DAMN IT! 2ND

spike lee knows talent well. you can call that man every name under the sun; but two things that can never fall out of your mouth, are that he doesnt know talent, and that he aint a good director.

Good. Glad for Kerry, because Naomi Campbell can’t act. She only knows how to hit.

i love Kerry Wahington. Not a lotta beutiful brown sisters gettin work nowadays but Kerry’s been pushing her way thru. And i love Gabbi but i think when it comes to real dramatic roles, Kerry’s got her beat. But i still love Gabbi too.

Namio Campbell acting? Thats a good one. She should stick to modeling…..she is decent at that. Kinda old, but decent. I just dont think the girl is attractive AT ALL!!!! How and the hell is she even a model? Weird……..

It seems that she is interested in dating lesbian woman online. I am not sure weather it is true, but someone saw her on “www.femmate.com”

I agree with BostonBitty. Kerry is a true actress. Whatever role she plays, she’s believable whether is drama or comedy.

She looks pretty.. Amazing…I saw she had a personal blog on INTERRACIALCHATTING.com with her hot pictures and blogs, a

private site for diversely ethnic singles. The blog is updated very often. I think it may be ture.

Yeah Yeah Yeah…Whatever…You guys ever noticed Spike Lee recycles actors he uses in his movies, hes real Bias when it comes to that…I think she got the role more for That Lesbian Movie she did with him, rather than her “talent”….Someone name me a good movie she was in??…

I know the “crybaby” comment was in reference to Gabriel Union, and thats not a fair statement.. There is notthing crybaby-ish about wondering why its so easy for blacks to turn on and put down other blacks.. Blacks always want to talk about other groups holding them down or bashing/discriminating against them all the while forgetting how frequently and easily we will do it to ourselves.. We have, sadly, become our own worse enemies and fears…

So she’s not a crybaby for questioning the level of jealousy and self hate among the black race…

I think its a very legit question..

So I guess I’m a crybaby too now.. Boo hoo hoo!!!

LOL – So Kerry’s your “girl” now?? Why?? because she broke up with her white boyfriend?? It seem like while she was with him you hatin ass black men who run this board couldn’t stand her..

Well suprise – she’s with another one!!

SMDH!!!

her lollipop syndrome is getting out of hand..eat some damn food!

hah talent by being hoochies dats how you get roles in movies, whether white mexican black asian etc… thus what talent is needed to portray what i’m seeing more and more today is “basic instinct”

Thats wasup kerry is a good actress

i think spike just didnt want to interrupt the “cry babies” very busy and demanding schedule with having to be seen at every damn club in the hollywood or adjacent areas

I can’t stand this chick but she is a good actress. So with that said, congrats to her.

Kerry was so good in ‘The Last King of Scotland’. I look forward to seeing more of her work.

@ SMDH

Kerry got a new swirl? who? I dont blame her one bit!!

I agree, Kerry Washington is a good actress. But I’m going to have to say, that picture looks like Amy Winhouse meets Star Trek (see if ya’ll can figure out why, LOL)!

kerry washington

did she have her lips done

they look so abnormal

i dont think she is a beauty at all

her lips jus

Meh…I mean I like her and all I’d prefer to watch her then Gabrielle Union!

my bad, *Winehouse

If Gabby wants to be taken seriously she shouldn’t say things like when you work w/a Black director they know how to fix your edges or know about weave, etc. We get it, but did she have to say that in an interview? I guess her main concern is her hair.

…maybe she should grow some hair, keep some brown or Pre-Con gel w/a toothbrush in her purse & take some acting classes so she can stop playing the same smirking chick in every movie. I think she dug her own ditch.

her lips just doesnt goes with her face

SHE LOOKS NICE.HER ROLE IN THE LAST KING OF SCOTLAND WAS GOOD”.

LINDSEY LOHAN FACE IS SO ABNORMAL LOOKING

@i am so pretty

yawn, blab,

Lawd hammercy that woman is beautiful!

She was also good in Ray.

@V…lol, so true!

natural replacement, kerry is a good actress

Drizzle, have you ever seen Ray? Kerry was really good in that movie.

WHY SHE ALWAYS HAS TO LOOK LIKE HER TONGUE IS TOO BIG FOR HER MOUTH???

@ LINDSEY LOHAN,PLEASE STOP,ITS NOT VERY BECOMING…LOL

P.S. NAOMI ACTS? WHAT DID SHE PLAY IN BESIDES THE VIDEO “KEEP IT IN THE CLOSET” ?

