Lopez, Affleck to Marry Next Week
 

NEW YORK (AP) - Supercouple Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are planning to marry next weekend on a hillside estate near Santa Barbara, Calif, The Daily News reported in its Wednesday editions.

Representatives for the two stars wouldn't comment on the reports.

Celebrity magazine Us Weekly reported the Sept. 14 wedding will be catered by Santa Barbara's Four Seasons Biltmore Hotel, where Lopez, 33, and Affleck, 31 recently dined.

It was unclear who will preside over the ceremony.


The 33-year-old actress-singer married dancer Chris Judd in a private ceremony in Calabasas, California, on Sept. 29, 2001, in an event garnished with 10,000 white and pastel rosebuds. The nuptials came just months after she broke off a highly publicized romance with hip-hop mogul Sean "P. Diddy" Combs. Lopez and Judd split in June 2002.

It will be Affleck's first marriage.

For her last wedding, Lopez wore a Valentino Couture off-white silk and Chantilly lace gown. this time, she's said to have turned to famed wedding gown designer Vera Wang.

Since appearing in 1990 as a "Fly Girl" dancer on the Fox variety show "In Living Color," Lopez has seen her career explode, with forays into music, film, television and - most recently - fashion.

Affleck and Lopez met on the set of film 'Gigli' and their romance spurned interest in the film, which ended up as the summer's biggest flop. Revolution Studios, which made "Gigli," and Sony Pictures, which distributed it, lost about $30 million, while real-life sweethearts Affleck and Lopez managed to remain virtually unscathed amid the movie's lousy reviews.

The two also star together in the upcoming film 'Jersey Girl.'


:eek: :eek: You would think they LEARNED from the first movie!!!!:confused:

Something to think about
 

1. Who are the 2 orgs not participating?

2. How will they/Will they patrol if MEMBERS are the ones really buying the shoes? Meaning how will they prove that an AKA is really buying the shoes?

Found this on the Velvet Rope Website:

Looks like the greenlight is on for the Tim Story-directed big-screen movie adaptation of the 1970's sitcom "Good Times". Yes, Black people, I said, "GOOD TIMES"! And every African-American actor seems to be salivating to work on this film that is looking to be a real hoot (and why not? When I heard of this project, I thought "instant hit. Every Black person in America from 20-45 grew up on this show"). As I type this, Cedric The Entertainer is inking to play Bookman. Every Wayans brother and sister wants a part of this. Angela Bassett (believe it or not) is in talk for the Esther Rolle role ("DAMN! DAMN! DAMN!"). And who has expressed fervent interest in playing the part of sexy, nosey, single neighbor Willona? None other than.. Janet Jackson (the former Penny)! The film is also supposed to have tons of cameos from A-list Black actors playing colorful hoodrats from the projects... Halle Berry, Sam Jackson, etc. And speaking of ghetto hoodrats, Whitney Houston is being courted to sing the theme song ("just looking out of the window / Watching my Afro grow" ... how serendipitous is that?


They mentioned possibly Chris Rock or Dave Chapelle for J.

Dave Chapelle should play JJ. Since Janet Jackson wants to play Wilona, I wonder who they will get to play Penny?:confused:

:confused:

How is any of our para (purchase of) monitored?

Good question. I was at an open, public street fair in SD a couple of weeks ago, and there was a vendor there with NPHC items. It was nice to have her there, but I also wondered about monitoring.
:confused:

I don't know about monitoring, but we've gotten real serious about trademark protection in recent years. Vendors may not like the new stringency, but I'm sure it's still worth it to them, cause bruhs lose our minds at conventions when it comes to buying paraphaenalia. ... Besides the para shops here (NE Ohio) are so lame, conventions represent the best buying opportunities.

I was in Denver in March for our Western regional, and even the old heads, or shall I say, senior brothers, were buying in large quantities. Just doing our part to help the economy....

TV Guide Online:

STORMY WEATHER APPROACHING: Janet Jackson has signed on to portray Lena Horne in ABC's upcoming musical-biopic on the singer-actress, Variety reports. Michael's sis is expected to record new takes on Horne's classic songs, including her signature tune "Stormy Weather." Craig Zadan and Neil Meron — the folks behind Chicago — will produce the two-hour TV-movie

The thought of trademark ran across my mind also. I'm sure the merchandise may have the 'colors' but is it something authentic. :confused: Some things are registered. I'm sure that companies are not willing to set themselves up for a lawsuit.

It was reported....
 

On the Russ Parr Morning Show that Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri broke up....word is that she broke up with him over the phone. :eek:

I dont know if you have seen it, but Brandy is in the new Jet with baby daughter Sy'rai. She (baby girl) is getting so big. She looks like her father (I mean Robert) and she is so adorable.

Q

I am not feeling that. Janet's face is scary now, she needs to eat.

I agree. I need someone CLASSIER IMO.

Plus the fact that Janet can't sing like Lena!!

1savvydiva, are you and Kyleisha o.k? LOL... it looks like your babyfavah has turned himself in.

