Malieka Adero and Zane

  • There is more to Zane than meets the eye. She has just issued a statement decrying the homophobia that has been launched against her newest book, Purple Panties. Apparently, people are saying her books are too raunchy. Zane strikes back saying that no one complained about her other books such as "Succulent" and "Dear G-Spot." What's the difference? Purple Panties is lesbian erotica. (Photo on the left is Zane and her editor. Zane is wearing black.)
  • Mother's Day isn't just about flowers and breakfast in bed. For the daughters whose mothers have passed away, or who just weren't/aren't available, Carleen opens her big heart.
  • Despite box office gold and the star power of Debbie Allen, Phylicis Rashaad and Terrance Howard, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is shut out of the Drama Desk Awards. I didn't see it. Some people are really annoyed, but others say it is justified. Your thoughts?
  • LL Cool J will star in a new TV series being developed called The Man. It will be the first prime-time drama with a black male lead. (That last sentence was my statement. I think it's true. By "lead," I mean a story that revolves around a single character.)
