Praise the Lord and Sue Sylvester! “Cheerleaders Can Use Bible”
When I first read the headline “Cheerleaders Can Use Bible” I thought, what’s new about that? They’ve been using bibles as makeshift knee pads for years under the bleachers. So gravel-y.

Quote of the Day: “Novel” aims from novelist Ames
I was told long ago never to deface a book, but I had to put an “X” beside this passage from Jonathan Ames‘s sometimes-winsome, frequently bittersweet, and thoroughly enjoyable 2004 novel, Wake Up, Sir!–courtesy of Ames’s protagonist, Alan Blair:

“America’s Got Talent” Mel B, Klum, Mandel & other wind up auditions in Chicago
Mel B and Klum join “other judges” as the popular NBC reality competition series winds up auditions in Chicago.

‘Muse’ and bonafide Rock Star Josiah Hawley FTW on NBC’s “The Voice” [TODAY SHOW VIDEO]
It’s coming down to the wire on The Voice, and Josiah Hawley is proving to be a skilled tightrope walker.
Forget the perfect hair, the mega-watt smile and corn-fed good looks. Wait, what the bleep am I thinking? Don’t forget any of that. Just know there’s much more. Much, much more. I know because I met the guy 100 years ago in 2011. The scene is South Beach, Miami. I’m in town for this or that and bring my camera along in case Next needed test shots done of their elite models.

“By the Way, Meet Vera Stark” — Goodman’s Chicago production is not to be missed [VIDEO]
Lynn Nottage, American playwright and Pulitzer Prize winner (Ruined), penned this play in which we witness the tremulous, torturous and hilarious life journey of an African-American actress by the name of Vera Stark. A production of the play is now running at the Goodman Theatre in Chicago, though June 2.
“By the Way, Meet Vera Stark” originally debuted off-Broadway in 2011. It examines the ugly stereotypes black actors had to endure during the 1930s via the fictitious character, Vera Stark. Vera was invented by Nottage but, make no mistake, she is a composite — a mimeograph if you will — of every black actor (male and female) who tried to “make it” in Hollywood, but was relegated to bit parts as maids or worse because of their skin color and others’ social ignorance.
Dorothy Dandridge comes to mind.
