The Entertainment of Life

Netflix has begun to solidify its niche in the multi-device TV market. As a subscriber of Netflix I enjoy the availability. Watching a show whenever I want is awesome. If you've never used Netflix or are unsure of how it works here's a quick lesson: Netflix is a multi-device TV/movie streaming and DVD company. It allows the user to watch television shows and movies on any device that is able to access Netflix (Smart phones, Tablets, Smart TVs, Video Gaming Consoles etc). It's a pay service that costs about $8.00 a month (for the streaming alone). Small price for access to some of the biggest movies and best television shows in pop culture. Titles like: Orange is the New Black, Arrested Development, House of Cards, Hemlock Grove, and hundreds of popular movies including the Hunger Games, The Avengers, Olympus Has Fallen, and more!


Netflix in the near future will be showing new TV shows including a few from the Marvel camp. Marvel has slated the Daredevil to be the first installment in the Netflix/Marvel TV series. According to Nerdist the show is supposed to be along the same lines as The S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Marvel comic films. It will be apart of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Currently there is no information about the show or its plot has been released but it is supposed to be introduced into the Netflix family sometime in 2015. There is one thing that the Chief Creative Officer Joe Quesada mentioned in a podcast called the Fat Man on Batman:

“There will be some inter-connectivity, much like the movies. They will exist within the cinematic universe again, so this is all the same world as S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers.”

“Although these are superhero stories, this is different now. This is the street level… this is the street level noir side of the Marvel Universe. Something that you haven’t really, really seen in any of our Marvel movies. And probably more ground level, than I think you’ve seen. This is not like us doing Batman, Dark Knight or any of that stuff. This is very Marvel doing street level superheroes.”

So in this series of superheroes they are focusing on more carbon heroes vs a hero like Superman or Wonder Woman; heroes that could actually exist in the real world.

Anyway as I said before the first installment to this partnership between Marvel and Netflix will hopefully be the Daredevil. Some other names for a television show that have been rumored have been Luke Cage & Iron Fist (for the duo and for Luke Cage as a stand alone), the Fantastic 4, and more. But who knows Marvel has always thrown a few curve balls so we'll just have to wait and see. Let's hope they put good stock into the TV shows they produce and make it worth watching.

The beautiful and talented Keke Palmer will be gracing our daily TV screens in her new talk show! Currently the name is The Keke Palmer Project but that is subject to change. The show is being produced by Judge Mathis' production company Mathis Productions in conjunction with Telepictures (the same company who produced Judge Mathis' court show). Keke Palmer's new talk show will center around current events, pop culture, music, fashion, sex, and celebrity interviews. She will also feature "on the street" and undercover segments. But her show also stems from her social media interactions with her many fans. Here's a quote from Keke about her social media interaction:

“I like to read quotes that touch on how I am feeling. If I am dealing with confusion, I will read quotes about clarity and peace of mind. I started posting these quotes on my Twitter page, and the fans responded so positively! I realized that many of them were dealing with similar issues, and the quotes helped to open up a genuine dialogue between us,” 

Keke's new talk show will premiere in July no set date yet. It will run weekdays Monday thru Friday for 4 weeks to test out the market and see how well it does. If it does well it will change the landscape of daytime tv. Keke Palmer will be the youngest talk show host in history (she is 20 years old).


Keke Palmer has several projects in the works for this year and the next. Her new horror movie Drew Barrymore's production called Animal. She's got her talk show of course. She frequently posts Vine videos with the King of Vine King Bach (funniest dude you'll ever see on vine absolutely hilarious). She has 6-episode a stint on the show Masters of Sex on Showtime. She is co-starring in the Queen Latifah production Brotherly Love. And she co-starred in an indie film called Imperial Dreams that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival.

I began to like basketball because of my husband's obsession with the sport. I watched it when I was younger I grew up watching the NBA on TV because of my father and brother. But I only watched it then because I had to. Now I watch it because its an interesting sport. Currently I've been watching basketball consistently for well over 6 years now and I've decided to make my predictions on who will win the coveted NBA Championship this year.


Who's your pick? Who will become the 2014 NBA Champions?

Alicia Keys has always been a favorite of mine. I love her music and she's evolved so much over the years. Listening to her music from her first album to the last is like listening to her grow and change. And now she's got a new single called It's On Again featuring the rap artist of the year Mr. Kendrick Lamar.

