Toddlers’ Favorite Toy: The iPhone

In the next 20 years people will be robotic rhinos. Meaning, these kids need to get their butts off the couch playing video games, off the internet (walk to the library, the two or three we have left), and start making calls (I need to do this). Do they even know what their friends voices sound like?

I'm just sayin'...

K-Ci and JoJo go reality TV route in their battle against alcoholism


So, K-Ci and JoJo have followed the new tradition of many celebrities with lets say, a little bit of a diminishing spotlight on their career... Garnering your own reality show!!

Like many people I love K-Ci and JoJo and their legendary group JoDeCi, but like many people, I have also read or heard of their alcoholic and sometimes drug induced, crazed behavior.

Well "TV One" has captured their battle in the new reality show, "K-Ci and JoJo...Come Clean".

Can't wait to check this out. Only if I had DirecTV.  Cablevision....... GET WITH IT!!!!!

Check out TheGrio.com's article on the show.