@ i am so pretty

like is said be4

yawn blab, move on

Kerry is a very talented actress.

i love how spike STAY using the usual suspects but that’s what i would do too anyway, good for her – naomi is too busy trying to be the first lady of venezuela anyhow … i am done with spike once he uses the OTHER black group [gabrial u., morris c, vivica f, nia l, terrance h, grip of other typecast blacks]

@ Blok…

We live in a critical microsopic society. One day you’re liked – one day you’re not. One day everybody thinks you’re pretty – next day you’re ugly. One day gold – one day garbage.

… good for Kerry, she gets her wig game done at the same spot I go to, and I hear she’s real cool.

Plus, you girl was mad funny on USA’s Psych last week… good for her changing it up a bit!

if u were even considering Naomi Campbell for a role, i’m thinking there wasnt much debt to the character

Kerry is a good actress. I wonder if she ever dated black men though, if not why? All aren’t that bad. BTW my lips are au natural for those wondering LOL. sike I think they are naturally plump. She said in Essence she struggled with an eating disorder. She is on the road to recovery. I think bulimia.

I was shocked when I read about her eating disorder…maybe it came from who she was dating.

Still, most actresses think of a 6 as being curvy or full figured (right). Eva Longoria is a 2 and is always calling herself big or saying she’s gained weight.

I wouldn’t mind seeing this movie. I like to see Kerry act. I haven’t seen the movie mentioned on this board, but I enjoyed her in “Save The Last Dance” and the movie she played in with Omar Epps (he was a boxer)…was that the name of the movie? LOL – I can’t remember. Anyway, she’s a very good actress.

@ LINDSEY,I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU THAT,THAT KIND OF BEHAVIOR IS NOT BECOMING,NOW PLEASE STOP IT..LOL

@ T-Real

Against the Ropes with Meg Ryan

It could also be the fact that they’ve worked together before (SHE HATE ME). Yep, that was her playing a lesbian.

It’s common that a director may get a muse from time to time – Woody Allen does it.

Kerry has cross-over appeal, she has marketed herself where she can appeal to a bigger market, globally, not just black folks. If these black actresses would become more marketable and presentable to the outside world, i.e. outside of inner cities, they would find work. And be respected. Will Smith said, when asked why him and not other black actors, he said, I may not be the most talented or the most handsome but it’s all about the hustle. I’m paraphrasing there. But, if these black actresses really wanted to get the part, they would hustle more, i.e. instead of dancing on tables in clubs and bars, go to power functions, meet the right people. Go back to school, for acting, go to charm school, learn social graces. Instead of having Pookie and Shaunie style you, befriend editors and designers, to get a feel on how not to look ghetto. People talk about Oprah but there is a reason why she made it and the other black show hosts didn’t. Play the GAME.

Kerry is Spike’s IT girl right now…she did his last movie so of course she gets first dibs…Naomi in a Spike movie? Get real…maybe a bit part but nothing major…and you can’t even compare Gabby to Kerry….Gabby hasn’t done anything remotely serious so she should stick to what she knows…romance comedy. And Sanaa and Nia…both better actress than Gabby but I don’t think people want to see them in a Spike Lee Joint…just don’t have the chops. It takes a certain kind of acting skill to pull off the Spike Lee ‘look’ in a movie.

Kerry has a vulnerability about her, that people can relate to. She doesn’t come across as sassy or hard. If you don’t focus on the fact that she is black ,and Julia Roberts is white, they would have the same vulnerablity that people love.

@V

Yep! That’s it. Thanks. I’m gonna have to remember that for “oldie-movie” night!

yes sir^^^^^^

yes sir to this I mean, dig

People love Kerry’s big eyes. They convey emotion and make her look vulnerable.

I love the big eyed chicks

luv her since save the lst dance…. OMG shes gorgeous

Good for her. I loved Kerry’s little stint on Psych last week. She was hilarious and she acted very well. At least I hope it was acting. I’d hate to think she’s that goofy for real.

Why on earth was Naomi considered?

Kerry is gorgeous and a great actress. Note that her talent helped two men get their Oscars (Jamie and Forest). If she was terrible, the movies would have probably been less successful. Last King of Scotland and Ray were wonderful movies. I don’t get why people bash her. Seriously, even in her crappier characters, she’s been good. I am a recent stan for Kerry, if only for her fashion sense.

P.S.: Nominated for 4 Black Reel awards. Nominated for 4 Image awards and won one for her role in Ray. Won Independent Spirit Award. Golden Satellite award for Ray. Best cast SAG for Ray.

