The NYC Premiere of NOTORIOUS

NOTORIOUS Premiere
AMC Lincoln Square Theater
New York, NY
ABOVE
Naturi Naughton [Lil Kim] and Jamal Woolard [B.I.G]
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.

Meagan In Miami [My Baby Muva]

KARU & Y NightClub
Miami
For future reference, Meagan Good is Baby Muva#1 and Kim Kardashian is My Baby Muva#2.
So, over New Years Weekend, Jaime Foxx hosted a Bash at Karu&Y in Miami. Amongst the celebrity guests, was none other than the Beautiful and Buxom, Meagan Good. YUMMERS!
She is going to receive MUCH HYPE here at XemVanAdams.com during this 2009 New Year!
Meagan was actually the FIRST Celebutante I met here in Los Angeles when I arrived. She was shopping in the God-Awful Beverly Center Mall during my first and ONLY visit there. She was so Gorgeous; simply adorning a pair of Gray Leggings, a White Tank Top, White Flops and a Ponytail. She looked AMAZING...as she does HERE as well.
By The Way...
She's posed with her arms covering her BOONDATTAS, because her Top is SHEER. She's smart enough to REALIZE that the Flash from ALL of the Paparazzi Cameras, was going to Xpose her Nipples to the Gods.
Im NOT so sure that I dig the matronly black, belly wrap, but Otherwise, Solange looks SIN.Sational~

Jaime Foxx Hosted

Miss. Kim Kardashian
Over the Weekend, Kim attended the 2008 SpikeTV Video Game Awards here in California. The awards were held in Culver City, which is literally 5 driving minutes from my North Hollywood apartment.
I can NOT wait to get OUT of here on Saturday, en route to BALTIMORE! Theres NO place like your Real HOME.

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.

Rihanna...Style ICON?

RIHANNA
A TrendSetting Ingenue
of
Forge-Fashion & Edge

Many of you KNOW that I am NOT a FAN of Rihanna's Vocal skills, Stage presence or present 'Status' as this New, POP 'SuperStar'. Though Rihanna doesnt Write her own material, Dance or Sing worth a Damn, she does indeed embody a young woman whose Style and Dare-To-Be-Different prowess are worth a Second Glance.

Rihanna has just been named the FACE of GUCCI's Winter 2008, UNICEF Campaign. Alongside Creative Director, Frida Giannini, Rihanna has embarked upon a series of Commercials and Design House Appearances, marketing and wearing the GUCCI Brand.
I LOVE Rihanna's ability to blend layers of Scarves, Necklaces, Bangles, Torn Jeans, Motorcycle Gloves, Vintage Tees, and Rock & Roll Accessories into most of her Stage and Red Carpet Ensembles. Though NONE of the Original Concepts or Ideas are of her own, She sure as hell does have a SIN.SATIONAL Stylist.

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

Making a Red Carpet Cameo at The FallOut 3 Release Party. FallOut 3 is a Post-Apocalyptic Role-Playing Game. WHATEVER...

Seems like Something Syrai would get into.

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.

HollyWoods Royal Black Family...

Will and Jada Pinkett
The REAL...
Mr. and Mrs. Smith

HollyWood's Royal Black Family


As Will CELEBRATES the $107.3 Million Dollar Weekend OPENING of his latest Blockbuster installment, HANCOCK, I have decided to take a Moment to SPOTLIGHT this Black Family of the HollyWood Circuit.

Its very rare, that two Amazingly attractive, talented, ambitious, and head strong individuals, with obvious leadership qualities, can unite, and remain united for 12 Years. It seems like a Short period of time when compared to the 40+ and 50+ years that some of our grandparents and great grandparents remained married. However, in this day and time, ESPECIALLY in regards to how our generation jumps in and out of relationships, 12 years is monumental. Amongst the Hollywood Circuit, inately, 12 years may as well be a Lifetime. Still, against all Odds and beyond all Favorites, Will and Jada have managed to keep their machine of family togetherness, going Strong; in spite of Public Spectacle and Massive Public Attention.

We've ALL 'Heard' the RUMORS in regards to Will and Jada's Passions that include living a 'Swinger' Lifestyle; meanwhile, both being involved in Same-Sex relationships, and using their marriage as a Cover-Up for these extra-marital affairs. However, whether these rumors serve any real Merit isnt necessarily relevant to the fact that together, Will & Jada have managed to create their own Production Company; spearheading such television projects as 'ALL OF US', as well as the Soon-to-be-Released, THE HUMAN CONTRACT; a Written and Directorial Debut from Jada, Specifically. Will and Jada host various soirees in their home, in Honor of their Friends and Family, much like the extravaganza that was thrown to Honor Queen Latifah in 2003, for her Oscar Nominated role in the Critically acclaimed, CHICAGO.

