Biopic of Aretha Franklin With Singer/Actress Jennifer Hudson

Biopic of Aretha Franklin With Singer Actress Jennifer Hudson

Jennifer Hudson has had us emotionally charged in a good way for years whether she is on the big screen or during her fantastic live performances. Who can forget her amazing talents seen in the musical film Dreamgirls? Moreover, her chillingly touching tribute to Whitney Houston singing I Will Always Love You left one and all in a fog of entertainment bliss and adoration. It is clear… Jennifer Hudson has the gift of moving us through her use of music.

Nevertheless, it seems that the Oscar winner might once again engage in yet another musical project. This time it is in order to portray the legend herself, The Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin! We are hoping that Hudson gets the role nod because she definitely has the chops to pull off Franklin’s one of a kind voice. Really, what other singer than Jennifer Hudson could effortlessly belt out R-E-S-P-E-C-T?

Biopic of Aretha Franklin With Singer Actress Jennifer Hudson2

If given the role, could this mean another Academy Award for Jennifer? There is a very good chance because biopics on the famous tend to garnish much attention during award season. Think Will Smith in Ali, Angela Bassett in What’s Love Got to Do with It, Denzel Washington in Malcolm X and Jamie Fox in Ray. This is exciting news and we can’t wait to see the finished Aretha Franklin project on the big screen.

Look of the Week: Keke Palmer in Giulietta Resort 2016

Look of the Week Keke Palmer in Giulietta Resort 2016-2

Miss Palmer killed it a few weeks back when she attended Comic Con and several network parties. Therefore, it is no surprise that she would continue to slay as she attended yet another all-star event. For the  2015 Teen Choice Awards Keke stunned all in a design from Giulietta Resort 2016.

The color scheme as well as geometric design of the gown make this dress one fun, flirty little number. Moreover, the strappy shoes harmonized with the dresses straps perfectly. In the accessory department we also loved Keke’s tattoo choker. These were so cool to wear as a kid so we are so glad that they are back in vogue!

Look of the Week Keke Palmer in Giulietta Resort 2016

Beauty Notes: Keke demonstrates how to balance makeup so as not to look slightly clownish. Since she chose to rock with a rather strong eye makeup look, Palmer then kept the rest of her makeup simple incorporating a nude lip.

Teen Choice Awards 2015 Zendaya Coleman’s Long Hair Braid

Teen Choice Awards 2015 Zendaya Coleman's Long Hair Braid3

Two ladies who rocked some braids stood out to us during the Teen Choice Awards. Those being the stylish as well as stunning Zendaya Coleman and the always beautiful Yari Shahidi. We will get to Yari in an upcoming post, but for now let’s talk some hair when it comes to Zendaya!

At first glance you may think okay, she is wearing a high tiny bun or chignon. However, then homegirl flips around and you realize the big surprise is in the back. A LONG, skinny braid that is dramatic yet very playful.

Teen Choice Awards 2015 Zendaya Coleman's Long Hair Braid

Several, girls in office said Coleman was giving us some serious Sasha Fierce vibes. Nevertheless, Bey normally will rock a much thicker braid so we want to give Zendaya credit where credit is due. The long braid was chicly fantastic and creative. Since her hair was pulled back her ensemble including the ruffle detailing (Ashi Studio Fall 2015) was able to receive more focus. If you are ever wearing an outfit that has some intricate details it is best to wear your hair in a simple fashion otherwise the two will be competing for attention.