This song It's On Again is off of the Amazing Spider-Man 2 soundtrack it sounds like a mash up of R&B and Disco with a little bit of Hip Hop. Seems like a nod at the Queen of Disco Donna Summer. The song was produced by Oscar nominated producer Pharrell Williams (who makes a cameo in the video along side Alicia and Kendrick). In the beginning it comes across as a hardcore Kendrick track. But as it moves past Kendrick's rough and edgy verse it turns into this cool smooth Disco/R&B track. Kendrick Lamar added that element of edgy rock/rap to the song. Its a unique song and it really showcases Alicia Key's diversity. She can mix and mash different elements of genres together but still make it her own. Which in my book is really cool!

Martin Lawrence hasn't been on TV since 1997. He has produced several shows like 1st Amendment Standup on Starz and TV-1's comedy series Love That Girl but Martin hasn't appeared on a TV show as a character for an extended period of time since his highly successful stint on FOX. This was due to a nasty lawsuit brought on by his co-star Tisha Campbell. She was suing Martin Lawrence for sexual harassment, verbal, and physical abuse. HBO settled out of court and no charges were ever filed. Because of that Martin vowed to never do TV again.

Well that was 17 years ago and times have changed. Martin has decided to break that vow and return to TV! CBS has green lit a series that follows the life of a widowed father of two girls. After losing his job at a construction company he decides to follow a lifelong dream of his to join the police academy and become a cop at the age of 46. FX has also green lit a series starring Martin Lawrence (along with TV legend Kelsey Grammar) that follows 2 Chicago lawyers from different backgrounds who meet each other in court on the worst day of their lives. Ultimately they end up forming a partnership that forces them to find the balance between their personal and professional lives. The casts for both of these shows have been filled and production has begun (matter of fact the first 10 episodes of the FX series have been shot and if it does well the show will have 90 more episodes ordered by the network) and it looks like at least one of them will be premiering in during the Fall 2014 schedule. Both are still untitled but hopefully in the near future the announcement will be made!

I think its awesome that Martin is coming back to TV! I loved Martin when I was a kid. My dad is SUPER fan and he's constantly records every episode that comes on MTV2 and TV-1. I record my favorite episodes all the time! Its just too funny to pass up and I've seen it over 100 times but the humor in the show never leaves. Its just as funny as the first time I saw it. Title and airtime to be announced SOON!

Please let me know if you find anymore Remakes of Nicki Minaj's Lookin A** N****. I'm curious to see what people come up with.

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

POWER stars (no pun intended) Omari Hardwick (Being Mary Jane, Kick Ass, and For Colored Girls) as James "Ghost" St. Patrick (there's a name for ya), a nightclub owner whose club is the biggest hot spot in New York city. While owning one of the hottest nightclubs in New York, James also dabbles in the city's underworld of drugs where he goes by Ghost. Despite being one of the biggest drug kingpins in New York, James is now at a place in his life where he has two options: Leave the drug game alone forever and go legit or continue his double life regardless of the consequences. So what will it be Ghost the ruthless drug kingpin or will it be James St. Patrick the high powered nightclub owner and business man? Who knows? Guess we'll have to watch POWER to find out! POWER stars Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, Omari Hardwick, LaLa Anthony, and Naturi Naughton

Sounds like a juicy show full of drama, drugs, sex, lies, and guns! 50 Cent will be a part of the show and he's also executive producer. I can't wait to see how this show turns out! I actually really excited about this show. It seems to be interesting and full of potential.




POWER makes its television debut sometime this summer. When the date is released I will definitely update this blog!

Long time late night talk show host David Letterman has announced his retirement for 2015. The Late Show began its successful longtime run on CBS in 1993. David Letterman has been at the helm of that success since the beginning and its going to be sad to see him go. When Letterman bids his final farewell the Late Show will be 22 years old. An amazing feat for television and Letterman's career.

No definitive answer as to exactly when he will be retiring but he did say that his music man Paul Shaffer will be retiring with him. So in 2015 there will be no Dave and no Paul on the show. Many media outlets have been speculating replacements for Dave which I'm sure CBS has been doing since his conversation with the executives. Let me give you a list of names being thrown out there:


Jerry Seinfeld would probably fit he and David Letterman have the same kind of comedic chops. Their brand of humor fits and I can see him beyond that desk or giving the top ten. I can see that. This list is pretty decent. CBS has a task on their hands. Choosing a replacement host is going to be damn near impossible. It was almost impossible for NBC to replace Jay Leno he had to retire twice! After Conan O'Brien's crack at hosting duties the ratings went down so Jay Leno came back then Jimmy Fallon took over giving up his late night show and well now its one of the top rated shows in the late night circuit. Its funny, original and all Fallon. Which I love. Hopefully CBS really takes their time and chooses someone who can transition easily into the spot and help the show flourish.

Anyway I'm going to miss the Late Show with David Letterman. From the stupid human tricks, to his monologues, and especially his top ten list. I used to sneak and stay up to David and its going to be strange not seeing him smiling and cracking jokes on TV. Hopefully they replace Dave and Paul with great people who breathe new life into the show and make it their own.

