Entertainment: Gabrielle Union Working on New NBC Series; Cedric Says a Critic Slew His Play; Akon says, ‘I Am a Felon’
December 3rd, 2008Gabrielle Union is working on a new NBC series. Gabrielle Union and X-Files writer/producer Frank Spotnitz are teaming up again to develop a new series for NBC. The two worked together on the short-lived ABC series Night Stalker during the 2005-2006 TV season. They’re now working on developing a series for the Peacock, according to Variety. Spontitz will write the show and Union, best known for her role in Bring It On, will star as a detective who must race to save someone’s life before it’s too late. The project is a collaboration by Union and Spotnitz and will be produced by Universal Media Studios.
Cedric says a critic slew his play. The David Mamet play, which also starred Haley Joel Osment and John Leguizamo, opened to much hype on Nov. 17, but it closed after just eight performances. “Barbershop” star Cedric insists one reviewer in particular was responsible. The bitter star says, “We got crushed by one critic, Ben Brantley, from The New York Times. All you need is one to say bad things, and he was the only one. So, write your protest letters to Ben Brantley!” Brantley likened the revival to “a souped-up sports car’s flat tire, built for speed but going nowhere.”
Akon says, “I am a felon.” In an interview with Essence.com, melodic rap-singer Akon sheds light on his much talked about criminal past. “No, I am a real convicted felon. I’ve been locked up once and I’ve been released. I’m more mature and intelligent to find ways to stay out of trouble. Believe it or not, that’s the challenge now, I want to see how he gets out of this one. A lot of times [the press] misconstrues and misinterprets. Being in jail was my experience and what I wanted to do with my music is say that this wasn’t a situation I ever wanted to experience again.”
I never heard of the play until now but I feel I would have loved it just because of who was in it. Stay up Ced, put it on dvd it will sell.
Akon just like many other young black americans are not by far immuned to society, and how young black america are targeted, and please don’t think being a young black man our butts are not set a fier by chuckie honkies who leave the wonderful community to patrol our neighborhoods just as though we haven’t got a parents who are looking for employment other then some search engine on yahoo/google/and MSN that don’t even start in directions of a African American being independent of how whites are dosen’t need to come out to our neighborhoods we don’t need any thing except small incentive to patrol, nope we’er not working for free, but working for freedom Mr. Akon my heart is in the music made by you celebs, laughing, crying, getting mad, fliping the scrip, I’m loving it so don’t even try filling bad that this system out smarted (particularly your age group Mr. Akon) young african america in the words of Malcolm-X we did land on Pleinmath rock Pleinmath rock landed on us; so male black subject dressed one a curtain style on day, and chuckie honkies hurry up locate um to marvel about it to our children being 50 yrs. old, and still enjoying people like Akon, Ne-Yo, Mr. Chis Brown, lil Wayne, Jay-Z, Lady Beyonsae, Rehiana, just to mention a few of the great people of color who now have the power to hier lawyers, and attorney and never show their face in coures but the case dismissed, makes you think to sit down, and write lyrics, just to see how important to yourself it is lol, ant got much money to just spend time buying, or listoning sitting on my butt, but it sure fill good.
FIRST FRUITLOOPS – U HAVE MADE A PROFOUND STATEMENT UR HEART IS IN IT. BUT MY DEAR, I WOULD MAKE U SIT IN A CORNER , WHY BECAUSE OF UR SPELLING AND CONTEXT. U MAKE A MOTHER WHO WORKED HARD FOR U SADD THAT U WON’T TAKE THE TIME TO SPELL CHECK OR PROOF READ. NOW THEY ALL GOT WHERE THEY ARE BECAUSE OF EDUCATION.
MR CEDRIC, I REMEBER ONE COLD AFTERNOON IN PHILLY AT THE ALL STARS GAME AND WE WERE ALL IN THE LINE(YES HE HAD TO STAND IN LINE AS WELL) AND HE COULDN’T EVEN BE COMFORTABLE AROUND BLACK PEOPLE THAT WERE GIVING HIM HIS PROPS. IN PHILLY WE ARE A LIL MORE CONSERVATIVE WE DON’T JUST JUMP WHEN WE SEE CELEBS (WELL MIKE JORDAN, MAGIC, KING JAMES U HAVE TO HOLD ME DOWN, HE, HE) BUT I SAW HIM AS BEING SO UNCOOL. HE WAS ACTUALLY TRYING TO HIDE IN THE LINE.
PLEASE BRO CEDRIC. – WHAT GOES AROUND COMES RIGHT BACK AT U.
I lost a lot of respect for Ced when he disrespected Rosa Parks in Barber Shop. Some things are just uncalled for. But as far as Akon…if he is a ex-criminal or not, that is nothing to be proud of and Black people, etc, you need therapy when you put these types of entertainers on pedastals just because they have you shaking your butts. You complain about crime in the neighborhoods but then you idolize the criminals, while decent young black people who didn’t resort to crime are under appreciated. I feel sad for our culture/community’s lack moral authority & rampant black on black crime -don’t blame the white man for that.
WELL,WHEN DOES THE SHOW AIR CAUSE I DONT WANT TO MISS IT[[GABRIELLE UNION]]
