Actor/Comedian Brandon T. Jackson Has An OBSESSED STALKER!

Everyone knows the funny man, Brandon T. Jackson for his movie roles and his latest Fresh & Funny Tour that has been quite successful with sell out shows all year. However we received a tip this morning that the actor has been dealing with a crazed fan on Instagram since August of this year, who has been causing problems between him and his current girlfriend, Denise Xavier, claiming that she is married & pregnant by the actor!

The female, has a full page on Instagram claiming that she and the actor are married and expecting a baby!

 

We all know that celebrities deal with crazy fans everyday but we think she has taken things to the next level, and we call that obsession!

Recently I had the pleasure of attending one of Brandon T. Jackson's shows in Atlanta, Georgia for the Fresh & Funny Tour, and I was shocked to discover that this female had even stolen one of my pictures and posted it on her page as if she were me! Her page also consists of possibly other stolen images from the web of pictures of twin babies that she claims are also the actor's children by her!

I knew I was popular with my writing but to see her use one of my pictures was a huge shock! Who else is she imitating just to cause problems for the actor. Brandon T. Jackson is a very spiritual and down to earth man and sadly this is an issue that we hope he can resolve.

What in the world is wrong with people when it comes to these celebrities?

It appears just from strolling down her page that she has created her own little world evolved around her and the actor. We can only hope that the actor is able to get matters under control before he stars in a real life sequel movie of Obsession!

This is crazy!

Next Level Living: The Growth Process

Life is all about growing and advancing to the next stage of your life.

We are growing daily from the time we enter this world until the latter parts of our life.

As we grow, things within us began to change and we are able to do things differently than we were able to do before.

A baby starts out scooting across the floor, then crawling, then balancing, then finally walking.

Our life should be a symbolization of growth, and nothing should ever be the same with us as it was in the previous year. We should never find ourselves complacent and in a repetitive cycle that is getting us nowhere.

At the end of every year, we began to set goals for how we will improve the next year, we call them our New Years Resolutions. These goals are set to push us to the next level of our life. These goals are reminders of where we want to see ourselves in the year to come. These goals are our visions to becoming better inside and out.

You should always evaluate your life and observe if you are growing mentally as well as spiritually. Nothing about you should remain the same if it is not beneficial to your growth.

I observe many who are in the same place of their life year after year after year. They have sadly grown content with being in a negative cycle that has become a hindrance to their growth.

As we age, I would like to believe that we should also age mentally.

We shouldn't be doing the same things we did as a teenager when we are in the stages of an adult. We shouldn't hold the same conversations or distribute the same behaviors as we did as a child.

When others see us, they should not be able to say, "You haven't changed at all", instead they should be able to say, "There is something different about you!".

Ever met a person and every time you see them, they are up to the same old habits, living in the same situation, doing the same stuff that has not profited them each year?

Its honestly quite depressing to look at and you wish there was a way to show them that there was so much more to life than the current situation they choose to remain in.

At the age of 13 I made a decision to be better than my surroundings. Year after year I would push to be better than the year before. As I got older, I was experimenting with new work fields, going to trade school and learning different skills, or just moving around and living in different cities to expand my knowledge on life.

I tend to laugh when my peers state that I'm always living somewhere different or on the go.

This is because my mindset is never the same and I am never in the same place for too long. I do not grow content in areas that are holding me back and not allowing me to go to the next level of my life spiritually or physically.

You have to seek advancement and desire to be better!

How have you changed this year? What is new about you this year? Are you still doing the same things you were last year and the year before?

You must look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself simple questions like this. These questions allow you to see if you are growing in the right direction. You can age but you can also age in the wrong direction. A tree planted on bad soil or in a bad location can grow crooked or leaning to the side. Your desire is to grow upright without limitations to your growth.

If you discover that nothing about you has changed or matured then you need to take the steps now to fix those things in your life so that you may receive all that life has to offer you behind the next door of your life.

Let me add that you should also be wise about the company you keep when seeking to advance to the next level.

As you grow, avoid hanging around those who are not trying to improve in their life as you are. We all tend to get caught up in hanging around childhood friends but if those friends are not pushing you to become a better you then they are not your friends. You should never involve yourself with those who desire to see you on the same level every year and encourage foolish behavior and thinking.

