UPDATE IN THE JENNIFER HUDSON FAMILY MURDER CASE
February 10, 2011
By Ladyglen
CHICAGO - William Balfour (the only person charged in the murders of Jennifer Hudson’s family members) appeared in court today before judge Charles P. Burns. The defense (public defenders) asked for a continuance to conduct additional discovery and it was granted “by agreement” of both parties. The judge asked the prosecution if they had obtained the “lab results” in which they nodded yes.

I'm Feeling Good...Again!
Finally, those blaring, jarring, wailing Jennifer Hudson Weight Watcher commercials appears to be ceasing. I thought there were decibel laws for TV commercials and those commercials featuring Jennifer Hudson appeared to break every one of them. For those who remember the genius that was Nina Simone and to preserve the sanctity of the song featured in the Weight Watcher commercial I gladly post Nina's version of Feeling Good. Enjoy!

Lee Daniels Movies Make Me Cringe!
February 5, 2011
By Ladyglen
Someone recently asked me what did I think of the movie Shadowboxer directed by Lee Daniels. I couldn’t give them a really detailed answer other than I didn’t like it. I had ordered the movie from Amazon because I recalled seeing an interview with Helen Mirren and Cuba Gooding, Jr. talking about the movie and it sounded like a movie I would like to see, especially being a huge fan of Helen Mirren.
But, something about the movie’s interracial relationships and disrespect for women just didn’t sit well with me. I also took issue with the lingering shots of Cuba’s tight muscular buttocks and the white actor (whose name I don’t recall) penis. Then I realized the film was directed by Lee Daniels and that explained (to me at least) the film’s apparent fascination with interracial relationships, degradation of black women and the male anatomy.
For some reason, Lee Daniels movies brings flashbacks of the worst “exploitation” movie (black and white) of all time...MANDINGO!
