Where are They Now? Cory and Topanga are Back!

Boy Meets World famed characters Cory Matthews and Topanaga Lawrence are headed back to the small screen! Audiences fell in love with them and now Ben Savage (Cory) and Danielle Fishel (Topanga) are set to reprise their roles in the Disney followup Girl Meets World. We watched the two make their way through life as preteens to young adults. Now married, Cory and Topanga take on the challenge of parenthood.

Set to debut in 2014, Girl Meets World, will focus on the couple's 7th grade daughter Riley (played by Rowan Blanchard) as she makes her way through middle school with her best friend Maya (played by Sabrina Carpenter). Will this modern duo live up to the legacy of Cory and Shawn?

Even though the spinoff centers on young Riley, the Matthews also have a teenage son, Elliott, who is just like his father, Cory. I'm sure fans are interested in seeing Elliott's storyline.

Creative and Executive Producer Michael Jacobs says the new series "will be rooted in the same kind of honest, comedic storytelling about coming of age and the importance of family and friendship that made Boy Meets World so popular" (Hollywood Reporter). I'm certain every BMW fan will tune in to find out. Mr. Feeney is even back...at least for the first episode. And how ironic is it that Cory is now a history teacher at his own daughter's school! Ha; it's funny how "life" works out.

Who Does Baby Kimye Look Like?

Congrats to Kanye West and Kim Kardashian! According to US Weekly and other media outlets, the two welcomed a baby girl into their lives when Kim went into full labor yesterday morning, about a month earlier than the July 11th due date. Just in time for Father's Day, the Yeezus rapper is a first time dad. This is also Kim's first child. TMZ reported that a source close to the couple has confirmed that both Kim and baby Kimye are doing well! It's also good to hear that Kanye was there by Kim's side while she gave birth.

No name has been shared with the public, if one has even been chosen yet. Other than a name, fans are anxiously awaiting a photo. Well, here's an EXCLUSIVE PICTURE OF LITTLE KIMYE courtesy of Philly's Q102! The new daddy definitely made his presence known.

Happy Father's Day Kanye!

THIRSTY FOLK, Listen Up!

Too often I see people, young and old, behaving as if they deserve whatever is in front of them and nothing more, nothing better. They underestimate their self worth because they're desperate and it shows. They consciously seek out relationship partners instead of letting the right one walk into their lives at the right time. What happened to a self righteous, confident, society? What happened to a society that wouldn't settle for less than it deserved? Why have so many become so thirsty? In other words, why are they so quick to seek attention and in so many of the wrong places anyway?

Earlier today, I had the pleasure to meet an older couple who had been married for 13 years. He was her date to her junior prom. Then she moved to California and he moved to Atlanta. Twenty years later they both just so happened to move back to Philadelphia at the same time and they've been together ever since. As they told their story, my heart just melted! After all of those years, something drew them back together. I'd like to think it was fate.

Moral of the story, just be patient folks. There's a time and place for everything and if something is meant to be, it will. If not, it wasn't for you in the first place. You deserve the best. Have faith and let that right person fall into your life when it's meant to be.

I'm just saying. Chill.

Made in America 2-Day Lineup Schedule

Make sure you're in Philly on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway for this year's Budweiser Made In America Festival. The 2-day event takes place Labor Day Weekend, Friday August 31st and Saturday September 1st. Beyonce is set to headline the first day.

Before the festival, Bey will be spending some more time in Philly. Her world tour comes to the Wells Fargo Center on July 25th. Then Jay-Z performs at Citizens Bank Park with Justin Timberlake on August 13th. Maybe Beyonce will make an appearance and tag along with her hubby. If not, the next time Philly will see her will be at the festival on August 31st.

Bey's little sis, Solange, is also set to perform that day along with A$AP Rocky, 2 Chainz, and Public Enemy. I hope A$AP brings Skrillex. I just want to hear Wild for the Night live. THAT IS MY JAM RIGHT NOW!

