Quote of The Day

Lisa Bonet admitted that returning to television wasn’t easy. The 40 year old actress is currently staring in ABC cop drama Life On Mars.

To have my face reinstated in minds and homes once a week was an intense decision. It feels like you’re being stalked. As a shy person, that type of attention coming at me violates something. I don’t like that it’s expected to come with the territory.

Look Denise, we totally understand but as a 40 year old black actress you should be thankful you have an acting gig. Look around how many 40 year old black actors/actresses do you see in on Television?

Get Well Soon :(

Natalie Cole is back in the hospital facing complications of Hepatitis C that she contracted during her druggie days in the 80s. The stress of promoting her Still Unforgettable album and her chemo treatments led to her hospitalization. But Natalie says the show must go on:

I’ve worked so hard on this record, it’s the first one I produced. I couldn’t see pushing it back while I went through my treatment. So we’re going to barrel through and kick butt. And I if I have to, I’ll kick butt sitting down.

We hope Natalie the best in her career and health endeavours. But remember health comes first.
