My Mic Sounds Nice: A Truth About Women & Hip Hop
BET aired their documentary ‘My Mic Sounds Nice: A Truth About Women & Hip Hop’ earlier this week and the timing of the programme is very apt with all the recent debate surrounding Nicki Minaj. The show highlights the rise of women in the male-dominated world of Hip-Hop, and features lots of great old school footage, as well as guest commentators including Roxanne Shante, MC Lyte, YoYo, Eve and Missy Elliott.
YOGI BEAR & THE SMURFS GO 3D!
When will it stop? Another couple of old school classics are now hit the big screen, and this time it's two cartoon classics that about to be turned into movies. Both The Smurfs and Yogi Bear will be getting the 3D treatment, with Dan Akroyd and Justin Timberlake taking on the voices of Yogi and Boo Boo in the latter. Check out the trailers and release dates here!
THE A TEAM
One of the biggest TV shows of the 80s, which was action-packed with car chases, shoot-outs and fist fights, keeping viewers at the edge of their seat throughout each episode. The theme of the show, as explained in the now iconic opening title, was four former Vietnam soldiers on the run from the US government for ‘a crime they didn’t commit’.
MICHAEL CHAMBERS
Most contemporary dancers and music superstars cite Michael Jackson as an influence. But how cool must it be to be able to say you were a direct influence on the ultimate entertainer, the best to ever do it, himself? Michael ‘Boogaloo Shrimp’ Chambers is one of very few who has that privilege, and it all kicked off when he was just a teen!

MICHAEL J FOX
NOW So Michael J Fox…. Love him! Always have. Always will. He was the actor I loved most growing up and I had to watch every film and TV show he was in. To say I was heartbroken when I first heard he had Parkinsons Disease back in 1998, is an understatement. But then I read his autobiography Lucky Man, and realised that he wasn’t feeling...
