THE SHOWS 

Confession time. When White Collar ended, my son and I needed something to fill the void. Netflix and some of you guys told us that Suits was the answer. Well, it's official, we're obsessed. Harvey, Mike, Rachel, Donna and our favorite, Louis. We are in deep. We've been desperately trying to catch up prior to last nights premiere. We're almost there. As of last night, we're on Season 4 episode 3. The problem is, it's impacting my nightly viewing. Between my girlfriends birthday gift (1 hour foot massages) homework and Suits, I was only able to see Empire last night. We were hoping that Snowmeggedon would help, but since it was a bust, this is our current plight. So my apologies. If all goes well, we'll be caught up and back on schedule within a week or two. 

Empire
I'm so glad that Lucious told Anika about his ALS, but was it me or did she take that terrible news a little TOO well. She helped him shave and then got her game face on and went to work. No questions? No "lets see a specialist" No hysteria? It's tough in the hip hop world. I would have freaked out, made a million phone calls and gotten on Web MD. Not Anika, she went to the office and dealt with Cookie's crap instead. Now that Kid Fo Fo's gone they need someone big and Titan is their guy. One small problem, he's in jail for shooting a guy at the club and he's with another label. When Anika and Lucious met with his guy at a diner they got a drive by shooting along with their coffee and meet and greet. No big deal, no police, nothing. Lucious and Anika just went back to the office. Cookie went another route. She went to see Titan's Mommy who, as it turns out, is into the Nation of Islam. Lucious's Dad was killed by the NoI but for money, he'll take one for the team. So he played his Nation's of Islam card, did the heart pounding thing and got Titan to sign on. Pretty sure that's going to be a problem for Bill Beretti, Titan's current label guy. Anyone recognize Bill? It took me a minute but HOLY BREAKFAST CLUB...that was Judd freaking Nelson! Man he looks nothing like his Brat Pack former self does he? I don't know what was more hypnotic. Judd, Portia's hair or Becky's arms. Naomi Campbell was back and in the tub with Hakeem just in time for Tianna to catch them. Tianna's another tough one who's all business. She didn't let it phase her at all. She put on her game face and kicked ass at the Teen Choice Nominations concert. These Empire women are tough chicksJamal's living in Bushwick, now that Daddy's not paying his rent. He may be sharing his new place with giant cockroaches, but he's using the experience and the sounds of his new surroundings and putting it all into his music. I hope this doesn't offend anyone but doesn't Jamal seem like the straight one and Hakeem like the gay one? I can't explain it. Hakeem may wear all the bling and get in the tub with Naomi Campbell, but I honestly think he could be gay too! I admit, my gaydar stinks but there's something about Hakeem. I just can't put my finger on it. Can you imagine if Hakeem and Jamal were both gay? How would Lucious handle that news? 

THE OTHER STUFF

-I wrote about The White Queen on Starz last Summer. I loved it and totally recommended it. The good news is that now all 10 episodes are FREE on Amazon Prime. So if you've already watched EVERYTHING on my binge list (especially Friday Night Lights) and are in need of some  juicy historical fiction, The White Queen is for you. Beautiful naked women, hot guys, lots of drama, kings, queens and fights all for free!

-Big Thursday night tonight. Scandal's back and the case of Kleenex is in place for the final episode of Parenthood. Tears are falling now in anticipation! Hope I can type afterwards! Good luck to all of my fellow Parenthood fans.
