Vampire Diaries Finale- What Happened To Tyler?

Vampire Diaries Finale- What Happened To Tyler?

Vampire Diaries was whacked out last night doncha know!?! I mean with Elena last seen passed out on the floor bleeding from the mouth and then finds herself in the hospital, dreaming of her cheerleading days when her parents were alive…Klaus appears to have been staked in his coffin, only Bonnie-the good witch does some sort of spell, hence, Klaus is alive and thriving in the body of Tyler?

Okay, Bonnie, what you do with Tyler Stop playin’, gurl.  Actually, Tyler’s character need a little get up and more umph to the storyline- just so much one can do with a half beast who loves a vampire girl; just sayin’. So, Elena finally made a choice between the two brothers. It was Stefan-who knew? Anyhoo, lovers offset who pretend to fall in love onset, doesn’t really do it for most viewers, although Twilight was an exception!  

Back to vamps dying, after the staking of Klaus. Hmmm, whose dead again? I think the finale of Vampire Diaries was a bit wierd- I believe Elena being given Vampire blood in the hospital makes her a she-vamp! What do you guys think? Will Elena become the she mistress of Stefan & Damon and in typical vampire style bed them both?

Bonnie, you’re such a crazed witch! You need Damon to show you a thing or two about loyalty…

Okay, so this wasn’t really about Tyler…

My G-Mogul List of Shows to Watch!

My G-Mogul List of Shows to Watch!

Okay, it’s Monday, another day in the life of a g-mogul! I wanted to do something a bit different today by bringing you a few new shows on the horizon that I think you should watch, along with some much talked about oldies! First off, I’m still following all the Reality stuff, except for Baseball Wives and Neicy Nash’s -Neicy Knows Best? Anyhoo, I’ll probably give it a second glance, but, for now, just cannot get over the fact some little people know and are too aware they’re being filmed- authenticity seems to elude the show…

I’ve already spilled on Beverly Johnson’s Full House- there’s loads of personality clashes, old wounds and miscommunication going on here- and yet, it’s a show that speaks to everyone, not solely mothers and daughters, but, relationships between family and friends as well… then there’s Robert!  Gotta love being in the mix of one Black Supermodel Diva, a newlywed daughter, who is a plus size model and the men in their lives- then there’s Beverly’s mom-love her! Watch…

Oprah Winfrey’s OWN Network brings forth a fav: Welcome To Sweetie Pies, Robbie Montgomery is a former backup singer of Ike & Tina Turner Revue of the 1960s and is the owner of two thriving soul food restaurants somewhere in St. Louis.  She hired her son, Tim, his fiancee, a nephew and grandson to help run the family business - all hell breaks loose on this show, people! due, in part, to Tim’s temper, young folks lackluster interest,and unexpected financial concerns for Robbie about completion of work on a third restaurant. One thing for sure, at Sweetie Pies, you will get more bang for your buck!

Of course, I recommend y’all keep watching Basketball Wives. Mob Wives. Big Rich Texas ( total tackiness of Texas elite)  Joan & Melissa. Ringer (how they gonna hide the pregnancy, for real y’all?)  Housewives Of Atlanta. – That Kim spinoff, Tardy for The Wedding thing?  ( yawning about now) and then, there’s  the newest kid on the Reality Show block- Dina Eastwood (41 year old wife of 80 something actor, Clint Eastwood  “GET’EM UP RAWHIDE!”) in Mrs. Eastwood and Company. We didn’t get to see Clint in the show’s preview- probably napping:) but, there are some interesting characters and ugh! foul animals (vermin) on this show - I hate rats. just sayin’. If you can stomach the animals, recommend you give it a look see. 

 Absolutely love:

 Person of Interest-  still holding out for more of a connection between the main characters:) 

Vampire Diaries- Elena will choose Stefan, but, then, he should move on to Bonnie!

Supernatural- so glad Bobby’s back , but Cass, you gotta demand your Angel wings!

Grimm- never miss a beat for the beast to appear:)

 Scandal- Kerry Washington will put this show on the map- scandalous doings of men and women going for the gusto/jugular- women dominating men at their own game-lovely !

