Entertainment News: Nigerian Concert Leaves Fans Disappointed; Matrix Star Considered For Role On CSI; Coolio Helps Youth Understand Global Warming
July 17th, 2008Star-studded line-up in Africa runs short on stars
Music and fashion celebrities including local performers, Naomi Campbell and Tyson Beckford, were slated to appear at last week’s “ThisDay Music and Fashion Festival” to help bring attention to Nigeria’s tourism industry. But only Rihanna, Jay-Z and Usher performed at the first night of the event, despite fans having paid as much as $508 per ticket for a star-studded line-up. Mary J. Blige, Chris Brown and rapper Fat Joe appeared before the event’s conclusion.
Laurence Fishburne could join the cast of “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation”
The man who played such popular film characters as The Matrix’s Morpheus and Boyz N the Hood’s Furious Styles could soon become a TV crime investigator. Laurence Fishburne is a front-runner, along with John Malkovich, for a role on “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.” Fishburne could replace William Petersen, who’s set to leave the show this season.
Coolio helps youth understand the environment
Grammy-winning rapper Coolio has joined the Environmental Justice and Climate Change organization, helping to raise awareness of global warming among HBCU students. Teaming up with jazz saxophonist Jarez, the West Coast performer will be a part of a sustained campaign to increase stewardship in the Black community. The campaign’s focus is on recruiting a “diverse group of African American youth in the fight for climate justice,” a spokesman says.
Bring on Lawrence Fishburne!! He will bring the credits back up!
Way to go Coolio. Do you realize how many Black youth do not have a true understanding of global warming or what is really happening to the earth. Not that they don’t want to know, it is just that so much is going on in their communities that Global Warming is at the bottom of the list of importance, but should be brought to the forefront. Because in 10 or 15 years from now, the world they will have to live in will be a direct result of what they will do in their lives. So thanks Coolio for sharing your wisdom with those who did not know, you may have saved a few lives.
BUT ONLY Rihanna, Jay-Z and Usher Mary J. Blige, Chris Brown and rapper Fat Joe appeared sounds like an amazing concert to me!! It’s not like Naomi Campbell and Tyson Beckford can do any more then wave and smile.
Where’s the shortage?
I don’t understand the “ONLY” Rihanna, Jay-Z and Usher performed point of view…ONLY????? That sounds like a pretty hot show to me…
Bring on somebody else chump why cannot someone else make money????????
I agree with you adrian kelley! The TV producers only want the names of Blacks that will bring in the money. They probably don’t want to give many other Blacks the opportunity to advance. “Scared White Folks” syndrome!
Good job to both of the men Coolio, and Fishburne. Thank you I just love to here postive thing from our black men.
I think the Nigerians were short changed and could have had more acts for the amount of money they paid. They should at least get some of their money back. Did all of the acts have to come from the U.S. ? There are some really good Nigerian artist that should not have been overlooked. Maybe if Fat Joe would not have performed, they could have added G-Unit. Just a thought.
The show was big, very big, though the event managers would have mixed the appearances. We actually have good artist in Nigeria, what is missing is the exposure of their American counterparts. Great show, no drawbacks.
Can there be up-to-date information because all I see to day is of last mouth information
Big up to Nigerian music. But pls, let’s do more
may BET should try to talk about more positive things about Africa and Nigeria. We’re not as bad sa you paint us.
