NEMI MEXICAN RESTAURANT + BAR in Philly
Tinsel & Tine’s look at NEMI MEXICAN: Bar and Restaurant By Le Anne Lindsay, Editor Got a chance to check out NEMI a new Mexican (Latin American Fusion) restaurant and bar in Port Richmond, Philadelphia (right off Girard Exit from 95).

Want Men Want – Spotlight
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor #MiniMovieReview WHAT MEN WANT (dir Adam Shankman) – Taraji and company deliver a solid rom-com with a lot of energy and heart. Nothing groundbreaking, but enjoyable. The wedding scene is hilarious and who knew Erykah Badu was a comedian? But mostly, I fell in love with her love interest the sweetly sexy Aldis Hodge. T&T the Large Association of Movie Blogs (aka the LAMb) rating: 3.5 outta 5 Congrats Taraji P. Henson on your Hollywood star! Much-deserved.
