes and Betsy Beers (Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice) are executive producers. Paul McGuigan is the director. Scandal is produced by ABC Studios.

It's wonderful to see a network making an investment in a show that centers around an intelligent woman of color.

Rhianna & Britney Spears Perform At The 2011 Billboard Award Show

Rhianna and Britney Spears performed Rhianna's single, "S&M" on stage.  I do think it was a little hot for T.V., and I definitely get the play on words.  But I just think the performance was a little over the top.  I was thinking, didn't I just see Rhianna singing on a Nivea commercial, and didn't I see a innocent baby in it.  I also, noticed Britney Spears is just not the same.  Her moves were stiff and and she couldn't stay on beat. Wait did she lip sing too.  That girl use to twerk it!!  Overall, I think it was a bust after watching the most incredible performance by Beyonce.





Better luck next time ladies

“I’d like to thank my best friend. I don’t want to put you on the spot because I know they probably putting the camera in your face right now but I love me some Jay-Z“.

 

 

I have always appreciated her work ethic and overall personality. She is someone girls or boys,  that are interested in the entertainment industry, should follow more closely.  You can become more famous than you ever imagined, and continue to remain humble.

 

Gotta love it and Congratulation's!

First Lady Michelle Obama Addresses 2011 Spelman Graduates

First Lady Michelle Obama delivered the keynote address to a crowd of more than 9,000 at Spelman’s graduation at the Georgia International Convention Center in College Park yesterday (May 15, 2011). Over 550 graduates received their degrees during Spelman’s 124th Commencement Ceremony.
The nation’s first African-American First Lady also became a Spelmanite yesterday as she received her honorary degree of Doctor of Law from one of the nation’s two historically Black colleges.



Award winning artists and sisters Phylicia Rashad and Debbie Allen also marched in with the class of 2011, as both received Honorary Doctorates.





After a heartfelt introduction by Spelman President, Dr. Beverly D. Tatum, First Lady Michelle Obama Michelle Obama took to the stage and issued a challenge to the graduates.

“I want you to think about all those women who came before you,” the First Lady said. “They didn’t go around pointing fingers and making excuses. They focused on what they did have…their intellect, their courage, their determination, their passion.”

The speech brought many of the alumnae and 2011 graduates to tears.

Pushing the ladies to serve others, the First Lady encouraged the graduates to use the power of their education and networking to change their communities and change their world.
Candice Cannon, a member of South Fulton’s Westlake High School class of 2007 was in disbelief about the day’s events.

“The most touching part of the day was seeing Michelle Obama mouth the words ‘I’m a Spelman girl now’ after receiving her honorary degree.
That was so special to me. She’s joined our ranks!”

Mrs. Obama chose four schools, including Spelman, to address at graduation this year. She’s already spoken to the University of Northern Iowa and will address next the U.S. Military Academy graduates at West Point, and the 26 graduating seniors of Quantico Middle High School, whose parents serve at the Quantico Marine Base in Virginia.

Congratulations to the Class of 2011!
