Kerry Washington and Michelle Obama Bring Dance Moves and Wise Words to DC Kids

15 hours ago | Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news »

Kerry Washington teamed up with Michelle Obama to honor students and teachers at Savoy Elementary School in Washington DC today. Both ladies spent time singing, dancing, and performing with the kids on stage, and the first lady made a special trip to one of the classrooms to show off her exercise skills and yoga moves. Between the fun, Michelle spoke to the students and faculty about the importance of overcoming failure - a valuable and encouraging message for Savoy. The school, which was once one of the lowest-performing in the District of Columbia, has shown significant signs of improvement since being designated as one of eight institutions selected for the Turnaround Arts Initiative by the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities in 2012. Celebrities like Kerry Washington, Forest Whitaker, and Sarah Jessica Parker joined the Obama administration in those efforts to help turn around failing schools by integrating arts education. »

First Lady Michelle Obama busted a move with some school kids during a stop at Savoy Elementary School in Washington, D.C. on Friday.

Obama danced to James Brown, who the kids called "the godfather of soul."

Obama -- along with Kerry Washington, star of ABC's "Scandal" -- encouraged students to "try new things and not be afraid to fail." The school, where the arts are being used to help boost student performance, is located in Anacostia, one of the Washington, D.C.'s poorest neighborhoods.

Look: Michelle Obama Dances With D.C. School Kids!

18 hours ago | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Washington -- Failure is Ok, but continuing to work hard is more important, Michelle Obama said Friday.

That was the message the first lady delivered to students at an elementary school where the arts are being used to help boost student performance. The school is located in Anacostia, one of the city's poorest neighborhoods.

Mrs. Obama said failure was not an impediment for her and shouldn't be for them.

She also encouraged the students to "try new things and not be afraid to fail, because we have all failed."

"You're looking at the first ... I have failed at things. Things have been really hard for me at times," Mrs. Obama said at Savoy Elementary School. "But all I had to do was keep going and keep working hard."

To further illustrate her point, she pointed to Kerry Washington, star of ABC's "Scandal," as another example.

Mrs. Obama said the actress, »

Scott Foley Talks New Comedy The Goodwin Games, His Wife's Reaction To His Scandal Love Scene

21 hours ago | Access Hollywood | See recent Access Hollywood news »

Scott Foley is spending his summer away from "Scandal" and competing in "The Goodwin Games," a new comedy on Fox.

The comedy series, which airs Monday nights on the network, was actually filmed before Scott's "Scandal" arc began, but was held by the network until now. Sitting down on Friday's Access Hollywood Live, Scott explained the premise of his funny new series.

"It's a very sweet idea for a show - the father dies and the sort-of-estranged children come back for his funeral. They learn that he's amassed this fortune and he's set up this series of games ...

See Every Single Outfit Olivia Pope Has Worn on Scandal Season Two

23 May 2013 1:05 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »

There's much to love about Scandal, from its fiery romances to its nasty political maneuverings. And at the center of this wonderful craziness is Kerry Washington's Olivia Pope — gutsy, brilliant, and incredibly powerful. Also, she wears suits! Lots of suits, lots of separates, and all within a very limited color palette of white, gray, beige, greige, black, and the very rare glimpses of ultra-pale pastels. We see Olivia in white suits pretty often, but she's more likely to be found in a gray suit or jacket this season, perhaps reflecting that she's in a position of moral ambiguity. (Or maybe it just looks great.) Journey with us through every single thing we've seen Olivia Pope wear in the second season of Scandal, won't you? Update: Now with the rest of the outfits from the end of season two! »

Is 'Scandal' too soapy to win Emmys?

