By: Chrysa Smith Meet Violet, DoraLee and Judy. Three tough broads. Oops! Is that politically incorrect? Well then, you should hear Dwayne's take on women in the hit musical 9 to 5. My friend Ruth and I ventured on down to Philly to see the show this week. If you haven't seen it or the movie, do so. It's a funny take on the late 70's workplace---which most of us, can---unfortunately, remember all [...]
What fun! The Fresh Prince of Bel Air's nerdy cousin, Carlton, a.k.a. Alfonso Ribeiro, tears up the dance floor in the first show of this season's Dancing With the Stars.

But its usually preceded by those dark nights of the soul or some other less than ideal circumstances. And so it was in the movie The Hundred Foot Journey. Through some less than ideal events, including the death of a wife [...]
By: Mary Fran Bontempo It's no secret that I love awards shows, but sometimes my mind wanders. Here's what I was thinking last night while watching the Emmys: 1. Neil Patrick Harris is funnier than Seth Meyers. 2. Veep is a really funny show, even though there's a lot of cursing, which is probably why I like it. 3. So is Louie, even though it's really dirty, which is probably why I like [...]
