Weird Al Is Back

Weird Al Yankovic has made a parody of the Pharrell song “Happy”.  In the video, he’s recruited some of his famous friends.  Here’s what he wrote: “Huge thanks to Jack Black, Kristen Schaal, Eric Stonestreet, Margaret Cho and Aisha Tyler for being in my video for “Tacky”.”  The album has other songs including, “Handy,” (“Fancy” by Iggy Azalea, perhaps?) and “Word Crimes,” believed to be set to “Blurred Lines” by Robin Thicke.

New Whitney Houston Biopic

Yaya Decosta, best known as the runner up on “America’s Top Model” and for her acting on “All My Children”, has been cast to play Whitney Houston in a Lifetime movie directed by Angela Basset.  Much of the movie will focus around Whitney and her tumultuous relationship and nearly 15-year marriage to singer Bobby Brown, which ended in divorce April 2007.  33 year old Arlen Escarpeta is set to play Bobby Brown.  Surprisingly, the film will not focus on Whitney’s death.  Director Angela Bassit, who starred with Whitney in the movie “Waiting To Exhale”, said she’s not interested in dragging her death into the spotlight again. The movie is being filmed now and will air next year.

Lemur Sits On Baby’s Head

I was an interactive exhibit at the Kansas Zoo with Lemurs.  Angie Widener took her three daughters – including 9-week-old Finley. Strollers aren’t allowed in the lemur exhibit, so she carried Finley in the stroller’s removable carrier.  She sat the baby down to take pictures. As Angie was snapping photos of her other daughters, she heard someone say, “Ma’am, there’s a lemur on your baby’s head.”  She didn’t worry too much and snapped a picture of her baby and the lemur before picking Finley up.

National Magazine Interviews Sheila Scruggs

Imagine my surprise when Brighton Living Magazine called me to say they wanted to do a feature story about me.  What? Why? They focus on positive stories that center around helping others.  I immediately said it’s EVERYONE at Stonecom Radio.  It definitely takes us all to accomplish the work we do in the community.  I am very thankful for those in my team.  My home and work family lends tremendous support and I am very grateful.  It was an honor to be in the spotlight but I carry all those with me that are a big part of the wonderful work I do every day.  Link to Brighton Living article:   http://ow.ly/ySlFO
