MOVIE REVIEW: Selma

Last night, I had the opportunity to see Selma, which chronicled Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s leadership alongside other notable leaders and activists during the Civil Rights Movement, specifically during the march from Selma, Alabama to Montgomery. Shown in limited release starting Christmas, the movie was officially released January 9th. From watching, it's clear why this film earned four Golden Globe nominations, which airs tonight by the way (and probably soon some Oscar noms as well)!

Directed by Ava DuVernay, the film was a superb look at this important piece of not only African-American history, but American history in general. Selma stars British actor David Oyelowo as Dr. King, who truly BECAME this man, from his voice to demeanor. That, to me, is always the mark of a true actor--to be able to become a character so much so that you never really notice the actor playing him or her. British actress Carmen Ejogo played Dr. King's wife, Coretta Scott King, and portrayed Coretta's grace and strength incredibly as well.

Paula Cook Thinking About Going To Oprah

And the drama continues...I mean how could it not? With Fantasia opening up about her suicide attempt and the alleged affair with lover Antwaun Cook, of course people want to hear Paula's side. According to RadarOnline.com, Oprah herself has reached out to Paula to talk about this whole ordeal. And of course, Paula is considering it. She's also been approached by Mo'Nique for an appearance on The Mo'Nique Show, as well.

A source told the site, “There was also the chance for her to appear on a new reality show about spurned women, and she’s considering another option to write a book about the whole Fantasia saga. At the moment she is weighing up all these offers and is just taking time out to look after her sons. She has been allowing Antwaun to spend time with the boys although she is becoming more resigned to the fact that their marriage is definitely over now. Despite anything that Fantasia may say about Antwaun being separated from his wife when she started dating him, Paula firmly believes that she knowingly got involved with a married man.”

You know what, in all honesty, I know that people want to hear Paula's side, but I'm like, "Why?" Everyone already knows what it's gonna be. "Fantasia ruined my family. She has a sextape out. I can't believe this is happening. What about me?" It's going to be the same details we've been reading for weeks now. And now to me, it just seems like she's trying to make money off of it. A book AND a reality series? Come on now. Now, I'm not trying to make light out of this situation, because it definitely is heavy. However, I know that all of the blame is going to be directed at Fantasia. And all of it shouldn't be. I got more to say after the jump.

OPRAH TO END HER TALK SHOW!!!!!



Yeah you read that title right! Oprah is ending Oprah! Oprah announced earlier today (Friday) on her hit show that her upcoming season, her 25th in fact, will be her last, with the show's series finale being some time in 2011. According to OMG Yahoo!, Oprah put a lot of thought into ending the show and moving on. "25 years feels right in my bones and my spirit. It's the perfect number, the exact right time," Oprah said.