Good Luck David and Paul. And Happy Birthday Dave!

One of my favorite artists Jazmine Sullivan is back into music. I loved Jazmine Sullivan she's awesome. She has tremendous talent and she's absolutely gorge!

Jazmine Sullivan first hit mainstream with her song "Need U Bad". It was a smash hit and her album Fearless dominated from 2008-2009. She's a Grammy nominated artist/songwriter and protege' of rapper/producer Missy Elliott. She's wrote songs for artists like Tamia, Jennifer Hudson, Fantasia Barrino, and Christina Milan.

Jazmine sold out at KOKO in London's Camden Place. She performed a cover of Daft Punk's hit Get Lucky and then she performed some of her hits like “Need U Bad,”“Lions, Tigers & Bears” and“Bust Your Windows,” and fan favorite "In Love With Another Man" along with a preview of her new single "Masterpiece". She announced she has made her return to music and will be releasing the single "Masterpiece" and her new album will be called Mona Lisa later on this year.


In 2011, Jazmine announced via twitter that she was giving the music industry a break. Here's her tweet:

I'm making an official announcement that I am taking a break from music. I’m trying to figure out who I am … w/out a mike, paper or pen. I promised myself that when it wasn't fun anymore I wouldn't do it. and here I am. I'm not saying I wont ever sing again in my life becuz I don't believe that. but in this moment… rt now… I got some things to figure out.

I'm glad Jazmine went and got herself together. She was a great R&B artist and they are few and far between these days. So when her album single and album comes out I will definitely be purchasing them when they are released which hopefully will be in the near future. Please let it be in the future.

This seems like a really cool movie. Scarlett Johansson is the perfect person for this movie she's strong, beautiful, smart perfect package. In the trailer she portrays a woman who is partying and wakes up in a room with bandages around her waist and no idea what has happened to her. She was told to transport a drug or she will be killed. While in captivity she is beaten releasing the drug in her system causing her to gain superhuman abilities. This film Lucy reminds me of Hanna. If you've never seen Hanna its a movie about a girl who was a government experiment. She was bred with super human capabilities: Strength, agility, intelligence, and superior fighting skill. The only difference is first off Hanna was a 13 year old child, she didn't become a telepathic human but she was a government experiment, and she was being hunted by the government. But the format and basic plot of the story is similar. Anyway its a really interesting movie and I can't wait until it comes out in theaters. Morgan Freeman and Analeigh Tipton round out the main characters of this sci-fi action thriller!

From La Femme Nikita and The Professional to The Fifth Element, writer/director Luc Besson has created some of the toughest, most memorable female action heroes in cinematic history. Now, Besson directs Scarlett Johansson in Lucy, an action-thriller that tracks a woman accidentally caught in a dark deal who turns the tables on her captors and transforms into a merciless warrior evolved beyond human logic.

Lucy hits theaters August 8, 2014!

This movie is freaking hilarious!

Sex Tape follows Annie and Jay a married couple who have gotten bored with their sex life. So to spice things up and put the spark back in their marriage they make a sex tape. The sex tape works and they become sexually attracted to each other again but at Annie's (Cameron Diaz) request it was supposed to be a one time thing and the video should be erased. Well unfortunately the video synced to the cloud on Jay's iPad and ended up being sent to every person that they gave iPad's to for Christmas. So now they go on a mission to retrieve every iPad before their sexual exploits are seen! This trailer for this movie freaking hilarious! I have to go see it! I love Jason Segel he's a hilarious dude and Cameron Diaz is one of my favorite actresses she can do it all comedy, romance, drama, suspense, action. Together they create comedy gold, they play off of each other very well and I love their chemistry!



Here's the official plot:

When Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) first got together, their romantic connection was intense - but ten years and two kids later, the flame of their love needs a spark. To kick things up a notch, they decide - why not? - to make a video of themselves trying out every position in The Joy of Sex in one marathon three-hour session. It seems like a great idea - until they discover that their most private video is no longer private. With their reputations on the line, they know they're just one click away from being laid bare to the world... but as their race to reclaim their video leads to a night they'll never forget, they'll find that their video will expose even more than they bargained for.

Rob Lowe, Jason Segel, Cameron Diaz, Rob Corddry, and Ellie Kemper star in Sex Tape. Sex Tape is directed by the same director that brought us the hilarious Bad Teacher which both Cameron and Jason also starred in. They had great chemistry in Bad Teacher and it carried over in Sex Tape. Most people are thinking of Sex Tape as a "sequel" to Bad Teacher. But it is in fact its own movie.

Sex Tape hits theaters July 25, 2014!!!!
