Jennifer Hudson to Play Winnie Mandela in New Film


After the still-talked-about success of Dreamgirls, actress and singer Jennifer Hudson has found her next big role: Winnie.

Hudson is set to star in a film based on the life of activist Winnie Mandela, which will be depicted from the Anne Marie du Preez Bezdrob biography Winnie Mandela: A Life.

"I was compelled and moved when I read the script," Hudson told Variety. "Winnie Mandela is a complex and extraordinary woman and I'm honored to be the actress asked to portray her. This is a powerful part of history that should be told."

Mandela's life is definitely full of complexities. The wife of South Africa's former president Nelson Mandela, Winnie is a paradoxical figure who supported a freedom fighter, and led her own activist movements, but was also convicted of fraud following a scandal involving the murder of a 14-year-old.

Winnie will be directed by Darrell J. Roodt, who's best known for his films Cry, The Beloved Country and Sarafina! --Linda Hobbs

LMAO! I am really in a silly mood right now but check it out.

In this picture Kanye and Amber have on the same Jordans. No I didn’t hear they got married but i remember back in the day when Todd (LL) was going with Simone (his wife) once he got her some Troop sneakers to match his and a dookie gold rope, it was a wrap after that.

He married her! Is Kanye and Amber next?

On 2nd thought yall know that a pair of kicks in the hood is equivalent to the chick being wifey! Don’t front, you know I’m right, C’mon Son (Ed Lover voice)!

Shock For Twins As X Factor Stage Stormed


Musician Calvin Harris was ejected from TV's X Factor studio by security guards after storming the stage during a performance by twins John and Edwards Grimes
the Electro man ran on to the set holding a pineapple on his head, mimicking the quiffs donned by the brothers.

He had been due to appear on the sister show The Xtra Factor.

An X Factor spokesman said: "Apparently Calvin is a huge John and Edward fan but it's unacceptable to storm the stage whilst an act is performing."

The Grimes twins - named Jedward - had been performing the song 'Under Pressure' when Harris ran on.

He then slapped his bottom before running off
The teenagers continued with their song, and were praised by the ITV show's judges for being so professional.

Writing on his Twitter page, Harris said: "Was just thrown out of x factor for jumping onstage during Jedward with a pineapple on my head."

He had earlier posted a photograph of a pineapple with the caption "important" on his Twitter page.

The show also saw Simon Cowell throw down the gauntlet to Sting after The Police star claimed the reality TV show had "put music back decades".

Elvis hair strand sold for £1,055


A strand of hair from Elvis Presley, saved by his personal barber, has raised £1,055 at auction.

Homer Gill Gilleland toured with Elvis for more than 20 years. He dyed the singer's hair black and then cut it, saving strands in a towel.

Friends of Mr Gilleland said he would then bundle up the towel, with hair inside, and take it home in a bag.

The piece of hair had been expected to fetch up to £250 at Saturday's auction in Devizes, Wiltshire.

After Elvis's death in 1977, Mr Gilleland is said to have started selling strands of the hair in a souvenir shop on the street opposite the singer's home Graceland in Memphis in the US.

The strand which was auctioned was given to Thomas B Morgan Jnr in 2002 by the barber. Mr Morgan worked in the Sheriff's Office of Shelby County and knew Elvis.

The hair, which comes with a certificate of authenticity, is mounted in a frame alongside a photograph of Elvis.

It was auctioned at Henry Aldridge and Son in Devizes.

In November 2002, a strand of Elvis's hair sold for 115,000 US dollars (about £70,000) in an internet auction.
