I really like Zoe, I think she can do it well!
Sadly…My Life is so lonely .how about you?I am a rich and single man at present .I need a woman who can love me back .I also uploaded my hot photos on –Millionairetag.com –under the name of jeff1098..It’s the largest and best club for seeking CEOs, pro athletes, doctors, lawyers, investors, entrepreneurs, beauty queens, fitness models, and Hollywood celebrities.Please Check it out!I’m serious.setrw
Zoe Saldana is always eager to claim that she is not “black”. I guess when money is talking she can be as “black” as Whoopi Goldberg’s gums and the back of Rick Ross’s neck lol. The clip of Chad Johnson getting cut by the Dolphins was pitiful. The man looked finished lol. All that over a d@mn female smdh (Proverbs 31:3 “Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.”).
Yes! I can’t stand these part time Negroes like Zoe.
This irritates me so much. For the 100th time people, Zoe is of African decent, yes. However she is not black. She is Puerto Rican and Dominican. I’m sick of African Americans always getting upset when Spanish people don’t say they are black. Do you want her to stop listening to salsa? Stop speaking Spanish? Stop eating eating Spanish food? Leave her alone. Do I think she was a wise choice to pick to play Nina? No. However, I am sick to death of Black people telling me and other Puerto Rican’s that we need to say we are black. Let us claim our culture. We don’t challenge yours.
“I’m sick of African Americans always getting upset when Spanish people don’t say they are black.”
@LESLIE: You call African Americans Black, but not Puerto Ricans of African extraction? Do you have any idea how stupid you sound? You’re Spanish? In what part of Puerto Rico is Spain located?.
@ LESLIE
“Black” is not a culture, and neither is “Puerto Rican” or “Dominican”. Tribalism is not the point of my comment, but since you brought it up, I wonder what you would say if they had a black American man playing Roberto Clemente in a movie about his life? On top of that, if he went out of his way in interviews to say “I’m not Puerto Rican”. I wonder how you and other so-called “Puerto Ricans” would respond lol. I bet not well at all, as a matter of fact, I’d put everything on it lol. “Puerto Ricans”, “Dominicans”, “Black Americans”, “Haitians”, West Indians” etc. operate via strawman titles (which those titles are) and embrace SLAVE CULTURE as real culture. We’re all in that predicament so spare me please. Zoe Saldana is a CAPITALIST, who is CAPITALIZING off of the roles being offered her to portray a “race” that she distances herself from in real life. There’s nothing wrong with that from a capitalist’s perspective, but it is pretty similiar to some of the blackface. I’m only highlighting what she’s doing, because it’s plain.
@ ZULU
You semi-beat me to it lol. I’m not really even going to go into that aspect of it, but so-called “hispanics” really believe that they are “Spanish”, as in caucasian Europeans that speak that language. Like I said though, they’re not any worse than “black Caribbeans” that claim modern day Britain or “black Americans” that are “patriotic Americans”. We’re all inheritors of slave culture as real culture.
Zoe is not Black her parents are Dominican and Puerto Rican so what if she is not black.
@Just “Zoe is not Black her parents are Dominican and Puerto Rican”<— "Black" refers to race. "Dominican" and "Puerto Rican" are nationalities. Because of how widespread slavery was (YES, believe it or not, slavery wasnt only in a one-square-mile area of South Carolina), there are blacks in Puerto Rico, Cuba, and on most other Caribbean Islands you dont necessarily associate with being "black". Oh, not to shock you, but there are white Africans too. The actress, Charlize Theron is African…in fact, I think she's now an American citizen, which makes her African-America. Jeez, the American school system has failed us.
Judah, can you PLEASE explain the difference between RACE and NATIONALITY/CULTURAL BACKGROUND? I dont understand what’s so hard about recognizing that “Black” isnt a nationality, and that one can be black but Mexican, for example. People need to read.
This is all white america not wanting to put an actual dark women in the movie. Anything to keep us out so they would go get a Puerto Rican or dominican whatever the hell she is to play the role knowing damn well that she doesn’t fit and that’s just being real. Nothing about her says Nina Simone and the industry knows this. They could have gotten multiple women to play this role. I’m sorry to me this was a ridiculous choice. She wants to black sometimes and where I’m from they don’t even want to be puerto rican. They want to be white and are very disloyal to their own people and from what I’ve experienced probably the most racist people that I’ve seen. Especially towards black people.
