April 17, 2013 I got the chance to catch up with my friends Levette and Chris at Shreve Memorial Library this morning to talk about their big book sale this weekend. You can books for just 25 cents!!! The sale happens twice a year and it's a great opportunity to stock up!
March 5, 2013 It's a gumbo battle royale this Saturday from 11am-3pm at Festival Plaza in Shreveport. Gumbo Gladiators is a benefit for the Volunteers for Youth Justice.
First, Chris Brown defiantly deleted his Twitter account last fall after fighting with a writer. Then he expressed that he felt persecuted like Jesus Christ by painting a picture of himself after the epic brawl with Frank Ocean -- which erupted not over a song or a beat or even a girl, like Rihanna, since Ocean likely isn't into her after coming out, but a PARKING SPACE OF ALL THINGS.
Now, Breezy has further likened himself to Jesus Christ in the social media space by "detaching himself from that world" and deleting his Instagram.
Lady Gaga unleashed a torrent of tweets, sharing a cryptic message about 'ARTPOP' that could be a thinly veiled lyric. She also explained how her Born Brave Bus will work on the North American leg of the Born This Way Ball tour.
Janet Jackson is getting married again, this time to an incredibly rich man. Her betrothed is a billionaire.
Celebs, by virtue of their gigs, have tons of fame and fortune, but many of them never forget to show their support of the less fortunate. DoSomething.Org has named its Top 20 list of Celebs Gone Good for 2012, with Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus topping the list of the most charitable celebs. Fellow pop stars like Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Pink and more were also recognized.
Want to see Rihanna's nude fragrance ad? And no, it's not like that. While RiRi is fond of showing skin at any and all times (dinner, nights on the town, videos, while shopping), the singer isn't nakey nakes in the ad for her newest fragrance Nude. She's actually draped in swaths of soft pink fabric and peach hued lingerie.
September 28, 2012 18-year-old Willie Jones III of Shreveport, also known as 'Trey," wowed the X Factor judges last Thursday night. Willie turned 18 this past Sunday and graduated from Captain Shreve High School earlier this Spring.
What a fitting title for Soundgarden's brand new single, since for all intents and purposes, they had 'Been Away Too Long.' Diehard fans of the Seattle band have missed them for the past several years, and while the reunion, live performances and 'Avengers' song 'Live to Rise' have been rad and appreciated, this is the beefy, puts-hair-on-your-chest Soundgarden rocker we've been waiting for.
Although NBC's hit competitive reality talent show 'The Voice' didn't win any Emmys this year, losing the award for Outstanding Reality-Competition Show to CBS's 'Amazing Race,' at least it was nominated. And it doesn't mean the Adam Levine, Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green and Blake Shelton-coached series lacks a decent fan base. It doesn't, and the recent announcement from NBC that 'The Voice' is getting renewed for both a fifth and sixth season is proof of that.
