I was going to sample “Ghost” as part of my first mixtape because it’s one of my favorite songs. With Michael Jackson recently, died, I might reconsider.
Sexy, defined. Eartha Kitt was basically that. The multi-talented woman passed away yesterday, Christmas Day. I recall her from the old Batman series with Adam West. I’m not going to lie and say this is where I learn sexy from, but I definitely liked her style. She most famous for “Santa Baby”, so I could have put up that song yesterday and called it a day. However, I spend some extra time looking for a video of Catwoman because this is how I remembered her. However, I bumped into this Live performance of her performing I Want to Be Evil performed in 1962. Her facial expressions, her actions and switch up between angelic and wicked can pretty much sum up how I remember her. Wickedly wonderful. She defined what sexy should be… and didn’t even have to strip.
But if you rather see her in a more… er, recent form, I can clearly say that only Eartha can sound sexy and creepy at the same time, check out this scene she did in Boomerang in 1992.
She’ll be missed.

Deborah Tang, BET Journalist and Head of News Programming, Passed Away Christmas Day 2007.
Deborah Tang, one of the quality BET journalist, developed and produced programming at Black Entertainment Television and was focused on making news a focal point of the network. She past away from cancer on December 25, 2007.
She developed many of the News programs on BET, which includes "For Black Men Only," a male-oriented discussion show, a daily talk show with host Tavis Smiley, "BET Talk." as well as the popular "Teen Summit", which was honored by NAACP as well as other industry organizations.
Sadly, the news programming of BET had went down the drain since the purchase of BET to Viacom (owner of many channels. MTV Networks being one of them). I used to be a watcher of Teen Summit and the nightly news. She’ll be missed.
