There is only one week left of X Factor competition before season 2 comes to a close so we still have a little L.A. to look forward in our lives but he will NOT be on the judging panel next year.

Marvin Gaye’s Son Does Not Want Lenny Kravitz To Play His Father

Marvin Gaye III Calls The Project "Shameful"
Posted by: Shannon on December 3, 2012| 5 Comments
Celebrities arrive at the 35th Annual Kennedy Center Honors in Washington, D.C.

Last week we learned that Lenny Kravitz had been cast as the lead in the upcoming Marvin Gaye biopic. I, for one, thought the casting choice was pretty much on point, and a few of you thought the same. There had been so much uproar over Zoe Saldana‘s casting in the Nina Simone biopic, and I really didn’t expect that kind of backlash here. But Marvin Gaye‘s son (Marvin Gaye III) has come forward asking Lenny Kravitz (a former schoolmate and friend to this day) to pull out of the project. Click inside to learn more.

Carrie Underwood Will Star In NBC’s ‘The Sound Of Music’

Your Thoughts?
Posted by: Shannon on December 1, 2012| 6 Comments

The Sound Of Music with Julie Andrews. One of the many movies of my childhood. Like, for real. And it’s getting some sort of live remake on NBC… which is fine! I’m fine with that! Not sure if I’ll be tuning in… but I’m fine with it. And although I haven’t listened to much Carrie Underwood lately, I understand that she’s crazy talented and well-respected so this can’t be too bad of an idea… right? Click inside to learn more!
