Just saw this new Portland Mural across the street from the Belmont Library. The librarian told us that it was painted yesterday, but they were not sure who did it. The O is clearly an homage to Portland’s doughnut scene, but what is the T supposed to be/represent?

Mike Epps has generated an extraordinary amount of buzz among his peers within the entertainment industry for being one of the funniest comic actors to emerge in the Hollywood scene as of late.

When Epps isn't filming numerous feature films, he is touring the country and performing his comedy act to sold-out theaters and arenas across the country. In 2006, Mike's one hour comedy special, ¬Å“Inappropriate Behavior¬Â aired on HBO and was one of the network's top-rated one-hour specials of the year, followed by its subsequent DVD release that same month. Later that fall, Mike transitioned from his HBO comedy special to hosting duties as the new host of HBO's Def Comedy Jam, which aired on September 10, 2006. Read the rest of this entry »
