VING AIN’T KISSING NO MAN!

200px-Kojak_ving_rhames_001.jpg Ving Rhames ain’t out to do nothing close to the scenes in ‘Brokeback Mountain’. The actor is currently filming a movie with Adam Sandler called “I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry” where he plays a macho fireman who is a bit confused about his sexual preference, and had to shoot a scene involving him smooching another man.
Apparently, Ving was NOT having it and was uncomfortable to the point of not continuing the scene. The producers quickly grabbed an extra said to be a tall girl wih short hair and dressed her up in men’s clothes to finish the scene. Hollywood don’t get it twisted, he’s not anti-gay, he’s just the average black man. Sorry they just don’t get down like that…period! SOURCE

TOOTIE IS HAVING A BABY

kimfields.jpg According to the NY Post’s Page Six, friends of Kim Fields are reporting that the former ‘Facts Of Life’ star is three months pregnant. Kim recently has switched from the acting scene to the director’s chair and currently resides in New York. No word on the baby daddy if there really is one.

Anyway congrats to Kim if this is true!

BEYONCE SAYS SHE CAN TAKE THE BACKSEAT

beyonce_knowles1.jpg Bootylicious star Beyonky has nothing but love for Jennifer. Knowles spoke with reporters on Saturday and denied the rumors of a feud between her and Jennifer Hudson as well as jealousy over Hudson’s ongoing praise.

“I’m already a star. I already have nine Grammys. Everyone knows I can sing,” she said. “I did this because I wanted people to know that I can act and I can play someone so different from myself.” She admitted if she had the chance to play Effie, she would’ve - said Knowles, “I wish I could’ve gained 20 pounds and played Effie.”

Doesn’t that almost sounds like a subliminal way of calling Jenny big boned? READ MORE

E-mail IM Beyoncé Denies Rumors of Jennifer Hudson Feud
MONDAY DECEMBER 04, 2006 01:00PM EST

By Amy Longsdorf and Stephen M. Silverman

You can put those rumors of a feud on the set of Dreamgirls to rest. Beyoncé Knowles says that she and her costar Jennifer Hudson, of American Idol fame, didn’t have bad blood while filming the movie.

“I knew that the character that I played wasn’t the star,” Knowles, 25, told reporters on Saturday about knowing full well that her Diana Ross-esque role of Deena Jones was less meaty than Hudson’s part as Effie White – a part that is already getting Hudson Oscar buzz. “She wasn’t the underdog. She didn’t have the struggle and the pain and the dramatic scenes that Effie had, and I was fine with that.”

Taking the role was about proving herself as an actress. “I’m already a star. I already have nine Grammys. Everyone knows I can sing,” she said. “I did this because I wanted people to know that I can act and I can play someone so different from myself.”

So, what about the rumors of jealousy towards Hudson? “It’s really unfortunate that everyone is saying I’m jealous of Jennifer. It hurts my heart because it’s so clichéd. … They’re saying that I’m mad when I knew going into this that I was playing Deena,” said Knowles. “Because I’m a star they just automatically assume that I’m not humble enough to sit down and take a back seat, which I am.”

But the R&B star did admit that she would have liked to have sung Effie’s song, “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going,” a showstopper that, in large part, helped get Jennifer Holliday a Tony Award for best actress for the original 1981 Broadway version of Dreamgirls.

“I mean,” said Knowles, “I wish I could’ve gained 20 pounds and played Effie.”

Asked if she’d really have packed on the weight for the part, Knowles said, “Yes. I absolutely would have, but Bill (Condon, the movie’s writer-director) didn’t even believe that I could be Deena. So imagine if I would’ve said, ‘Bill, I want to be Effie.’ ”

And Knowles has high praise for Hudson’s portrayal of Effie. “Jennifer Hudson had such a pressure, first of all, never being in a film and never have done an album and still having to live up to those expectations,” said Knowles. “She did incredible.”

It did sound alittle bad but when you read the entire quote and see it’s addressing different topics it ain’t nothing.Thanks for posting that 162 people always taking people words out of context to make things sound worst than they are. I hope they both win awards for this movie. Like Lauryn Hill said “why for you to increase I must decrease” from “Forgive Them Father” on Miseducation . We don’t have to tear one of our stars down to up lift another one I think Beyonce gets it, the rest of you need get on board.

Tottie is having a Baby - Well, isn’t she suppose to ??? She has to be aleast 40 by now..What has she been waiting on ????

