Memory Lane Has Huge Speedbumps

So over the last few days I have been reminiscing all the great R&B artists and songs from late 1990's to early 2000 like Mya, 112, Kelis, SWV and it has been great! Many songs were sung (badly) and danced too that brought back all the good memories.

It was bound to happen when the question arose "What ever happened to those guys?" Of course in some cases we could easily reflect on the VH1's Where Are They Now segments- one of the best ones to date is of Ronald Devoe of ell Biv Devoe and his current employment as a real-estate agent. The best was parading the flier which announced he was the "'New Edition' to the team." Ouch. Oh look...I even found the ad!



The first artist I looked up was the group 112 to see what they have been up to. While Wikipedia had noted that all of the members had tried to have solo careers of their own, that they were unsuccessful and that as early as the beginning of this year they had joined forces again and were planning on releasing a new album! ...then I saw that Slim had opted out of the reunion and since there has been no word on the new album or what is taking place. Booo!

Next I just so happened to look up Sisqo (who isn't doing much solo) which in turn led me to look up Dru Hill. While I saw that the group had attempted to get back together and put out a new album, one of the members had a last minute change of heart- live...on the radio! Eek!

Watch the video below to see the full reunion and break up of Dru Hill- all which lasts about 5 minutes.



Sometimes it's better not to know.

Farrah Fawcett Oscar Update!


So apparently Farrah Fawcett wasn't forgotten in the Oscars, she just wasn't important enough to mention. While the Academy is getting much flack for leaving Fawcett out of the In Memoriam, they have said that their reasoning is that not everyone can be mentioned. Why don't we take a look at some of the mentioned they cared to mention:


Monte Hale (Who?)
Michael Jackson (Because he was such an amazing "actor")
Army Archerd (Oh, that famous actor! No he was a columnist. Hmm...)
Betsy Blair (Who can forget Betsy Blair? You know she was in that one movie...with that guy.)
Brittany Murphy (Who was young and pretty....kind of like Farrah was when she first started acting.)
Tullio Pinelli (Passed away at the ripe age of 100 and wrote many movies with names I cannot pronounce.)



Judging by the people who were on this list, they were all either 80+ or they were young and sexy and died tragically. So obviously she should have been 81 or have died even more tragically than with that silly old colon cancer.

Sorry Farrah. You will live in the rest of our memories.
