The British Are Coming, For DIANA!

So the Brits have spoken on the new Diana biopic starring Naomi Watts and it's not good

                               

Diana is a biopic about the love affair between the Princess of Wales (Naomi Watts) and heart surgeon Hasnat Khan (Naveen Andrews). The drama, which is directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel, covers the last two years of Diana's life, before her death in a car crash in Paris  

This is some reviews from British press     

 The Mirror's David Edwards described the film as "a cheap and cheerless effort that looks like a Channel 5 mid-week matinee"He awarded the film one star out of five.        

 Christopher Tookey's one-star review in the Daily Mail brands the film as "terribly, terribly dull".

Guardian critic Peter Bradshaw writes "I hesitate to use the term 'car crash drama', "But the awful truth is that, 16 years after that terrible day in 1997, she has died another awful death."


Wow! I know they hated Mary Poppins but this is crazy. I'm thinking that it most likely has to be script related or maybe Naomi Watts(an Aussie) portrayal .But for whatever reason, what i watched in the trailer was amazing. From someone who knew who she was to the world and all the turmoil with the royal family, this movie gives another side i knew nothing about

 I think the good thing about the film is it seems to shy away from the typical general Royal Family Drama and focuses more on her life after it and her transition into Dodi Fayed and her untimely death. I think the American critics will eat it up because of Naomi watts performance. after her stellar performance in last year's The Impossible( which was amazing, She would've won if not for J Law) I'm sure she will once again grace the Oscars and hopefully Win!

But time will tell.It opens in Theaters in the U.S Nov 1st  P.S check out The trailer!

My 2013 Emmy's Red Carpet Recap!

So as the Emmys Red Carpet has been rolled up a week now. Let's take a look at my Hits & Misses.

Starting  with the Misses :-(
                                                         Lena Dunham in PRADA

Hellz No Hannah! Lol  The dress was very reminiscent of Lucy Liu's  Golden Globe Gown (which i disliked) & that eye makeup....Lena Girl, Where were your GIRLS??

 Amanda in  Peet in  Erdem

       

Who's this you ask ? That's Amanda Peet...... Yeah didn't recognize her either. Judging from her young ingenue last year,maybe that's why she decided to go the couture bad girl  route. Unfortunately This goth style dress would've more been suited for a Kristen Stewart type. Sorry Amanda!

                                                Anna Faris in Monique Lhuillier

Ana..I loved her Dress! Monique is one of the Best , but That Hair! It's the Emmys and your got a new show to promote.Now is not the time for a full  on WIG! Lmao I  love how one site Laineygossip.com caught it too:Worst Emmys Makeup & Hair: Anna Faris Lol (Hey Lainey!)

                                                                  Lily Rabe in Vionnet 
                                                           
It looks like Sister Mary Eunice is still possessed lol . Except it was a stylist that passed the demonic dress onto her  Lol  I wasn't a fan! The dress is like American Horror Story, the mix of Good & Evil!

Now The Hits! :-)
                                                     Anna Gun in Romona Keveza

                                       Oscars Caliber!!!!!!! She looked amazingly elegant! Perfection!

Aubrey Plaza in  Marios Schwab

                 

April Lugate cleans up good! I think this Goth prairie look worked for her .

Allison janney in  Lorena Sarbu 

Ms. Janney Looked Stunning. For a woman of 53 she looks 35. Fuchsia Flawless!

                                                 Sarah Silverman in Stop Staring

KUDOS!!! For a $60 Sexy Safari dress (Now $162) with a Walter Steiger horn-heell),She
Werked it!  A-listers beware!! . Stop Staring should hire her! or dress her for every red carpet! ' :-)

And Of course My Best Of The Night

Kerry Washington in Marchesa

So honestly I didn't like it at first glance.But 2nd glance and learning it's an Off The Runway Piece 

                                                                          i got it! Lol
                                                  As this isn't her first runway Marchesa lol

 

According to the Huffington Post:"The cream-and-white hued design with a hint of gold lace and tons of flower appliques is from the fashion house's Spring 2014 collection, which means it's fresh off the New York Fashion Week runway and won't be available to mere mortals until next year."

Ahhh Perfection from the "World's Best Dressed Woman"!!

