With her lastest role in Columbiana as Cataleya, a smokin’ hot assassin avenging the murder of her family, Zoe Saldana posed seductively for a spread in the September issue of the gentleman’s magazine, GQ. The 33 year-old actress admitted that she’s had to remind herself that she’s not an ass kickin’ assasin in real life. In fact, the Dominican Republic-native wasn’t always a girly-girl growing up:

“[I was] a feminine tomboy. I had my plastic swords, my ninja stars—but I still wore lipstick.” [Source]

THE NEW MUSIC REVIEW (PUSHA T / GAME FT. DRAKE / NE-YO / PLEASURE P)

Pusha T feat. Kanye West & Young Jeezy – Amen (full) – listen
As Pusha T prepares to release his major debut EP, Fear of God 2: Let Us Pray, perhaps the most anticipated track has surfaced online. “Amen,” produced by Lex Luger, features his label head, Kanye West, and Southern rapper Young Jeezy. The EP is slated to hit stores on August 23rd.

Game feat. Drake – Good Girls Go Bad (full) – listen
Instead of starting beef, Game gives us a softer side on his new track, “Good Girls Go Bad,” featuring Drake. The track is lifted from his upcoming album, The R.E.D. Album, which will find its way in stores August 23rd.

Ne-Yo – She Uses Me (full) – listen
Ne-Yo takes his stab at Kelly Rowland’s #1 single, “Motivation,” with his track, “She Uses Me” from his upcoming mixtape, 101, hosted by funny man Kevin Hart. It’s interest that the self-proclaimed “gentleman” got a little raunchy on this remix.

Pleasure P – How To Fuck (full) – listen
Former Pretty Ricky member Pleasure P serves up a raunchy remix of Lil’ Wayne’s hit “How To Love,” with a more explicit interpretation. Perhaps he’s releasing new music in support of his upcoming sophomore album, Pleasure Principles, which still has no solid release date.