Jagged Edge's Kyle Norman Turns Himself In
R&B singer faces charges relating to drugs, weapons found in his home.
by Joseph Patel

Jagged Edge's Kyle Norman turned himself in to the DeKalb County sheriff's office on Wednesday morning (September 3), surrendering almost a week after officers turned up an assortment of drugs, weapons and cash during a sweep of his Decatur, Georgia, home.

The R&B singer, accompanied by his attorney, reported to the county jail around 10 a.m., according to a sheriff's office spokesperson. Norman was booked and sent to wait in jail until his arraignment Wednesday evening.

Norman was not in Decatur when DeKalb authorities arrived at his home Thursday to serve him with an arrest warrant for his part in a local theft ring. ***blutang inserts here: WTF???*** Instead, police discovered a 13-pound bag of marijuana, two guns and $6,000 in cash (see "Jagged Edge Member A Wanted Man").

Seven people on the premises were arrested and were arraigned on Monday. All will face another hearing on October 24. It is not known what their specific relationship to Norman is.

Norman is expected to face an array of felony charges related to the marijuana as well as the original charge that he was the recipient of stolen property.

Question: Do you think we have a D9 member to thank for this idea?

My opinion: If they are cute, I'll buy them.

Girl...we was on the run for a coupla days, that's why I was incognito. ;) But since he's turned himself in, I think it's safe for us to return! :p

MANNNNN they will be in Columbia next weekend, they made a point to say that "JAGGED EDGE will STILL be here, even if they come without Kyle" WTF ever! :rolleyes: I loveseseses that man, he makes me wanna pull a Whitney..."ALL HAIL to the king of R & B!" LMAO
:D

:confused:

I haven't bought those other AKA shoes. There are some para items I will not purchase and shoes happens to be one of them. As a matter of fact, I don't purchase too much (para) anymore.

I agree
 

Since I am still a newbie, I still by Para, but shoes are something that I just cannot see myself buying.

Re: I agree
 

Agreed. I can't imagine a scenario in which these shoes will be cute, but even if they are it doesn't feel appropriate.

I saw this on another message board...
 

Has anyone seen the making of OutKast's new video on BET? Apparently Farnsworth Bentley (P. Diddy's "butler" I guess :confused: ) is dancing/sporting an AKA umbrella to match his Pink and Green suit? :eek: :confused:

I don't watch BET anyone so I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but has anyone else?

Did it read AKA or was it simply an umbrella that was P&G? :confused:

I know you said you didn't see it, but pose that question to who(m)ever reported it. :D

*lol*

This person claims to have seen it. He said it was the normal pink & green umbrella with the crest (in green) on the pink part and AKA spelled out.

I may have to watch BET to check it out for myself.

I saw the making of that video and it IS pink and green but i saw NO crest, words, or any letters on it at all.

BTW he looks like a dayum fool just as Outkast does

Thanks Exquist! Because he swears that what he saw and I was like "say what"? :eek:

I seen it too. I looks like it has words on it to me but you can't really tell.

Access Granted is on RIGHT NOW and it is a FULL FLEDGED Alpha Kappa Alpha umbrella. :o

ETA: Big Boi's video was HORRIBLE!!! Andre's was cool. I dig it!

Seeeeeee

why you makin me watch BET and stuh?

4-1-1 ENTERTAINMENT FOR THE WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 2ND, 2003

Singer Jaheim may want to enroll in some anger management classes. Jaheim's behavior is getting him into trouble. On three separate occasions, Jaheim has attacked interviewers who asked him if he is gay. Interviewers in Atlanta, New York and Washington D.C. have all felt the wrath of Jaheim. I have heard stories about Jaheim being on the down low, but I dismissed it because crazy rumors are always going around. However, this is making me start to think, "What's up?" Sometimes you can protest too much. If you're not gay just say, "No," and move on. Don't beat up the interviewer and tear up the studios. I have never interviewed Jaheim, but I did meet him when he was town earlier this summer. He was very nice and he put on a great show. I left the Tower Theatre really impressed with him. Jaheim's record company is going to have to deal with him. He is going to ruin his career if he doesn't control himself. Jaheim also had a run in with the officials at the Miss Black USA Pageant. Jaheim wouldn't perform because the money wasn't right. Howard Hewett and the other performers went on with the show, but Jaheim refused. Pageant officials say instead of leaving, Jaheim hung around with his manager, Pookie, flirting with the contestants. Jaheim is a very talented guy but you are only as good as your last hit. Let's hope he gets it together.

