Throwback Clip Of The Week: Omar Little Killed On ‘The Wire’
HBO’s ‘The Wire’ was one of the most-watched, most popular TV shows ever to air on TV–period. And Michael K. Williams, who played the groundbreaking “Omar Little” character, ended up becoming a very familiar face after the show ended its seven season run.
BTW, dope boy robber Omar Little was probably the most talked about, vilified and admired character from the show. Its hard to imagine the show being as successful as it was without him. But Omar’s life had been so unpredictably violent that you just knew something bad was gonna happen to him before the show eventually ended. And of course, it did. This is the scene where Omar meets his match–an unlikely one at that.
HBO always comes out with some on point shows. Remember OZ and The Sopranos?

Drake Hits Up ‘Saturday Night Live’
Drake is a phenomenal rapper but he’s boring as hell as an actor.
The ironic thing here is that Drake started his career as an actor. But now that he’s found immense fame and fortune as a rapper, he needs to just stick with that. He’s no ‘Pac or Ice-T when it comes to cinema.
Drake eased through his two performances, one with Nicki Minaj, who people like to keep imagining he’s romantically involved with. But they’re great on stage together. Peep them perform “I’M So Proud Of You” below.

‘The Game’ Season 5 Preview
BET’s ‘The Game’ is getting ready to air its 5th season and here’s a preview of the resurrected TV show.
In case you didn’t know, ‘The Game’ is a pretty good show and well worth checking out. The show was originally aired on The CW, but that network put the brakes on the popular program. Months later, BET decided it was worth bringing back to the tube.
Since its move to BET, The Game has shifted closer to drama/comedy and away from comedy/drama. That development is in keeping with BET’s longstanding tradition of trying hard not to violate its unwritten, ‘No Coonery’ policy. Psyche! Feel free to insert sarcasm here. Anyways, BET finally put together a worthwhile show outside of 106 & Park with The Game. The news season starts in January.

No, you’re not seeing things. That was indeed singer Brandy walking with ‘Jason Pitts’ in the clip. Since Brandy doesn’t have much else going on these days, the producers of the show invited her to come over and grace our TVs with that unforgettable smile.

‘All My Children Ends’; Soap Opera Era Comes Closer To Extinction
Another one bites the dust. The long-running daytime soap opera ‘All My Children’ becomes just the latest soap to go to TV heaven, leaving people wondering how much longer will soap operas be around?
With ‘AMC’ history, that leaves only four soaps still on the air–’General Hospital’, ‘The Bold & The Beautiful’, ‘The Young & The Restless’ and ‘Days Of Our Lives’. How soon before they’re gone as well?
Once upon a time, the whole country was trying to figure out what Erica Cane was gonna do next, while also wondering who shot J.R.? Now, nobody seems to give a damn either way.
In fact, as viewership wanes, the soap opera genre might need one of its famous resurrected story plots to prevent what some see as inevitable: The disappearance of soaps from TV by mid-decade.
Blame it on reality TV and the fact that a lot of women aren’t home to watch the soaps in the daytime anymore because they have jobs or are involved in other activities that preclude watching TV.
Now, most of us have moms, aunties and grandmas who have been longtime, faithful devotees to soap operas. But have you noticed they ain’t watching like they used to either?
Its been said ‘All My Children’ will try to do what has thus far been an impossibility–make the transition from daytime to the Internet. Good luck with that.
Like it or not, soap operas appear to be operating on borrowed time. Much like VCRs, 45 records, Jheri curls and phone booths, sometimes things just don’t seem useful anymore. And people move on.
Will you miss soap operas when they all finally go off the air? Or do you think a miracle will save daytime soaps?

