Hudson Set to Make History: Graces Cover of Vogue

Hudson Set to Make History: Graces Cover of Vogue
By AMW !.e. Talent: Andrea M. White
February 15, 2007

Golden Globe Winner, Academy Award Nominee, and now – Vogue cover model can be added to the repertoire of ‘Dreamgirl’, Jennifer Hudson. On the cover of Vogue Magazine’s March issue, set to be released this month, Hudson will join a small, yet elite club, including Oprah Winfrey and Halle Berry, as the third African American actress and first African American singer to grace the cover of Vogue Magazine.



In her historical debut, Hudson is featured in the magazine’s ‘Power’ issue, which includes an in-depth interview with Editor-At-Large, Andre Leon Talley who has also been spotted and photographed with Hudson over the past few months and has taken an instant liking to the songstress. Noted Photographer, Annie Leibovitz, shot Hudson’s seven-page spread at the renowned Apollo Theatre in Harlem. Many of the photos had been leaked days before it was definite that the actress would be featured on the cover of the mega fashion publication. However after her Golden Globe win and Oscar nomination, critics believed she was a sure pick for the cover.

There is a belief in the publication world that African Americans on covers can’t sell magazines. Anna Wintour – a real-life institution in the fashion world and Editor-in-Chief at Vogue, made the decision to place Hudson on the cover of the ‘Power’ issue. Though this was a risky move to feature an actress with little acting experience and even less exposure, Wintour, best known as, “The Devil in Prada” is notorious for being controversial and daring. The fashionista also has perfect timing since the magazine will be released during Black History month and March is Women’s Herstory month as well.

Jennifer Hudson is having a year that most stars can only dream of. Though Hudson has a beautiful cover and feature story in Essence Magazine, hope is that sales for Vogue will prove that African Americans can be powerful contenders outside of African-American targeted media. The March ‘Power’ issue of Vogue is set to hit newsstands this week

Jay-Z and P-Diddy in Talks to Lauch New Video On-Demand Channel

Jay-Z and P-Diddy in Talks to Lauch New Video On-Demand Channel
AMW !.e. Talent: Andrea M. White
February 15, 2007

Just when Hip-Hop America was starting to believe Jay and Diddy didn’t have enough exposure, move over Bob Johnson – these two rap moguls are experimenting with the idea of launching a new urban channel through Video On-Demand.



The two were spotted recently in Philadelphia at Comcast Cable’s corporate operations along with movie producers/brothers, Harvey and Bob Weinstein and Comcast executives Ralph and Brian Roberts. This meeting, said to be the first of many meetings among moguls, was arranged by the Weinsteins who are looking to fund the project. Sources from the New York Post say the meeting was arranged to discuss the need for an “urban focused channel” that would be featured on Comcast’s Video On-Demand network. Comcast currently owns a 51% stake in TV One, a direct competitor of BET, and is aggressively looking to expand its Video On-Demand programming. Cable execs also state that music videos are among the most popular on-demand content – the idea is to create a VO-D version of BET.



While various sources say that Hov and Diddy would serve as managers of some sort for the new channel, their main purpose for the organization would serve as an attraction for younger audiences. The Hip-Hop community is anxious to learn what this could create for urban television; could this generate some serious competition for BET, challenging them to step their game up, or will this be the beginning of more “Making of the Band” reality drama – lets hope not. Either way, Jay-Z and P-Diddy continue to make waves throughout the industry and keep us on our toes.

Eternal Salute To Bob Marley



Eternal Salute To Bob Marley
by: AMW !.e. Talent: Andrea White


Whether it’s the soft sounds of “Three Little Birds” or the strong cry of “Redemption Song”, the timeless tunes of the late Bob Marley never seem to get old, and Marley continues his stance as a eternal music icon. Though the singer, songwriter and revolutionary has been gone for over twenty years, the world still continues to find ways to celebrate this great artist.

Bob Marley Week officially starts on February 6, which also marks the artist’s birthday. During this week, in the superstar's birthplace of Nine Miles in St. Ann parish, four of Marley’s sons will commemorate their father’s birthday with a live performance entitled, “Smile Jamaica.” This name is shared with a 1976 concert held by the Jamaican government to promote peace among politically backed gangs in Jamaica during the 70s. During this time, the Prime Minister felt a peace protest was warranted to stop the upheaval that existed among these groups.

The concert, scheduled for February 10, will also be held in part to promote peace, and will feature Stephen, Ky-Mani, Damian and Julian. Ziggy, the most famous of the Marley children is unable to attend the event, and AP sources state that this Grammy award-winning artist rarely visits his home. This week will concur with Jamaica’s busy tourist season, and promoters are looking forward to the success of the event.

The music legend has been called one of music’s greatest icons and has even been hailed as a Prophet by many. Marley, a devout Rastafarian, passed away 26 years ago and the world of music has never been the same. So, if you decide to travel to Jamaica to celebrate the life of Marley with his children, or if you are at home vibing from your favorite Bob medley, find your own personal way of showing your appreciation for a man – a legend who has provided the world with a timeless gift – reggae music.
