Go See "Stomp The Yard"

Posted at

"Stomp The Yard," a major motion picture simulating the black college experience in Atlanta, Georgia, is now playing at a movie theatre near you, just in time for the Martin Luther King holiday.

Synopsis: A young man finds that the moves he learned on the street may help him make a better life for himself in this youth-oriented musical drama. DJ Williams (Columbus Short) is a 19-year-old growing up in Los Angeles; while DJ is at heart a good kid and a gifted street dancer, he runs with a dangerous crowd, and one night an underground dance competition turns into a brawl and DJ ends up in jail. DJ's younger brother has already died a violent death, and his mother, hoping to put him back on the straight and narrow, sends DJ off to Truth University, a historically African-American college in Atlanta. At first, DJ feels like a misfit at Truth, but when he gets a chance to show off his dancing skills, he attracts the attention of two campus fraternities. Greek life is a major presence at Truth, and each year the fraternities take part in a "stepping" competition, in which the members show off their synchronized dance moves.

DJ joins the ONO house, and is eager to help them take the championship away from their campus rivals, but in time he also comes to understand the brotherhood and community service that's a key part of his fraternity's background. DJ also has more on his mind than dancing and studying when he meets April (Meagan Good), a beautiful coed. Produced under the title Steppin', Stomp the Yard also stars Ne-Yo, Brian J. White, and Jermaine Williams.

"Being Bobby Brown" Get's Canned

Posted at

It is with great sadness that we have to inform you, the viewers, that the reality show, "Being Bobby Brown" has been cancelled. According to EurWeb, the show has been discontinued because it was stated that, "because not enough viewers were tuning in without the presence of his soon-to-be ex-wife, Whitney Houston". Too bad...I blame all this crap on that homewrecker..."SuperHead".
