Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood Is Back. Keyshia Cole Seems Happier, Hazel-E Acts Thirsty and Teairra Mari Looks Tipsy
What I love most about Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood is what I hated most about living in Los Angeles: the people. I’m not talking about L.A. natives, who are, more often than not, fine-fine-fine-fine-fine-fine, whew. I’m referring to the transients—specifically, those people who move to L.A. with dreams of being the next big rapper…

Donald Trump Has Always Been a Disloyal Thot
Shortly before Super Tuesday last year, then-Sen. Jeff Sessions endorsed Donald Trump for president. At a campaign rally in Sessions’ home state of Alabama, Sessions explained to the crowd that while “we don’t get everything we want” in a candidate, “at this time, in my best judgment, at this time in America’s history, we need…

As a Salute to Throwback Thursday, We Are Live-Blogging O.J. Simpson’s Parole Hearing
It would feel like hell outside across much of the country on the day O.J. Simpson had a parole hearing to determine whether or not he could leave the Lovelock Correctional Center in Lovelock, Nev., a few years early. Of course, nearly a decade ago, a group of men led by Simpson entered a room…

Business Casual Racist and Longtime Hater of the Blunt Jeff Sessions Would Like to Make D.A.R.E. Great Again
When it comes to what he would like to achieve as attorney general, business casual racist Jeff Sessions has long made many of his goals abundantly clear.

Donald Trump Jr. Is as Old as Patti LaBelle’s 1st Solo Album; He Ain’t a ‘Boy,’ Beloved
In October 1977, Patti LaBelle released her self-titled debut album. Two months later, on New Year’s Eve, Donald Trump Jr. was born. LaBelle’s eponymous debut was released to critical acclaim; the spawn of that Sith Lord sitting in the White House, hollering at cable news all the time—eh, not so much. The two creations do…

Who Can Stay and Go on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta
We have reached the end of another season of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, and therefore it is time to evaluate everyone’s usefulness. Some cast members gave their all and were a delight, while others gave their all and I couldn’t give a decimal of a damn about them on this show. Feel free to…

Didn’t We Almost Have It All, Joseline Hernandez?
Five years ago, a woman dressed like Sensational Queen Sherri from the pro-wrestling world was introduced to me as Joseline Hernandez, the self-professed Puerto Rican Princess and then-sidepiece of the legendary producer Stevie J. Joseline had dreams of becoming a rap star, and while she was one of the biggest messes I had ever seen…

I Love Starz’s Power, but I Hate All of These Characters
Very few shows can entice me to spend more money on what already feels like an oppressive cable bill. However, when the press connect does not come through, I will circle back to Showtime in order to get my Homeland fix. But honestly (truly), no show really makes me hit “order” as fast as Starz’s…

Y’all’s President Met His Russian Political Benefactor and Behaved as Expected
Throughout the week, much of the very media the president of the United States relentlessly vilifies once again rewarded him by needlessly giving him the benefit of the doubt. For starters, quite a few outlets noticeably referred to today’s meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the G-20 summit in Hamburg, Germany, as the first…

I Listened to Chris Brown and Ray J’s Mixtape so You Don’t Have To
When I read that Chris Brown and Ray J had released a new mixtape, Burn My Name, my immediate response was, “Have we not suffered enough already in Trump’s America?” That’s not to say Light Ike isn’t talented, Team Breezy. That has long been established. It’s more like, “You’re Chris Brown and you’re doing a…
