Seems like Gwenyth Paltrow has gone and gotten herself into some trouble. The actress who is a known close friend to super couple Jay-Z and Beyonce, tweeted the n-word while at the Watch The Throne concert in Paris. When celebrity blogger B. Scott questioned her right to use the n-word, she tweeted: “Hold up. It’s […]
Thanks to My927Charlotte listener Sean Goines for sending in this week’s Things That Make You Go Hmmm. 1. On the television show “Good Times,” where did that door in their kitchen lead? 2. On the show “Gimme a Break,” did Nell ever sleep with the Chief? 3. In the movie “Drumline,” did Dr. Lee let […]
During a closing monologue for his HBO show “Real Time,” Bill Maher stated in his typical sarcastic fashion that, “If you’re a Christian who supports killing your enemies and torture, you have to come up with a new name for yourself.” Ouch.

Apparently, the Republicans and Democrats are close to a deal for extending Tax Cuts and Unemployment Benefits. A few months ago the debate was strictly about tax cuts so how did we get to this point? And who was involved in this deal? Or was the Obama Administration working backroom deals again? Republicans don’t want […]
It’s easy to talk trash on the side lines. But playing in the game is a whole different story. Sarah Palin is going to find this out real quick if she decides to run for president. I thought she was just playing around but it appears that she is really thinking about it. The great […]
Jay-Z is out promoting his newest project, Decoded, which is claimed to be a personal narrative, lyrical deconstruction and hip-hop history all at once. It is fitting that the prolific rap artist has decided to write his reflections in the form of a 336-page book. Black boys who aspire to be rappers, and those who just […]
I was so excited about seeing Tyler Perry’s “For Colored Girls” that I got there as the movie ads were running. I was casually watching them, not really paying attention, until they aired the Barbie “I Can Be …” commercial. I was really excited about the message in the commercial, but as I watched, I […]