Are you happy where you are today?

If not then now is the time to make changes. You don't have to wait until the new year to make changes in your life. Scripture tells us to take no thought for tomorrow so therefore tomorrow is not a guaranteed fact but today is because you are alive and living.

Now is the time for growth and change.

Take that step in the right direction and break the cycle. No more living in a circle and being known to others as always being the same person every year, in the same situation.

Its time to grow!

Reasons We Still Love Chris Brown!

 Christopher Maurice Brown, born on May 5, 1989, came on to the music scene and blew our mind back in 2005 as a singing and dancing sensation! Chris Brown's first album titled "Chris Brown" debuted at Number 2 on the Billboards and sold over 154,000 copies in the first week! I remember watching the video and thinking how amazingly talented this young kid was. His dance moves in hit singles such as, "Yo (Excuse Me Miss)", "Gimme That", and "Say Goodbye" just won our hearts over. It was easy to tell that a lot of his inspiration in music came from the late great Michael Jackson. Chris Brown not only brought us some memorable performances but he also inspired many to just be themselves with the gift they were given. We observed more teens coming out with more expression in their dancing just as seen by Chris Brown. Kids who were once turning to violence as a way to resolve their problems were now simply battling through dance to express their pain. YouTube became flooded with dance battles and dance groups showcasing their moves. I believe that no matter how much the media wants to play Chris Brown off as being a bad guy, he is so much more than what they say. This guy changed the expression of dance and took it to a new level!

Chris Brown brought back to the music industry a new face on an art that often can be overlooked. It was now no longer such a focus on the vocals but also back to the focus on the art of dance!

We remember growing up watching artist such as, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, James Brown, MC Hammer, Bobby Brown, and more come on stage and not only sing us happy but get us up and on to our feet. With every performance, we knew that Chris Brown would deliver to his fans each time he hit the stage. For those who watch him perform, it is easy to tell that he puts his heart into every move and into every album he releases. Each album and song displaying a theme and story line.

It's impossible to overlook the changes in the music industry that occurred when Chris Brown came on the scene. No he is not the first to ever do it, but he came and introduced us to him though his dancing.  He brought his on creative style and had many of us trying to imitate some of the crazy flips and moves that he was displaying.

You can try as you may but you can't destroy art! Chris Brown is what I like to call, "Moving Art"!  
I admire how no matter what issues made the news to try to destroy his character or his name, this young man still came out harder and better with every album that he produced! You will always have those who want to find a way to give Chris Brown a bad image but you can't break talent and I am proud of him for still standing despite all the rage of those who never knew him and never tried to known him. Just as his Instagram states, he is the one you love to hate.
 You have to have a tough skin in the music industry and Brown demonstrates that he is unbreakable!

The fans still love him because they along with many of us have watched him grow into the phenomenal artist that we see before us today. Chris Brown is not just loved by us but also is loved by his beautiful daughter, "Royalty". I'd like to think that with her in his life, Brown took precautions to become not just the example of a better artist but a better father because of her!

No matter how much they love to hate you Chris Brown, you are still loved by many of us and we desire to see you win and continue to rise on top by becoming among the greatest of artist to ever do it in the music game!

Major love to Actor Lance Gross for making a statement that we all can agree on via his Instagram page this week: 

  Chris Brown, like many is still human, and we all make the mistake of often allowing the wrong people to get involved in our lives. At times it is because we have such a huge heart for others and that heart tends to overlook the ones who only get close enough just to find a way to break you. I believe Chris Brown has let a few to many into his circle who were not truly for him. Just because they are in your circle doesn't always mean they are for you. I hope to see him rise above all of this!
 We are keeping him in our prayers here at Starrdom100 Blog and standing beside him through all of this recent media controversy with the young woman and her accusations.

                                           
                                             "You can't break ART!"
                                                                            "Art is Unbreakable!"

Who's Fresh & Hot in Atlanta Music?

"New Faces are hitting the music scene daily but if it's not Hot then we don't want to hear it!" 






Today people want music they can relate to and more importantly hold your attention because that is what keeps the crowds happy. Hip Hop Artist Jamond Hart known to many by his stage name "LayedBak" is giving the people just what they are looking for by producing phenomenal music!