Cassie Co-Hosts 106 & Park
The first time I saw Cassie’s shaved head, I assumed she was preparing to run with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain or something. But like many of you, the once-daring look grew on me. Who knew the Matador slash Amazon Basin hunter look could work so effectively for her?
Yesterday, Cassie co-hosted 106 & Park with Terrence J., who has some films in the works. Check this clip out as she shares her insights on show bizness.
Cassie has a new album in the works and she’s reportedly hired a vocal coach to help her out. That’s a good thing because even though Cassie’s very beautiful, she ain’t no Jennifer Hudson when it comes to vocals.
Does The Local News Media Try To Make Black Folks Look Stupid??
I’m just wondering out loud but does the local media just happen to stumble upon the people with the greasiest, shiniest weaves, the people with the least teeth, the people with the least discernible English, the people who talk the loudest, laugh the hardest and use the most slang to interview when something happens ’round the way? Is this just a coincidence–or part of a specific strategy to make all Black folks look ignorant and clueless?
I’m thinking that whenever there is a series of vicious murders or other violent crimes, the media finds these people and manages to get them to tell everything they saw, who they saw and then gets them to offer a little bit of commentary to boot. All of this on the backdrop of a violent crime scene–and the gruesome irony that the killer is still on the loose. Then the reporter causally mentions the name of the person doing the talking, the witness. And the reporter always manages to put the witness’s full name across the screen, followed by a camera view of the witness’s house, with the reporter adding that the witness LIVES JUST ACROSS THE STREET.
I always thought only an idiot would get on TV and let the whole world know that he/she is the only witness to a mass murder–and that they live next door or across the street from the carnage, and that they always knew drugs were being sold there, and blah, blah, blah. Then I started thinking, maybe the local news people have a special van that just picks random people up off the street and drops them off at random crime scenes, like a labor pool bus, in order to interview them when something jumps off. They then pay these people in cash and or food then sends them on their way–no strings attached. Possibility?pl

A Lot Of People Really Don’t Like Chaz Bono Being On DWTS
In case you haven’t been paying attention–or didn’t care–Chaz Bono, son (and former daughter) of singing legend Cher, is now on the apparently well-liked TV show “Dancing With The Stars”. And that’s led to much controversy.
Some people are saying kids might be somehow mentally scarred by watching the show with the transgendered Chaz on it, with some naysayers even going as far as calling Chaz “The Bearded Lady”. Chaz underwent sexual reassignment surgery between 2008-2009. Intriguingly, though, Chaz opted not to alter anything below the waistline, which means he only had a boob removal job and a beard implant–and that’s something that is further confusing a lot of folks.
Meanwhile, Chaz Bono has drawn support from many DWTS fans, including his famous mother, whose made it clear she’s sticking with her son. On Twitter, she posted this:
lovelies! Chaz is Being Viciously Attacked on Blogs & Message boards about being on DWTS!This is Still America right ? It took guts 2 do it
But not everybody is showing love. Some groups have urged people not to even watch the show since Chaz is on it:

You Really Never Know What’s Inside Somebody’s House…
Some people will hoard just about any damn thing but this is just ridiculous. Take for instance, this dude has 29 snakes in several not-so-secure looking fish tanks in his bedroom. The hillbilly also pointed out that 23 of those snakes are poisonous. Among that group are a Boa Constrictor and several rattle snacks.
He also has a bunch of rats that he keeps in every other room in the modest home. That makes sense because snakes tend to view rats as lunch. Meanwhile, I’ve never known anybody to choose to live in a house filled with rats.
He describes being in Heaven by living in such a bizarre environment. One can only imagine what the smell is like.
We all know at least one person who has way too much animal life existing in their crib. But this sort of thing is Baker Act-worthy. Now, I love Pit Bulls but there is no way in hell I’m gonna have a pack of those mofos in my house. Period.
Meanwhile, snake/rat man’s mom seems to have a surprisingly patient view of her son’s disturbing collection. But she does take the time to bemoan the fact that he’s not getting any ass thanks to the abundant wildlife in his crib. Sadly, she mentions that her son would be a great husband–if only he didn’t have all those filthy and potentially homicidal animals in his home. She also said she fears he’ll be bitten (i.e., eaten alive) by those things.
She neglected to mention where he’d find space to stash a prospective bride since his numerous animals are occupying most of the living space in the disgusting crib.
This nonsense is part of Animal Planet’s newest show, “Confessions: Animal Hoarding”. Check your listings.
