I'm Just Saying...
Angelina's movie 'Salt' was hot to def, though I think she's losing her sex appeal....or is it just me?
Was Alicia Keys ex manager robbing her blind? Well it appears that something was happening, which Is why she's repping for herself now.
Actor Carl Gordon who played "Roc"s pop on the 80's sitcom passed away. He was 78, he was a late blooming actor, but made his presence known. Carl Gordon, who four decades ago, nearing midlife and feeling trapped in a series of dispiriting jobs, heeded a surprising call and became a successful character actor on television and the stage, died on Tuesday at his home in Jetersville, Va. He was 78.The cause was non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, his family said.
To television viewers, Mr. Gordon was best known as the patriarch on “Roc,” a situation comedy about a working-class black family in Baltimore, broadcast on the Fox network for three seasons starting in 1991. In a highly unusual move, Seasons 2 and 3 were televised live, an approach to sitcoms that had been attempted rarely if at all since the 1950s.
The show starred Charles S. Dutton as Roc Emerson, a sanitation worker, and Mr. Gordon as his proud, irascible father, Andrew. So proud was Andrew Emerson that he seeded the family home with pictures of Malcolm X and maintained that a certain member of the Boston Celtics was far too good a basketball player to be a white man:
“Larry Bird was born and bred in Harlem,” Andrew declared in one episode. “His real name is Abdul Mustafa.”
On Broadway, Mr. Gordon originated the part of Doaker, the upright uncle in “The Piano Lesson” (1990), by August Wilson, one of two Pulitzer Prize-winning installments in the playwright’s 10-part cycle about black life. He reprised the role in the television adaptation, broadcast on CBS in 1995.
Rufus Carl Gordon Jr. was born on Jan. 20, 1932, in Goochland, Va.; he later jettisoned the “Rufus.” When he was a child his family moved to Brooklyn, where he grew up in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood. As a young man he spent four years in the Air Force, serving as an airplane mechanic during the Korean War. R.I.P.
T.I. is going to marry that girl from Xscape, WHY WHY WHY...but he got about twenty kids from that broad, so I guess it's cool. She's just hard to look @ and when I do, I keep thinking about the muppet's Miss Piggy, and her show on BET is WHACK hey I'm Just Saying...
The Cincinnati Bengals are proud to announced that they have bought themselves one Terrell Owens for the hefty price tag of $2 million. The one-year deal also includes another $2 million in incentives.
Evander Holyfield and his son have been getting themselves in a whirl of trouble lately. Holyfield’s 20 year old son, Ewin Ezekiel Holyfield, was busted with less than an ounce of marijuana, driving with a suspended license, an expired tag and defective equipment. R you serious?
On the TvONe show "Life After" Aunt Viv set the record the street on Mr. Will Smith...Janet Hubert who rose to fame as Will Smith’s first “Aunt Viv” in his popular Fresh Prince of Bel Air series talks about her experience working on the show, and how they forgot to put that ass kissing clause in her contract.
In Truth no memory is required, with a Lie, the story changes constantly(me)