"LayedBak" is making waves as an Independent Hip Hop Artist and songwriter straight out of Southeast Washington, D.C! 

"LayedBak" states that although he was only able to experience a brief moment in the Nation's Capital, it is still an inspirational place that helped him to evolve into the amazing artist that he has become today.

"LayedBak" was born in Charlotte, NC and relocated to the Atlanta, GA area to pursue his dream in the music industry as well as to bring some extra heat to the city with lyrics that transform you by combining a hot mixture of Pop, R&B, and that old school rap that we love! 

"LayedBak" states that his passion for music began at an early age when he was influenced by his cousin, a known local artist, who taught him that you need to become a scientist of word play and literature before you make that leap into the Hip Hop industry.

"LayedBak" took hold of the advice given to him by his cousin and was determined to produce a style with his music that was different and untouchable! His desire was to not only produce music that sounded like every other artist but to present music that would definitely make you pause & say,"Who's That?".


After taking his time and putting in a lot of effort and dedication with his music, he then decided it was time to branch out and give the streets something much needed. It was time to take things to the next level in his music career!

When asked who inspires him the most in the industry, "LayedBak" stated that his inspirations come from artists such as, Jay Z, NAS, Andre 3000, Lauren Hill, Rico Love, Biggie, Tupac, and Eminem.

You can definitely tell that he has formulated his music by listening to some of the greatest to ever do it in all genres of music! 

I had the pleasure of checking out his latest single, titled "Hustle" and this joint is definitely worthy of radio play! Trust me, if I like it then you know its jumping!

 "Hustle" defines something we all have been doing all of our life especially if you never came in this world with privilege. I can definitely relate to this joint and I feel others will relate to it as well. "LayedBak" is reflecting in his music the reality of life but also tossing in some bomb beats that leave you head nodding and tuned in to every verse. You never know what a person has been through and if you don't know then you definitely won't understand the reason behind the "Hustle". Be sure to go download this hit single, its everywhere on ITunes, Google Play and Spotify! I already downloaded it so I'll be listening to it while you all add it to your playlist! 

 I'm ready for the entire album to drop!

What can I say about LayedBak? He has what it takes to rock the Hip Hop industry! 

Can we say shout out to the "Hustle"?! 

Without it, where would most of us be? Go now and cop that single! 

           "LayedBak" is an Artist you should keep your eyes on!

Single Mother Needs Help to not Lose her Place!

Everyday someone is facing a tragedy or devastating need for help.
I recently have found myself in that very situation.

I work hard as a single mother to raise my beautiful 8 year old daughter but recently some changes in my income have caused me to fall into a desperate need for help. I am reaching out to all of those who support my blog as well as what I do for some assistance.

All of your donations will go towards helping me and my daughter to keep our place.
My landlord stated earlier this week that he didn't see my situation turning around but I'm a firm believer that God can do the impossible! I don't believe that he has allowed me to come this far in my life just to lose everything I have.

I'm a fighter and I will not give up on myself! My daughter is an A/B student at her school and losing our place would cause me to have to remove her from her school to find shelter. We are truly believing that God has some good hearted souls out there who can and will be a blessing.

We all go through storms at some point in our life and you can accept defeat or keep fighting! I choose to fight!

I worked and pushed myself through college with good days and bad days to obtain my Bachelors Degree in Criminal Justice. I then relocated out of a city that I was struggling in to find work so that I could give my daughter better. I have worked security jobs and more just to make ends meet for me and my daughter.

So I refuse to lose it all and go backwards!

So those who would like to be a blessing to us can donate anything God places on your heart to give by going to:

Your gifts no matter the size all help & matter to me. I love you all and keep supporting the blog.

Brandon T. Jackson "Fresh-N-Funny Tour" in Atlanta, GA

Friday night in Atlanta, Georgia was busy as usual with people trying to beat traffic and get ready to start their weekend off right. If you were like me, then you were getting dressed to beat the lines to the Uptown Comedy Corner located at 800 Marietta St NW to see the Actor/Comedian Brandon T. Jackson hit the stage for his #FreshNFunny tour.

Jackson recently had just came back from doing a show in Sacramento, CA at the Punch Line Comedy Club. The show was sold out!

