LiteraryDish.com Worldwide Exclusive- Norah Knows Why -The Nora Jones Interview + Wah Do Dem Movie Dish

@Copyright 2010. Photo credit by Autumn de Wilde

Norah Jones is one of my favorite singers of all time. Her voice is so soothing you can listen to her entire albums while working. If there is a song that always pops up in my head while cleaning are the words, ” I don’t why I didn’t come,” but of course your significant other is not thinking about an action as in come on over, but a movement so that tune may mean something different for lovers and it’s all good.  Upon surfing my Twitter account @LiteraryDish again, I came across Tavis Smiley tweet this time where he mentions ….

@TavisSmiley-  Looking forward to having Norah Jones & Dr. John on the @PBSshow next week!

A Twitter ish Dish Insider, Author of Grace of God mentions…

Norah Jones

The “Wah Do Dem” Interview

with Kam Williams

Norah Jones was born Geethali Shankar in Brooklyn on March 30, 1979 to Sue Jones and Ravi Shankar, the legendary Indian sitar player. At the age of 4, she and her mom moved to groovy Grapevine, Texas where she started singing in the church choir at an early age, while learning to play the piano, guitar and alto saxophone.

At 16, she changed her name to Norah Jones while attending Booker T. Washington High School. After graduation, she majored in piano at the University of North Texas until she decided to return to New York City to form a band. In 2002, she made a mellow debut with “Come Away with Me,” a universally-acclaimed CD which won 8 Grammy Awards and is the best-selling jazz album of all time at over 20 million copies and counting.

Keri Hilson Makes Fire in the Studio and Almost Burns Down Her Home with Electrical Fire

This week I was on Twitter a lot passing time from a trip that was rather boring. I am a New Yorker and truly appreciate the hustle of New Yorkers. What you see is what you get even though there are many surprises daily!

No offense, but I can never return to those days when I use to listen to my then living grandparents talk about slavery, protests, violence and Dr. Martin Luther King,Jr.

The stories are way too long and I prefer to read about world history in a book sometimes. Actually, reading a book is a great activity while drying your hair under the dryer, polishing your own toe nails, staying alert while cooking  and doing your one hour stair master routines if you own one in your home gym. Good for you.

LiteraryDish.com Listening Party- The Tony Love Experience+NEW ENDLESS LOVE ALBUM ON ITUNES

Why Did Kimora Lee Simmons Leave Baby Phat

73657452FH004_Kimora_Lee_Si

Reported by Heather “The Literary HEAT” Covington – (Author of The Disilgold Way and CEO/Owner of Disilgold Publishing)- Disilgold.com

Kimora Lee announced she is leaving Baby Phat on Twitter last night, a clothing line she’s been the image of for more than 15 years. The mega and very successful Hip Hop clothing line was conceived upon the buy out of her then rap pioneer husband , music and fashion mogul, Russell Simmons who left his Phat Farm line to work on new projects and realization that Kimora Lee’s new line was more in demand.

Like Baby Phat, Phat Farm represented a younger audience. Kimora Lee now merges onward with a more mature line called Kouture for young women to her own age and beyond and Russell Simmons spearheads the Argyle line both appealing to more mature consumers, but representative of post Hip Hop baby boomer style. Both former lines were as fresh and on point as the market allowed, but rather expensive.

Barack Obama is the first AA President- Did we Forget

Barack Obama’s popularity may be down this week thanks to all of the witch hunt stories made believable with constructed words by adversary media that sound like truth, but the most intelligent web surfers know the contrived stories I don’t care to mention are false and in awe over the Obama family unit. Never before has America seen a happy and successful black family in office. Every day of this man’s presidency and family should be a celebration.

Arrivals at Screen Gems “Takers” Premiere at Arclight Cinema Cinerama Dome in Hollywood California on August 4th featured are T.I., Chris Brown, Snoop Dog, Keri Hilson and Lala Vazquez.

T.I.’s stream line silver tie and light gray suit looks dapper and distinguished. Chris Brown plays up his image in the movie with leopard  sneaks against all black shirt and casual pants, but jazzes it up with a scarf tie and great color contrast that pops. Snoop Dog clashes a green t-shirt against a playful light blue baseball jacket like he’s arrived to see the movie and ‘forget y’all I’m Snoop.’

Keri Hilson is such a fashion plate and Lala Vazquez criss cross toga

Tiny at Screen Gems Premiere of Takersdraped mini is stylish and chic. Tiny’s hair is on point and pulls off this copper and silver duo  textured dress that mixes evening  pizazz with daytime silk.

Bill Bellamy’s vest added spunk to a pair of jeans along with a  G.Qish plaid collared long sleeved shirt.  Vests are a great tool for men who hate to fully press their shirts. I see a little wrinkly detail on the end of his sleeves, but we’ll let that one go. Abdul Williams added a tie to his casual jeans to dress up his laid back look while Director Erik White added a tailor made vest with black lace  trimmed pockets and matching cap. Leslie ‘saphrazzles’ with this royal blue Marilyn Monroe dress and barely there clutch and Terry Crews steals the show with ultra fine pen striped suit with classic sapphire red tie. Overall, the pic is our choice for best group pic at Lottery Ticket Premiere. Add the bright smiles and don’t you just love this bunch?

