*The Wayans Family style of humor is one that most African Americans under the age of 40 or even 50 can relate to. It’s reminiscent of playing ‘the dozens’ in the schoolyard with friends, or snapping on an equally talented jokester in a round-robin ‘snap session’ in a tenement hallway. But, unlike most, they’ve been able to [...]
*For the young sister on the street, that grew from concrete, and that wants more out of life. For the beautifully hued young girls of African descent who are in need of an angel of sorts, we offer you Yasmin Shiraz. Though she may not call herself a miniature media magnate, she could probably make [...]
*While working the red carpet at yet another NYC gathering I stumbled across the surprisingly sweet, beyond media cordialness, and approachable Mashonda as she posed for the paparazzi. Though the event venue was sweltering hot due to lack of AC, Mashonda seemed unfazed as she appeared to shimmer while the rest of us were just [...]
*The criminal justice system and the African American community have shared a love hate relationship ever since the United States was officially founded in 1776. Within that span millions of Americans of African descent have been jailed. Some of them were as guilty as you can get, but too many were innocent. For us, even [...]
*Russ Parr has been around the world and back again as far as the entertainment industry is concerned. He has worked behind the scenes at ABC, worked as a stand-up comic, and he has even appeared in bit parts on a few sitcoms as well as some commercials. But you may know him from the [...]

*Last night, Monday April 11, I was lucky enough to be invited down to the Pranna resteraunt on Madison Ave and 28th street by the industrious ladies of the 135th St Agency (PR firm) to meet the lovely Braxton sisters and their rock strong mother. Though I was the last to arrive due to traffic, [...]
*About a month or so ago EURweb ran a story on David E. Talbert’s hit stageplay “What My Husband Doesn’t Know” during which time we interviewed Brian White, former Destiny’s Child member Michelle Williams and singer/actress Ann Nesby. Though the interviews were informative, we decided to give the show’s Queen Mother some solo love this [...]
*We’re certain you’ve heard the term ‘what a difference a day makes’ but in the case of Ron Artest it’s more like what a difference 7 years makes. He had gone from catapulting St. John’s University into the NCCA tournament to living out a lifelong dream of becoming a NBA basketball player, and he wasn’t [...]
*There have been many great battles fought in the not so secret war for control of Black images and ideas.

*The dust has officially settled on the season preimere of Donald Trump’s “Celebrity Apprentice” (Sunday night at 9 E/P on NBC) and the drama is slowly beginning to unfold. Though some often throw the term “Reality TV star” around like a gypsy curse, others embrace the 5 to 10 years of fame that becoming a [...]
*I first came across director Malcolm Lee back in 1999 at the Los Angeles press junket for his directorial debut “The Best Man.” Back then I was a knotty dreadlock wearing, basketball jersey sporting, cheap marijuana smoking, would-be Venice Beach playground legend and a sometime ne’er-do-well who was enjoying the Los Angeles scene just a [...]
*In case you haven’t heard by now, comedian Eddie Griffin has a new TV special out called “You Can Tell ‘Em I Said It.’ The same special can also be found on DVD. We don’t know what it is about Eddie on this one, but he takes it there. All the way there! If you [...]
