Boris Kodjoe loves his wifey!

Boris Kodjoe did an interview with Black Voices where he talked about the possibility of working with his wife Nicole Ari Parker again.

"Do you have any plans to work with your wife anytime soon?

BK: Absolutely, I love working with my wife. She’s an amazing actress. She’s really gifted. Every time I get a chance to work with her it makes me better. We have a great time together. We have a project in development that’s a romantic comedy we’re gonna do together next year. She’s doing ‘The Deep End’ right now, which is a new ABC series she’s shooting with Billy Zane. So she’s doing her thing. I’m very proud of her.

He also talked about his new movie Surrogates.

With this film, there was something I could be really involved with. We're living in a time where technology has slowly taken over, not only the human workforce but human communication. It's a dangerous prospect that interests me tremendously, because if we stop communicating, our relationships will break apart. That's a very critical aspect of trying to get family structures back and get relationships back on point. The movie is set in a time like today, where we have technology that enables us to live vicariously through a robot , or surrogate"

The movie opened this past weekend so check it.

Celeb Interviews:Goapele/Charlize Theron

Half south african/half jewish oakland based singer Goapele covers oaklands Diablo Magazine where she talks Music ,babies and writing.Love the pics.She looks amazing!

Here is a brief bio for those of u who may not know her.
"Born in Oakland in 1977, Goapele (pronounced gwah-puh-LAY, which means “to go forward” in her grandmother’s Setswana dialect) is the daughter of an exiled South African political activist father and a New York–born Jewish mother. Her parents married in Kenya, then moved to the East Bay."

On Family time she says ,
"I’ve been enjoying the family time, but after we opened the Zoo in January, I said, ‘All right. It’s on,’ “I’m ready to put out some new music.”

'This is a busy time for Goapele. In addition to working on the studio and new record, she’s a partner in a soon-to-open designer boutique, as well as a nightclub in Oakland’s booming Uptown neighborhood.'

On writing,she says "A lot of what I do is solitary. It’s me in a room, writing a song,” she says. “It’s hard to know if this will connect with an audience.”

On memories of south africa she says "A lot of my family is from South Africa, and during my childhood, there was a rich South African community in the Bay Area,”

MILK AND HONEY-GOAPELE


In other interview news ,Charlize Theron says she and her long term bf Stuart will not get married anytime soon .She said ,
""I don't want to get married because right now the institution of marriage feels very one-sided, and I want to live in a country where we all have equal rights...I have so many friends who are gay and lesbian and would so badly want to get married, and I wouldn't be able to sleep with myself."
She was also in the September Issue of VOGUE magazine where she said ,"I just know I’m going to have five boys.We’ve been together for almost nine years, so by now we’ve kind of realized that we’re going to take this journey together.”

Are Djimon and Russel beefing over the kids?+Djimon loves the Earth!

I found an interesting letter written by Russel Simmons in response to an article that was written about his kids and their relationship with djimon .So are they beefing over who the kids love more?
Check Russy's letter ,
"The Post managed to do what the others didn't…they got under my skin, found a raw nerve, hit it and actually hurt me. They reported that my beautiful daughters, after their mother's fashion show, "went straight up to Djimon Hounsou and gave him a hug, bypassing biological dad Russell.” I'm sorry but targeting my family, my kids who I love so very much and trying to suggest there is some underlying jealousy, favoritism or lack of love between my kids and I or any of that is low and extra dirty".

On Djimon ,
"Djimon is a great father and step-father for my kids. And I try to be a good father that's the reality. The NY Post tried to take an arrow to my heart and hit me where any father would feel the most pain, and at least for a moment, they succeeded. Sorry to tell the Post and the other sites that picked up this story, that there is NO story here to tell. My girls went and hugged and kissed both Djimon and myself, cris-crossing us equally at the same time. He and I are family. I even tell my lovely daughters they are lucky to have two fathers. It saddens me to know that so many people are comfortable making a living by selling pain".

Oh well,I guess its all sunshine and daisies then.So ,just wondering who would win a throwdown..russy or djimon?I have my money on Djimon.lol...

Speaking of Mr Hounsou,he was looking his dapper dark chocolaty self at the UN where he talked abt climate Change.His hubby Kimora was there and tweeted ,

"Currently @ the U-N. Involved in a discussion w/ all the heads of state incl. Barack Obama, re climate change which impacts 100’s of millions of ppl! "

Are Wale and SOL just friends?pics +video/Akon releasing MJ single?

U guys will remember the pics I posted up of Wale and Solange in Central Park having a picnic and listening 2 music?Well..even though she said on twitter that them two are just "friends"(they all say that)and even though they are "working together" music wise,we hear rumours that maybe they are getting to know each other better..or maybe they are already dating.A pic surfaced of Solange attending Wale's bday party in his Dc hometown at the PARK.Wale does not appear in the pic.
However,a video interview conducted by theybf.com with Wale may or may not tell us that they are dating.Skip to 1:30+ when he shrugs when asked about Solange and says "thats my hommie"..hmm...oh well...other rumours are that Wale got to perform at the VMA'S because of Jay Z.since he may be dating Sol,apparently she put in a good word for him 2 jay z.I dont blive that.I mean Jay doesnt organize the VMA's and Wale is pretty talented on his own so he doesnt need backing like that.

WALE AND SOLANGE DATING?

In other celeb news,and as you can see from the video ,Akon was asked about whether he got the go ahead to release MJ's single and he said he couldnt talk about it yet.I guess we'll have to wait....
