ANGELA BASSETT AND PAULA PATTON
LAST MONTH I WAS INVITED TO A SCREENING OF JUMPING THE BROOM. THIS BEAUTIFUL FILM STARS LAZ ALONSO, LORETTA DEVINE, PAULA PATTON, ANGELA BASSETTA, ROMEO MILLER, TASHA SMITH, MICHAEL EPPS, MEGAN GOOD AND A HOST OF GREAT ACTORS. THE STORY LINE FLOWED AND THE CHEMISTRY WAS NATURAL BETWEEN THE ACTORS. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT AGAIN WHEN IT COMES OUT ON MAY 6TH. I AM ALSO PLEASED AT THE ADVERTISING THAT IT'S RECEIVING AND THINK IT WILL DO WELL IN THE THEATERS.

APRIL SHOWERS

I WISH I COULD LOOK THIS KOOL WALKING IN THE RAIN. ON WEDNESDAY WE HAD A TORNADO WATCH AND WALKING HOME AFTER WORK IN THE RAIN MY OTHERWISE STURDY UMBRELLA FAILED TO SECURE ME FROM THE ELEMENTS. THE GUSTY WINDS AND RAIN DROPS FELT LIKE HUGE PELLETS FROM THE SKY MADE ME LOOK LIKE A WET SOGGY MOP. THE DARK CLOUDS ABOVE CIRCLED LIKE VULTURES AS TORRENTS OF RAIN MADE IT UNBEARABLE TO EVEN WALK. NEXT TIME I'D RATHER BE IN MY FAVORITE COZY CHAIR WATCHING THE RAIN FROM THE INSIDE.

SELAH MARLEY

Selah Marley, daughter of Fugees front woman Lauryn Hill and Bob Marley's son Rohan, is testing the modeling waters. Teen Vogue sat down with the 12-year-old who has already booked gigs for Macy's. She explained, "I was in a hotel with my dad, and I was just joking around and said, 'Oh yeah, Daddy, I want to model.' I don't know -- the camera is just fun.
"MOM LAURYN HILL AND DAD ROHAN MARLEY SON OF BOB MARLEY

She's also dabbled a bit in singing -- totally unsurprising given her family tree. Of her mom, Selah said, "I like her music. It's very truthful," and of her grandfather: "His songs are very soothing.">

BLOG-CATION

EXCUSE MY BLOG-CATION. I'VE BEEN BUSY DOING SOME SPRING CLEANING AROUND THE HOUSE. TAKING TIME OUT TO DO SOME THINGS FOR ME, HAD AN ILLNESS SO INTENSE IT PUT ME IN THE HOSPITAL. THANK GOD I'M DOING BETTER AND SLOWING FEELING LIKE MYSELF. I'VE LEARNED TO TAKE A BIT MORE TIME TO DO WHAT NEEDS DOING IN MY LIFE. I'VE REALIZED THAT I MISSED BLOGGING AND WISHED THAT I HAD MORE TIME TO DEVOTE TO BLOGGING SINCE IT MAKES ME HAPPY. SO I'M BACK TO MY HAPPY PLACE.