Taraji P. Henson Tells “Naked Truths” On Monday’s Wendy Williams

Taraji P. Henson Tells “Naked Truths” On Monday’s Wendy Williams

Okay, here we go! I’ve been a bit muted, not really into my g-mogul groove of late, but don’t go gettin’ it twisted; not due to disinterest, never that:) just working hard for the “show me da money!” sort of thang and getting no where fast…anyhoo, decided to just laze today and stuff like that. In getting my “me” time on, I checked out  The View before gettting down & Wendy dirty with my gurl (okay, in my head) Wendy Williams. So here’s some dirt, err,  Ts for y’all:

Is it just me, or did DWTS help Sherri Sheperd lose a couple of poundage? Well, the gossip at the roundtable was the usual political viewpoints, along with guest and former View co-host, Meredith Vieira  on her leaving the Today Show, how they didn’t ask her back and  the latest from her Production Company “The Woman Who Wasn’t There Project” about this woman lying about being in the World Trade Center on 911-liar.

Wendy Williams was by far, better Monday viewing because of award winning actress, Taraji P. Henson being front and center on Wendy’s Hot Topics couch. Taraji has been around a minute- just sayin’ y’all remember her in BabyBoy! Anyhoo, Wendy got down & dirty with Taraji and Ms. thang of the hit drama A Person of Interest had no shame in her game:

On kissing Michael Ealy in her new movie Think Like A Man, based upon Steve Harvey’s Act Like A Woman, Think Like A Man- “It was alright”  (joke people) on the real? “He’s a great kisser”- umm, like we didn’t already know that. just sayin’….The actress continues to elaborate on scenes by saying “you know you’re acting and I have no inhibition when it comes to acting. At the end of the day, it’s business, but I’m not afraid to explore chemistry.” Be forewarned fellas, don’t mess around when it comes to Taraji making her money, woot!

On Sex: Fan of the 90 Day Rule: “Lust fades” and relationships should start from a foundation of friendship” At this point, Wendy agreed, but confessed she and husband had sex on their first date to which 41 year old Taraji hastily replies “I don’t judge!”

On 18 year old son, Marcel:  “I’m very hands on with my son. She reports he’s getting ready for college, this being his last year in High School and they’re possibly looking  to New York where she films A Person of Interest: – I’m a fan of the weekly series & glad to see Taraji getting meatier scenes. Now for some romance, please. just sayin’…

On posing nudist like on cover of Allure Magazine: “We were born into the world naked. I’m comfortable being naked. I think we should just not wear clothes.” Agreed, now how about passing those designer duds along to yours truly? Are you serious? I could have my own celebrity pieces garage sale right here in Shy Town- just had an “aha” moment:)

Okay, y’all, keep it here for lots more to dish on, including those Housewives From Atlanta and Shahs of Sunsets! Bye the way, want to give a shoutout to my new celebrity followers:

@Beverly Johnson1

@Celebbuzzz

@TheOneTripleA- tell ya peeps, it’s all positive at the “T” BLOG!

P.S. Weigh in on question of Sherri’s perceived weight loss in the comment section or via twitter handle @c50something

BET’S RIP THE RUNWAY 2012

BET’S RIP THE RUNWAY 2012

Okay people, so I didn’t get to book an interview with Chicago Fashion Designer, Tennille White like I’d done the last 2 years for insights into her fashion extravaganza on BET’S RIP THE RUNWAY that premiered recently in New York. I did watch a bit of it on a Friday repeat and I have to say,  All of the fashions were great and Chicago Designer,Tennille White represented- not only for the Windy City, but, for all y’all full figured ladies out there!

I think this year, Tennille’s fashions were better than ever. The assorted pieces of yellows, greens and peach were simply elegant and flowed gracefully on the runway. The “shoe cam” stole a bit of the spotlight doncha know & the performers were jamming-  visit this Chicago fashion diva website @ www.tennillewhitechicago.com and tell her the g-mogul sent ya! 

Caught The Braxton’s encore from Thrusday night and took some notes:

Toni fired her sisters as backup singers- remember she’d fired Vince, her manager and sister, Tamar’s husband on a recent episode.

Tamar & Vincent want to have a baby.

Trina divorcing Gabe!

