"Friday Night Lights" Has Been Renewed!

The network and DirecTV have finalized a deal for a 26-episode order (two seasons of 13 episodes each) to the series about a Texas high school football team.

Under the pact, "Friday Night Lights" will continue to premiere on DirecTV with a second window on NBC.

Praise the lord above! Yes baby, yes! [woot woot!] This is the best (TV-related) news I've heard all year. Despite its critical acclaim, everybody knows that the series was *this* close to getting canceled, due to it's low ratings. But the Gods over at NBC and DirecTV must've worked up some magic because not only is Friday Night Lights coming back, it's coming back for two more seasons! This show has got to be one of my favorite shows of all time (up there with Veronica Mars), so you wouldn't understand how happy I am right now. This past season was stellar from beginning to end and was on par with the amazing first season. I'm hearing that my babe Adrianne Palicki (Tyra) will not be a "regular" next season, which will be a total bummer if true.

Anyhow, check out some 30 second promos real quick:





Taylor Kitsch is reason enough for you to start watching this excellent show.









Now if only Dollhouse and Reaper could follow the same fate. I guess that'd be asking for too much.

"Obsessed" Featurette

After seeing Beyonce's stellar performance in Cadillac Records, I think that this movie is a step in the wrong direction. I have a friend who went to a screening of this movie a few weeks ago and his exact words were, "It was very predictable but entertaining nonetheless." Go figure. Regardless, you can bet I'm going to go see this when it hits theaters on April 24th. Beyonce and Idris Elba in the same film? I'm so in there.

Carlos Covers "Sensitif" Magazine (April '09)

I have NO idea what his last name, as a matter of fact, I don't know anything about him. All I know is that he's hot (and Portuguese) and that he's on the cover of the April issue of French magazine, Sensitif.

Que Of Day 26 Breaks Down On Making The Band 4

Wow, that shit was crazy. I have no clue what the hell is going on with Que, but whatever it is, it's deep. No one is that angry, all the time, for no reason. This kid is going through something that's eating him up inside and if he doesn't come to grips with it, he might be left without a career.

Next week's episode looks insane. I mean, what the hell? Should we be expecting a breakup announcement soon? Shoot.

Crystall Ball...

I don't know what's wrong with me you guys... I've been extremely sad all day, for no apparent reason. I mean, it's 4 a.m. and here I am, up, blogging, listening to P!nk's Crystall Ball...

Drinking wine and thinking bliss, is on the other side of this
I just need a compass and a willing accomplice
All my doubts that fill my head are skidding up and down again
Up and down and round again, down and up and round again.

Oh, I've had my chances and I've taken them all.
Just to end up right back here on the floor.
To end up right back here in on the floor.

...thinking about my life; my past, my present and my future. I've been thinking a lot... I find myself just laying in bed, gazing and staring at my ceiling... asking myself questions I don't have answers to.

Why didn't I get the chance to say goodbye to my grandmother? Does she know how much I miss her? Does my mom know how much I love her, regardless of how "stubborn" and "bad" I might be in her eyes? Where would I be without the few people who have stuck beside me through thick and thin? Where will I be if God forbid, one day they're no longer here? Am I doing the right thing? What path do I take? Why don't I give a fuck? Why aren't there any good men left in this world? Why, in a room filled with close friends, do I feel so lonely?

Sorry for the downer post, I just needed to vent... without really saying much, yet saying everything I needed to say. I'm OK though, just have a lot of shit in my head. Tomorrow is a new day. =]

Rodney Jerkins: "Beyonce Paved The Way For Keri Hilson"

Alright now, I see what you're doing over there Mr. Jerkins. Producer Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins had a sit down with Blackarazzi.com in which he talked about Keri Hilson and her Beyonce "diss record."



I completely agree with Rodney Jerkins, though I also think that Keri Hilson has benefited a bit from all the publicity she has recieved regarding her diss record. That being said, she looks like a clown coming at an artist of Beyonce's caliber. Girl, please. I'm a need for you to sit your ass down somewhere.

What Would You Do?

ABC News conducted two experiments in which they tested Americans' open-mindedness and tolerance levels. In the following video, we see what happens when a gay couple displays affection at a sports bar.



In this video, we see what happens when a black women is harassed by a sales clerk at an upscale Manhattan store.



It was hard for me to watch these videos, as it hits close to home. One would have to be a fool to think that discrimination no longer exists in this country, regardless of the strides we have made in the last couple of decades. If I would have been a spectator in either scenario, I would have definitely said/done something in their defense. That type of behavior should not be tolerated by anybody and it's so sad that we still have to deal with shit like this at this day and age. Damn shame.

Alex Rodriguez On The Cover Of "Details" Magazine (April '09)

Alex Rodriguez, one of the most beautiful men in the world (in my opinion) and Steven Klein, one of my favorite photographers ever, recently teamed up to create the marvelous editorial featured in the April issue of Details Magazine.

So simple, yet so [fucking] hot. Excellent.

Pharrell Williams vs. McDonalds

Hip-Hop producer Pharrell Williams stops at a McDonalds a little too early and begs for some food! Hilarious.



Ugh, he can still get it, don't you agree?

Lil' Romeo All Grown (And Tatted) Up

Well not really... the tattoos are fake. The pictures were taken at Melanie Segal’s Kids’ Choice Awards Lounge yesterday. There's nothing Lil' about Romeo anymore. Damn.

Juelz Santana Clears Up Gay Blogger Comments

Rapper Juelz Santana has been catching a lot of heat for his recent gay remarks:

I think the internet is a plus and a minus. For one, it’s the best promotion, though, in the world especially when you don’t have an album out at the time it’s a beautiful way of promotion, you know what I’m saying? And it’s free promotion at that. I don’t really entertain the bloggers or the comments and stuff like that. Anybody that has time to sit and type at they computer might be gay to me. I mean just typing a comment. You could be typing and talking to somebody, but typing a comment on something that you see is kind of crazy to me.

Juelz claims his comment was misunderstood and issued an apology to those who were offended.



I think that a lot of entertainers are careless and don't watch what they say, because they're ignorant or because they simply don't care, but as soon as they start getting called out for their comments, they feel the need to apologize or claim that they were misunderstood. Right. In this day and age, anything you say or do can and will be used against you, so you have to watch your ass before they tear it up, no pun intended. Juelz seems like a cool dude but he's as ignorant as they come. And though I don't think he meant any harm with his comment(s), the fact that they even came out his mouth makes him seem all the more oblivious.

(Virtual) Keri Hilson vs. Ciara

This is the funniest shit I've seen in a while. Whoever did this deserves props. I <3 it. I guess the Beyonce/Ciara diss has worked in her favor; nobody knew who the hell she was before!



Talking about Keri Hilson, her album, In A Perfect World, was finally released this past Tuesday and is on track to sell about 90,000 records, according to Hits Daily Double. Mhm, not bad for a chick who's album has been postponed about five times and has release about four flop singles.



I personally am not a fan of the girl, but I wish her the best of luck. I listened to her album yesterday and only enjoyed a handful of songs, mostly due to the brilliant (yet dated) production courtesy of Danja & Cory Bold. Nonetheless, nothing about her stands out. She seems like another mediocre, bland R&B chick trying to make her mark, with just a tad bit more cockyness. Meh, I'll pass.