Jackson made his way down to Atlanta, GA accompanied by another comedian on the tour with him by the name of Brandon Scanavich. Brandon Scanavich is a young stand-up comedian from Memphis, TN and has traveled along with other comedians such as Michael Blackson and has truly been on the rise with his comedy career! The young comedian teamed up with Jackson and has been traveling along side him during the #FreshNFunny tour. 

 

Double Brandon's equaled Double the laughs!

This was my first time seeing Brandon T. Jackson perform live. Jackson is known for his many roles in movies such as, "Lottery Ticket", "Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief and its sequel, "Roller Bounce", and "Big Momma's: Like Father, Like Son", to name a few.

To actually see the young actor hit the stage outside of the big screen was absolutely amazing.

You often hear that some actors who play humorous roles are only funny on the screen but I can attest that Jackson is funny on the screen and off the screen without a script!


The show was amazing!


Scanavich & Jackson  gave us that down to earth comedy that we all could relate to in our personal life. It's not easy making me laugh but they both did just that and I was glad to have been in attendance.


To be able to relate to your crowd is absolutely what comedians need to be skilled at. Jackson came out on stage giving us laugh after laugh as he shared stories of family experiences and a few tips about relationships that kept us all on the edge of our seats laughing. Although we were able to find humor in what he shared, there was also some knowledge being tossed out there which made us relate more to what he had to say.

The weekend for the comedians led to a sold out show in Atlanta!

If you were wondering about attending a show this year to hear the comedians then you definitely should grab your tickets in advance!

 

 

 

Be sure to follow Actor/Comedian Brandon T. Jackson on Instagram & Twitter (@brandontjackson) & also be sure to  follow Comedian Brandon Scanavich on Instagram(@brandonscanavich).


You can also keep up with both comedians on Facebook!




Have you noticed the clothing that both Brandon's are rocking?






Brandon T. Jackson has his own clothing line out called, "Kingdom Living Clothing". You can purchase the shirts that they are rocking by following Brandon T. Jackson on Instagram and clicking the link in his Bio to place an order!


Be sure to catch the #FreshNFunny Tour this year and if you meet either of them, then right before taking that picture, pause and tell them that Starrdom100 Blog said to get a ticket because the show will definitely be worth the trip!

Kazoola Eatery & Entertainment in Mobile, Alabama!

Are you wondering what to do on a Friday night in Mobile, Alabama?

Then I know a spot that you should definitely be sure to stop by.

While deciding to take a stroll through the beautiful downtown area of my home  city, Mobile, Alabama, I happened to hear some real soulful music. I had to follow the sound because I love the neo soul type of music so I bypassed a ton of spots to later find myself standing in front of Kazoola!

I stood just outside of the glass nodding my head to the live band that was playing before a lady who must have been in charge noticed me and my guy & invited us inside to check it out.

The lights were dim and the place which was full of beautiful purple lights had a nice mature crowd of people relaxing and nodding their head to the band. I must admit that I was truly in awe because I had not witnessed a more laid back soulful venue in my home city before.

I stood the entire time, not once taking a seat because I was too busy clapping my hands to the music of the band and live singing.

The name of the spot which is "Kazoola" comes from the middle name of, Cudjoe Kazoola Lewis, or Cudjo Lewis, who was the last known survivor of the Atlantic slave trade between Africa and the United States. Together with 115 other captives, he was brought illegally to the United States on board the ship Clotilde in 1860 to Mobile Bay.

Kazoola showcased many of the historical arts that represented the area of "Magazine Point" known historically as "Africa Town". Africa Town is where the last slave ship settled in Mobile Bay known as the Clotilde. Mr. Cudjoe Lewis was actually a relative to my step- grandmother.

Having grew up in the area of "Africa Town" on Chin Street, it was nice to see the art of Cudjoe represented as well as old pictures from my former middle school, (MCTS) Mobile County Training Middle School which formally had been a High School years ago.

I highly recommend anyone who is in town visiting the city of Mobile, Alabama to make Kazoola one of your stops!
Tell them that Starrdom100 Blog recommended you to visit!

Kazoola is downtown's newest jazz bar and restaurant. Live entertainment Thursday - Sunday. Enjoy Thursday "Jam Sessions" and play alongside musicians. Happy Hour is Monday - Friday, 4pm - 7pm. No cover Thursday - Friday.