The Braxton’s Reunion sit down next Thrusday….you might not want to miss that one…

Oprah’s OWN Dominating TV Tactics…

Oprah’s OWN Dominating TV Tactics…

Okay, I’m just a lil ole fish out here swimming around in a big sea of g-moguls, but, I’m an expert in recognizing people manipulation tactics -I’m entitled (age matters!) Anyho, I’ve been noticing how lady “O”and her roundtable team of experts have begun to build Oprah’s brand ie Oprah’s OWN!  First off, she lands an interview with Bobbi Kristina just weeks after her famous mom dies ( this tactic bites-my opinion)  anyho, on March 11th Oprah viewers get to see the sit down interview with Bobbi Kristina & her aunt and uncle. On March 4th, Bobbi Kristina turned 19 years old-

There could be many reasons for Oprah to jump on this interview ;  ASSUMPTIONS-

1. An opportunity for Bobbi to express her feeling about her mother’s death and to tell the media to take a hike

2. Oprah’s getting the scoop before anyone else, which serves to boost her ratings on OWN

3. Greed-

4. Prove to the world Oprah’s still the Queen

5. Greed- 

Anyhoo, Ms. Winfrey has also seemingly settled her big feud with the spiritual guru, Iyanla Vanzant and is giving her a show on The Oprah Network, Oprah’s Next Chapter. That’s cool, always was a fan of Iyanla’s. Many of her book align my bookshelf- that new one ‘Peace From Broken Pieces” would make a great gift addition :) Let’s hope Oprah doesn’t do what she reportedly did when the O’Neals aired their dirty laundry on OWN-

According to reports from Ryan ‘O Neal, Lady “O” wasn’t anywhere around when he & dtr Tatum needed her- hmmm

OOOH y’all, who’s looking forward to watching Sherri Shephard DWTS?

Celebrity Outtakes

Celebrity Outtakes

So, I’m not too down with these Reality Shows of late. Too much cursing, backstabbing and just being dang right hypocritica!l. Take Basketball Wives in last night’s episode you have Shaunie, Tami and Evelyn, talkin’ smack about their gurl Jenn. Shaunie seemingly talks with a forked tongue ie from both sides of her mouth- Tami, y’all know ain’t much better…”Keepin’ it real” my butt. These women are sooo trifling, doncha ya know? Money or not. Never heard so many women, supposedly with class? refering to one another as bi#c#es. These women wear high priced designer clothes & such, but, class acts? Hmmm, more like Ghetto fabulous. just sayin’

Congrats to Royce who auditioned for and landed a part in a New York play.

TI & Tiny are raising a blended family, while taking care of business which is cool. Again, the women on the show scream & holler; curse sooo much without their sentences making a complete thought-geez! Love the fact that Tiny is helping her foul mouthed hairstylist friend, but, even friendships have their limits…the gurl is tryin to milk Tiny for all she can get. Does anyone else see this or am I the only g-mogul with guts to go ther:) Anyho, ole gurl’s attitude need a checkup from the neckup and Tiny needs to go there with chick.

On Khloe & Lamar, Lamar doesn’t want Khloe treating him like anything less than a grown assed man…hmmm,I think you’d better repeat that in a more articulate manner, Mr. Odom…

Madonna’s daughter Lordes will be one of her backup dancers on her tour…speech?

The Fashion Police thought Viola Davis wearing her natural hair, made the “sistahs” proud! Reallly?!? I was born proud, doncha know? just sayin’

The media thought Star Jones was ambushed by the ladies of The View when she appeared on the show after her contract wasn’t renewed 6 years ago- feel free to weigh in y’all.

Speaking of “y’all?” Wendy Williams, question gurl…. You been sneaking a peak at the T Blog of late? Just curious gurl:)

Return Of The Vampire Diaries

Return Of The Vampire Diaries

Shout out to Shy Town’s Marcie Hill for snagging an interview with the one & only Ms. Maya Angelou! Y’all be knowing that Ms. Angelou has been my mentor (in my head) for  decades, starting with my falling in love with “I know Why The Caged Bird Sings!” and now my gurl and fellow writer, blogger, entrepreneur will be having this great woman on her site @ Marcie Writes!

Okay, nough for tooting your horn, Ms. Marcie, on to some G-mogul news! Now I watched the return of The Vampire Diaries cause that’s my BOO show people. It didn’t fail to disappoint as brothers were seeingly pitted against brothers. Klaus is doublecrossed by little bro Elijah, while Damon and Stefan admits to both loving Elena!

Meanwhile over in the witch camp- Persia White, formerly of GIRLFRIENDS, plays mama witch to Bonnie witch & uses her semi retired powers to help dtr witch open “the coffin” which contained Mama Vampire who, apparently wasn’t even angry at Klaus for daggering her! Nope, seems matron mama vamp only came back to reunite her bloodsucking family.

Now, we’re left to ponder this knife situation of people on the Council. Who’s the culprit people? Come on y’all, spill it!

