Ladies Night: Lady Gaga and Beyonce get 9 VMA nominations

Beyonce and Lady Gaga walked the red carpet of the VMAs with one thing in common: They both looked fab and BOTH received 9 nominations.------

Call me crazy but I absolutely loved Lady Gaga's red carpet arrival. It was different, bold and sexy. From the pin-curled pink and blond hair, masses of glittery black eye shadow, and half a Phantom of the Opera mask, topped off with a big ol' Victorian hat...to the corseted waist and feathers. She clearly loves to have fun with her image, and I applaud her willingness to experiment!

I'm sure that the fashion blogs of the world will have a ball with her tomorrow morning but let me be amongst the first to say: different is good!

While I wouldn't wear GaGa's outfit, Beyonce was a bit more of my style. Minus the color (I don't do red) and the shoes. Also, I'm not quite sure about the pooch thing in the front but overall it was a cute look.

No More Reading Rainbow:(

It was designed to encourage kids to read. Now after nearly 30 years, Reading Rainbow is going off the air.

I can still remember the theme song as a write this post. LeVar Burton, who is also known for his role on Star Trek, made reading cool. Every episode I looked forward to a new reading adventure.

While it's been years since I watched an episode, I can't imagine PBS without Reading Rainbow.

***singing: take a look, it's in a book, on reading rainbow....reading rainbow!***



And for you hip-hop heads....



So long Reading Rainbow....
