Her Review: Gossip Girl, Season 3 Premiere!

Friday, September 18, 2009 by Samantha Clarke

Dr3's Uefa has started and so has my Gossip Girl! It's my guilty pleasure and the only TV I can manage to follow while keeping such a busy schedule. I'd like to go over a few of the highlights before the drama starts up again on Monday.

First off, what in the world was all that game playing Chuck and Blair were doing? The beginning of the episode turned my stomach when Chuck brought that chick home. Only to find out that the two of them planned to humiliate the girl. I think their final decision to role play was a much better choice, since they love to play games. Those two need help!

My heart goes out to Serena, who is going through such trouble to get her father's attention. I personally think she needs to get over it! But then again, that wouldn't make for good TV. But hooking up with Cristiano Ronaldo?! Really S?? (maybe Dr3 might be interested in watching now!) NOT.

Then Dan lies to his bestie Vanessa who is dating his half brother that he doesn't know about! Hahaha!!! Twisted right? Well that's Gossip Girl for ya.

Dan and the Humphrey clan are now filthy rich. I never thought that he would have made such a 180 from his usual trash talk about the rich kids of the Upper East Side. I hope he doesn't forget where he came from.

And Nate's dissent from his grandfather is getting old! He should know by now that his grandfather is a schemer. I hope he learns sooner rather than later.

Watch episode number 2 on Monday at 9 ET on the CW!

I promise to complete all my readings prior to watching the show.

Her Find: Successful - Drake ft. Trey Songz

Monday, August 31, 2009 by Samantha Clarke

This was my first favorite off of So Far Gone and now there's a video to match. It has a real powerful message of having a big dream and shows some amazing images of Drake and Trey in the place of some 'regular folk' ie. the doorman.

Also, I love verse 2 that Trey sings and his famous improvising towards the end. Just perfect.

Watch the vid and listen to the lyrics. Shot in Toronto, directed by Jake Davis.

Her Review: The Harder They Come @ The Canon Theatre

Sunday, August 23, 2009 by Samantha Clarke



I'm so glad I was able to see The Harder They Come while it was here in Toronto. As a Canadian with Jamaican heritage it was refreshing to see a such an iconic story brought to life on stage. My mom and I had a great time at the show. Never before have I felt so involved with what was going on on stage.

Before it all started the cast included the audience as they were filing into their seats. While staying in character, the actors spoke and introduced themselves- a pleasant experience for most I'm sure. Some of the cast were on stage singing and dancing as they celebrated the life of the hero, Ivanhoe Martin. Then at intermission one of the characters announced we had a 15 minute ganja break. Ha-ha! (not literally of course) The ending was another array of songs and the audience then stood and sang and danced along. I've never experienced anything like it in a theater.











I didn't get the chance to watch the famous film starring reggae great Jimmy Cliff prior to attending the play to be able to compare the two, but I hope to watch it soon.

If this play makes it to a city near you I strongly suggest you attend.

Her Commentary: Couples That Dress Alike... Yay or Nay?

Friday, June 26, 2009 by Samantha Clarke


I actually like these two, so I may be a bit partial to the situation in this instance. They're dressed in jeans, black leather jackets, and white tees and I'm sure it was totally planned.

It's a simple look and they both look great, however the idea of dressing exactly alike isn't always cute. I myself think it's cool to compliment each other, but I don't think I can plan to look alike like they did. Just a little on the corny side if you ask me. Check out Tom and Katie below, so not cute!

What do you think? Would you plan a matching outfit with your partner?

Her Find: The Dream - Kelly's 12 Play (Remix) feat R. Kelly

Wednesday, June 24, 2009 by Samantha Clarke



What do you guys think of R. Kelly on this remix? I think he overdoes his famous 'oooh' improv thing. Download it here.

I'm looking forward to his new album, Untitled, that's supposed to drop this September.

Her Joy: Gossip Girl - Season 3!

Friday, June 19, 2009 by Samantha Clarke


Ladies and gentlemen, the CW has recently announced September 14th as the official Season 3 premiere of Gossip Girl!!!

