Airing this Sunday, May 19th is the Billboard Music Awards. So perhaps no one has truly watched this award show with genuine interest since he or she was about 14, but this show has its merits. There's some credit to be made for artists who can top charts for weeks on end, especially with such finicky audiences. And while some of us are sad to see great artists go mainstream, at least we know that they are competing for spots against some of the music industry's most wildly popular, and somewhat annoying, contestants. Let's hope that host Tracy Morgan can... CONTINUE READING 12

I’m here every week to give you the scoop on what I think…and hear what you have... CONTINUE READING 8

Wish Come True: Cellulite Banished!
It’s 11/11, and although I love my body, there’s something I’ve always wished for: skinny, cellulite-free legs.
