Just when you thought Omarosa was gone for good…she is BACK! For someone who professes to be so smart and brilliant, I don’t understand she why she doesn’t get a regular job and leave us alone. It seems she’d want to go back to working at The White House in the age of Obama. It’s been YEARS since she first came on the scene as the villain on The Apprentice and we haven’t been able to get rid of her since. She’s been on four or five reality shows and has made numerous appearances on shows like Fear Factor. Omarosa is the reality star with nine lives.

I saw “This Is It,” over the weekend. With all the buzz and advertising hoopla which was stamped with a two week expiration date, I felt compelled to see the movie and I’m so glad I did. Watching this film was like peeking into the laboratory of a mad musical scientist and getting a rare glimpse of a genius at work.

When I read there was going to be a sequel to Stomp the Yard, I was thinking, really? The Graduate Chapter? The PhD students still dancing or should I say, stomping the nights away? I thoroughly enjoyed the first movie. I watched compelled by the story while reliving my days of college past. But there were many moments when I struggled with the mustaches, deep voices and mature physiques. I just couldn’t get past how old everyone at Truth University looked, but it’s no wonder. When the movie was filmed Columbus Short was 25 years old.

I missed “The Good Wife” Tuesday night though I had not planned to. After a mere two episodes I have found myself hooked on this show. With the many scandals we have witnessed in America, especially politically, starting with Marion Barry and Bill Clinton to Mark Sanford and John Edwards, there have been numerous “good wives,” who have (seemingly) stood by their man in the face of infidelity and betrayal. Its earth shattering enough to have your lover/spouse cheat on you.

Due to a back injury, I was slow getting out of the gate to promote HOLLYHOOD. But once I started, I was off and running and there were loads of folks there to cheer me on.

At my launch party in Brooklyn, people came out in the pouring rain to celebrate my accomplishment and show their love. A lot of people! Neighbors, co-workers, fellow writers, friends new and old were in the house.

On Thursday, September 24th @ 7:00 pm, I will be at Brownstone Books in Brooklyn. Bed-Stuy to be exact. Hope to see you there!

A certain web designer has been imploring me to write blogs since and before he designed valeriejoyner.com. "You need to blog," he says emphatically each and every time we speak. It's not that I don't agree with him...kinda. It's just that lately I have been unmotivated and uninspired to write much of anything other than an email. Twice a week I wake up determined to write a posting and never get passed four sentences, which does not equal a blog. It's another email.