If you haven't been watching Gossip Girl there is no need to worry. You have plenty of time to get caught up. Seasons 1 and 2 are available on DVD and are definitely worth it. I don't remember high school being this drama filled or sexy. Then again, I didn't live on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, own a camera phone, or take a limo ride to school every morning. In fact, my high school experience was the complete opposite.




Nowadays, TV is not at all entertaining anymore. I'd much rather spend time doing something else like reading or riding my lambo (bike). Needless to say, my tastes have changed however one thing remains the same. Monday nights will be devoted to GG come September.

I'm not opposed to trying something new. So if there are any other shows worth watching let me know, I'm willing to tune in at least once.

Her Find: Jojo's "Houstatlantavegas" Remix

The original track off Drake's Mixtape, So Far Gone, was a banger and everyone knows Miss Jojo can sing. The combination is sweet!

Her Review: The E.N.D. by the Black Eyed Peas

Tuesday, June 9, 2009 by Samantha Clarke

The Black Eyed Peas have just released their fifth album, The E.N.D. and I couldn't help but ask if it really is THE END? Doesn't seem likely, it stands for The Energy NEVER Dies.

I gave all 15 tracks a try and just like the title promises, it's a seriously never-ending high-energy album. Probably great for a run, ride, walk, or hike!

It starts with the first single Boom Boom Pow, which happens to be one of my favorites. The song just makes you want to bop your head! Tracks like the second single, Imma Be and Rockin to the Beat have a real care-free feel to them. The infamous autotune is raging throughout the album and maybe could have been used a little less frequently. I have to say though that they managed to make another album that says Black Eyed Peas ALL over it. So if you like what they've done in the past, then you'll definitely like the album. I don't think it's a cover to cover album and probably won't get the repeat option on the iPod. Do you?

Her Review: Steve Harvey Gets Personal

Saturday, June 6, 2009 by Samantha Clarke


How many ladies have honestly thought about asking Comedian Steve Harvey for relationship advice? Me personally, not in a million years!

The radio talk show host and popular comedian points out in his book, Act Like a Lady Think Like a Man, that he felt he needed to speak on certain topics to help women better understand men. I appreciate that he is giving his honest advice and instruction about the male perspective on relationships, most of which women are clueluess about. After reading the first few pages, Steve made some solid points about women and men in general. I'll have to continue reading and get back to you on the real meat and potatoes!

Here’s what he had to say on the Ellen Degeneres show about the 90 Day relationship rule. It's funny, but TRUE ladies!:


Pick up Steve’s New York Times Best Seller, Act Like a Lady Think Like a Man: What Men Really Think About Love, Relationships, Intimacy, and Commitment and check back here for my review on some key topics he raises.


Happy reading!

Her Review: Lloyd's Mixtape - Lessons in Love 2.0

Thursday, June 4, 2009 by Samantha Clarke



One of my favorite R&B singers, Lloyd, has just released Lessons in Love 2.0 (the Mixtape!) and I couldn’t be happier. It's out 10 months after his third album, Lessons in Love, that dropped in August 2008. Young Lloyd includes 13 tracks with artists like Young Joc, Nelly, The Dream, and Fabolous. There are a few remixes to the original tracks on the Lessons in Love album, but more new work from the singer. Lookout for the remix to Year of the Lover and I’m Wit, in addition to one of his newest Do the Damn Thang.

I was excited, but a little nervous when I first listened to it. The bar was set extremely high by the first Lessons in Love with some really mature lyrics and smooth beats. I wasn’t sure if it was possible to meet or exceed the first effort, but to my pleasant surprise I’m happy to say Lloyd has done it again! I downloaded the mixtape, added it to my iPod and hit the gym last night where I could really devote the time it deserved to a good listen or two. A few tracks really caught my attention and got played on repeat and then a couple I could have lived without. I think Nelly was a little annoying in Lose Control, didn’t you? Luckily, Doin the Damn Thang, I Need Love featuring The Dream, and Love Spaceship kept me going.

Download Lessons in Love 2.0 here!

Lloyd is still my boy, I can’t wait for his fourth effort to drop! What about you?

xoxo, Sammy-Jo
