The 40-year-old singer, newly svelte after losing some 60 pounds, appears on the cover of Vibe magazine wearing a skimpy bikini bottom and a necklace made of large shells. Her right arm covers her breasts. Will she ever stop posing for sexy photos? Of course. When I'm 80, she tells Vibe. That's when I'll call it quits. Two years ago, Justin Timberlake pulled off a part of Jackson's bustier, briefly exposing one of her breasts, during the Super Bowl halftime show. In an interview in the magazine's September issue, on newsstands Aug. 15, Jackson says the incident - variously referred to as Nipplegate and the bra-ha-ha - is history. It's just over and done with. It's old. It's the past. It's history. I'm onto something new. Everybody got their licks in - those who wanted to - and it's done, she says. Jackson credits her boyfriend, 33-year-old music producer Jermaine Dupri, for giving her self-esteem a little boost. I came to realize that younger men had less of a problem with who I am than older men, she says. With the younger guys, there was less ego. Things were less competitive. They weren't threatened by who made more and who made less. She says that with Dupri, she feels as if she's met her match. When I look at Jermaine, I see myself, Jackson says. I feel as if I'm looking in the mirror. The connection I feel with him I have never felt with anybody else. Her new album, 20 Y.O., is slated for release Sept. 26.

She went on to say that she tried to hide her legs especially. I was sad to read that, because she wasn't fat, was obviously in great shape as evidenced by her dance moves. But there she was, the epitome of African beauty, ashamed of her legs and butt. Later on she emerged with the first of the ultra-cut bodies that she'd have over the years. Again, I ain't hatin' on women who want to be fit, but it saddens me when so many women try to get rid of their God-given blessings because society's tastes have changed so drastically.

[scifinoir2] The Best and Worst Sci-Fi TV Show Openings
http://www.ggl.com/kunochan/2006/08/best-and-worst-sci-fi-tv-show-openings.html Thursday, August 03, 2006 The Best and Worst Sci-Fi TV Show Openings I suffer from insomnia, and you benefit. Here are my picks for 10 Best and 10 Worst Opening Credits for Genre TV Shows. By genre, I mean science fiction, fantasy, and horror. I only included shows made in English. I also decided to limit myself to those credits sequences I could find online - but this turned out not to be a problem. Hooray for youtube! Hooray for copyright violations! I was worried that I would subconsciously rate the title sequences not on their own merit, but based on the quality of the show overall. But I ended up with one of the worst shows of all time on the Best list, and one of the best on the Worst list. And they both have the same title! Numerical order is approximate. The 10 Best 10. Battlestar Galactica (1979) One of the most common mistakes made by sci-fi TV openings is the expository monologue, with which jittery television executives try to explain the show's premise to viewers who don't get sci-fi. As I researched this list, I learned how ubiquitous this problem is. Blah blah blah. The original BSG features a long, long, lng expository monologue. Yeah yeah, Toltecs and Mayans, got it. But the monologue is well written, and it's read with tremendous gravity by the brilliant Patrick Macnee, who also voiced the Imperious Leader. The theme song kicks ass. And most importantly, the edited scenes (viewed through a circle - why?) really make the show look impressive. Too bad it sucked ass. 9. The Greatest American Hero (1981-83) It's all about the theme song, baby. Mike Post's theme song is goofy, poppy, cheesy, and almost but not entirely unrelated to the content of the show. And once you hear it, you will NEVER get it out of your head. This credits sequence is fun, funny, and engaging, and it has no expository monologue whatsoever. That UFO, left over from one of Steven Spielberg's garage sales, is also very cool. 8. Mystery Science Theater 3000 (1988-1999) Robot roll call! We're only concerned with the first two credit sequences here, the original Joel Hogdson credits and the first Mike Nelson opening. After Frank Conniff left, the show jumped the shark; and once it moved to the Sci Fi Channel, well, it's just best not to think about it. Catchy song, goofy models and puppets, and the iconic corridor crawl a la Get Smart. And the theme song doubled as the expository monologue, which was a real time saver. 7. Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987-1994) What do you get when you cross the theme from Star Trek The Motionless Picture with the Shakespearean monologing skills of Patrick Stewart and a clever tribute the opening of the original Star Trek? Um, this opening, duh. By the way, the original Star Trek opening was pretty weak (whoosh! whoosh!), although nowhere near bad enough to make the worst list. As far as I can tell, Space the final frontier invented the expository monologue. 6. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993-1999) There was nothing special about the DS9 opening until season four, about the time the show started to not completely suck. The morose theme song got a boost from a bouncy backing track, and the CG guys added a bunch of business involving spaceships, little space-suited construction workers, and the Defiant flying into the wormhole. Suddenly, Deep Space 9 became a place you might conceivably care about. Then, in season seven, they screwed the whole thing up. This award goes to seasons 4-6 only. (Special props to DS9 for dropping the Final Frontier speech.) 5. Star Trek: Voyager (1995-2001) Finally, the Star Trek credits sequence perfected. Great theme, excellent effects. Of course, in 9 out of 10 episodes, once the opening credits ended it was all downhill from there. 4. Doctor Who (1963-89, 1996, 2005-present) First let's discuss that theme song. When some hack isn't ruining it by trying to update it, Ron Grainer's Doctor Who theme is spacey, dramatic and memorable. Most of the Doctor Who credits sequences have been mediocre or terrible (see this - Jesus Christ, did that Zardozian giant floating head just wink at me? Exterminate! Exterminate!), but two really stand out. Coincidentally, they're the openings for the two best Doctors to date. Tom Baker's (1974-81) was modeled after previous openings, and included the dreaded head shot. But the music was great, the effects were cool, and you got to see the TARDIS fly around. In Christopher Eccleston's credits (2005), the music was great, the effects were cool, and you got to see the TARDIS fly around. And no headshot! Plus, Doctor Who has never burdened us with an expository monologue. Can you imagine trying to explain Doctor Who in 30 seconds? 3. The Six Million Dollar Man (1974-78) The awkwardly-titled series that made Lee Majors a star had opening credits as heart-pounding and dramatic as anything on TV. Steve Austin's whole

