The World of Entertainment

When two reality stars join forces: Sarah Palin joined forces with Donald Trump. Palin: Are you ready to make America great again?

Glen Fry, 67, another creative genius from my generation has died. I remember singing along to the lyrics of Glen Fry and the Eagles. Soar free. Both Fry and David Bowie, 69, died in NYC after struggling with illness.


The Sundance Film Festival January 21-31, 2016 is about to begin. Great opportunities for films and performances. Who will win?


The next award show is the SAG Awards on January 31.


February 28th brings the 2016 Academy Awards - this year more drama off screen than on about black actors overlooked by the academy. I am all for change. Diversity is definitely needed. I think Chris Tucker should host the show. I'm not a fan of Jada Pinkett Smith - always had too much attitude for me. Black or white I find the energies of "attitude" offensive. It comes from a place of anger, frustration, and usually rage - most often associated with teenagers but definitely brought into the adult world. I'm also not in favor of boycotting the Oscars. There are too many people who need to be there to network and to show support for others. A black boycott could cause greater drama and division. Then there something Sharon Osbourne said on The Talk, "there shouldn't be any award shows." Though I enjoyed them, it's like social media. If they no longer existed I would be fine with that, but as you now we are here for the emotions so they continue to the end.

Sun in Aquarius

Happy Birthday to my fellow Aquarius Readers.

Aquarius is a fixed air sign ruled by Uranus.

While typically intellectual and unconventional, Aquarians will sometimes
"change their minds"
regarding important issues. For the most part, we tend to "go with the flow".
