growing-up father turkeys
I can't stop watching 'Pan Am.' When I was growing up, my father worked as an engineer in Turkey, and we always flew Pan Am. The stewardesses were so glamorous! When they gave me a set of those golden wings, I felt very grown-up. Not only is the show's plot full of mystery and infidelity, they get the period details just right.
hug black scarves
I consider myself lucky that Sheila Johnson, the cofounder of Black Entertainment Television, didn't choose to rest on her very impressive business laurels. Her luscious 100 percent modal scarves, printed with photos she takes all over the world, are gorgeous. Wearing one is like being wrapped in a hug.
makeup years names
The first time I met Beyonce she was about 18 years old, sitting in a makeup chair eating fried chicken, and I knew it was only a matter of time before everyone would know her name.
kale names eden
I normally don't love green juices, but Body & Eden makes theirs tasty by blending ingredients like avocado and banana with the usual suspects like kale and spinach. Delicious as they are, they're low calorie, and the drink names are catchy: I Have Balance, I Have Energy, and my favorite, I Have Calm.
tweet fantastic really-great
I only tweet if I discover something that's fantastic, or if I heard something really great.
couple thinking games
I would love to have dinner with Jay-Z and Beyonce. I think we would have a lot to chat about. I like them both so much, and I love them as a couple. I like that they are both at the top of their game - and that they have a mutual respect and admiration for each other.
nuts life-is feels
I'm basically a really happy person. My life is nuts, but it feels complete.
fighting trying stuff
We're all spending way too much of our time and energy trying to fight the stuff we can't change.
white community grew
I grew up in an all-white community.
mean all-time i-can
I know that Oprah and I mean a lot to each other... I know at all times I have somebody that I can count on always.
office support actors
When I want to support a film starring actors I like, I purchase several tickets at the box office - even if I can't stay for the movie.
reading thinking joy
The joy of reading can take you so many different places. In addition to intelligence and stretching your mind, I just think reading is so crucial in terms of being a well-rounded person.
dream kids responsibility
The dream for any parent is you want to raise happy, healthy, responsible, compassionate, kind kids. We all have a responsibility to do that.
call cbs days found morning movies nine phone popcorn ten
When I found out I was going to be on CBS every morning, my first phone call was to Jenny Craig. Ten days later, I'd lost nine pounds. Now I even take the plan's popcorn with me to the movies.
