Nightmare Taking Spotlight from Dreamgirls Debut

Nightmare Taking Spotlight from Dreamgirls Debut
By Andrea M. White

Celebrity beef and gossip are all the rage of the entertainment industry these days. With television shows like BET’s Beef the Series, along with a variety of DVDs with hip-hop artists taking shots at each other, it seems like fans can’t get enough of engaging themselves into the drama-filled lives of celebrities. From the hip-hop stage to the big screen, the newest celebrity drama, that has even my ear to the ground, is the alleged beef between R&B’s sweetheart Beyonce Knowles and her costar, American Idol contestant, Jennifer Hudson.

First leaked on a popular tabloid media website, sources purportedly told a reporter that there was bad blood between Knowles and Hudson, mainly because of the attention Hudson has been receiving from her legendary performance in the remake of the Broadway classic, Dreamgirls. Though Knowles has denied any animosity toward her costar, she poured gasoline onto the burning rumor mill with her sudden departure from the NYC premiere held Monday night. Her excuse however was that she had planned a romantic evening with her man Hova along with the private plane she had rented to celebrate his 37th birthday. With all the negativity surrounding the relationships of the female cast, they have held their composure and have handled themselves in a respectable manner.

Amidst the so-called beef, it’s important that fans and supporters of this film and this casts of stars, which include Eddie Murphy, Jamie Foxx, and Danny Glover, not forget what is important. Dreamgirls has created the type of buzz that black films have been longing for. Not only hand-clapping, standing ovation buzz, but Oscar buzz for the 24-year-old Hudson who received a standing ovation in the middle of the film during Monday night’s premiere. Lets not continue to let instigating soothsayers destroy the fact that this film has brought Broadway to its knees with thanks and praise, along with interest of recreating the Broadway film due to the spark that Dreamgirls has created in both the US and the UK. Among all of the not-so-golden black films released today, this production shines as one of the best. Supporters of positive, black entertainment must continue to support the efforts and on December 25th, end the nightmare at a theatre near you and watch this dream come to light on the big screen.

Cheadle to Direct and Star in Miles Davis Movie

Cheadle to Direct and Star in Miles Davis Movie
By Andrea M. White

Oscar nominated actor, Don Cheadle is set to direct and star in the story of the legendary jazz icon, Miles Davis. An idea that has held his devotion for almost a decade, Cheadle has been trying to get the wheels turning on Davis’s biography for some time, but due to complicated issues related to music rights, the Hotel Rwanda star could not bring the life of the jazz great to the big screen.

Sony BMG had Cheadle’s hands tied with legal loopholes which hindered the star from developing his idea. With the help of some heavy-hitters in the film industry, including producer, Cary Brokaw, Cheadle was able break through the red-tape and start preparing this new film, which is scheduled to be released next year. Brokaw, who was instrumental in getting the red-tape cleared for this film, has won 2 Emmy’s including an Emmy for the HBO mini-series, Angels in America.

The story of Miles Davis is sure to be both sad and intriguing. Davis could be a milestone and a madman simultaneously. This genius was able wow the industry with his innovative music vision and fusion, and at the same time be confrontational and brash due to his natural facade combined with recreational drug use. The story of Miles Davis is sure to keep audiences captivated, along with the Cheadle who is destined to make this his most stellar performance.