22 May 2013 3:53 PM, PDT | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »

Recently, we considered why Kerry Washington, star of ABC's hit drama "Scandal," isn't considered a frontrunner for Best Drama Actress despite widespread acclaim for her performance and ratings that have steadily increased since the drama debuted last spring. Is there a racial component? Black actresses are certainly underrepresented at Hollywood awards, not because of a lack of talented actors but because of the dearth of prominent roles for them. Indeed, Washington would be only the fifth nominated for Best Drama Actress at the Emmys, and would be the first to win. But "Scandal" probably faces a different problem, which may be even more difficult to overcome: the Emmys' bias against soap operas. "Scandal," about a sexy political crisis manager (Washington) having an affair with the President of the United States (Tony Goldwyn), has grown in popularity precisely because of its sensational twists and tu »

Here's What Your ABC Fall (Black) Primetime Lineup Looks Like...

21 May 2013 3:22 PM, PDT | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »

Not much new programming from ABC to look forward to next season, as far as shows with black actors in lead/starring roles are concerned.  Of course both Shonda Rhimes series - Grey's Anatomy and Scandal - are returning. But both are already in ABC's arsenal.  Ashley Madekwe and Toks Olagundoye will return to their respective supporting roles in Revenge and The Neighbors, respectively. There's also Robert Wisdom in Nashville. One new series of note is Resurrection, which stars Omar Epps in the the top role, in the serial adaptation of author Jason Mott's debut novel, The Returned. Although it's a mid-season replacement, so don't expect to see it until sometime in early 2014.  There are a couple of new shows with black actors in them, although not necessarily front-and-center.  Isiah Whitlock Jr. is a member of the ensemble cast of Lucky 7, which revolves around seven employees of a service. »

Scandal 2.22 Recap – ‘White Hat’s Back On’

21 May 2013 7:57 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

Welcome back to Scandal, the finest slice of political drama on the TV, now with more fashion accessories, torture and twists and turns! It’s the finale of the show’s second season, aptly titled ‘White Hat’s Back On’ in a reflection of the season premiere ‘White Hat’s Off’, and with the big revelations that Billy Chambers, disgraced politician and murderer, is the Albatross and that David Rosen has betrayed the team, the team is scattered and scrambling to deal with wave after wave of problems. Let’s jump in, shall we?

Olivia and the team are running a handy little recap of the Billy Chambers reveal of last week, particularly the moment when Billy buys back his life from Charlie, the pair forming a friendship. David, meanwhile, is holding onto the Cytron card for security. Later on, the team look for someone who Billy can use to »

John Barrowman Hosting ABC Singing Contest Show

21 May 2013 6:30 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »

Recent Scandal guest star and Torchwood mainstay John Barrowman will host a reality contest show for ABC called Sing Your Face Off. According to EW, five celebrity ("celebrity") contestants will "take on the identity of an iconic music performer each week," attempting to impress judges Debbie Gibson and Darrell Hammond. The contestants are Jon Lovitz, Lisa Rinna, Sebastian Bach, NBA player Landry Fields, and Disney Channel actress China Anne McClain, so place your bets accordingly. As horrendous as this all sounds, maybe Syfo is the first step toward a musical special starring the cast of Scandal! Not a musical episode of the show, mind you, just a one-off special. Maybe with holiday songs? »

Why isn't Kerry Washington ('Scandal') a lock to win Emmy?

21 May 2013 6:21 AM, PDT | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »

Kerry Washington stars on one of the hottest shows on TV. The second season finale of her critically acclaimed ABC political drama "Scandal" topped nine million viewers last week. Yet she sits in the seventh slot on our list of the potential six nominees for Best Drama Actress at the Emmys. If she can reap a bid, she is spoilt for choice when it comes to which single episode to submit to the jury that determines the winner.  So, why is she not a frontrunner? Could it be racial bias?  After all, Washington stars on the highest-rated series among the top tier of women vying for Emmy recognition. "Scandal" is generating lots of buzz, meriting the covers of Entertainment Weekly and TV Guide. And she got great reviews: Alan Sepinwall (Hitfix) said, "she owns every moment she's on camera, and is completely believable as someone who'd feel comfortable charging into »
