Fantasia Lands New Movie Role

The Huffington Post reports:

Fantasia Barrino has had her problems over the past year, but unintentional weight gain is not one of them.

The “American Idol” winner has been seen with extra pounds of late, but she says it’s on purpose — she’s getting into character for a new movie, in which she’ll star as soul singer Mahalia Jackson.

“In fact, she’s just signed on to play the lead in Mahalia and has been told to gain 30 to 45 pounds for the role,” her rep confirmed.

The Euzhan Palcy directed movie begins shooting in April in Chicago and is slated for release at the year’s end. As relates to the story, the film is an adaptation of Jackson’s 1993 autobiography – ‘Got to Tell It: Mahalia Jackson, Queen of Gospel’.

Penned by James Evering, the big screen flick will chronicle the singer’s life; from her early years in poverty-lashed New Orleans to her rise to stardom. An early and avid advocate for the late, great Martin Luther King Jr, Jackson was also a major supporter of the Civil Rights Movement.

Juelz Santana Vows to Fight Drug and Weapons Charges

Fresh off his drug and weapons arrest yesterday afternoon, Juelz Santana is out on bail and already talking about the incident. The Dipset rapper called into Hot 97’s Angie Martinez to clarify his legal situation and proclaim his innocence.

The 28-year-old MC, who was arrested after two fully-loaded 9mm handguns and 17 bags of marijuana were found in his New Jersey studio, confirmed that he was just released on $125,000 bail. “I’m a free man out on bail,” said the Harlemite. “I’m just doing my regular thing, I’m still me. It’s just an unfortunate situation, got caught up.”

Santana explained that there was some janky business on the police’s behalf. “They raided my studio, said things was going on. The charges was just kind of crazy,” he told Angie. “For one, I wasn’t even in my studio when they raided. They raided my studio, they found whatever they want to say they found, and they just put a bunch of charges on me.”

When he turned himself in, he was ready to be freed on bail, but the cops alleged that the snowstorm was to blame for his delayed release. “They had a warrant out for my arrest since last week,” he continued. “I had just turned myself in and I was supposed to be out right there because he had the bail money already on standby for whatever, but once I get in there, they’re like, ‘Oh, the computers is down because of the ice storms and all that.’ I’m like, ‘Wow.’”

Maintaining his innocence, Juelz assured listeners that he wasn’t going to take this lying down. “I’m definitely going to be fighting this, because like I said, they didn’t catch me with nothing. My studio is a place where a bunch of people come in and out. They put me out as selling dime bags of weed. That’s a joke!” he exclaimed. “I wasn’t even there. Never in the case of history would you find Juelz selling no dime bags of marijuana.”

Tia Mowry Dishes On Her Pregnancy With Access Hollywood

Tia Mowry recently sat down with Acess Hollywood to discuss her pregnancy, and how millions have responded to the comeback of the hit TV show, the ‘Game’.

How are you feeling?

I actually feel great. The first trimester was insane; the nausea kind of got the best of me. I actually wear these nausea bands, they’re bands that people wear on cruise ships and stuff and they’ve been my best friend. They’re in my wardrobe now.

What do people believe you’re having?

Everybody has been saying a boy, boy, boy, boy just by the way I’ve been carrying. Nobody has said a girl, so I can’t wait to find out what’s inside?

How did you tell your husband?

We we’re actually separated at the time because he was shooting the movie “The Day” and I was shooting “The Game.” I just called him up, well actually I sent him a picture of the  pregnancy test and it said pregnant of it. He didn’t believe me, he was like no, so I took about 6 or 8 other pregnancy test and he finally was like “ok it’s a done deal.”

Will the child’s name start with a T since all your siblings name does?

No, we’re actually looking at C’s for Corey because that’s my husband’s name.

How much is Kelsey Grammar involved in with “The Game”?

Kelsey is great. He’s showed up on set several times and been apart of the casting process and all that good stuff. He’s such a great, cool, laid-back kind of guy.

On the CW canceling the show and fans campaigning to bring it back

Yeah, that’s the reason that we’re back, it’s because of our fans. They started twitter accounts, they started facebook accounts…Now the woman that actually started the facebook account has been hired by BET and that’s her job. She’s following the show, all the articles that the cast members do and we got to meet her. It’s all because of the fans, that’s the reason why we’re back. I’m still in shock. It’s unbelievable how many viewers we got in out first airing. Our second airing we kind of stayed in there, we had like six million.
