“Being in control of what I do is the best.”–Zendaya
Zendaya.
Actress. Singer. Dancer. Zendaya.
I’ve said it before (on #TalentedTuesday) I’ll say it again Zendaya is amazing and her voice incredible. She’s a little hip-hop, a little pop, a little R&B, a little 90s—but all Zendaya.
Listen for yourself. Below is the album version and acoustic version of her song “Replay” from her self-titled album released in September of 2013.
“I’m kind of creating my own music and I’m kind of creating my own zone, my own lane as an artist. I want to do rhythmic pop,” the artist told MTV News.
Actor, former “Late Night” host and SNL alum, Jimmy Fallon, made his debut as a new host of The Tonight Show: Starring Jimmy Fallon. Check out some clips below.
For one thing, the late night landscape has changed. The hosts — like Conan O’ Brien and Jimmy Kimmel — skew younger. And with Fallon, NBC hopes the audience will too.
While one-time host Johnny Carson has been the template all future hosts emulated, Fallon says he will fashion his stint after a different host: The original host, Steve Allen.

The Miami Heat and First Lady Michelle Obama team up for a new Let’s Move PSA. Her reaction at the end makes me chuckle; I can’t picture another FLOTUS doing this PSA. Can you? If so who?
Also since it’s a health related PSA, what gets you moving? How do you stay health and fit?
The pop culture boss, who is, Andrea Valeria recently released new vlog called “Do What You Love” and I wanted to share it here.
I couldn’t agree more with the gal who overdoses in pop culture. Why spend life doing something that doesn’t or only makes you somewhat content with life?
Do something that ignites the fire in you and makes you happy that you’re getting out of bed everyday!
Chime In: What makes you happy? Are you doing that thing? If not, why not?
Saturday Night Live took a jab at itself–with guest host, Kerry Washington in tow–after several SNL cast members and the media began asking why aren’t their any black women on the late night laugh fest which is now in its 39th season.
Michaels said he is focused on finding an African American female cast member for the NBC series, but he did not specify how soon it would happen.
“It’s not like it’s not a priority for us,” Michaels said in an interview with the Associated Press on Thursday. “It will happen. I’m sure it will happen.”
As the boy is pummeled, the bus driver John Moody yells at the assailants to leave the boy alone.
He also asks dispatchers to send help.
“You gotta get somebody here quick, quick, quick, quick,” he says. “They’re about to beat this boy to death over here.”
“Please get somebody here quick. There’s still doing it,” he adds. “There’s nothing I can do.”
Moody, 64, says he was too afraid to step in.
“The three boys just jumped on him and started pounding on him. And I did all can,” he told CNN affiliate WFLA. “I was looking. It was like I was in shock. I was petrified.
Now some say the Florida bus driver’s pleas were not enough and that he should have stepped in.
Chime in: Do you think he should have stepped in?
Or considering his age and fear for his own safety it was okay for him not to intervene?
What can be done to ensure violence like this doesn’t happen on school buses?

Good with the cast of Cousin Skeeter. She played Nina in the 90s sitcom.
Meagan Good is catching heat from some on social media after the preacher’s wife donned a dress with a plunging neckline.
She wore the striking blue ensemble at the BET Awards while presenting the Best Gospel Artist award.
Good, who gained fame in the 90s in the Nickelodeon sitcom Cousin Skeeter, is married to Sony Pictures Executive and Seventh Day Adventist pastor Devon Franklin.
Below is a sample of the reaction on twitter:
Meagan Good know that dress was inappropriate to present a gospel award. Come on now
“I never forgot God was there for a second.. and would never be ashamed of what I’m wearing (in) front of him…,” Good responded to one person on Instagram. “He loves me for exactly who He created me to be despite what anyone else thinks…”
I’m not any less holy because the dress I wore -I may not be who people think I should be -but I’m morphing into exactly who God wants me to be.. My excuse is never “I’m going to do me” and I don’t feel that I need to make an excuse or defend or what I wore .. I know I have a responsibility -and I’m working daily to fulfill the full potential of all God has created me to be..
A dialogue was started about my character, integrity, my walk with God and my Husband -simply based on a dress that I wore.., Of course I’m going to have a reaction to people saying negative things… It’s just sad.. Makes me sad not regretful.. My heart and spirit is always open to whatever my Father would want to share with me… And my spirit tells me to be exactly who I authentically am -because that’s what’s going to reach who I was authentically designed to touch.. people like me who are often misunderstood and told their cut of God’s promise -because they don’t look the role …when God doesn’t care about us “looking the role”..he is always cared about bringing us in -and us being whatever we need to be to bring Those left out in ..
Chime in: Was the dress all good? Or do you side with the “social media motherboard” (as NewsOne puts it) who thinks it was too much?
