I like Katie’s dress but I had no idea she was so tiny now! She was always curvy, with hips and a wide little bum…now, though SMH she looks like her best friend Posh Spice.

As for The Color Purple…Lakisha will be who? Sofia? Well who will Chaka be?

I love Katie’s haircut. I didnt even know she was in the movie…

Queen Latifah looks amazing and I love her outfit and the leopard peep toe.

On the other hand I love Mary but her outfit is a little too much. She needs to lose the hat, bag, and the busy boots.

I must see the Color Purple.

I guess Queer will be Tom’s next victim…who knew…and is she getting BIGGER…I see her trainer doesn’t have an affect on her weight…I guess Jenny Craig will since that’s where the money will be.

That Gayle stays closer to Oprah then Stedman…are they even still bf/gf?

The film sounds okay actually. Lord knows my broke ass needs to rob a bank or three. And why am I NOT surprised that Fantasia is absent at yet another Color Purple event?

to GEM

Chaka Khan will play “Sofia’ at all evening performances. Lakisha Jones will play ‘Sofia’ at matinees, and ‘Church Soloist’ at evening performances…..

Fantasia is no longer in the play, I got to see her opening night she was good, but i dont think she was used to the Broadway scene, they sent me a card in the mail introducing BeeBe, Chaka and Lakisha with a discount to see the show again…. i’m going to check it out

1. Mary straight killed it, her boots are insane!!

2. @ Get Me Bodied, I think Katie’s beginning to look like Tom too, it’s getting scary lol.

3. Oprah’s cheesing so hard it’s making MY face hurt, and Gayle has always had a touch of “offness” about her. I don’t know what it is…

45.

is that lakisha from american idol?

46.

The Queen needs to stay away from them two (Katie and tom Cruise) before they convert her to scientology and doom her to hell!! They trying to get all black hollywood!

Patti Labelle looks amazing. Is there spark with Gayle and Corey. I am sure she would love to rock his world although he is not getting his props for doing a dam thing in shoot um up Newark.

To #5 and #9:

Get a Clue, damn. FANTASIA’S LAST DAY WAS SUNDAY JANUARY 6TH, so what are yall talking about? SHE decided to leave then, believe me Oprah an Co wanted her to stay EVEN LONGER. She only had 24 absences in a 9 MONTH PERIOD, she said that 50 Dates mess was a LIE. And the reason Chaka & BeBe joined is because the Color Purple needs more star power since Fantasia has left, she brought in over 32 Million dollars since she joined, so the producers are looking to continue that great revenue, but unfortunately I don’t think they will. Fantasia was a gem to that production, just look at all her amazing reviews.

@48…you took the words right out of my mouth…this is totally a replay of set it off..the wack version

Why does that movie look like the white version of set off?

Queen stay away from Tom Cruise before makes you join that cult.

Nice to see new cast members of the color purple.

Why does Pattie LaBelle look like she is on her way to church?

55.

Thursday, January 10, 2008 /

Queen Latifah is doing it as usual. I love her dress. I think this movie is going to be funny, so I will def be in theaters to see it.

If Niecy Nash doesn’t take that damn flower out of her head…..I’m so sick of them flowers. YOU ARE NOT BILLIE HOLLIDAY. She also wears too much make up.

I am very very very homesick (NY)
I’ve seen Tasia in the Color Purple, but Chaka, I hope the show runs long, I must see her.
anyways, Mary i need those boots, are they a size 10?

Monique_RealTalk

Thursday, January 10, 2008 /

At first I thought of set it off when I saw the preview, but to think about it further….Set if off is way more gutter than this one. This is going to be a more of a white collar crime movie than a straight up gangster movie. I suspect this one to be more funny also. Set it off was not funny at all..it was sad.

59.

Thursday, January 10, 2008 /

Well I hope the Color Purple play will be better than the movie because I didn’t like the movie. I thought it was degrading, the women were made-up ugly, and it’s was very un-classy. SMH

love patti’s hat, that’s nice

love mary’s new album, go get it!

what’s up with queen latifah and these random movies? She need to produce better films. Think ‘Set It Off’ Tifah, something dramatic. This comedy stuff just aint right for you. You still rich though, but I need a good movie from you. Need a writer? Have CL contact me

Queen Latifah looks so uncomfortable in that dress. I wouldn’ve dressed down, like Mary.

Oh, Chaka on Broadway? I might have to take a trip to New York!

Queen Latifah is my idol man, she just GLOWS!! I am anxious to see this film, as I a fan of hers & Diane Keatons.

True Enough Mayor Corey Booker could DEFINITELY get it lol.

MJB I love you & you new album BUT that outfit to a movie premier c’mon boo, I expect the best from you!!!

I LOVE me some Patti & Chaka & I will be checking Chaka out in the Color Purple!!

I love Katie gown but she has dropped WAY too much weight lately. I think its all the criticism from the media about her weight gain after the beautiful baby Suri was born.

74.

BLACKANDMILD

Saturday, January 12, 2008 /

Oh lawd, let’s hope they allow Chaka her routine smoke break between scenes. She’s playing Sofia and that’s the heart of the show.

Sheshus Thrist help us all !!!

I love Queen Latifah and going to see this movie but do anyone get the feeling that she’s doing Set If Off 2 just with white chicks?

76.

Fyrestarrter

Saturday, January 12, 2008 /

@BLACKANDMILD, nah I really don’t feel that way. Set it off was a true DRAMA, truly heartbreaking & Mad Money is nothing like that. Its charming, has humour, & is quite witty. Set if Off while of a similar baseline really couldn’t be farther from this movie.

77.

I am really looking forward to checking out Katie’s new movie Mad Money next Friday! She looks so cute lately, and Queen Latifah is hilarious in the unofficial trailer I watched today. You can find it here: http://my.break.com/conte...iew.aspx?ContentID=430668

No matter when I see MJB she always looking great. I have to agree with you MJB has on some bangin boots. Her new album is off the chain. She has so many amazing songs like hurt again, stay down and many other hot tracks. Hot album.
