After spending last summer in NY shooting the film, the trailer for the much anticipated film, Just Wright, starring Queen Latifah and Common has finally been released. The film is a romantic comedy starring Queen Latifah as a physical therapist who finds herself falling for a professional basketball player, played by Common, while rehabilitating him from a career-threatening injury. Paula Patton also stars in the film as Common’s gold-digging, opportunistic girlfriend. You already know I’m a big Queen Latifah fan; so if I could pre-order the tickets, it would already be done!

Pop Icon Janet Jackson further proves her deep love for the LGBT community as she has taken on the role of executive producer of the documnentary ‘Being T.’ The documentary will give an insightful look into the lives of 12 male to female transsexuals living in New York City.

It is heart-warming to see a celebrity of Janet Jackson’s caliber lend her name, image, and most of all time to a project such as this.  Many A-Listers shy away from hard-hitting issues relating to the LGBT community, let alone the transgender sector.

As predicted, comedienne-actress Mo’Nique took home Oscar gold for her role as Mary Jones in the film Precious. Mo’Nique was nominated and won in the category of Best Supporting Actress. Mo’Nique now makes the 5th African-American woman to win an Oscar for acting. Recognizing the fact, Mo’Nique paid homage to Hattie McDaniel, the first African-American woman to win an Oscar, by wearing a flower in her hair, as did McDaniel, and giving mention of the trailblazer in her acceptance speech.

The most prestigious red carpet of all, the Academy Academy Awards,  where Hollywood’s shining stars bring their fashion Extravaganza Eleganza!!  As expected,  all of  Hollywood showed up and brought their best to the 82 Annual Academy Awards Red Carpet on Sunday (March 7).  A few of black Hollywood’s shining stars graced the red carpet, including would-be Oscar winner Mo’Nique, Gabourey Sidibe, Zoe Saldana, Queen Latifah and a host of others.

The fashion was quite daring for some and rather safe & uninspiring for others. Red carpet staples such as Jennifer Lopez, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Nicole Richie all adorned unique looks that sizzled on the red carpet, while others tragically fizzled.

Check out who fizzled and who sizzled after the jump… Read the rest of this entry »
