Outside of Denzel Washington, celebrities don’t excite me. I got hooked on him when he was in A Soldier’s Story. I knew Denny was something special then and for years, I was one of his many fanatics. I had little crushes in high school but Denny was different. It was beyond a crush with him. I was in love and had never been within 100 miles of the guy.

Years later, I realized Pauletta wasn’t going anywhere and I’m way over here, waving among millions of women. No way he’d see my substance among all the riff-raff. I basically took my heels off and walked home, chile. I got stuff to do. Okay? Shiiiid…

Now!

If you’re lucky, or unlucky for that matter, to get on the other side of the velvet rope of Hollywood, you don’t even need talent. You can be a Kim Kardashian. Just get the “demo” in the right hands and there you go. And I’m just saying Kim so I don’t keep punching on JLo. I mean, someone else deserves a turn, right?

In the between time, Hollywood would do well to create a playlist by the musical prophet himself, Stevie Wonder. If You Haven’t Done Nothing doesn’t ground a person with a dose of reality, I reckon something else can. If you’re willing.