Being nominated for two Lead Actor Oscars himself, for his coveted roles in ALI as well as the Holiday Fave, PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS, Will has managed to successfully transform his career from Grammy winning Rap Star and Television Comedian, to a BlockBuster, $20 Million Dollar per picture, Movie Star. In contrast, Will's financial stability and Hollywood Royal status, has given Jada the opportunity to pursue her various musical ventures, as she performs across country as the lead singer for a Euro-Rock/Rap group, WICKED WISDOM. Jada will reinvent herself on the Major Movie Screen, once again, as she plays a Lesbian character, alongside the likes of Meg Ryan and Annette Benning in the 2008 remake of 'The Women'.

Its obvious that Will and Jada nurture their environment, for both of their children, JADEN and WILLOW, have begun to chew their acting chops; Starring alongside their father in 2006's PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS and 2007's I AM LEGEND. As the result of their initial and rather natural abilities on camera, both Willow and Jaden have follow up projects that are receiving quite a bit of media attention. Jayden will star alongside Jennifer Connely in a November release, THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD, as Willow is already basking in the success of her Summer Sin.Sation, KITT KITTREDGE.

Ultimately, the Smith family, in following in the likes of OSSIE and RUBY DEE, are paving a nitche amongst the Hollywood Royals; one to be Beloved, Honored and Respected, by the Black and White communities, at large. I only HOPE that as I continue my journey towards Mainstream Stardom, in the fields of Screenwriting, Directing and Production, that I will someday have the opportunity to work directly alongside Will, Jada and their children. I HOPE that they remain a united pair, for as LONG as they possibly can; for it becomes even more difficult to fight the demons of Fame, Flash and Fortune; as the Lights upon Center Stage become Brighter.

The MAXIM Hot 100 Party

The 2008 MAXIM Hot 100 Party
Young HollyWood gathered this week to Celebrate the Fame-Face-Fla$h & Fortune of their Daily Lives; to say the least. HA* Maxim sponsored their annual svete' to Honor those, 25 and Younger, who are Trendsetting and Reinventing PoP Standards in the Entertainment Industry. Some of this Years Most Attractive and Successful Reality Stars, Musical Performers and On-Screen Teens were invited to attend.

The Very Beautiful

CHRISTINA MILIAN

The Rumor Mill is Spinning that Christina is BACK in the Studio, recording a NEW Album.

I look forward to her NEW Material. I WISH that people would give attention to R&B Starletts, OTHER than BeYonce, Alicia, Mary and Mariah. Though I LOVE and ADORE the aforementioned R&B Starletts, I simply want to see OTHER Young Hopefuls, given a fair chance on the Music Map. Christina isnt the BEST Vocalist, but...Some of her Singles/Tracks really are SIN.Sational.

Malibu Prince:

BRODY JENNER

with

KEVIN FEDERLINE

I Wonder if Brodys Bracelet is an item included in the Summer collection of his ARCHANGEL Jewelry Line...?

Reality Screen Queen:

LAUREN CONRAD

I just watched the Season Finale of The Hills, YESTERDAY, as I took a break from my tideous, packing Xperience. Umm...its becoming More CLEAR to me, just how Scripted her show really is. Ive Missed at least 6 Episodes from this season, tho they are all still TiVod and Saved.

I dont understand HOW she cant Possibly UNDERSTAND the ways in which Audrina would be made to feel outcast and neglected, now that Lo has been brought into this Moving Picture. Its CLEAR that the dynamics of any relationship CHANGES once 'Other' individual forces surface. Its the story of Many Lives.

AUDRINA

Doesnt She Always Seem to Just Fall into the BackGround?

AMANDA BYNES
She will NEVER be a Lindsay-Love in My Heart. HOWEVER, I Loved her performance in SHE'S THE MAN, and thats WHY Ill continue to Support her Projects. She doesnt have any real Edge, BUT...theres something genuine about her On-Screen, Red Carpet, Live Interview, persona that I really get into.

Mega Producer:

WILL.I.AM

with

TILA TEQUILLA

I do, indeed, WISH that More individuals would have paid attention to WILL.I.AM's last project. The CD was released last fall, and flopped, miserably. Still, I am riding around town, listening to a good 6 or 7 tracks from the Project.

STEVE-O

Im Kinda Diggin this Shot. Im Clearly gonna Steal this Pose for All of My Cali Photos.

SHANNA MOAKLER

Awe...Well, at least She's STILL Trying...

Its HARD to remain RELEVANT in HOLLYWOOD

The PUSSYCAT DOLLS

Is Nicole Pregnant? Look at the Ways in Which her Blue Dress Fits and Falls around her Tummy.