The fact that she took the role in “Little Man” just tells me there aren’t many good roles out there for black women. To downgrade from “Ray” to that mess is similar to Thandie Newton going from “Crash” to “Norbit.” WTF?! I love Thandie but I really lost a lot of respect for her with “Norbit” as that movie is just all around bad and insulting. I didn’t see “Little Man” but I doubt that it had as much coonery.

Damn, well put!….I’m not even gonna cosign this…I’m paying the bill!

ugh, i hate the “Jetsonz” dress

I didn’t see “Little Man” but I doubt that it had as much coonery.

***************************************************** hell naw lol .. some of these actresses make a decision to do movies like that just to spice it up and show they have a versatility. thandie said she actually asked for the role because shes always the poor sad depressed girl. she was like i dont want the audience to think thats all i am and all i can be. despite the coonery norbit killed in the box office. eddie and tracy gone eat off that for a while.

her lips probably lookin odd yall because she’s wearing some sort of dental device .. when you wear those you do tend to hold your mouth a little weird. it took me a while to get adjusted to invisaligns too.

I don’t entirely agree with you. I don’t see many talented black actresses dancing on tables. I don’t see many of them looking “ghetto” either. From what you’re saying, Kerry and Thandie who have done pretty much all of the above should never have to reduce themselves to movies that feed stereotypes about black people, especially black women. Also, J Hud shouldn’t be playing Carrie Bradshaw’s sassy assistant in Sex and the City. Sanaa has gotten good roles if you look at her entire body of work and I don’t see her visibly doing what you said. She’s very well-educated which helps but so are Angela B and Kerry W. Nia Long is just breaking out of the box. Love Big Shots. Jada of all people should be the biggest black actress for all the Scientology bootlicking and industry partying she does.

“ome of these actresses make a decision to do movies like that just to spice it up and show they have a versatility. thandie said she actually asked for the role because shes always the poor sad depressed girl. she was like i dont want the audience to think thats all i am and all i can be. despite the coonery norbit killed in the box office. eddie and tracy gone eat off that for a while.”

**************

Then Thandie made an idiotic decision. Yes, it killed at the box office. What does that mean? A whole lotta people saw her a– in the most Razzie worthy movie since Gigli. Not a good career move and it sure as hell isn’t going to make her more marketable for non-horrible comedic roles.

…and her upper lip is bigger than average. There’s nothing wrong with that.

I’m taking my stan duties very seriously. LOL

what talent?

just cause your her stan don’t mean she can act.

maybe if she can convince me she’s human and not a black nicole kidman (without the acting chops), you know, plastic, cold, lifeless. and like i said before, she took blu’s role for appearing to damn near every opening including burger king around the way.

taking a models job ain’t sayin’ much, spike doesn’t have any self control when hiring female actors.

Yo I love Kerry; she’s absolutely gorgeous and is a very talented (dramatic) actress. She is very good at what she does.

kerry is the bomb. but when was the last time spike lee was relevant?

oh good got damn people! yall act like her lip is bigger than her head… she looks fine. so what she has full lips. alot of black folk do. i do for goodness sakes! she’s a pretty girl and thus far has enjoyed some successes in her acting career. contrary to what is being said about her, she is working, unlike some actresses who blame other black people for their failures instead of poor decision making. Kerry is doing her thing and im not mad at her!

Kerry is good actress this would be her second spike lee joint she was in She Hate Me. She did a good job in that movie also.

i dont think kerry is all that beautiful. great lips that 5head kills it.

i just wanna know y naomi was considered in the first place?

Kerry is a true actress. Whatever role she plays, she’s believable whether is drama or comedy. Her photos were found on an Interracial dating site named interracialloves.com last week. I am curious why she was there. Is she Interested in Interracial dating? Does she need some Interracial relationship?

click my uername and u will get into a totally different place, there find ur soulmate and night mate, be urself and get ur need!

Yea, she’s a good actress, her jacket’s shoulder swag is out of control.

Damn, she’s beautiful.. And very talented too. I agree with most comments about her acting on Ray, it was amazing.

I may also be biased because I like her a lot, but every movie I’ve watched with her, I’ve enjoyed, including She Hate Me, I Think I Love My Wife, Fantastic 4 and the sequel, Little Man, Mr. & Mrs Smith and Against The Ropes.

Not feeling the mutated shoulder pads or whatever its called…… Its a fine line between different and weird…

I really loved her in Bad Company with Chris Rock.

Well hell if she is dating lesbian women her i am . I will leave men anyday to be with her.
