R&B Soul Singer, Shaliek, Asks Women " How Do You Forgive THE PAST?" [Exclusive Interview]

Recording Artist, Shaliek, was introduced to me by renowned Music Industry Executive, Ruben Rodriquez.

Shaliek is rolling out his new single THE PAST now available on Pendulum Records.

THE PAST is a passionate, thought provoking, love song that is interpreted by Shaliek's fresh vibe and classic soul.

In honor of Women's History Month and thoughts of Spring Cleaning - "The Past" is a perfect song to encourage women (and men) to let go and forgive what is holding them back to bloom into love.

Shaliek has embarked on a campaign to engage and encourage his audience to share how they have gotten over a past hurt.

Posing the question ...
"How do you forgive THE PAST?"

Synopsis: When wealthy socialite and notorious party girl Vivian Bowers is found dead of an overdose, no one is really surprised. The heiress to the Bowers pharmaceutical empire has been tabloid fodder for years: wild, pretty, privileged... and now dead at the age of 32. But for FBI agent Will Moreno (Laz Alonso, "Avatar"), things don't add up with this suspicious dynasty. Convinced the troubled girl's death was a homicide, he has a clever plan to get to the truth. Her name is Detective Joanna Locasto (Meagan Good, "Think Like a Man"). Twenty years ago she was Vivian's best friend and practically grew up inside the Bowers' home. And when she appears at Vivian's funeral, the family re-embraces her and no one is the wiser. Joanna quickly begins to uncover dark secrets and clues about why Vivian's life was very much in danger. At the same time, she rekindles an old romantic relationship and rediscovers the allure of the luxurious lifestyle she once knew. She's about to see once again just how the other half lives... and dies.

Also starring are Victor Garber ("Alias"), Tate Donovan ("Damages"), Katherine LaNasa ("Alfie") and Ella Rae Peck ("Gossip Girl"). "Deception" comes from executive producer/writer Liz Heldens ("Friday Night Lights") and director Peter Horton ("Grey's Anatomy," "Dirty Sexy Money"). The series is from Universal Television and BermanBraun.

Django Unchained - Spike Lee won't see it, will you?

"Django Unchained" - Spike Lee won't see it, will you?  Did you already see?  It is on my list of things to do this holiday season. I'm intrigued by the cast - Jamie Foxx, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kerry Washington and Samuel L. Jackson - that's kinda hot.

Spike Lee told VibeTV that "I cant speak on it 'cause I'm not gonna see it,""All I'm going to say is that it's disrespectful to my ancestors. That's just me...I'm not speaking on behalf of anybody else."

The Quentin Tarantino film is in theaters now, check out the trailer:

 Synopsis:

A former slave and a German bounty hunter become unlikely allies in the battle against a tyrannical plantation owner in this western from visionary director Quentin Tarantino. Two years before the Civil War pits brother-against-brother, German-born fugitive hunter Dr. King Schultz (Academy Award-winner Christoph Waltz) arrives in America determined to capture the outlaw Brittle brothers dead or alive. In the midst of his search, Dr. Schultz crosses paths with Django (Academy Award-winner Jamie Foxx), a freed slave and skilled tracker who seeks to rescue his beloved wife Broomhilda (Kerry Washington) from ruthless plantation owner Calvin Candie (Academy Award-nominee Leonardo DiCaprio). Once Django has aided Dr. Schultz in coralling the Brittle brothers, the two team up to capture some of the most wanted men in the South. Meanwhile, Django never loses sight of his mission to free Broomhilda from the treacherous slave trade before it's too late. Upon arriving at Candie's nefarious plantation, dubbed Candyland, Django and Dr. Schultz discover that slaves are being groomed for gladiator-like competitions by Candie's malevolent right-hand man Billy Crash (Walton Goggins), and together they skillfully work their way onto the compound for a closer look. But just as Django and his partner locate Broomhilda and plot a daring escape, Candie's house slave Stephen (Academy Award-nominee Samuel L. Jackson) catches wind of their plan, and informs his master of the betrayal. Now, as a clandestine organization attempts to back them into a corner, Django and Dr. Schultz will have to come out with pistols blazing if they ever hope to free Broomhilda from Candyland and the clutches of its vile proprietor. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Sheryl Lee Ralph: "Diva, Divinely Inspired Victoriously Aware."

Sheryl Lee Ralph co-stars in the family Christmas movie "Christmas In Compton" in theaters now.  After you check out the movie, she suggests getting her book, as a Christmas gift.  "Redefining Diva: Life Lessons From An Original Dream Girl" just made the New York Times Best Seller Book List.

Recently, I had the opportunity to do a phone interview with the busy Actress, Singer, Activist, Wife, Mother and Producer.  She shared how she lives "a D.I.V.A. life, divinely inspired victoriously aware.

When Sheryl Lee Ralph first met with the filmmakers for her new film, "We all realized there was no holiday movie that displayed people of color in a wonderful, human, family way."

"I love that I was given the opportunity to create a very down to earth, afro-centric character.  It's O.K. to celebrate Kwanza, natural girls rock - this is part of who we are also.  I feel very strongly about portraying positive role models, especially for women. I was happy that I was able to spread words to help other people - - -  to let your children live and to understand you can't rule them." The film does present a warm family feel and is destined to become an urban Christmas classic.
