A First Friday Experience
Love Without Words The Spring Fever Edition of A First Friday Experience is here.  With so many people in the area yearning for the perfect thing to do to start their weekend off right, in comes First Friday.

Leave your worries at home and come out to unwind without a care of what the next person thinks about you.  Complaints, criticism, and negative energy are not permitted.  This is an adult environment and we expect you to enter it as such. 

The dress code is summer casual and it is strictly enforced.  No athletic wear of any kind.  We reserve the right to be selective.  Your overall attitude and appearance is also key to your entry.

Again, we have DJ GIFTED HANDS there to providing the soundtrack for the night.  Early attendance is highly recommended to ensure a maximum night of pleasure and entertainment. 

If you haven't placed your name on The Guest List at Music Man or Midtown Soul for a discounted price, be sure to do so today only.

Soul Comedy Cafe'
Love Without Words This month's edition of SOUL COMEDY CAFE' is a Mother's Day Special Event accompanied by an all female line up.  SOUL COMEDY CAFE' always tries to provide you with good quality comedy right here in the capital city. 

This month's headliner is the always honest and humorous...COCOA BROWN.
One-dimensional she is not and you will never see the same set twice. "Once I get rolling, I feed off of my crowd, I love bringing them into my world," explains Brown. "I believe in being able to give the crowd what they want and I'm able to take my set in any direction at the drop of a dime." Versatile Brown can deliver on command a squeaky clean 'there's-deacons-in-the audience' type of show and then make a 360-degree turn and give a show that would make even Redd Foxx blush.

Also on the bill are comedienne's SHATARA & MS. DARKCHILD.  Soul Comedy Cafe' is always hosted by Philadelphia's favorite comedian...TuRae! 

We are also giving away a DIAMOND NECKLACE & DIAMOND BRACELET courtesy of UNCLAIMED DIAMONDS in Philadelphia.  I'm sure your going to have to prove yourself worthy of these prizes in some way so please be prepared.

Malcom X assassin is freed on parole in NYC
Thomas HaganThe only man to admit shooting Malcolm X was freed on parole Tuesday, 45 years after he assassinated the civil rights leader.

Thomas Hagan, the last man still serving time in the 1965 killing, was freed from a Manhattan prison where he spent two days a week under a work-release program, state Department of Correctional Services spokeswoman Linda Foglia said.

Hagan, 69, has said he was one of three gunmen who shot Malcolm X as he began a speech at Harlem's Audubon Ballroom on Feb. 21, 1965. But Hagan has said the two men convicted with him were not involved.  Read more...

Regina King: More Black Women Should Date Outside Their Race
Regina KingOf all groups of people, Black women are the least likely group of women that will date outside of their race. When you have everyone else who is willing to explore but a Black woman is like, "I want me a brother," well, if the brothers are out and they're open to date everybody and the majority of Black women aren't willing to look twice when a man outside of their race is sending them messages, then that makes our percentage rate lower and the chances of finding love, because we're only looking in one specific place for finding love-with Black men.  Read more...

Denzel Washington Donates $1 Million to Steve Harvey During Glitzy Gala
Denzel Washington knows hot to make a statement
Love Without Words


At last night's well-heeled 1st annual Steve Harvey Foundation Gala, the two-time Academy Award-winning thespian didn't only show up to collect his award for his philanthropic efforts, he also brought his checkbook.

The recent Tony Award nominee donated $1 million to Harvey's eponymous foundation, which aims to mentor young men from underprivileged backgrounds.

"We don't usually make announcements about what we do, but we are going to put $1 million toward your organization," Washington told a stunned audience, shortly after accepting his award. "What this man and his wife are doing is too important. ... Anything we can do, I will be there. And anything we can do financially, we will do."

"We love and appreciate the work you guys are doing. Thank you for honoring me, but we came to honor you," Washington said before encouraging the audience - which included the likes of Common, Sherri Shepherd, Rev. Al Sharpton, boxing promoter Butch Lewis, Malik Yoba, BET honcho Debra Lee, Island Def Jam chief Antonio "L.A." Reid and Nicole Ari Parker- to do what they can.

On receiving Washington's donation, Harvey said, "I am stunned, but at the same time I'm not, because this gift exemplifies Denzel and [wife] Pauletta. Giving comes real easy to them and although that's surprising to a lot of people, it's not surprising to us."

Karl Singleton
#2 on the Ballot
Love Without Words

Fellow MLK-LDI Scholars, Steering Committee and Supporters:
 
As a Scholar, we went through sessions on leadership and supporting our communities. I am writing to inform you that I am currently in a tight race to elevate the quality of life, leadership and support for our communities from the State and Nation levels and I need your help.
 
The Friends for Karl Singleton Campaign was only 176 votes short of winning the 103rd Legislative District Seat in the Primary of 2008. Here we are two years and 1 day later with the opportunity to win this seat for the Common People appearing closer than ever, but I need your help. As a fellow candidate I am asking you to support this campaign to address the ills of education, economic development and crime which are ravishing the 103rd Legislative District. As we have learned, there is STRENGTH in numbers.....
 
If you are able to volunteer some time on Saturdays from 11:45am -2pm we do literature drops. We are also campaigning via phone and need your support to make calls from our database. Donations are always welcomed $1, $2 to $3 dollars or more can go a long way if enough people contribute.
 
At this point, the greatest needs of the campaign at this point are volunteers to hand out literature on Tuesday May 18, 2010 between the hours of 7am and 8pm at polls in the areas of Harrisburg, Highspire, Steelton and Swatara (1&3) and for you to participate in the 1-3-1 plan.

With Macy's
Diddy 2

Now having a distribution deal with the department store, Combs will have yet another outlet to showcase his Sean John brand in men's sportswear.
During a press event Wednesday, the man behind Bad Boy stated that Sean John has "done more than $1 billion of business at Macy's, and we plan to do a couple billion more."
Starting exclusively at 400 stores, they hope to extend it out to all stores, according to Chief Merchandising Officer Jeff Gennette.
By Spring 2011, Sean John men's sportswear will only be featured in Macy's.  Read more...
Basketball Wives Evelyn & Jennifer Discuss Dating A Baller and Staying With A Man Who Cheats

Jennifer & Evelyn

Over the weekend, I had the chance to sit down and chat with Evelyn Lozado and Jennifer Williams of the hit reality show "Basketball Wives". What I had planned to be a 15 minute chat turned into an hour long "girl talk" session about the ups and downs of being in a relationship with a professional athlete. The girls talked about everything from how they met their "baller", to infidelities and why they chose to stay in a relationship with a man who cheats. They also shared their thoughts on Royce, whether they think Gloria's fiance Matt cheats, Evelyn's nude photos and whether they are renewed for a second season.
