Mariah's New Album is coming!...

                     MariahNewAlbum   

As you can see Mariah Carey's Album "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel" is soon to release. Since the beginning of this year, Mariah has been on Twitter letting people know about the progress of this album and some of the people she's been working with to get it done.

Some of the names include Jermaine Dupri, Bryan-Micheal Cox (or B.Cox),  The-Dream (?), Timbaland and a few other surprises.  One of her songs will include her version of Foreigner's "I Want to Know What Love Is". The album is set for release on August 24th.

Nick Cannon should also be selling copies of his new songs at a Walmart and Chuck E. Cheese near you... Sorry, I just couldn't resist...

Vibe Magazine is out of business??...

                     vibeexecs2        
     
Dang, when did this happen? I think I vaguely heard this on the radio, but I cared so less about it, that it totally slipped my mind.  What did they expect anyway? It was a predominately advertisement-based Magazine that was supposed to be about black folks but run by white people.

Don't get me wrong, I love white people. However, having them in charge of a Black Entertainment Magazine is like putting R. Kelly in charge of a high school cheerleading team... eventually it will end badly! 

Quincy Jones might be picking up the company to do an Online Magazine, but I wouldn't hold my breathe. The mag was kind of crappy and I'm willing to bet that the staff just wanted a paycheck.  Then again, we all need a paycheck to survive these days...

So long, VIBE!...

Another Cherie Johnson Interview!...

    cheriej5  cherriejcopytd5

As promised, I recently did another interview with Cherie Johnson to get all of her fans (and non-fans) up to speed on what she's doing and her experiences in the Entertainment Industry...

ME:  Hi Cherie, how ya doin'??...

Cherie: Fine, thank you...

ME:  The last time we did an interview, you mentioned that you Wrote and Produced "I Do, I Did", right?

Cherie:  It was the first time that I produced my own project. I've been a part of others, but this one was mostly me...

ME:  Did it take some doing?...

Cherie: About 3 years.  3 years to get made...

ME:  Now with you being a celeb and having a name in the Industry, do you think that helped or was an obstacle in getting this made...

Cherie:  It definitely helped...

ME: What about getting acting work in the Industry, are there still obstacles?

Cherie:  Yes. Many still can't get past the work that I did over 20 years ago and can't deal with the fact that I've grown up. It's like they don't want to see me in any other way...

ME: You know, that's funny, because I thought that because you've been in it for a while, it should open up new grownup roles that you can play. Especially with this new generation that might not know about you on "Punky Brewster"...

Cherie:  Well, "Punky Brewster" just came out on DVD and most of the people buying it are from our generation and buying it for their kids.  So many see you and still expect to see that girl...

ME:  Now, I've been dying to know about this. Have you thought about doing something like "Dancing with the Stars"??...

Cherie:  No...

ME:  Awww, why not?!...

Cherie:  I'm not into "Reality" stuff. I love Acting, I act.  I do it, it's my job, and then I go home. "The Surreal Life" approached me before and I told them no. I'm not into that...

ME:  The reason why I asked, is because I've seen what that show did for Lil Kim and I have to admit, I love the show and thought it kind of opened doors while she was doing it...

Cherie:  Well, Kim's a Rapper and  being up on stage they're mostly into the limelight. I'm not that into being "famous"... I like having multiple personalities and playing one type of role and then another where I'm crying or something...

ME:  Last time I also asked if you were married or single. Has anything changed?...

Cherie:  Actually, I'm getting married in August...

ME:  Cool, that's cool!  Do you have any other projects coming up to let your fans know?

Cherie:  I have a few movies that I've done that is coming up. Also, I have a few songs that I can E-mail you. They are mostly playing on the radio overseas in German and Sweden. In fact, "Family Matters" plays a lot overseas...

ME:  Is it in English?...

Cherie:  Yes, I can't speak German. They also showed the movie "7eventy 5ive" and "Killer Weekend" over there...

ME:  Do you have a Website?...

Cherie:  Fans mostly visit my MySpace page, so I use that as my website and plus I post up my music there. Facebook is mostly a personal page and people I know mostly go there...

ME:  And, of course, Twitter which is really popular now... Well, thank you for letting me talk to you again. You're awesome for this. Again I'm a big fan...

Cherie:  You're welcome...

ME:  I will post this up at my site and see if I can post up the Trailer for "I Do, I Did" and any other projects you have in the future...

Cherie:  Thank you, and you have a wonderful day...

ME:  You too...

There was a few other things here and there, but this is bulk of our Interview. I like it when celebs are decent and cool when it comes to stuff like this. I might not be big, but like she said to me before "any press is good press"...

I paused for a second when she said she was getting Married. I was gonna try to hook her up with my Brother. Sorry, Bro, maybe we'll see what Tracey Spencer is doing now... He like her, too...

 

 

 Check it out, the DVD will release on August 11th!

What kind of Blockbuster would YOU like to see?...

                                     takethat&that   

Since everybody is so into "Transformers 2" and anticipating the "G.I. Joe" flick, I'd like to know what type of movie would you like to see get made. A Buddy Film or a cartoon? A new type of Sci-fi epic?  A new type of Horror series along the same lines as "Scream"?  Tell me what's what!

And don't just say what Genre you'd like to see take off, give me your own storyline too. Who knows, maybe I got the hookup and can get it made into a real movie...

Breaking News...!!!

               cheriejohnson1     idoididcover
  
Cherie Johnson has been known for playing Punky Brewster's best friend, but to me she is one of the first celeb interviews I ever did. She is all kinds of Awesome and (hopefully) on Friday (7/3), I'll be able to do another Interview with her to help promote her new movie.

The movie is called "I Do, I Did" and will be a DVD release on August 11th.  The story is about a woman who ends up in a coma shortly after getting married and awakens around the same time that her Groom remarries.  Be looking out on Friday and spead the word...

Hardly anyone has been reading my blog lately.  I see they're still reading Perez Hilton, though...

I can't believe that "Transformers 2" is #1!...

   transformeroptimus

Honestly, honestly, honestly what is wrong with you people? Are you so starved for something on the Big Screen that you would flock to "Transformers 2: Electric Boogaloo"?  I have refused to see it because I know it's not worth my 10 Bucks, yet still people went and watched.

Granted, I know folks have the right to do what they want, but in these economic times, we can't afford to waste money on bad movies because Hollywood will keep making more bad movies. You know what the main public review of the movie is?    "Megan Fox is hot!"...

Okay, and...?

Music's Biggest Icon Passes...

              michealjackson

With all due respect for Elvis, James Brown and other musicians, Michael Jackson was unique. Regardless of the Media, regardless of bogus accusations, regardless of the angst of a new Generation, regardless of financial woes, Michael prospered and stood strong as a Performer and Humanitarian...

                            michealKOP2

Michael had love for everyone. He loved to perform ever since he and his brothers started their careers in Gary, Indiana as the Jackson Five. Micheal's star didn't shine as bright until he went solo and eventually created the "Off the Wall" album and with "Thriller" became...

                     moonwalker3

After changing the Game and creating the Movie-like music videos, it started the broadening of minds toward combining music, dance, art and other genres into one for the soul purpose of entertaining the public.

Michael was beyond awesome in my opinion and there will NEVER be another entertainer like him. And I'll tell you one thing, if his health permitted, that SOLD OUT Concert of his would have been Off The Hook!...


Peace, Michael. See you later, man...




Remember The Time - Michael Jackson
