This Week's He Said She Said" is your gateway to celebrity gossip. Justin Bieber and the rumor of a break up with Selena Gomez????? Is it true or false? Tell me readers...

Justin Bieber tweets “Thank you for the time i had with you but i have to move on now.” The tweet was then deleted moments later. Was he talking to Selena? Follow Justin Bieber on twitter @justinbieber. Raven Symone: Once America's cutest child star now a lesbo? Is this shocking to the world? The National Enquirer thinks Raven Symone is a lesbian. They state she has been living with model, AzMarie Livingston. Raven Symone did not deny these allegations, but instead tweeted “I’m living my personal life the way I’m happiest. I’m not one, in my 25 year career, to disclose who I’m dating. And I shall not start now. My sexual orientation is mine, and the person I’m datings (sic) to know. I’m not one for a public display of my life. That is my right as a human being whether straight or gay. To tell or not to tell. As long as I’m not harming anyone. And my career is the only thing I would like to put on display, not my personal life. Kisses!”

Brand New MEN IN BLACK 3 Trailer














By now, I'm pretty sure that everyone knows there is another part to the Men In Black 3 franchise. Also, I'm sure everyone knows that there's a trailer available. But did you know that there is a brand new trailer that reveals a Mr. Andy Warhol to be an actual member of the MIB? I didn't think so. Well here it is. MEN IN BLACK 3 is set to arrive in theaters this summer.

Here's the synopsis:
In Men in Black 3, Agents J (Will Smith) and K (Tommy Lee Jones) are back… in time. J has seen some inexplicable things in his 15 years with the Men in Black, but nothing, not even aliens, perplexes him as much as his wry, reticent partner. But when K’s life and the fate of the planet are put at stake, Agent J will have to travel back in time to put things right. J discovers that there are secrets to the universe that K never told him — secrets that will reveal themselves as he teams up with the young Agent K (Josh Brolin) to save his partner, the agency, and the future of humankind.
Men in Black 3 opens on May 25, 2012.

NETFLIX acquires THE ARTIST















Netflix attempts to make a move to keep in the competition received from other rental and On-Demand companies. They've recently inked a deal with The Weinstein Company that will see the highly acclaimed and award-ridden film, THE ARTIST, debut on the DVD/Instant Streaming service before it has a chance to appear on any cable network. THE ARTIST along with other Weinstein films will be featured on Netflix which will no doubt help bring back some of the bravado that Netflix used to sling around before its' stumble. The list of films includes Ralph Fiennes’ Coriolanus, Madonna’s W.E., France’s The Intouchables and Sarah’s Key as well as the high-school football documentary Undefeated. They are all slated to premiere on Netflix within a year of their theatrical releases. This will also help to bolster Netflix's new releases section of their library which has been severely lacking as of late. What do you think of this move by the red envelope company? Let us know!

Horror 7500 provides trailer



Terror in the sky instead of the mile high club. Not exactly a flight that I would want to be a part of.  But the concept does spark my interest, to see other people in that situation of course. The trailer below does a good job of being spooky and curiously interesting at the same time. It also contains a couple of hotties to keep those of you who watch horror flicks for another reason altoghether to check it out. Let us know what you think of 7500 from director Takashi Schimizu (THE GRUDGE) which is set to hit theaters this summer.
Synopsis:
"7500 follows a group of passengers who encounter what appears to be a supernatural force while on a transpacific flight." Kwanten and Smart play "a married couple Brad and Pia Martin, who board Vista Pacific Flight 7500 with their two longtime friends for a trip to Japan." Bibb plays Laura Baxter, "a flight attendant on the transpacific liner, who is involved in a complicated and secret relationship." Chung plays Suzy Lee, "a newly-engaged flight attendant on Vista Pacific Flight 7500" while Serratos co-stars as Raquel Mendoza, "who boards the plane after sharing a secret with her boyfriend." Taylor-Compton plays Jacinta Beckett, who has "a unique perspective on death."

The movie stars Ryan Kwanten (True Blood), Amy Smart (Crank), Leslie Bibb (Trick r' Treat), Jamie Chung (Sucker Punch), Christian Serratos (Twilight), Scout Taylor-Compton (Halloween), Jerry Ferrara (Entourage), and Johnathan Schaech.

A History of Black Film


In the light and celebration of Black History Month, I’ve put together a small collection out of the vast library of highly-acclaimed African American films.  From Cicely Tyson to Denzel Washington to Spike Lee, I’ve included some of the classic films and mini-series that have come to contribute to my generation and others’ education of the struggles and contributions of Blacks in the past and present.  Now seeing as how there are tons of film to go over that fit rather easily into this category, this assemblage of titles are only a tip of the Black iceberg.


Native Son (1951)

Based on the novel written by Richard Wright this film focuses on a young black poverty stricken man living in 1930s Chicago. He takes a job as a chauffeur to a white family, which takes a turn for the worse when he accidentally kills the teenage daughter of the couple and then tries to cover it up. It stars Wright himself and Gloria Madison.  It was later remade in 1986 starring Victor Love and Matt Dillon.

Malcolm X (1992)

Denzel Washington continued his rise to fame by playing the title character of one the most influential and sometimes questionable civil rights leaders of our time. Directed by Spike Lee, the film also starred Angela Bassett and ran for 202 minutes.

Hotel Rwanda (2004)

Don Cheadle takes on the true-life story of Paul Rusesabagina, a hotel manager who took it upon himself to house over a thousand Tutsi refugees during their struggle against the Hutu militia in Rwanda.  Sophie Okonedo and Joaquin Phoenix also stars.  The film really takes the audience deep into the goings on of brutal civil wars within Rwanda and opens its eyes as well to the awful genocide in other part of the African continent.

Friday's Flick Picks



New Release - Red Tails (2012)

As much as I love film, there have been very few times where I’ve actually really anticipated the opening of a new movie.  This year marks the arrival of probably the most anticipated film in the history of me; THE DARK KNIGHT RISES.  But before the month of July can grace us with its presence, RED TAILS managed to spark my interest from the very first time I viewed its trailer last year.  STAR WARS baby-maker and executive producer George Lucas lends his talents to this rather inspirational story about the Tuskegee airmen, their missions and the adversity they were faced with to earn and succeed in those missions.

Who else to lead a cast of predominantly African-American acting talent than Terrence Howard who to me sometimes looks, from the way he delivers his lines and throws his “coolness” into his parts, like he is vying for the title of ‘the next Denzel Washington’.  He plays Colonel A.J. Bullard who heads the Tuskegee airmen program and fights and scraps to get his men a mission worth bragging about.  After finding themselves doing nothing but “killing traffic” after a slew of assignments blowing up supply trucks and military trains, they finally receive their chance.
