WSPA-TV Reporter Charmayne Brown Attacked on Camera

Written by Celebrity Blogger on March 12, 2008 – 11:32 am -

I always wondered if reporters worried about their safety but I thought they’d be somewhat protected by the cameras. I figured that people would have sense enough to act decently if they knew cameras were on them.

Here’s a clip of a reporter being attacked by three women. I’m going to guess this is a racial issue, but I’ll leave it up to you to judge. Note, there are two different versions. The first one is more sanitized, which is to be expected since it’s from the station of the reporter who was attacked. The second clip is the same, but it’s the raw footage.

Hammond will be both the first female, and the first black person to hold the position of dean of the college.

Obama on a Hot Tin Roof

Written by Celebrity Blogger on March 4, 2008 – 11:03 am -

I feel like I’m writing about Barack Obama every day.

My goodness!

Well the latest, aside from that Ohio and Texas primary, is that he and his wife Michelle are expected to attend opening night at “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof”

In case you didn’t know, this play is the first production led by an all-black cast to be authorized by playwright Tennessee Williams’ estate. It features TerranceBaby WipesHoward, James Earl Jones, Phylicia Rashad and Anika Noni Rose.

My question is, why are people revealing Barack’s personal schedule like that? You can bet the Secret Service will be there in full force.

Denzel and Paulette Washington, Spike Lee, Bill and Camille Cosby, and Will Smith and Jada are also expected to attend.
