Random Thoughts Of A Wondering Mind (Lack of African American Nominees at 2011 Academy Awards)

January 26, 2011

By Ladyglen

I was just wondering if...

The casting of amateur (in regards to acting) singers in starring film roles is the reason why there is a lack of quality black actors’ presence at this year’s Academy Awards ceremony?

Now you have 50 Cent, Chris Brown, TI, being cast in roles that should have gone to Denzel and some of the younger trained black actors.

You have Beyonce, Jennifer Hudson, Alicia Keys being cast in roles that should have gone to Sanaa, Taraji, Angela, Nia and even Vivica!

But, that’s okay. I’ve got something planned for that crap!

Halle Berry is a damn fool for turning down that Aretha role because she “can’t sing.” That type of reasoning by her leads me to believe she’s more unstable than I previously thought!

Hell singers who can’t act are taking roles from real actors. It’s time for real actors who can’t sing to take back those roles from real singers who can’t act!


(*Exhale*)... That Is All!

Appeals Court Rules To Remove Rahm Emanuel Off Chicago Mayoral Ballot

January 24, 2010

By Ladyglen





By a vote of 2 - 1 the Appellate Court of Cook County has voted to remove Rahm Emanuel from the upcoming Chicago Mayoral Ballot stating:

OPINION

The petitioners, Walter P. Maksym, Jr., and Thomas L. McMahon,
filed written objections to the candidacy of the respondent, Rahm
Emanuel (the candidate), who seeks to be a candidate for Mayor of the City of Chicago in the Municipal General Election to be held on February 22, 2011. After an evidentiary hearing, the Board of
Election Commissioners of the City of Chicago (the Board) dismissed the objections and ruled that the candidate was entitled to have his name included on the ballot as a mayoral candidate. The petitioners sought judicial review in the circuit court of Cook County, which confirmed the decision of the Board. The petitioners now appeal. For the reasons that follow, we reverse the circuit court’s judgment, set aside the Board’s decision, and order that the candidate’s name be excluded (or, if necessary, removed) from the ballot for Chicago’s February 22, 2011, mayoral election.

*UPDATE IN THE JENNIFER HUDSON FAMILY MURDER CASE*

January 7, 2011
By Ladyglen


William Balfour, the only person charged in the murder of Jennifer Hudson’s family members appeared in court today for a status hearing before Judge Charles Burns. The defense informed the court that they were still conducting their own investigation and needed additional time. A continuance was granted however, the judge informed the defense that the "case is getting old" and further stated that, "if there is anything the court can do to help expedite the matter to let the court know."
