The NYC Premiere of NOTORIOUS

MARY J. BLIGE

One of the most Incredible parts regarding this Biopic project is the fact that Faith Evans, Biggie's Long Term Love, was heavily involved in the creation of this film. In the very beginning stages, she was asked to contribute her input, ideas, concepts and facts as she directly recalls. As a result, the film portrays her relationship alongside B.I.G in such a way that is favorable, I suppose, to Faith's side of the story.

On the contrary, Lil Kim has begun to speak Openly regarding the affairs that surround the events portrayed in the film. Kim has grown increasingly angry and irritated with Faith and Biggie's Mom, for the specific ways in which her character is portrayed throughout the cinematic project. Lil Kim was given an opportunity to contribute her input, ideas, concepts and facts to the scripting process. However, she denied the request; hence her distate for the movie, itself.

In protest, I suppose, Lil Kim did NOT make a Red Carpet appearance for the premiere of the NOTORIOUS film on Wednesday night.

Umm...NO Comment This Time
ANGELA BASSET alongside MS. WALLACE

CIARA

DEREK LUKE alongside His Wife

I have ALWAYS hailed Derek as one of this generations most talented and prestigious young actors. I am always impressed with his on-screen performances, and look forward to his promising future in Hollywood. He caught me spellbound with his December 2005, debut performance as Antwon Fischer.

Black HollyWood Celebrates The NEW YEAR

Its 2009 Socialites & Celeb.U.Tantes!

As I wrang in the New Year in my hometown of Baltimore, Maryland, and then enjoyed the company of New Friends and Lifelongs in New York City on New Years Day, Hollywood's Black Celebs were celebrating across the country and beyond....

John Legend and his 'girlfriend' Christy, brought in the New Year at The Prive Nightclub in Miami, Florida. John recently celebrated his 30th Birthday.

WHY is No One Buying his 3rd, Studio LP; EVOLVER? People...The Project is HAWT!

Usher and Tameka, who recently welcomed their second, baby boy, Naviyd Ely Raymond, partied at The Bank Nightclub at The Bellagio in Las Vegas.

The coveted A-Listers, including Beyonce, JayZ, Mariah, Nick Carey and fashion guru, Marc Jacobs, Lived and Loved up the dawn of 2009 in the sought after region of St. Barts. It has become quite the HAWT SPOT for The Industry Elite.

Meanwhile, the trendsetting Duo, RIHANNA and CHRIS BROWN popped bottles and danced the night away in London, a la the Movida Nightclub. Chris embarks upon a European Leg of his tour, as he preps to record and release his long awaited, Grown and Sexy, Confessions Style LP.

Bey & Jay [Show and Tell...]

...as MORE Photos Surface...

She has SPOTTED The Paparazzi...

My public email account and message board has been flooded within the past few hours of even MORE photos snapped by the relentless Paparazzi, of Beyonce and JayZ on Vacay.

Aboard their $200,000 a week, 50ft. Yacht, GALAXY, The Highest earning Couple in the Entertainment Industry, are setting sail throughout the Carribean.

Bey and Jay on Vacay

Aboard their Xclusive Yacht, R&B Songstress and Hip-Hop impressario Duo, BEYONCE and JAY Z, bathe in the warm sun rays of The Carribean. God Knows, as I sit here in Washington DC this morning, visiting with friends, I would LOVE to be on Malibu Beach in California. I THOUGHT I missed the Cold...

My 2009 is going to be FILLED with bountiful Moments such as these, where NOTHING Matters aside from Me, the Water and Warm Sands.

In 2009 I WILL FINALLY Water Ski and Go Snorkeling!

Loews Theatre

New York, NY

In Theaters this Friday

DECEMBER 5, 2008

Black HollyWood invaded the Red Carpet of The Cadillac Records Premiere in New York City last night. Looking exceptionally Handsome and Debonaire, Columbus Short[ABOVE], alongside JayZ, Diddy, Mos Def, Gabrielle Union, and Miss. BeYonce Knowles, adorned The Loews Theatre in support of the film.

GABRIELLE UNION
MOS DEF
Theres already OSCAR BUZZ for his portrayal of Chuck Berry

I LOVE BeYonce's Gown!

SIN.Sational

NOTING: For those of you Who felt so compelled to leave NEGATIVE Comments regarding my BeYonce, 'I Am...Copy Cat' post, please KNOW and UNDERSTAND that I Respect BeYonce's Hustle, and ALWAYS Have. HOWEVER, as Beautiful and Marketable as she is, I bring focus to SOME of her ShortComings and Mishaps, as I do with My OWN, and that of other Artists, Performers, Actors, and Industry Wigs. I, myself, was INTRIGUED by the Similarities, Stylistically between BeYonce and the Other Female Artists who were Posted.

Accordingly, Please COMMENT on my OTHER more PROGRESSIVE posts, as OPPOSE to coming OUT of the Wood-Works ONLY when 'BeYonce' appears here on MY Blog. Display your INTELLIGENCE and BANTER on Topics related to Politics, Social Affairs and Other Cultural Aspects of Xem VanAdams and Emerald Eye Entertainment.

EVERYONE has an 'Opinion' about BeYonce. What are Your Ideas regarding the Rest Of The World?

I Sure WISH Justin Timberlake would SHAVE!

Justin Timberlake & Will.I.Am

Over the weekend, Justin Timberlake and his 'Industry Pals' rocked The Planet Hollywood Casino in Las Vegas. The showcase was presented as a Charity Concert Event in support of The Shriners Hospitals for Children.

I HOPE that Justin looks so Scruffy and HapHazzard as a result of Long, Late Hours, held up in a slew of recording studios, laying tracks for his Third, Studio LP. If NOT...I just CANT formulate a Reason...

RIHANNA

This Chic CANT Sing a Lick, BUT...She has a Hell-of-a-Stylist. Rihanna is ALWAYS TrendSetting, Edgy and Daring-to-be-Different. Im ALWAYS in Love with her Look.

ADAM LEVINE

Loving the Ink on his arm. Im NOT so sure Ill ever actually break down to get a Tat of my very own, BUT...on some Dudes, Tats are VERY Appealing.

LEONA LEWIS
...So I Guess 50 Cent and Justin are Performing 'AYO'...?

I Hope 50's Album gets PUSHED BACK from December 9th. Theres just Too MUCH Hitting the Music Stands this 4th Quarter. Im BARELY caught up with TI, Robin Thicke and NeYo.

BONUS SHOTS:

CHRISTINA MILIAN

JAY Z and DJ AM

DJ AM made his First, OFFICIAL, Public Appearance since his Fatal, September, Airplane CRASH in North Carolina. Here, DJ AM and Jay Z take to the Turntables and Mics to Celebrate the reopening of the HollyWood Palladium.

USHER

Though his 5th Studio LP, Here I Stand, is a Total FLOP, that not even the 'Steamy/Racy' video for the Trading Places single could save, Usher made a Red Carpet Cameo Appearance for GQ Magazines 'Gentlemen's Ball'; held at The Edison Ballroom.
