Here is “On The Radio” another amazing hit from an amazing woman.

There is a reason The Avengers made $200.5 million this weekend because it was the shit!!!! I watched Iron Man and admit it was a good movie but it made me fall asleep on 3 different occasions during it. For that reason and the horrible X-men movies I was hesitant on watching The Avengers. Marvel and Disney Studios made me come back to the light that is the super hero movie. The Avengers had great characters that felt like they were straight out of the comic book, amazing dialogue, comedy and action. After watching The Avengers I fell in love with Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth leading me to pick up Captain America The First Avenger on DVD and soon Thor as well. The delivery of Scarlett Johansson and Jeremy Renner as Black Widow and Hawkeye were flawless. The one character I was really doubting was Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk but he made the man and monster believable. The connection between Mark and Robert Downey Jr. was remarkable giving me a new love of Iron Man. I definitely recommend watching this movie and if you stay past the credits for an added bit of humor you will not be disappointed. I look forward to a second movie. Avengers Assemble!!!!

So as they say for every birth there is a death and we are sad to say goodbye to Adam Yauch AKA MCA of The Beastie Boys. On May 04, 2012 Adam succumbed to cancer at the age of 47 after announcing his condition in 2009. The Beastie Boys took hip hop and punk and gave us Fight For Your Right To Party in the 80′s and continued to make outstanding music up until their recent induction into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Adam also was an organizer of the Tibetan Freedom Concerts after practicing Buddism and directed a documentary about basketball called Gunnin’ For That #1 Spot in 2008. Adam leaves behind wife Dechen Wangdu and daughter Tenzin Losel. Your fans are missing you already! Here is Paul Revere another early fan favorite of The Beastie Boys.

Last night was the Choke episode of Glee because during Racheal’s audition for college she forgets the lines to her favorite song Rain On My Parade and Puck fails a geography test he needs in order to graduate. That being said the second storyline was Coach Beast coming to school with a black eye and the girls making comments about her getting beat by her husband Cooter. Nene Leakes as Roz Washington over hears and is disturbed that the girls would think domestic violence is a laughing matter and confronts them about with fellow coaches Beast and Sue. Beast lies about being hit by a speed punching bag but eventually the truth comes out that she did get hit by her husband. What I loved was the further developement of Nene as Roz. Her character came out of nowhere this year and I think was brought on to antagonize Sue, which was funny on it’s own. Now she is getting more lines and turning into one of my favorite characters through humor that is priceless. I am a big fan of The Real Housewives of Atlanta just for Nene and if the series of Glee keeps her on I will continue to watch her as Roz. Another funny lady that actually had a bit of a serious role was Whoopi Goldberg. If you haven’t watched it yet catch it OnDemand if you have Comcast.

May 1, 2012 welcomed the birth of one of pop culture’s “Biggest” pregnancies since Beyonce, Jessica Simpson had little Maxwell Drew Johnson. After months of ridicule for being so big during her last months of pregnancy we finally understand what caused this for Jessica, her baby weighed in at 9 pounds and 13 ounces and 22 1/2 inches. I wish her all the luck and congratulations! Now I know what most of you are thinking because I was thinking the same thing, why Maxwell for a girl and what’s up with celebrities naming their children off the wall names? (ie. Apple, Blue, Blanket) This one however makes a little sense because it is the combination of both fiance Eric Johnson’s middle name Maxwell and Jessica’s mother’s maiden name Drew. Jessica much respect for having your bundle of joy but couldn’t you have waited to use that name for a boy in the future. Much blessings and good health to Maxwell in any regards.

Yesterday I went to see American Reunion just to catch up with the characters from the first movie. I was expecting a bunch of laughter and was let down. For all the great reviews that this movie got, to me it was a weak version of the original. Now don’t get me wrong, it was great to see what had become of all the characters but the theme of the movie being, things are not the same as they were in high school pretty much should have been a thought in making this movie. Just wait for DVD is my opinion. That’s all I have to say. :/

This morning April 18, 2012 a pop culture icon has passed away, the man I talk about is Dick Clark. After a severe heart attack in Los Angeles Dick died at the age of 82. Let’s just face it, without Dick we would not have amazing New Year’s Eves. He also brought us great times on American Bandstand and The Pyramid game shows, as well as other television shows. He will be greatly missed and should know that no one will ever take his place.

Last night’s episode of Glee was a nod to 70′s film favorite Saturday Night Fever and I was cringing when I heard the first song. Ryan Murphy made the guys of the show try to sound like The BeeGees and let’s just face it you can’t come close. However the songs that I really enjoyed were Merecedes’s (Amber Riley) Disco Inferno, Santana’s (Naya Rivera) If I Can’t Have You, and Racheal’s (Lea Michele) How Deep Is Your Love. The song that blew me away the most was The Glee Project’s Alex Newell’s Boogie Shoes. I thought this kid was a bit on the annoying side when he was on The Glee Project but as Wade/Unique he stunned me. I was wondering how Glee was going to introduce a cross dressing character and they totally did in the best way possible. Next week we get Whitney Houston songs through the episode, hopefully we will see Alex perform again.

TruTV is doing an awesome job at some amazing reality television and one that has crossed my path is The Wiener’s Circle. In this show about a hot dog stand in Chicago you get a taste of the city’s personality, a game show, and just pure humor. The employees of this stand are Yolanda, Poochie, Kim, Erika, and Johnny. They work the night shift and deal with Chicago’s late night crowd, ranging from married couples, frat boys, crazy chicks, and drunks. Being from Chicago I cannot give this show anything but love but being in food service makes me love it double. The Wiener’s Circle gives you the chance to get your food free while doing things that the team decide you need to do. One of my favorite episodes was The Straw Catch when one chick took the box of straws that were already provided and won free food. Check it out and give Chicago some love with The Wiener’s Circle on TruTV and also located by Fullerton and Clark.
