Recently, I had the pleasure of hanging out with Alex Pettyfer in the YH Studio, and I have to say, although he plays Number Four in his new film, I Am Number Four, he is surely going to rank high amongst the Number Ones in Hollywood.

U.K.-born Alex comes from a family of entertainers, with his father being an actor and his mother a model; his half-brother James is a top-ranked tennis player (an entertainer of sorts!). Alex began his career as a child model doing commercials before he was discovered by Ralph Lauren himself at only 8 years old!

In honor of this weekend’s NBA All-Star game, I am presenting my (surely controversial) all-time favorite Michael Jackson music video: “Remember the Time”, the 1992 single from his album Dangerous.

I am a sucker for all things Ancient Egypt, and nobody can channel Queen Nefertiti quite like the statuesque Iman! (Which, by extension, means that Eddie Murphy must be portraying her husband Pharaoh Akhenaten… yeeeahhh, not seeing that quite as well.)

Considering February is Black History Month, and Presidents Day is just around the corner, President Obama stood beaming as he awarded thirteen recipients with the Presidential Medal of Freedom this past Tuesday (February 15) at the White House. The Presidential Medal of Freedom celebrates those who have made especially meritorious contribution to the security or national interests of the United States, and the world at large.