In closing I’d like to remember Mr. Robert Hegyes aka Juan Epstein aka member of the Sweathogs  from Welcome Back Kotter, the popular television show launching the career of John Travolta airing in the 70′s.  Robert died recently at the age of 60.  okay, “Here’s looking at you kid”-  bogart

Morgan Freeman Receives The Cecil B. Demille Award!

Morgan Freeman Receives The Cecil B. Demille Award!
Morgan Freeman Receives The Cecil B. Demille Award!

Aloha to all of my g-moguls! Bonjour and God Morgen/Morgon! Yes, I’m back with a different attitude and a bit of special language greetings to y’all:) Anyho, what a great 2012 it’s been so far and sooo much gossip fodder out there for the likes of yours truly. So, where do I began? Hmm, let’s re jumpstart it all by my saying thanks for the love visits & new followers in my absence-”smooches”…

Didn’t really watch much of The Golden Globes but was so proud to see Morgan Freeman receiving the Cecil B. Demille Lifetime Achievement Award! It was well deserved and about dang time and the presenter being Mr. Sidney Poitier himself? Only sealed it for me…love me some Sidney. I mean he’s my idol doncha know? And one more thing while we’re talking about The Golden Globes? Did I miss something, or, was Angelina Jolie seeming a bit pensive? Just sayin.’ I been MIA for a few weeks, but, my intuitive attention to g-mogul details is very much on point. Remember back when I said how Kim Kardashian only said yes to Kris Humphries AFTER laying eyes on that gigantic ring? Umhumm, anyho,episodes depicting Kim being miserable in the marriage is playing out in the new season of Kourtney And Kim Take New York.

Somebody tell me please why these women of Reality Television fighting like cats and dogs over petty stuff? Is it because that’s what keeps viewers watching and the monies rolling in? Is it the reality of these women for real? NeNe, Kim and Sheree, all once good friends, now wh%res & bi*ches. There are so many fights between friends on the new season of Mob Wives, I can’t decide who to root for. Karen was the hero, but, now seems she’s the villian. Didn’t y’all think Drita was sincere in wanting to make up with Karen at Renee’s party? I did. And that Ramona, the instigator, shouldn’t have added fuel to the fires.

Okay, now, officially, I’m back from sabbatical and playing catch up doncha know? There’s so much g-mogul juice coming y’all way:) I can hardly contain myself!  But, y’all need to hit me up on what you think about Baseball Wives… You think it’s worth watching?    

Holla,

Wendy Williams “Bugs” Out Over Draya Michele’s Faux Pas

Wendy Williams “Bugs” Out Over Draya Michele’s Faux Pas
Cast

Okay, so I’m thinking how I just better go on and get this observation out. Just get it out there and excise it from being stuck in my craw! Wendy Williams is my gurl, y’all/ya’ll know this. She’s a in your face presence that cannot be denied and although I love her g-mogul style, there are times I gotta speak my mind and have my say. Wendy, gurl, as a lesser known, or, a no known voice in gossip,my words might not phase your strong sensibilities at all, but, here goes and “How You Doin?!”

So, you had Draya Michele, the 26 year old former stripper/dancer, Bballer hookups and Chris Brown amour on your Tuesday show and Wendy, I have to say, you were a regular commando in your questions! Why in the world did ya have to be sooo down like that? We were all young and ignorant of how people will perceive us down the road on living life, but, the woman is coming to terms with what she’s done and seems genuine in finding her true path! Wendy , I’ve seen you be tough on some of the more seasoned folks on your show, but, gurl, this takes the cake!

Draya has a lot of stuff coming at her from those older, jealous & gossipy Basketball Wives LA… She needs a mentor, or, at the very least someone in her corner. You didn’t seem too pleased either when Draya called out that bug hiding in your wig - just sayin’. Gurl, we can only imagine the words your cue card hid from viewers as you tossed that mane about during a commercial break:) Gurl, did ya give Draya a piece of your mind about her obvious bug faux pas?  Curious minds and g- moguls alike just wanna know. Anyhoo, Wendy Williams, you still my gurl. But, please lighten up on the interview commando tactics …at least be more selective?

Speaking of? Did you really mean to mock Kris Humphries and say how he ‘s not a good basketball player? Anyhoo, Wendy thanks for the fodder your show provides. Now, just one more question? Do you really think Ricki Lake is destined to win DWTS?