How hot is Vivica A. Fox? She is as hot as a "fox" and she looks like one. Last week at the MTV Video Awards, Vivica showed up with her new man, Rapper 50 Cent. Vivica was busting out all over the place in her skimpy outfit. A lot of people were shocked by her appearance saying she looked like a "hootchie" and 50 Cent looked like a pimp in his Versace suit. I thought she looked good, but I hope she's careful. Is Vivica pulling a Demi Moore? An older star dating much younger men seems to be the 'in thing' right now. Vivica is 39 and 50 Cents is 27. Their romance started at the BET Awards in June when he gave her a shout-out telling her how good she looked. Vivica then returned the favor on a later awards show. Last week Vivica and 50 Cent were making out in a New York restaurant. They were surrounded by seven bodyguards, but that did not stop Vivica and 50 Cent from kissing and cuddling. Vivica was caressing his arm and kissing and nibbling on his neck. Is Vivica dating the hottest rapper on the planet to enhance her career? She has a new movie Kill Bill coming out on October 10th, and she is the talk of the town with her love life. Just a few weeks ago Vivica was dating football player Danerien McCants of the Washington Redskins. Danerien was quite smitten with Vivica and many thought it would turn into a serious romance. It appears 50 Cent came in and took over, because Danerien is out the game. I wonder did she dump Danerien while he was at training camp? Vivica has been on a roll since she divorced her husband, rapper 6'9". Sources say she divorced him because he didn't have any money and she had to move on. Well Vivica has moved on. Let's hope she's careful. As 50 Cent went on to collect one award after another at the MTV Music Awards he never acknowledged Vivica in the audience. Hmmmmm? In other 50 Cent news, his bodyguards have been charged with beating up a photographer who was taking pictures of 50 Cent leaving a jeweler. 50 Cent had just purchased an $18,000 watch.

Singer Brian McKnight was on hand to sing, "Happy Birthday" to the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. Michael turned 45 last week and his fans gave him a big party in Los Angeles. Michael has a new team of advisors and sources say we are going to see a more acceptable and approachable Michael Jackson.

Beyonce has to be the hottest and sexiest singer out today. Check her out in her new video for the song "Baby Boy." Now just because she's got it going on don't look for a naked Beyonce. Beyonce refused to do a photo shoot with famed photographer David La Chappelle because he wanted her to take off her clothes and be photographed with honey being poured on her body. When Beyonce realized this is what he wanted she walked out of the photo shoot. Beyonce says everybody wants her to take off her clothes, but she was not raised like that. Beyonce's new movie with Cuba Gooding Jr., The Fighting Temptations opens in theatres on September 19th.

Martin Lawrence has signed on for the sequel of his 1990 hit Big Momma's House.

Author Terry McMillan has a new book coming out in November. Terry is the popular author of Waiting To Exhale, Disappearing Acts, How Stella Got Her Groove Back and Mama. Terry's new book is called The Interruption Of Everything. It's about a woman chasing after a former sweetheart.

What's going on between Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri? Is the romance still going strong? I hear Janet wants out of the relationship. Last week Jermaine gave Janet a party and she didn't show up. Jermaine went on to enjoy the evening with Usher, who was not with Chili, his longtime girlfriend. Usher was having a good time with the ladies. Last week Chili said Usher was still her baby and their romance was going great, but action speaks louder than words.

Smokey Robinson has a new spiritual LP coming out this week. In the meantime Smokey will be teaming up with Lionel Richie. They are narrating The Motown Story, a two CD set of 40 Motown hits, 25 of them are number 1 songs.

:eek: WHAT THE FLOOD!?!?!

AND A DUDE, NONETHELESS!!! :eek:

Ok, it makes sense now. I saw Smokey's video on TBN a few weeks ago. I stop to watch it because Smokey had a head full of dreads. :o

No WAY this movie came out when I was in 10th grade.

I also like Andre's video. I haven't seen Big Boi's yet, but I heard it was, um, off the hook.

That has to be a typo. It came out in 98 or 99 when I was teaching high school and you were dating former Mr. Loverman. I remember the story behind this movie. :o

Britney explains kiss
(9/4/03, 5 p.m. ET) -- In a truly bizarre interview pairing, pop princess Britney Spears sat down for an interview Wednesday (September 3) with CNN's conservative political pundit Tucker Carlson. Wearing what appeared to be a blonde wig with red streaks, and chomping on a piece of gum, Spears answered questions ranging from her now-infamous kiss with Madonna, to her view of the war in Iraq.


The youthful-looking Carlson, wearing his trademark bow-tie, asked Spears about the kiss with Madonna onstage last week during MTV's Music Video Awards show. Spears said, "I didn't know it was going to be that long and everything," explaining that during rehearsal Madonna had told her they'd just play it by ear during the performance. She also said that she'd never kissed a woman before, and wouldn't again--unless it's Madonna.


Carlson then steered the interview to politics, asking Spears if she'd supported the war in Iraq. Spears answered, "Honestly, I think we should just trust our president in every decision that he makes and we should just support that." She declared that she trusts President Bush, but when asked about the president's political future, Spears told Carlson that she doesn't know if he'll get re-elected.

Question for my journalist friends
 

What does it mean in the articles when they put news in parentheses after a person's name? :confused:

Re: Question for my journalist friends
 

Is this on Yahoo? Usually those are hyperlinks but when we C & P from Yahoo to GC the hyperlinks are not coded. If you were reading from Yahoo, you could click on NEWS and it would bring up all the news about that particular celeb. :)

I like Sterling Sharpe. His brother Shannon looks like a horse, but what can you do?:(

Re: Re: Question for my journalist friends
