When football superstar Steve McNair was found shot twice in the head and twice in the chest on the Fourth of July, with 20-year-old Sahel Kazemi lying dead at his feet, a lot of people summed it simply: cheating football player dead.
Although he died nearly two weeks ago, I wonder if Michael Jackson will ever get to rest in peace. From his face to his kids to his will, the Jackson family circus is in the news every day.
You can’t have a funeral for a magazine, but there’s a generation of hip-hoppers mourning for Vibe, the mag that told their stories.
Get ready for a little boom, humbug! Yes, food, family and fun — it’s how we enjoy the Fourth of July.
No one understood why her smile fell into a straight line over an area code. But when my friend’s new cell phone plan couldn’t support her Michigan number, a tiny rain cloud seemed to have taken over. She considered paying extra just to cling to three little numbers: 989. People didn’t get it. It’s just a phone number was the sentiment at the store.
It started in the bathroom. We were just standing there, staring in the mirror. In the midst of perfecting our hair and make-up, my friend started talking about gray hair and wrinkle cream.
I hid behind the couch with my hands over my eyes, trying to peer through the cracks between my fingers. While my mama watched one of her favorite singers turn into a werewolf, I slowly went from being scared to feeling amazed. I was just a toddler when Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” video aired for the first time. It didn’t take long for me to mimic the zombie dances.

The cell phone — a gift and a curse. It’s the gadget I love to hate. Sure I admire the BlackBerry, Palm and iPhone with all the fancy features. But the addiction to texts, picture mail and horrid headsets that comes with them? Not so much.
In life, having a team of people you can count on is essential. In business, it’s just as necessary. Sometimes the two intersect. Laura Caron says good support at work helped her have peace of mind at home.
As soon as I pulled up to the farm, there he was, standing at the door with a great big smile. Leroy Shatto, the milkman. When I met him three years ago, he gave me and a friend two bottles of Shatto milk and drove off in his white truck with a horn that moos.
For certain girls and women, the fight over queen-bee status is unavoidable. That old movie “Mean Girls” was on to something with its tale of imperious and backhanded behavior among girls who thrive off alpha domination. And we’ve seen the claws come out frequently in the celebrity world:
Kelly Ann Allen is a local girl through and through. She grew up in Independence, went to William Chrisman High School and now she owns Spool, the lively little shop on the West 18th Street boutique row in the Crossroads.
Is the art of conversation dying? Not instant messages and cell-phone chats. Real communication, as in, you actually talk to the person — face to face.
I was a bit of a tomboy growing up. I liked to ride my bike, jump the curb and stand up while pedaling.
Another day, another racial controversy at the Power & Light District. For a year, the black community has been in arms about perceived racism at the entertainment district, a place their tax money helped fund. But it’s always rebutted. Everyone is welcome at the P&L, officials say.
I never thought relationship status would be an issue when it came to friendships. But the older I get, the more complicated friendships become — especially when men are involved.
Toddlers are fascinating people. They are learning their first words, taking their first steps. You never know what you’re going to get. But even with all the surprises, no one expects cancer.
Have you ever felt so happy you just want to scream? I’m talking about that Tom Cruise kind of moment on Oprah’s couch, jumping-up-and-down crazy happy.
When California’s Supreme Court upheld a ban on same-sex marriages this week, it was not the end of the debate.