Bow Wow

The “Lottery Ticket” Interview

with Kam Williams

Bouncing with Bow Wow

Born Shad Gregory Moss in Columbus, Ohio on March 9, 1987. Bow Wow was a precocious kid who started rhyming as a toddler, and first appeared on stage at the age of 5. His showbiz career was launched just a year later when he made the most of an opportunity to open for Snoop Dogg on the Chronic Tour.

At 13, Bow Wow released his first solo CD, “Beware of Dog,” which sold over 3 million copies. A hit single from that debut album, “Bounce with Me,” reached #1 on both the Rap and R&B charts. That achievement earned him recognition in the Guinness Book of World Records as the youngest solo rapper to hit #1. He now has a half-dozen CDs to his name, with a new one in the works.

In 2002, the versatile canine expanded his repertoire, making an impressive foray into film playing the lead in Like Mike. He has since made All About the Benjamins, Johnson Family Vacation, Roll Bounce and The Fast and the Furious 3. On TV, he’s appeared on everything from Moesha to All That to Smallville to, most recently, Entourage.

Here, he talks about his new film, Lottery Ticket, an ensemble comedy where he stars as a guy who has to survive a weekend in the ‘hood before he can cash in a winning lotto ticket worth hundreds of millions.

Ice Cube still looks the same. Does the man every age? Naturi Haughton is everywhere lately and looks stunning. Jermaine Dupri shows that he still has his swagger  in a pin striped suit.  Bow Wow is like a mix of college preppy meets the hood with the arm tats. Can’t hide those. Tia Mowry is a natural red carpet glamour girl along with fresh faced actor Chris. Keith David and Comedian Brandon Jackson show they are the life of the party. There were many more arrivals we are updating. A lot of African Americans are employed in Lottery Ticket and what a blessing. It’s going to be the number one box office grossing film on August 20th thanks to Bow Wow with his 1.5 million fans of his music and growing.

Candid footage of Meteor Shower

What would you do if a meteor hit the earth right above you? Would you just stand there, look and say look how pretty? The answer to the question is you had better build a hole under the soft earth and run for cover. A meteor shower is nothing less than big balls of hail illuminated by moon’s light at night that could cause serious energy. The rocks from another floating piece of land in earth’s orbit  fall from millions of light years away so fast they are supposed to shatter into dust, but a few do reach the ground like pellets that can penetrate through your body at lightning speed.

In other words, don’t stand around the next time one comes around.  Here is footage of the meteor shower that has people who have never prayed a day in their life kneeling over to pray daily. That meteor shower didn’t happen by accident.  God’s fireworks are not playing around. Let’s all think about the meaning behind this shower. It is definitely a warning, but of what?

Dondria arrives with new album this week

Gospel listeners are about 12 million strong and I think this cut is a cross over hit for Dondria that may put her album over the edge despite an album title geared for younger audience. Dondria is one of Jermaine Dupri’s newest acts to hit the charts. The producer noticed the excessive hits to her YOUTUBE music snippets and immediately signed her to his record label. Her voice sounds amazingly sounds like her predecessor Beyonce’ who has her listeners reminiscing her soulful edge with new artist Dondria.

Kevin Powell Running for New York Congressional District Releases Statement About Ed Towns Suing Him

kevin-powell1

From Kevin Powell’s Site: www.KevinPowell.net

Good day to you all. Today is the day we go to court for democracy.

I find it very sad and contradictory that Congressman Edolphus “Ed” Towns, a 27-year Democratic incumbent here in Brooklyn, New York’s 10th Congressional District, is suing me. Like him, I am a life-long Democrat. Like him I was born in another state but came to Brooklyn at a relatively young age and served my community in a variety of capacities before seeking public office. And like Mr. Towns, who lived through the Civil Rights Movement and is now 76, I am African American.

naomifuneral500

This past week, Naomi Campbell was put in the hot seat at court with a subpoena to answer questions about some supposed “blood diamonds” she received as a gift at a big dinner party of Nielson Mandela at a charity benefit in Africa. The diamonds were supposedly given to her by Charles Taylor undergoing investigation for trading diamonds for weapons which have been used to massacre  people in Sierra Leone during a vicious war since 1992 to 2002. You have heard about this global travesty in books, poetry, the news and missionary stories.

Did Toure’ Make Lada Gaga Furious in FuseTV Interview

Toure’ interviewed Lady Gaga on Fuse TV today and began the interview with questions about the symbolism of her songs. If you listen carefully to the interview it looks like Toure’ pissed Lady Gaga off, but she tired to keep a neutral face. Her motions several times show she’s in disagreement with Toure’. The girl must have gone home in tears.

Not sure if the interview has been edited here, but this is one of the most candid interviews with Lady Gaga since the launch of her Monster tour. I knew I wasn’t misunderstanding her first song that aired on radio, Poker Face, but thanks to Toure’ now everyone gets it. Many folks thought she was talking about losing to a game of Poker. You learn something new everyday.