@ NEIL
Your “race” and your “nationality” are the same thing, if you understand what those words actually mean as opposed to what the new definitions of those words are. They both denote your SEEDLINE, meaning your origin through your FATHER. “RACE” comes from the word “RAZA”, meaning “SEED” i.e. “$PERM”. “NATION” comes from the word “NATIONEM”, meaning “BIRTH, KINDRED, SPECIES”, etc. You must look up the etymology of words to know what they actually mean, so that you know how to use them in their proper context instead of the corrupted modern day context. “Black” is not a “race”, it is a color. The caucasian changed the meaning of the words “race” and “nation”, and also changed the categorization of the races and nations when they came into power in the 1700′s. That’s why I stated, when these people (particularly these bitter black women) start talking about how this female “Evelyn” is a “PR”, they don’t know what they’re talking about (as usual). In MODERN DAY definitions, you’re “nationality” is where you have CITIZENSHIP. That premise came from the Babylonians and Egyptians and was perfected by the Romans, who’s society is reborn in this current society. A “black” person born in “China” is not “Chinese” lol. He/she is a CHINESE CITIZEN. As basic as that is, that will go over some people’s heads unfortunately. Your CULTURE is pertaining to how you were raised and what customs were part of your nation and race of people (in the real sense of the words). This is why I’ve said, “black” people have no culture other than slave culture, unless they know where they’re actually from. That is how one knows that this society is modern day Babylon, because the word “Babylon” means “confusion”, and that is what the people in this society are.
@ JUDAH! I agree!
I won’t be seeing this movie………
Thanks, Judah; makes a lot of sense. Dead @ “a black person born in China isnt Chinese” lol
Zoey has ALWAYS said she was Black. What are you fools on? A Dominican called her morena and she CORRECTED him and said “No, I’m Black.”
Yes, and Fantasia Barrino is in talks to play Princess Diana.
Just in: Cassie is negotiating a deal to play Harriet Tubman in a mini-series. Smh…lets be real, people.
lol! and Gabby Sidibe is slated to play Janis Joplin in a new bio pic
Y’all killed me…. ya killed me!!!!!
I hope she doesn’t get the part purely because she doesn’t fit. I feel that Hollywood wants to erase our black features and tone and try to westernise everything we do. In what way do they look like each other? And i never heard that Zoe can sing. They need to go back to the drawing board or find some fresh talent. I remember hearing that Rihanna was playing Whitney…. KMT
Lmao! Point well taken…..hispanics feel the same way about Jessica Alba….there’s limited roles for women of color so they’re willing to portray any race of women.
Oprah is in talks to playing Marilyn Monroe in a new documentary
Now doesn’t that sound stupid? Case Closed
I’m hoping this doesn’t happen…Zoe playing the soulful Nina Simone is the worst casting I’ve heard of in a long time. I think it’s disrespectful to what Nina stood for. This is not the role for Zoe. I love Nina Simone and there’s no way I’d support this movie with Zoe as Nina, absolutely no way!!!!
Hell no! Zoe is a terrible choice for this role! Everyone knows that part of Nina Simone’s struggle was her looks. Zoe doesn’t fit the mold. Hell I would rather see Macy Gray play Nina!
terrible terrible and mo’terrible
It is no secret that most Dominicans deny their African ancestry. Yes,I have curly hair, brown skin, and Dominican roots. However; my ancester are from Africa,unlike some of my family members and other Dominicans that claims to be “Indio.” I guess she can claim that percentage of her African heritage, as long as it makes her money. Being a latino is something that I am not ashamed of,so why shoud I be delusion about claiming my African ancestry…at the end of the day I am Blatino! Zoe’s mother looks more on the “white” Puerto Rican side, so maybe that is why she does not claim to be black. Most Dominicans have African ancestry, due to the slave trade, so let’s be real.
But Zoe has never denied what she is. She does claim that she is “black”. In the Latina magazine issue back in 2006, she called herself a black woman (this can also be googled). “Blatino” though?? LOLL!!
Nope.
Out of alllllllll the *BLACK* actresses they could choose from..Zoe? Ugh wtf..thats insulting.
Poor Chad..buahahaa
I never liked TP plays anyway.
Black Hispanics are not Spanish they were the slaves of the Spanish…Spanish people are white like Penelope Cruz. Zoe doesn’t have the Latina phenotype of light skin, straight hair and small noses that’s why the Colombians got upset when she was cast as a Colombian women for that movie but they didn’t object when the little light skinned girls was used to play her a a child. Zoe has African phenotype nothing Spanis about her at all but last name from slavery. Same as Fantasia Barrino. As for Jessica Alba she is part Danish all of the more successful Latina actresses have to be part white. Zoe looks like any other black girl with permed hair.
