Wowwww. Yeah, the young’ns have their twerking now… but they get nowhere near as hot as Adina Howard got ’em when she was really doing it. EVERYTHING was hotter in the Golden Era. Even the sexy songs. Now, we have a documentary to take us all there and back.
“Adina Howard 20: A Story of Sexual Liberation†shares Adina’s story through her own words as well as the impact that she made during the 1990s and thereafter through the thoughts of fellow entertainers, educators, feminists, family and fans.
The film gives an intellectual look into the inside of the highs and lows of the life a platinum selling artist, whose work has made a lasting impact despite the polarizing feelings towards her.
Adina speaks on her relationship with Tupac Shakur, the banning of her music video from BET, landing a cameo role in the movie “Waiting to Exhale,†her encounter with legendary vocalist Nancy Wilson, working with Hollywood giants Jackie Chan and Jamie Foxx and the sudden halt to her stardom due to her comments about record exec Sylvia Rhone.

Kanye West feat. Paul McCartney – “Only One” (Video)
Kanye West is the greatest hip hop artist of this generation & he consistently proves it. A keen attention to detail, socially relevant commentary within his music, an a willingness to take risks. Check out this latest video called ‘Only One’ featuring Sir Paul McCartney which is dedicated to Kanye’s beautiful daughter ‘Nori’. I don’t usually get caught up into celebrity babies & crap like that, but Kanye & Kim Kardashian most definitely have the cutest kid amongst new celebrity parents. As a fan of Kanye West the artist, I’m definitely looking forward to what he hits us with next.

The Real Dirk Diggler: A Day In The Life Of Logan The Porn Star (Video)
When it comes to the life of a male porn star, most guys will tell you it sounds like a pretty sweet gig. From sleeping with beautiful women to actually making a living off it as your profession, it has to be a dream come true, right?
Well… meet Logan Pierce. A three-year veteran in the adult film industry, Logan is the winner of the 2013 AVN Award for Best Male Newcomer, and thus, one of the industry’s rising male stars over the past few years. Working in adult film has it’s definite upside and downside. Uppest of the up: Sex at work, because sex is work. The downside… if and when you really begin to look for love, it can be nearly impossible to find.
Logan meets nice people he would like to date at work; like most of us. Upside: The sex is definitely on point (emphasis on ‘definitely’… because he gets to thoroughly test drive the sex drive). Downside: Porn stars know porn stars cannot, usually do not, do the ‘love’ thing… just the nature of being in that biz (moving from partner to partner, some of whom you may not even like but have to convince the world that you do; which, if you’re good, really makes it hard for them to trust each other).
So can a young, employed, fit, avid reader and focused writer – who just happens to be a guy who does porn for a living – find someone to look beyond his profession and see the man who is ready to love? Time will tell.
But watch the video above. It will tell you even more about; taking you on “A Day In The Life Of Logan.”