Nine Inch Nails will rock out as Saturday's headlining act. Throughout that final day of the festival, we can expect to see Miguel, Kendrick Lamar, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, Wiz Khalifa, Calvin Harris, and Emeli Sande hitting the stage. Take a look at all the acts below and stay tuned for a more detailed schedule and stage locations later this summer.

The Hart of Philly (Kevin Hart) is Coming Home!

It's official. Funny man Kevin Hart has been named the host of the 2013 Wawa Welcome America 4th of July Jam. The Philadelphian comedian, actor, and host could not come back to his hometown at a more perfect time. His new film Let Me Explain, based on his 2012 comedy tour, hits theaters on his birthday, July 3rd, the day before the concert! This will definitely be a very exciting week for the Hart of Philadelphia!

Check out the official trailer below.

You should certainly make it a point to see the film July 3rd then watch Hart host July Jam live the next day. I know I will!

Philly's own Jill Scott and The Roots are set to perform. Other performers include Ne-Yo, J. Cole, Jon Mayer, Demi Lovato, and more. For a full schedule of the Wawa Welcome America weeklong celebration, click here.

I had the chance to meet Miss Jilly from Philly and Ne-Yo as well as see them each perform live. He puts on a great live show! When you can put a face to a name and hear the raw talent, you really appreciate the music you've been listening to throughout their career. With him, Hart, Scott, and others, I think it's safe to say there will be lots to look forward to in Philly that week!

That Time Psy was Considered a Rap Artist & Nicki Gave Wayne a Lap Dance - WTH Moments of the 2013 Billboard Music Awards

After last night's Billboard Music Awards, I have to give props to Bruno Mars, Ed Sheeran, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, J-Lo, and Prince. Each of these artists gave refreshingly entertaining performances in my book! I mean, Bruno Mars with the classic Temptations look; Ed Sherran with the raw guitar-and-song; Macklemore & Ryan Lewis with the crazy flow and bumping beat; J-Lo with the non-stop-high-energy collaboration with Pitbull; and Prince - Just. A. LEGEND.

But how about all those WTH moments from the show? Those jaw dropping moments that made you just think, "WHAT THE HECK????"

First, Tracy Morgan as the host............Okay, let it sink in.........Any excitement? ......No?....I didn't think so. Big ups to him for getting the job, but you know what they say - the host makes the show. And the "Bill-BORED" Awards were mediocre at its overall best.

What happened to live singing? For every artist performing LIVE at a LIVE event, I recommend that actual LIVE singing be a requirement; without prerecorded tracks. That would make sense though, right? I'm just saying. Get some back-up singers if needed, but don't lip sync! Like What The Heck!? Shout out to Kid Rock for calling them out! He came on stage and the first sentence out his mouth was along the lines of "Let's give it up for all the lip syncing and singing over prerecorded tracks!" Ha!

Miguel gave a knockout performance - he literally knocked out a fan. Mid-performance while trying to jump over the mosh pit in some dress shoes, Miguel literally landed on top of some poor girl. What the heck? Just watch it here.

Ouch!

 Another ouch WTH moment - Justin Bieber went up to accept his Milestone award and in the middle of his acceptance speech, the crowd began to boo him. Like, What The Heck? Why? Maybe because he beat out ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez's BFF Taylor Swift. Who knows?

Anyway, while Bieber received boo's from the crowd, Lil Wayne received a special gift from a friend. How about a lap dance from label mate Nicki Minaj! What The Heck? Come on Nicki. That was just ratchet.

Also on the ratchet side were Erykah Badu's lopsided breasts. Sorry. I'm not a fan of her fashion and last night was no exception. Watching Badu during the Prince Icon Award tribute with Janelle Monae, all I was thinking was, "What The Heck is up with her wardrobe...and her boobs!?" Aww man :(

SMH. Poor baby.

Last but not least for my WTH moments of the Billboard Awards:

WHY WAS GANGNAM STYLE PSY IN THE RAP CATEGORY? Some "rap" artists are already questionable, but Psy!? Really? Like, WHAT THE HECK BILLBOARD???

Here's to hoping next year's show is an improvement!

What were your WTH Moments of the 2013 Billboard Music Awards?