Zoe isn’t a good looking woman herself and in the picture above she is wearing a lot of makeup whereas Nina Simone never wore makeup. Zoe is just an average looking black girl who is the it girl in Hollywood right now. You know hoe racist they are they can only have one at a time. For Latinas Hollywood goes to the Selena Gomez types for Black they go to Zoe. Zoe has struggled with her looks as well because her last name doesn’t fit the mode the world expects.
Zoe looks NOTHING like Nina……NOTHING; find someone else.
Agreed. There are plenty of African American actresses out there who are hungry and can do the part justice.
Take off Zoe’s makeup and she is as masculine looking as Nina.
I agree! Remove her make up and unperm her hair and you will discover that she looks a lot more like Nina Simone than Zoe Kravitz does. I never thought Zoe Saldana was pretty she has an old harse face. Zoe Kravitz is far better looking.
as Frances answered I didnt know that anyone can make $7819 in a few weeks on the computer. have you seen this site link (Click on menu Home more information) http://goo.gl/QKdp2
It would be nice to see Zoe graciously bow out of this one.
I am with you 110%. I would respect her a great deal for doing so.
I was just listening to the Fugees!
“So while you’re imitating Al Capone, I’ll be Nina Simone
And defecating on your microphone!”
Zoe is not Latina! Selena Gomez, Shakira and Salma are Latinas Zoe does not fit the type for Latina I don’t care where she is from.
Idiot racist ^
Salma Hayek is actually of so-called “Arab” stock through her father.
Selena Gomez is half white/half mexican, Shakira and Salma are both half lebanese half latin. Zoe Saldana should not be playing this role. It’s a slap in the faces of all of these talented dark skinned actresses. Where’s the integrity?
Nicki Micheaux (Lncoln Heights) would be perfect for the role. The girl from that movie Pariah could play the younger version of Nina.
Hollywood just wants a safe “negro” with a fan base to bring people into the theatre. I’m surprised if it wasn’t offered to the usual go to black actreses(Beyonce, Halle Berry, Thandie Newton, Kerry Washington. This is 2012. Hollywood needs to wake up and take changes.
Race, race always race. Same stuff from you crabs in a bucket.
What does the word “race” mean? You probably know a lot about crabs…..
Two words…Viola Davis. Great actress. I believe she can give depth to Nina. I believe Nina was a powerful activist for her times and Viola can deliver that power. I don’t feel power from Zoe. Her looks and background are 2nd to her believability as Nina Simone to me. Also, Nina was deep and soulful writer…I don’t get that Zoe has had a deep thought. Viola is a mature seasoned woman and that can be brought to the role.
Yessss Viola Davis all day!!
My 2nd choice is Lauryn Hill.
Zoe = catalina…lol But not nina simone omg are they serious there is absolutely NO ZERO RESEMBLENCE. what so ever…smdh. hell naw to the madness.
Zoe Saldana as Nina Simone will be a EPIC FAIL. Nina Simone was African American, NOT DOMINICAN!
First off Zoe is Black. When clueless people think of black they think it means just African American.
A. Blacks can be dominican, ect.
B. Selena Gomez is half white?
C. I will not begin to explain how I feel being called African American.
Bottom line wrong casting. Anika Noni Rose, Viola Davis, ect. Her and the rest of black latinos have their documentaries saying their not African American but are quick to take our roles.
I am well aware that other racists have African descent. However, it is offensive to African Americans & the family of the late Nina Simone to have a woman of another culture portray this amazing individual. It is down right desrespectful! I feel sorry for anyone that does not know that blacks more than African Americans
Eveleyn is greedy and she only married Chad for the fame. I think that all these femeales with these reality shows needs to take a good look at Hollowood ex-wives. These ladies are what you call ladies and should be on television. Those others are want-to-be’s.
Chad is not a victim,he played the game… This bama was excited to have a PR on his arm,knowing good and well if he didn’t have dough,it would be a no go.. He knew what he was getting into..
@Indigo. Exactly!!!! didn’t want a black woman so you got her and now look. PR are turning your ass in everytime. Believe it. I don’t feel sorry for him one bit even though I feel Evelyn was sent for Chad.