Beyonce - Was it necessary for her to say all that ???
She would have APPEARED to be more HUMBLE if she simply said “I support Jennifer Hudson, and I’m proud to act in a movie as HER co star”
This is WHY they really don’t need to let Beyonce talk…She says DUMB things when she’s not scripted or rehearsed by mommy & daddy….

I am sure JHud gives Beyonce respect for all she has accomplished. Oh and she is probably just honored to have worked with such a talented cast. Come on Beyonce, Eddie Murphy and Jaime Foxx, thats prob the highlight of her short career.

Stars of “Dreamgirls” upstaged by newcomer Hudson !!!

By Mark Egan
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The movie adaptation of the famed Broadway musical “Dreamgirls” stars Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx, chart-topping singer Beyonce Knowles and long-time favorite Eddie Murphy.
But in true show business tradition, an overweight unknown more used to failure than success is stealing the show.
“It’s the biggest honor I could possibly get. I’m so grateful,” Jennifer Hudson says of the buzz that she may win an Oscar for her Cinderella turn in the role of Effie White.
“I’m so grateful. All I wanted was the part, and to hear this now? It’s very exciting,” the actress and singer told Reuters.
If Hudson is surprised by the talk of an Oscar, it’s because her resume was rather thin: She is a college drop-out with six months’ experience singing on a cruise ship who later reached a mere seventh place on the TV audition show American Idol.
Now her silver screen debut has already won her fans even before the movie opens in New York and Los Angeles on December 15 and nationwide on December 25. At media screenings, the press have greeted Hudson’s performance with whooping applause.
Her biggest ovation comes during her rendition of “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going” — the emotional show stopper in the original 1981 Broadway show, which won six Tony Awards.
The New York Observer described her performance of that song as “five mellifluous, molto vibrato minutes that have suddenly catapulted Ms. Hudson … into the position of front-runner for the best supporting actress Oscar.”
Newsweek said that when moviegoers hear Hudson sing the song, she “is going to raise goose bumps across the land.”
The movie tells the story of a group of black female singers and is loosely based on the story of Diana Ross and The Supremes and the Motown record company. Hudson’s part is that of the hefty, difficult singer in the trio.

Hudson credits her voice to her Baptist upbringing in Chicago, where she belted out songs in church from age 7.
“I used to sing in the church choir,” she said. “People would say it was unusual for such a small girl to have such a big voice. They would say, ‘She sounds like she’s grown.”‘
Casting director Jay Binder, known for his work on major Broadway productions, said he is proud of choosing Hudson.
“It’s not like we found her working at the telephone company, but it’s the best piece of casting this office has ever done,” he said in an interview.
The part was no slam dunk for Hudson. After her first audition, Binder told her he liked her but said while she could make it on Broadway, she would have to lose some weight and work on her image if she were to make it in Hollywood.
“She was not as glamorous as we needed her to be. She needed to develop her figure in a more pleasing way,” Binder said. “We then went on, over the next six months, to see every African-American woman of a certain age on both coasts.”
After a nationwide search, countless auditions and open-casting calls failed to turn up the perfect Effie White, Binder remembered Hudson and called her back.
“When she came back six months later she was absolutely gorgeous. She was not a girl but a woman,” he said. “Without a question, it was her part. Whatever she had done, she now had sex appeal and was more comfortable in herself.”
Now as Hudson promotes “Dreamgirls” and is preparing to record an album for legendary recording executive Clive Davis, who made stars of the likes of Whitney Houston and Alicia Keys, she’s finding all the attention a little hard to believe.
“I have to pinch myself,” she said. “Am I really doing interviews? Is this really happening? Even on the movie set, I was stopping and asking myself, ‘Am I dreaming?”‘

@Ne-Ho for Ne-Yo

Thank you!!! Beyonce was first saying how she was born to play this role then in the past week since the screening and everyone is talking about Jennifer Hudson’s performance now she is saying that she didn’t have much dialogue and you won’t get a chance to see her real “skills” (as if she had any). She is one statement away from being totally hated by the public. She better watch her mouth.

