  From the MTV trailblazer, stand-up comedian, and actor, a hilariously candid memoir that is an intimate, entertaining, and heartfelt tour through the exclusive, elusive, and eternally iconic world of ’90s pop culture. 
  Imagine 50 Cent’s Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter written by a nerdy Black kid from Newark, New Jersey, who made it big despite the skepticism of his family. That’s Top Billin'. 
  Bill Bellamy is Carlton Banks’s slightly cooler and comedically inclined alter-ego—a guy who went against the grain and left a promising corporate career path to pursue comedy (much to the dismay of his family). Making the leap paid off—in ways Bill never expected. In Top Billin', he looks back at his time at MTV during the ’90s, when the cable music channel was at the epicenter of pop culture. He recounts his legendary interviews with the biggest pop stars—Tupac, Biggie, and Kurt Cobain—making friends with Janet Jackson, and even coining the infamous term “booty call” on HBO’s Def Comedy Jam. During his time at MTV, Bill broke color and class barriers, appearing four times a week on the network’s various programs, including MTV Jamz and MTV Beach House. 
  Top Billin' is an exclusive, all-access backstage pass to Bill’s career and life. It’s all in here—memories, music, and unforgettable moments, including conversations with some of the decade’s legendary artists, the best of the ’90s celebri-tea, nostalgia, and insights on what it meant to be a tastemaker during one of the most exciting and innovative periods in music and American pop culture history.

  Art Therapy - The Study and...

  Art has been an integral part of human expression for millennia, transcending language and culture to communicate thoughts, emotions, and experiences. In the realm of therapy, art serves as a transformative tool, offering individuals a unique way to process their emotions, explore their identities, and navigate life’s challenges. Art therapy bridges the gap between the conscious and unconscious mind, enabling a form of expression that words often fail to capture. 
  At its core, art therapy leverages the creative process to foster emotional healing and psychological growth. Unlike traditional talk therapy, where verbal articulation is central, art therapy focuses on the act of creation itself. This approach allows individuals to externalize their feelings, making abstract emotions tangible and, therefore, easier to understand and address. Whether through painting, drawing, sculpting, or digital media, the act of making art provides a safe and nonjudgmental space for self-reflection and exploration. 
  The power of art in therapy lies in its accessibility. You do not need to be an artist to benefit from art therapy. The emphasis is not on the aesthetic value of the work but on the process and what it reveals. For children, who may lack the vocabulary to articulate complex feelings, art therapy offers a way to communicate visually. Adults, too, find solace in the creative process, as it can unlock suppressed emotions and provide clarity in moments of confusion or distress.

  Good Morning Olive - Haunted...

  Hamlet calls death "that undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveler returns." 
   
   
   
  But he's wrong. Some do return. 
   
   
   
  Each night after the applause dies, the curtain falls, the audience vanishes, the cleaners dust, and the lights are killed, great theatres become dark and silent places. But not always quite empty. 
   
   
   
  That's when the theatre ghosts make their entrance and strut and fret their hour upon the shadowed boards, illuminated only by the ghost light, the solitary lamp that is required to burn through the night on every Broadway stage. 
   
   
   
  Many of Broadway's busiest theatres continue to be just as busily haunted by spirits, some with well-known names and histories. 
   
   
   
  Good Morning, Olive (named for one of the most beautiful and temperamental of Broadway's ghosts) is about the ghosts that haunt theatres in New York and around the world. 
   
   
   
  Broadway is the playground of stars, so it's probably not surprising to learn that even its ghosts are stars. Meet some of Broadway's best known—and most active—celebrity ghosts. Don't worry: like Casper, they tend to be friendly. For the most part.
