Having a moment with Gagyonce

In case you didn’t catch that, I coined the term “Gagyonce” in reference to the new body rolling collabo of “Video Phone” between the current queens of pop video and O.D. radioplay, Beyonce and Lady Gaga. Yes, Gagyonce sounds like some sort of version of acid reflux, but I want you to spread it around...

‘Paranormal Activity’ = sleeping with the lights on

Even though I need to be up at 6:30 a.m., there’s a reason why I am still up past 1 a.m. on a Monday night. It’s a valid reason. A very valid reason. It’s this little bitch of a movie called Paranormal Activity. I have been putting this movie at the bottom of my list...

Asian pop culture tally for October 8, 2009

We got models, little computer savvy girls, awkward community college dudes and a few others this week… Danny Pudi plays the vacantly endearing Abed in NBC’s Community Danny Pudi as Abed in Community. He’s probably one of the few things that is funny on that show. The little Asian girl in those Windows commercials. Yeah,...

Asian pop culture tally for October 1, 2009

Didn’t have too many Asians show up on my radar this week… John Cho is lookin’ pretty intense on ‘FlashForward’ – Photo Credit: ABC/Bob D’amico John Cho on Flash Forward… Sandra Oh on Grey’s Anatomy… B.D. Wong on Law & Order: SVU… Margaret Cho on Drop Dead Diva… I think I saw about five Asian...

Asian pop culture tally as of August 17, 2009

When I did my interview with Margaret Cho for Hyphen Magazine (yes, this is a shameless name drop) I asked her about the state of Asian Americans in entertainment and she answered… There’s a great crop of (Asian American) talent. There are a couple of more Asian faces here and there – that is great....

‘The Real World’ with a paranormal twist

This is the true story…of a ghost, vampire and werewolf…picked to live in a flat…and start getting real… Photo credit: Touchpaper TV and BBC Okay. This is not a true story; therefore it is not “real.” I am referring to the new BBC America show, Being Human. Take a look: BBC has really outdone themselves...

Zombie orgies and vampires in cowboy hats

True Blood is the best thing about Sundays – and this show is getting good. Real good. Jessica and Hoyt lose their “innocence” – isn’t that swell? Here are my top 10 highlights (in no particular order) from tonight’s episode: 1.) Lafayette has gained some of his sass back (i.e. his “Bitch” t-shirt and the...

A fashion writer reviews ‘Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince’

A word of advice: if you are a fair-weathered Harry Potter fan like me, do a scan of the past five movies. I say this because as soon as I saw the opening scene and heard that catchy music box theme, I was a bit confused. I totally forgot what happened in The Order of...

The mystery of Maryann on ‘True Blood’ is solved

Having just recently jumped on the True Blood bandwagon, I must say…this show is like a pornographic Twilight deep-fried with debauchery and dusted with Southern charm. And don’t even get me started on the characters of Lafayette and Tara (played by Nelsan Ellis and Rutina Wesley respectively). Oooh child – they are my absolute FAVES....

Remember the TV show ‘Beauty and the Beast’?

…and I am referring to the one with Linda Hamilton. Well whether you do or not, I just want to share this lovely conversation I had earlier today with my friend Janet: Janet: i finally got my hair cut Janet: i look like the beast from beauty and the beast the tv series w/ linda...

LOL quote of the moment: Marshall from ‘United States of Tara’

He looked like a retarded Mark Harmon. - said by Marshall (Keir Gilchrist) in reaction to his Aunt Charmaine’s (Rosemarie DeWitt) casual fondness of a male attendant at his mom’s psychiatric facility.

‘Hooking Up’ with Kelly Clarkson

Actually, according to her pop rock bangin’ new single, she doesn’t hook up: Ever since hearing this for the first time, I can’t stop jumping in place without rhythm and pumping my fist in the air. The song was written by same-sex kisser Katy Perry, but, true to “Since U Been Gone” form, Kelly works...