So the females that got Tupac and Mike Tyson locked up for r@pe…..were they “black” or were they “Puerto Rican” lol? The female that poisoned Khalid Muhammad……was she “black” or was she “Puerto Rican”? You “black” women don’t even know what a “race” or “nationality” is, but you want to bring division based on where someone is from, not even knowing what or who the he!l you are or where you come from lol. Chad certainly was not a “victim”. He’s an effeminate-minded moron, and he made himself an eventual victim the day he signed that strawman marriage contract. This female “Evelyn” being so-called “Puerto Rican” has nothing to do with the issue because she is actually the same “race” as so-called “black American” womEn…..furthermore, attention to detail shows us that all females in this society are bugged out. When you sisters rant about “Latino”, “Hispanic”, “Puerto Rican” women dealing with “black” men, etc., all you show is how proud, lonely, and UNINFORMED you are. Let me also say, you don’t need to be rich to get a “Puerto Rican” woman lmao. Here in NYC, you see cats with so-called “hispanic” chics all the time.
@Judah You say all of that to say what? Remember,we can’t comprehend anything you say..lol
Who say being PR had anything to do with it? I know I didn’t.. I said “This bama was excited to have a PR on his arm”… He said it himself.. Where he grew up,he wasn’t use to being around women that looked like Evelyn..But now that he is a professional athlete,he has his pick of the liter. I’m from NYC,born and raised…so to see a black man with a PR woman is nothing new. Check your ego bro..
*said
@ INDIGO
“Ego” and information are two different things. Too early in the morning for ad hominem attacks lol. I’m only interested in knowledge. What you can comprehend is on you. You stated that Chad only got a “Puerto Rican” woman because he had money. That’s what YOU said, and you implied that he got what he deserved for seeking out a “Puerto Rican” woman. If seeing a black man with a Puerto Rican female is nothing new, why did you imply that Chad needed to have money to get one, which itself implies that he doesn’t need money to get a “black” woman?
@Judah… He needs money to get Evelyn. Is that clear enough for you??
My comment wasn’t made to enlighten anyone.. I’m typing a little of what’s on my mind, on the subject. It’s not that serious. I can careless about Chad and Evelyn.
@ INDIGO
Pretty clear, but it’s still a little cloudy. Does he need money to get Evelyn because she is a Puerto Rican, or does he need money to get her because she loves money?
@Judah. If you wanted to show me love, all you had to say was,,,Good Mornting.
@ INDIGO
Good mornting
lol
Good Mornting to you too Mr. Judah. Have a great weekend bro!
And Chad better have money for these Puerto Rican chicks! LOL J/K
Nina Simone Should Be Played By Adepero Oduye… THE END!
YES!!!!!!!!!
Ooh! Good idea! I concur!
I am well aware that other racists have African descent. However, it is offensive to African Americans & the family of the late Nina Simone to have a woman of another culture portray this amazing individual. It is down right desrespectful!
Nine Simone should be played by India Aria. Case Closed. (added by Mobile using Mippin)
Theres an idea was intended for Sugar
Viola Davis would be a great pick for the role. I am not much of a fan of Zoe’s acting so I could be a bit bias. But honestly, the girl does not even capture the physical appearance of Nina. I do not think this pick is at all a good idea.
theres an idea!
dont think this a role for Viola, I think and actual singer/musician should play the part. But it sure as hell isn’t a role that Zoe should even be considering
Nine Simple should be portrayed by India Arie, Case Closed. (added by Mobile using Mippin)
Why not get Fantasia to play her because it would be refreshin and new or Viola. Evelyn was on a mission I agree these men need to read proverbs and they want get caught up
Fantashia or what about Jennifer Hudson
Not for nothing.. Zoe does favor her. All they have to do is darken her a little and add a little more meat to her nose. In these pics posted side by side,I can see it. But I thought they were gonna have Heather Headley play the part. Zoe’s the “It girl” now…
ZOE doesn’t favor her at all the closes thing would be Lauryn or Heather but certainly not ZOE.
Zoe is clearly got one hell of an Agent and she’s sleeping with the right people.
VIOLA DAVIS- ELISE NEAL
COMEONE YT MEDIA–A LWAYS NMESSING SOMETHING UP.
Nicki Micheaux from Lincoln Heights for the role. India Arie would be good too if she can act.\
Zoe to play Nina Simone? Really?!? Are you kidding me? Zoe to play the High Priestess of Soul? They were better off giving that role to Lauryn Hill. Lauryn would be the most fitting female anything entertainment to give that role justice.
I love “Sinnerman,” by Nina. It’s a dark ass song though.
Even if Zoe shaved her head, she wlll never look like Nina Simone. And she’s not the type of actress that I would picture in this type of role, anyway. They might as well pick Brad Pitt. (I’m sure they probably considered him, too.)
