Before starting his recording career, Grammy-winning artist Ne-Yo was a chart topping songwriter for such artists as Mary J. Blige and Celine Dion. He then earned rave reviews for his platinum debut album "In My Own Words." Ne-Yo began writing at an early age and looked to Sammy Davis, Jr. as his idol. He also expresses his creativity through acting, painting and martial arts.

Pioneering film legend Sidney Poitier has consciously defied racial stereotyping. He's the first Black man to win the best actor Oscar and, in a 50-year-plus career, has starred in over 40 films, directed nine and written four. He's also a best-selling author of three autobiographies, including Life Beyond Measure. Poitier came to the U.S. at age 15, from the Bahamas, and began his acting career with the American Negro Theatre. An activist and humanitarian, he has appointments as the Bahamas' ambassador to Japan and UNESCO.

Usually I share Tavis Smiley's schedule and last week I failed to do to because I honestly forgot and I am traveling. (Excuses I am trying to make but that is my reality. I cannot remember everything!) My bad! I still love my Tavis Smiley show. [[TAVIS SMILEY ROCKS]]

The great thing about living in this century is that we have PODCASTS so I can catch up through iTunes by subscribing to Tavis Smiley on PBS to see or hear everything that I missed. I sincerely try to watch Tavis when I can because I learn a lot about the world we live in through his eyes and I do appreciate his work!

Please check out the guests this week on Tavis Smiely here:

A leader of the New Democrat movement, Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh is sometimes described as a "Republicrat." He's established himself as a centrist who seeks common ground with Republicans. In '98, after two terms as the state's governor and one term as secretary of state, he won the U.S. Senate seat once held by his father. Bayh was on the list of possible running mates with Gore in '00 and Kerry in '04 and, after forming an exploratory committee, surprised many by announcing that he would not run for president this year.
