VIDEO: THE ROOTS INTRODUCE MICHELE BACHMANN W/ DISS SONG & SHE HAD NO CLUE!

As many of you know, Questlove and The Roots are the in-house band for the nightly talk show Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. They’re also known for choosing appropriate and fitting tracks to accompany their celebrity guests as they make their entrance.

Well on Monday night’s show, the Philadelphia-natives decided to make a funny, yet political statement about republican congresswoman, Michele Bachmann by performing the Fishbone track, “Lyin’ A** B****” as her entrance music. What’s unfortunate is that presidential candidate had no idea what song was being played! I think the audience had more of a clue because we can barely hear the audience’s applause as she made her way out. Shade. Lol

Check out the clip below. Props to DDot for finding the clip! Continue

TV ROUNDUP: MARY MARY JOIN REALITY TV / OPRAH’S NEW PRIMETIME SHOW on OWN

Gospel duo, Mary Mary are making their way to reality TV! The singing sisters have officially partnered up with WEtv and will be giving us all a glimpse of how they strive for balance between their hectic careers and growing families. Below is a little synopsis of their reality series:

Music is a family business for the Campbell sisters: Erica’s husband, Warryn, is the group’s producer and Tina’s husband, Teddy, is the drummer in Jay Leno’s band. Outside of the recording studio, both ladies struggle to balance family life — a challenge all on its own. Erica and Warryn are expecting their third child in February, and Tina and Teddy are raising a blended family of four. The sisters also have a very large, extended family of seven siblings to deal with — one of which is the group’s stylist — and their parents, who have been married and divorced three times to each other, and now currently separated. When it comes to finding harmony, singing’s the easy part!

Their new 8-episode original series is tentatively titled MARY MARY and is set to premiere on Thursday, March 29th at 9pm ET/PT. Definitely look forward to the trailer. Will you be watching?