I LOVE Beyonce…don’t get me wrong…but she need to sit down somewhere with this comment.NE-HO for NE-YO is right…she CAN’T take the backseat and she made it obvious cause all that talk she was doing about how she waited her whole life to play Deena and that the role was made for her…now she wanna play Effie…that’s fake….she sounds jealous to me. She said how she feels Deena is her so why all of a sudden she wants to be connected to Effie? She never made it seem like Deena’s role was taking a backseat to Effie’s cause it’s NOT. The limelight is on her in the movie, even though Effie can “sing” better, Deena is the star and she knew that. She thought this was her big break, she wanted this movie to be about HER, and now that she sees it’s not she is saying anything. You know…she has tried to portray herself as being humble ever since her DC days when everyone blasted her, but she is slowly coming out of her shell. I could always tell she wansn’t being her FULL self. Someone told me that she said she was a better singer than Lauren Hill on Oprah and that she would never fall like she did, in so little words. Did anyone see that? Even though the statement is arguable, that was a very un-humble thing to say and throwing her grammy’s and singing ability into the comment was uneccessary…sounds like she was bragging like “Naw, I got grammy’s, let Jennifer get her lil recognition”…hater….gotta love her though…I guess…

Black people need to wake the hell up. I’m shocked that out of all black male actors, Ving Rames would have a issue with this. If the black community as a whole wasn’t so blatantly homophobic, I’m sure Ving would get over whatever issues he has and kiss another male actor. Just like there was not any tongue involved in the kissing in Brokeback, I’m sure the director of this film wasn’t asking Ving to shove his tongue down the guys throat.

For career reasons, which I understand, he is concerned how the black community would react, and we all know for the most part it would be negative. But it’s called acting folks.

I remember in the early 90’s there was controvery because the Wayan’s brothers would greet each other with a kiss in public. Though it was mostly on the cheek, I remember some black folks going crazy. A couple of months ago, Lil Wayne and Birdman were seen giving each other a smack on the lips (despite what some believe it really was only smacks and not long drawn out kisses with tongue involved). As we know from this site, many couldn’t see that and interpreted those smacks as something sexual. It’s not all that serious people.

I’m not saying all men should go out now and start kissing each other but in situations like this Ving Rames thing, what is the big deal?

Lastly, I’ve always found it interesing that a lot of people who would give Ving props for not kissing a man, have no problem with two women kissing (tongue included unlike the Ving situation).

I loved Ving in Holiday Hearts, but I couldnt believe that it was him who player “Holiday” when I saw baby Boy! LMBO—clearly he’s not homo-phobic cuz Miss Holdiay was two parts sweetness and one part steel.

Beyonce’s comment is VERY juvenile. The comment seems to be taking a stab-in-the-back at J. Hud. She’s officially a bitch and that comment, if it weren’t so cleverly disguised, is full of hatred, animosity, and EVIL. She is just wrong wrong wrong.

I stood up for her when Pink called her a bitch…but now I concur…for diff. reasons, but still Beyonce Giselle Knowles…u r a nasty, jealous, evil BITCH!

Hmmm….”im already a star…ppl know I can sing…” wtf does that have to do w/ the movie????

“I would have loved to gain 20 lbs…” Clear stab at J Hud’s weight EVEN THO the BITCH did not have to lose 20 lbs for Deena’s role….dumbass.

Dont ask Beyaki, ask J. Hud if there is beef…of course u wont get the truth from Beyaki…she has too much face to lose by admitting jealousy.

She’s says she aint jealous…. I say

“I dont b-leve you….you need more ppl”

Anyone can ACT gay in the movie, as long as he isn’t taking backshot’s, biting Pillows, or trading spit….

Remember that Movie a few years ago called To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmare, staring
Wesley Snipes, Patrick Swayze & John Leguizamo ….
Non of those guys were gay, but they played gay drag queens.

I also remember watching Cuba Gooding Jr. Play a gay character in this Movie called “As Good as it gets”
Staring Jack Nicholson & Helen Hunt …. Cuba Gooding isn’t Gay either…

Ving was not feeling the kissing scene, cause Ving ain’t gay…….

Why is that so difficult to understand ???

I dont believe that there was any real bitter animosity between the Dream Girls,lol! I do however believe that Beyonce thought that her role would be more ground breaking than the role that Jennifer Hudson plays! I am not one to hate on Beyonce JUST BECAUSE) I have to have a real reason to say something negative about her) . However did nayone see her face when Jennifer Hudson appeared on Oprah. She was smiling but I dont think she was prepared for the standing ovation and accolades rained upon Jennifer about her performance.Jennifer was humble but Jaime Fox and Beyonce seemed alil setback by the reaction,lol.Both ladies are very talented, but hey I guess its Jennifers Day to shine.

