| Happy Birthday 'Willona Woods'! #JanetDubois turns 69! [details] Posted: 05 Aug 2014 01:33 PM PDT  HAPPY BIRTHDAY Jan'et Dubois!!! We all know and love her as 'Willona Woods' from the 70's sitcom, 'Good Times', but there was much more to Ms. Dubois! Jeannette "Ja'net" Dubois (pronounced jâ·nā dü·bô; born August 5, 1945) is an American actress and singer. Dubois is perhaps best known for her portrayal of the wise-cracking, gossip maven Willona Woods on the 1970s sitcom Good Times. She also co-wrote and sang the theme song of the sitcom The Jeffersons. Dubois was born in Brooklyn, New York. She has appeared in a number of other television programs (usually as a guest star), most notably in 1972 during the second season of Sanford and Son as Fred's old flame Juanita in an episode entitled "Sanford and Son and Sister Makes Three" (this appearance got her noticed by Norman Lear, and led to her being cast in Good Times and in films). She usually found herself playing roles which made her seem much older than she was. For example, when Good Times premiered in 1974 she was 29, a few years older than Jimmie Walker, while the show made her out to be much closer in age to Esther Rolle, who was 53 at the time.In 1970 Dubois played the part of a quarrelsome laundress alongside Carrie Snodgrass in the cult classic, "Diary of a Mad Housewife". She co-starred in the movie I'm Gonna Git You Sucka and the sitcoms Moesha and The Steve Harvey Show. She played the grandmother on the hit show The Wayans Bros., and appeared in the 2003 movie Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. Among her other credits, she appeared in the 1969 made-for-TV holiday film J.T.. She also appeared in former Good Times co-star Janet Jackson's "Control" music video as her mother.  Dubois won an CableACE Award for her work on the TV movie Other Women's Children based on the novel by Perri Klass, and she also two Emmy Awards for her voiceover work on the animated program The PJs.  And did you know she was also a Jet magazine BEAUTY of the WEEK and she is STILL a BEAUTY and a TREASURE to POP CULTURE! Happy BIRTHDAY Jan'et Dubois--many more!!!!  www.TheGamutt.com  |

But recently, Rihanna went GREEN--not ECO green, but green for the latest MAC VivaGlam campaign!  ViVaGlam's proceeds go towards helping those living with HIV/AIDS and this campaign and new product from Rihanna hit shelves in September! Support the CAUSE!!!  |

| #LilKim SNAPS at #NickiMinaj with her #Flawless remix..well she TRIED TO anyways! [audio] Posted: 04 Aug 2014 11:57 PM PDT  We are still BUZZING about the CAUSTIC 'Flawless' remix that Beyonce and Nicki Minaj COOKED UP and served us just the other day. Now it appears that the FORMER Queen of Rap didn't take too kindly to Nicki FLAUNTING the TITLE. Kimmy Blanco HOPS ON the ending of the SUPER HOT REMIX with a few words of ADVICE to her NEMESIS Nicki. See if Kim's BARS are SNAPPIN OR STRAIGHT TRASH!  I listened to it again and I was LIKE.....  Like Wendy told LaTavia, "I'd Like to hear a little more!" Ok Kim, that was a good start, but you got to come HARDER if you are trying to CLAP BACK at someone. I mean??? REALLY? Kim yes you were THAT 'BITCH' in rap...a LONG TIME AGO. But now, times have changed. That right there is NOT ENOUGH. Wouldn't it be great if Kim were to just ACKNOWLEDGE that her time has passed and that the Nicki's and the Iggy's are running the rap game now. Just ACCEPT 'DEFEAT" and join forces with the new jacks and make good music. Everybody has an 'expiration date' and Kim may have just reached hers. It wasn't TERRIBLE, but to run with the BIG DOGS in 2014..it's just OK. AND THAT'S ..OK. You'll always have the escalator, the colored wigs and the pasties! YOU DID THAT...BACK THEN. It's a NEW DAY. What are your THOUGHTS to Lil' Kim's contribution to 'Flawless'??  www.TheGamutt.com  |
