Jennifer Hudson to duet with Soweto Gospel Choir for 'Winnie' Soundtrack

Will the Soundtrack be the movie's saving grace?
I doubt it but we will see!

RCA Records confirmed today the Winnie Mandela – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack will be released on September 3 via all digital music providers. Penned by Diane Warren the soundtrack and film features “Bleed for Love” sung by J- Hud and the Soweto Gospel Choir

“When I wrote ‘Bleed for Love’ for the film Winnie Mandela, I imagined how amazing it would be when Jennifer sang it,” says Warren. “It went far beyond anything I could ever have imagined. I remember the chills I had being in the room when she was hitting some of those notes! She put her entire heart and soul into this performance. It is as if she is singing it not just as Jennifer Hudson but also as Winnie Mandela.” 

I have the outmost respect for Diane but ummm does Winnie Mandela sing? Even if she did I doubt she would sing this song considering she is very much against the movie. #FactsOnly

VIDEO: Exclusive Interview with Snopp Dogg he talks trip to SA & I teach him how to say "sabona"


The BET Hip Hop Awards announcement took place last week on the set of 106 & Park and I was on the scene to watch it all go down. Thanks to the BET/Viacom team I had exclusive access to the stage and backstage area and I was able to see how the entire show is taped and let me tell you....that whole thing is a well oiled machine. They have it down to a science, I was SUPER impressed...

While backstage I got a chance to catch up with the host of this year's awards show- the man himself big Snoop Dogg! Check out our quick chat about his trip to South Africa and his feeling about hosting the awards show!

P.S my camera man canceled on me an HOUR before I was scheduled to go to 106. I had to keep it moving and I brought my trusty handycam to film my interview. These things happen - part of making it is being able to think on your feet when crisis hits, one monkey don't stop the show :)

Check out the video and let me know what you think:

DAMN Gina! Brandy Performs To An Empty Stadium In South Africa!

Who did this my girl B-Rocka? I blame the promoters for this royal screw- up!
Word on the street is that singer Brandy was invited to South Africa at the Nelson Mandela Sport and Culture day in Johannesburg a few days and issh hit the fan in a MAJOR way!

Unbeknownst to the 34 singer she discovered a very VERY empty stadium when she hit the stage. 

According to several reports from local folk on Twitter, the stadium was SUPER empty by the time Bran Bran performed. Although some say the venue was completely empty, other folks said there were maybe 40 people in attendance. Check out the tweets below



Brandy allegedly performed just two songs and then dipped. I would probably gather that she was pissed! You can't surprise folks like that...tsk tsk poor planning!

Thoughts!?

Awwww the official royal baby pics leaked! That Prince George is a cutie, you gotta see him!

Gotta love Twitter! The Royal baby pics leaked today (they were supposed to be released tomm) and they are downright adorable! The pics were shot earlier this month in the garden of the Middletons' family home in rural Bucklebury, west of London. 
Baby George is asleep in them and he just looks all kinds of yummy! He's making me feel broody :)


Prince William sat down with CNN to gush about his bundle of joy saying "he's a little bit of a rascal, I'll put it that way. He either reminds me of my brother or me when I was younger, I'm not sure, but he's doing very well at the moment."
"He wriggles around quite a lot," he continued. "And he doesn't want to go to sleep that much, which is a little bit of a problem."
Love it!!

Haitian beauty- actress Garcelle Beauvais DISSES Gwyneth Paltrow 2 hour per day workout!


46 year old actress Garcelle Beauvais recently wrote a brilliant & thought provoking post for People Magazine that I just had to share. The mother of 3 eloquently describes the unbelievable pressure new moms in Hollywood have to lose the baby weight. The newly minted "I am Mixed" author writes:
"In my line of work, appearance matters. There’s no way around it. I show up for a job and immediately meet with the wardrobe person. Within two minutes of walking on set, I’m stripping down in front of her and maybe a couple of her assistants.
Actors have to try on clothes and be photographed in them so the director can see the selections. So every time I go to work, I feel utterly exposed. God forbid if I’ve gained five pounds — under the prying eyes of a film crew, it feels more like 30! Coupled with the fact that the camera adds 10 pounds, this can really make you insecure"
She is right! That camera does add on a ton weight! What caught my eye was when she kinda dissed fellow actress Gwyneth Paltrow's 2 hours per day workout. 
Garcelle wrote: 
" I read somewhere that Gwyneth Paltrow works out for two hours a day, but who wants to do that? Yes, she’s beautiful and she looks great, but personally, I’d rather spend that time with my kids, or go shopping, or eating or seeing friends. I’d pretty much rather spend two hours doing anything but grunting and sweating at the gym!

Sister girl has point! But of course Miss Paltrow has an army of people to help her with her baby so I doubt they are feeling neglected. What do you think? Is 2 hours at the gym too much for a Mom? I know Michelle Obama wakes up at 5 am to work out before the kids wake up, is that way to do it so the kids don't feel the absence?

What do you think?

Former RHOA Kim Zolciak is expecting twins!

Wow! She will now have 6 kids in total! Talk about a full house!

The former RHOA told E! News exclusively "I'm having twins and I couldn't be more excited. I was completely shocked. I had no idea. It was a natural conception but twins do run in the family so I guess I shouldn't have been surprised,"

How sweet! So now that the 35 year old is making it official I need her to stop doing this:

No more smoking while preggers Kim!! 

Thoughts on her announcement?

Sierra Leonean-born CNN Anchor Isha Sesay is married! Check out the pics!

How sweet!!

Sierra Leonean born journalist Isha Sesay tied the knot today to CNN staffer Leif Coorlim in Atlanta. Wearing a gorgeous Amsale gown the bride looked resplendent!  

According to PEOPLE Magazine:

Sesay, 37, is an anchor/correspondent for CNN International and newsreader forAnderson Cooper 360. She met Coorlim, 34, executive editor of The CNN Freedom Project" – a CNN-wide campaign to help end child prostitution and forced labor in the United States and around the world – in 2008 at the network where they both still work. 


"Our day exceeded my wildest dreams," Sesay tells PEOPLE. "It was magical. When I saw Leif standing at the end of the aisle, I felt as if my heart would explode. I married the man of my dreams in front of the people we care about the most. And then we partied the night away." 

Congrats to them! I like her a lot! Wonder where they will honeymoon!

Thoughts?!
