FIRST LOOK: Yaya DaCosta As Whitney Houston



Yaya DaCosta of America's Next Top Model fame has the honor of playing the late Whitney Houston in a Lifetime made for television biopic directed by Angela Bassett.

Although the film just began filming Entertainment Weekly has acquired the first image of DaCosta as Houston. The photo is a recreation of Whitney's 1987 Whitney album.

“I just looked at the picture and did the pose!” - YD

Spot on, huh? Let's just hope the acting matches the visuals...

OLDIE BUT GOODIE: Angela Bassett and Tupac

I stumbled across this random photo of the late great rapper Tupac Shakur and Angela Bassett on Pinterest and just had to find out where it was from. It turns out this photo was taken at the premiere of Poetic Justice which starred Shakur and Janet Jackson but   there is no word on who the child in the photo is. And speaking of Angela Bassett...

VIDEO: Nas Performing "Daughters" + Album Release Party Pics

Image
 Nas stopped by the Late Show With David Letterman last night to perform his new single "Daughters". I love the fact that Nas performed last night in and attended his album release party last night for his new album Life Is Good in the same outfit. None of that Hollywood fake shit here. The evening looked like nothing but fun with friends in attendance such as Chef Roble, Busta Rhymes and even a cheerful Jay Z all came out to support Nas on the release of his new album which hit stores today. Have a looksee!!

Awkward Spottings...

Yesterday a few photos came out yesterday that were beyond the look and smile category. You had to look at them then ponder on them due to the subjects. Like..... Kobe and Vanessa Bryant were seen in Mykonos vacationing with their daughters. Let me first say the Bryant girls are adorable and follow that up with...anyone want any flapjacks? Kobe, go ahead and get Vanessa that mommy makeover...she may love you gain for it. Jaden Smith was spotted with a young beauty and she's not a Kardashian. She's cute...very cute. But ummmmmmmmm Jaden what you got on? Last but definitely not least, Earvin Johnson III and Lisa Raye were spotted dinning at the heavily pap populated Mr. Chow. Not only is this a rare pairing but why is EJ channeling NeNe Leakes ? From the outfit to the location this is all NeNe's steelo. Was I being polite by saying "awkward"?