Ya’ll are too funny…
I enjoy Beyonce’s performances, music, etc…however, I agree with the overexposure of Beyonce, but this is her time to do what she’s here to do…and we’ll ALWAYS have something to say…no matter what…

Now after reading this article in People Magazine(http://people.aol.com/people/article/0,26334,1565678,00.html), I can see where Bey is coming from. HOWEVER….this is what she’s telling people who stick microphones and camera’s in her face all day long. Its part of her job to put on a smile at ALL TIMES…
When you’re at work you do the same in front of your boss. She’s at work every single day. No breaks.
These people are TOLD what to say for certain questions by their publicists all the time. Its just like a lawyer telling his/her star witness what to say and how to portray themselves on the witness stand..

Like KITA BKA just said, ask Jennifer.

People are truly amazing. Jennifer Hudson gained 20 pounds for the damn role. Anybody who knew the original play, or read the script beforehand knew that Jennifer Hudson’s part was more essential to the movie. It was always a star-making part as it turned out to be for Jennifer Holiday the original Effie. (Although Sheryl Lee Ralph, who played Deena, became the the bigger star eventually). Beyonce is being pushed in front because she is the biggest DRAW so in a sense she’s being used for her star power to promote the film.

@ 211…If you (assuming that you are not a crackhead) had to portray one in a film and mid-way through it, in order to get a “real” reaction, the director told you to light a pipe (I guess that’s what crackheads do) and smoke the crack or REALLY stick urself with a needle…would you?

Case closed. It’s the same thing.

There is a diff. btw professionalism and invasion of personal space.

Kissing a person of the same sex, romantically when you are not gay invades ur personal space and he had a right to say no.

thanx, Bill….just read ur comment.

I see where’s she coming from, she does sound jealous, but I don’t care. I will admit that Jennifer can sing better than Beyonce, but I don’t care. Fellow bloggers, is all this hype really worth all this drama? Celebs are prone to have bitch fits, and Beyonce’ and Jennifer Hudson are no exception. Just my two cents.

Good for you Ving.

I wonder if Tootie’s baby daddy lives in a test tube. Cause I haven’t seen pics of her with anyone.

Whatever Bee.

even if she didn’t mean to have a the arrogant tone she had that comment still sounds bad. she’s sounds stuck up by feeling the need to state not only that she is a star and has grammy’s but also HOW MANY she has….if she didn’t mean it the way it sonds she should picked a better way to say it. but we’re all human so we’re bound to screw up.

I think Ving should stand on his principles.

Thats whats wrong with Hollywood. They have no morals.
And just because it is your job to act you also can let the producers and the directors know what you feel uncomfortable with. Who sayes you have to actually kiss someone in a movie if you really don’t want to.

There have been several actors that did not do love scenes with their counterparts because it was just too awkward.

Not wanting to kiss someone of the same sex is not being homophobic.

Some actors do it because they need the buzz around their career but apparently Ving does not feel he needs to take that route.

So basically what I’m saying is if you don’t want to do don’t. The producers and directors can always put a stand in just like they did.

Some of the greatest singers started in the church.

As for Bey, I’m not totally surprised by her comment.
She might be under pressure and is feeling the heat from the buzz around JHud.

I think she could have come accross a little more humble. That comment sounds a little snobby.
It is not nec for her to remind her fans that she is already a star. Everyone can see that.

I think people should maybe go and read the article because I think a lot of people are taking it of context…
Ving, I am torn, because I understand him not feeling comfortable doing the scene. But, I don’t think people should be waving the “Ving Rhames is standing by his principles flag” either b/c he is playing a “confused” character and has played a gay character (Holiday Heart) before, so clearly this isn’t a morals or principles issue.
I thought Tootie got married?

After reading the entire article it seems to me that Beyonce was insulting JH but making it seem like she was complimenting her. There was no need for her to talk about her 9 grammy’s and that everyone knows that she can sing. Then at the end of the article she is so called givng JH praise but at the same time she’saying that she never acted or made an album before as if we didn’t already know that. As for Ving if he doesn’t want to kiss a man then he shouldn’t have to. They have stunt doubles for everything else, so why not one to kiss.

Ving Rhames has a problem kissing a dude but had no problem playing a Drag Queen in one movie and getting his azz raped in “Pulp Fiction” Yeah Ving did u think we all forgot about that one…….?