I can't wait until next year , to see who outdoes themselves or who doesn't do anything! :-)

Potential Theft, Deals with the Devil, and 3somes Oh My Lol

Why I CAN'T with this show! Lol 

Olivia Pope is Going to get an EMMY!!!

Thursday was the day i have been waiting for, since first season was over of SCANDAL!

KERRY WASHINGTON IS AN EMMY NOMINEE!!!!!!!!

Kerry as Olivia Pope was Groundbreaking in my opinion and the fact that the Emmy and Golden Globes passed her up last year (which had me mad especially that they gave Connie Britton a nomination and Scandal was on before it!, but whatever LOL) was silly. But all good thing must come to those who wait. And yes we all did wait. Kerry even went ahead and got married Lol

But Emmy morning i knew she would be called. I even had a nice Instagram exchange with a girl who knew it was going to happen to (shout-out to Angeliice On Instagram!) I saw the list online and i was like yess! I was at them time dropping off my boo at the subway, so i knew what i was doing when i got in. I went IN Lmao I was so excited for her and for the fact that she was finally being recognized for being the only black woman on primetime since Diahann Carroll in Julia and the first nominee since Cicely Tyson in 1994.

*SHAMELESS PLUG TIME***
I actually discussed in in my YouTube video about Black Hollywood. Check it out Here:

After speaking to my sister last night, she asked who were the the nominees and i told her. When she heard Claire Danes (Who's work i admire) she was like OH that's tough, she's good in HOMELAND! I said NOPE Kerry is getting it! It's her time! And DAMN it, it is! SCANDAL is like the best drama on TV and it's at the helm of a African American Female character running !@#$. Plus i think Claire will be more than happy with her 2 Emmys & Golden Globes! This is time for history to be had & made and by gosh it will be

My New Fav Web-Series!

So for those of you who are looking for a new black gay show to watch, FREEFALL is the answer.

 Description:

Xavier, Cameron and Nico continue to navigate a messy living situation when one by one the roommates get pulled into the dark side of Atlanta life. Watch as they fight to stay afloat and keep their personal relationships from taking them under...before the streets do.For these guys, their lives are enhanced, not defined, by their sexuality. Follow them as they share a living situation that becomes complicated both in and outside of their beds.

 Sounds good doesn't it.? Plus they are all real looking dudes. Not that there is anything wrong with the Gurlz Lol but it's good to have a show with some masculinity in it! So add that and
It's setup. It's not really like other series in the way that it's shot and storyline stricture, so that's what has me hooked on it.  Maybe it's because it's filmed down south which gives it that slightly urban southern grittiness i dunno but either way it's not the single guys in NYC or LA, and that's alright with me!

anyhow , all I'm saying is check it out!

Happy Birthday Michelle My Belle :-)

Today is One of my favorite artists and Person's Birthday, Miss Michelle Williams!!! 

She's one of the most humblest celebrities I've ever encountered.Calls me by name when we see each other, on Twitter etc. I made a nice little collage for her earlier. 

What can i say Imma Die Hard Fan! Lol

And here is an example of her Humbleness & Fan Appreciation!

Happy Birthday Michelle!!!

I'm Graduating, Yessssss :-) !!!!!

So as of  Earlier today, I can Officially say I will be a graduate in  BMCC, City University of New York Graduating class of 2013!!!

I passed Bio (Thank You Jesus) with a grade higher than expected( a C, y'all know me Lol)  as my Term long mantra was  " I just wanna pass so Just Give me my D" Lmao.

It's been a  long tumultuous semester of Genotypes, Molecules, Digestion mixed with, Langston Hughes & Moliere. I must say this semester has been a crazy one, and I'm glad it's over. But I'm saddened that I'm finally at the end of my BMCC road. A place i started back on '06, left in '07, then came back to finish in '12. I've learned alot and have growed alot as well. So i know that i should be ready for the next chapter in life. whether it be getting my B.A from City College (one plan) or just hitting the pavement harder than ever and landing my first Big Break (Goal#1) wel will see. But let me get through this week of graduation prep as my school is stingy with tickets! Lol I'm now forced to go and wait at school on Thursday to see if there are any extra tickets. If It ain't one thing it's the next!  Lol
