Right now, the number one TV show on Netflix is Ginny & Georgia. Have you seen it? If not, you don’t know what you’re missing out on. It’s good stuff. Currently, Ginny & Georgia is in the second season. If you haven’t already seen the first season already, you might want to watch a few episodes before seeing the new ones. Netflix released the show on January 5. And now, 10 days later, everybody is talking about the success of Ginny & Georgia. It is great television. TV shows come and go. Let’s hope this one stays the course. For those who haven’t seen it, I’ll describe the show for you. First, there’s Antonia Gentry as Ginny. Her real name is Virginia in the Netflix series. Then, there’s Georgia played by Brianne Howey. They are both complex characters and the story is not so simple. Ginny is Georgia’s young daughter. It’s an interesting story because her mother is white, and her father is black. But her younger brother is white as well. So, this keeps unwrapping layers as you dig deeper.

I don’t want to give away too much of the plot, so I’ll write only about my impressions of the characters. If you love actors performing at the top of their crafts, then this TV show will have your heart pulsating. There are so many characters to like. Besides the two main characters, I like Zion Miller, Joe, Abby, Norah, Ellen Baker, Marcus Baker, and Mayor Paul Randolph. It is an amazing sight how the actors gel on screen. It is like the 1950s all over again with milk and chocolate chip cookies. But this time, it’s 2023 and things are turned upside down for the most part. Is the chemistry we see on film fake? Or is the television screen telling the truth? Whatever the case, Ginny & Georgia season two has become the number one TV show on Netflix this weekend. And what’s more, its motion pictures are set firmly in minds and hearts around the globe.

Golden Globe Awards 2023 Recap: From the Red Carpet to the Live Show with Peace and Love!

By: Guru Jay

This year the red carpet was rolled out for the Hollywood stars at the Golden Globes for the 80th time. #LARain was trending on Twitter which meant the weather was stormy. But the dark clouds dissipated, and everyone had a good time. As the countdown began, we saw star after star shine while they were being interviewed by Laverne Cox and her sidekick Loni Love. It was an arrival like no other. It was what we’ve been waiting for. Of course, we had a little bit of controversy. Comedian Jarrod Carmichael hosted the live show and the first thing out his mouth was “I’m only the host because I’m Black.” I couldn’t chuckle at everything he mentioned. But, in truth I watched the Golden Globes to celebrate and acknowledge the film and television actors who made 2022 worth its weight in gold. @IamGuruJay I liked, tweeted, and retweeted until I felt I spread enough of my share of peace and love. To start the show, Jennifer Hudson presented the Best Supporting Actor and Actress Golden Globe Award. As you may know by now, Ke Huy Quan won the first award of the night for his portrayal in All at Once Movie. Plus, you may know Angela Bassett won for her role in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. 

And so, the night started off with two well-deserved wins. Perhaps Jennifer Coolidge stole the show with her win for White Lotus. Also, Austin Butler, who hosted Saturday Night Live, won for his performance in Elvis. But you didn’t come to my blog for a list of winners. You can get that anywhere. You came here for my spin on things. I’ll give you what you want. The stars owned the night. Despite all that’s going on in the world, this was a time for peace and love. Despite the controversy Hollywood united. We need a new party called Unity. It is interesting what a day makes. From the red carpet to the live show, the 2023 Golden Globes was special. I’m thankful for another day on God’s green earth. Although I didn’t win a Golden Globe, you’re my gold. Peace and Love!

Paula Patton Vs. Gabrielle Union

BY: GURU JAY


Isn’t Paula Patton gorgeous? Doesn’t the dazzling actress radiate every room she enters? Why is Paula the center of attention?

Can you read Patton’s poker face? To paraphrase Bruno Mars “when Paula smiles the whole world stops and stares for a while.” Next time you’re on Netflix, choose a Paula Patton flick.
All eyes fixate on this beauty because she is one of the brightest stars in show business. Not only can she cheer up a lifelong pessimist, Paula possesses many awesome qualities.
What are your favorite Paula Patton movies? I  recommend Déjà Vu, Jumping the Broom, and Mission Impossible- Ghost Protocol. Have you seen Baggage Claim or 2 Guns? Will you go see the Warcraft in 2016?
I feel Paula is underused. I enjoy Paula’s flexibility and range. The California girl steps out her comfort zone and plays characters across several genres.
From comedy to Horror, Paula executes. Truly, Patton is a General of acting. Her filmography demonstrates that she is not type casted.

Can you picture Paula starring in her own TV series? Many movie stars are transitioning into home entertainment. Gabrielle Union’s Being Mary Jane serves as a blueprint.

Isn’t Gabrielle Union a breath of fresh air? Doesn’t Gabrielle Union make your heart race and your palms sweaty? Wow, she is beautiful!
Did you know Gabrielle Union auditioned for the main role on Scandal? Of course, the part went to Kerry Washington. But why exactly?
Do you think Hollywood has taken the Omaha Nebraskan sweetheart for granted? I think so, and that’s why I hope Union starts financing her own productions. Gabrielle receives numerous business inquiries and bookings because she is high caliber.
Watch Bad Boys II again, and you’ll see why Gabrielle Union has always been the complete package. Plus she’s memorable in Bring It On, Deliver Us from Eva, and Daddy’s Little Girls. If you want more, check out Cadillac Records, Think Like a Man, and Top Five.

Can you believe Gabrielle Union has been acting since 1993? She is simply one of the best actors in the game. Lastly, you won’t find another actress more energetic than Gabrielle.

Do you like Paula Patton or Gabrielle Union better?