RE: [scifinoir2] The Best and Worst Sci-Fi TV Show Openings
Funny list, but I disagree with him on a few points. One, The Bionic Woman was NOT a better show than The Six Million Dollar Man! Common, Jaimie Summers taught at some dopey school full of a United Nations grouping of kids right from Central Casting. They also introduced Max the Bionic Shepherd on her show. Blech! And he's way off with the Battlestar Galactica opening. He mentioned it sucks because it shows scenes from the upcoming series, which are spoilers. To me that just whets our appetites. He also mentioned liking Space: 1999's theme? Well, the idea of showing teasers from the upcoming episode is a tribute to Space: 1999, which used that same effect. The Galactica folks stopped doing it for a while, then brought it back. I love it, 'cause they're not spoilers, they just really get you going for what's coming, and are no worse than the Coming Next Week trailers shown at the end of a show. Finally, he's waaay off saying that B5 and its openings sucked. That show rocked, and the arcs are some of the best I've seen in scifi. He also must have missed that fact that each of the five seasons had a slightly different opening, indicative of the tone of that season's arc, from mysterious at the beginning, to martial and resolute during the Shadow War season, to thrilling during the time of rebuilding after the war, to very nostalgic and sombre for the last season. I loved each one, and how rare is it for a series to change the opening like that? And I loved DS9, but neither it nor Voyager's openings belong on a list of the best of all time. _ From: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of brent wodehouse Sent: Wednesday, 09 August, 2006 16:08 To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Subject: [scifinoir2] The Best and Worst Sci-Fi TV Show Openings http://www.ggl. http://www.ggl.com/kunochan/2006/08/best-and-worst-sci-fi-tv-show-openings. html com/kunochan/2006/08/best-and-worst-sci-fi-tv-show-openings.html Thursday, August 03, 2006 The Best and Worst Sci-Fi TV Show Openings I suffer from insomnia, and you benefit. Here are my picks for 10 Best and 10 Worst Opening Credits for Genre TV Shows. By genre, I mean science fiction, fantasy, and horror. I only included shows made in English. I also decided to limit myself to those credits sequences I could find online - but this turned out not to be a problem. Hooray for youtube! Hooray for copyright violations! I was worried that I would subconsciously rate the title sequences not on their own merit, but based on the quality of the show overall. But I ended up with one of the worst shows of all time on the Best list, and one of the best on the Worst list. And they both have the same title! Numerical order is approximate. The 10 Best 10. Battlestar Galactica (1979) One of the most common mistakes made by sci-fi TV openings is the expository monologue, with which jittery television executives try to explain the show's premise to viewers who don't get sci-fi. As I researched this list, I learned how ubiquitous this problem is. Blah blah blah. The original BSG features a long, long, lng expository monologue. Yeah yeah, Toltecs and Mayans, got it. But the monologue is well written, and it's read with tremendous gravity by the brilliant Patrick Macnee, who also voiced the Imperious Leader. The theme song kicks ass. And most importantly, the edited scenes (viewed through a circle - why?) really make the show look impressive. Too bad it sucked ass. 9. The Greatest American Hero (1981-83) It's all about the theme song, baby. Mike Post's theme song is goofy, poppy, cheesy, and almost but not entirely unrelated to the content of the show. And once you hear it, you will NEVER get it out of your head. This credits sequence is fun, funny, and engaging, and it has no expository monologue whatsoever. That UFO, left over from one of Steven Spielberg's garage sales, is also very cool. 8. Mystery Science Theater 3000 (1988-1999) Robot roll call! We're only concerned with the first two credit sequences here, the original Joel Hogdson credits and the first Mike Nelson opening. After Frank Conniff left, the show jumped the shark; and once it moved to the Sci Fi Channel, well, it's just best not to think about it. Catchy song, goofy models and puppets, and the iconic corridor crawl a la Get Smart. And the theme song doubled as the expository monologue, which was a real time saver. 7. Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987-1994) What do you get when you cross the theme from Star Trek The Motionless Picture with the Shakespearean monologing skills of Patrick Stewart and a clever tribute the opening of the original Star Trek? Um, this opening, duh. By the way, the original Star Trek opening was pretty weak (whoosh! whoosh!), although nowhere near bad enough to make the worst list. As far as I can tell, Space the final frontier invented the expository monologue. 6. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993-1999) There was nothing special about the

[scifinoir2] Blade -- spoilers
Spoilers: Anyone still watching Blade? I had it on as background noise while working tonight. Gotta admit I wasn't as irritated tonight. Perhaps it's because they did a backstory of Blade as a kid, as his vampiric side started emerging. It was interesting to see that he was raised by parents for a while. Not sure if that jibes with the comic or not. I did think his rejecting his long lost father sucked. Also, Krista did something incredibly stupid to save her dying mom that will come back to haunt her. It seems dumb, but I guess we'd all be tempted to turn someone into a vamp if the choice was to watch them die, especially if we have medicine to help them hold back the hunger. I laughed out loud seeing Mom run amok on next week's show. Guess Krisa never counted on Mom's becoming a violent bloodsucker! :) Can't say I liked the show, but hated it less. By getting away from the dopey European vampire leader, minimizing the fighting (Sticky's fight scenes still suck) and limiting Krista's role in the episode, they made it less odious than others. Maybe I'll check out two or three more and give it a chance, especially once winter gets here. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo!
