I bet he's under orders from my soror to look more rugged and masculine. The first thing that went was the hurr. Now, the clothes, although what he was wearing to the theah-tuh was inappropriate, IMO.

@ Steeltrap & Kiml22......Hmmph, who knows perhaps by the end of the year he'll be lifting weights and have the ability to lay underneath a car with a wrench and do his own oil changes like the rest of the men in the world.....

Alfre Woodard is joining the cast of "Desperate Houswives" as one of the newest denizens of Wisteria Lane, the first black woman to be a regular cast member.

"It's great to be breaking the color barrier, but we're all such fans of her," says co-executive producer Kevin Murphy. "She's one of the best actresses of her generation and to have her on the show is an incredible honor."

"Desperate" sources say Woodard will play a deeply religious, overbearing single mother who moves to Wisteria Lane after her son gets involved in an bad situation with a girl in their old neighborhood.

"Like all the rest of our woman," says Murphy, "there's going to be much more to her than initially meets the eye."

Woodard has a personal story very much like the some of the other, older female stars on "Desperate."

I hope they get Alfre some "good" hair.

I'm alll for adding a black woman to the cast, but why they have to be so sterotypical:

1. deeply religious
2. single mom
3. overbearing black woman
4. son gets in a bad situation in the old neighborhood (I just hope it wasn't the "hood" )

I know everyone on Wisteria lane has issues, but dang....Or am I being the sensitive black woman??

FOXY PLEADS NOT GUILTY TO NAIL ASSAULT: Rapper said she didn't get her promised pedicure.
April 13, 2005



*All she wanted to do was get a manicure and her toes did. Instead, rapper Foxy Brown ended up in a street fight with two workers at the nail salon, and on Monday appeared in Manhattan Criminal Court to answer to misdemeanor assault and attempted assault charges over the August incident.


"I got the pedicure, but they didn't give me the manicure," she said outside of court after pleading not guilty to both charges.


Foxy, whose real name is Inga Marchand, said she was a frequent customer of Bloomie Nails, located on West 23rd Street near Eighth Avenue. The rapper said she had asked for a manicure and a pedicure when the salon was about to close, but only received the pedie.


The drama started when Foxy tried to leave. Employees locked the door to prevent her from leaving without paying. Foxy said they were demanding payment for both services when she only received one. Fist-a-cuffs ensued, during which prosecutors claim Inga kicked and hit a manager, Sun Ji Song, causing "bruising and swelling to the face, as well as substantial pain."

Prosecutors said the salon's employees ran out to Foxy's car and stood in front of it to block her. At one point, they said, the artist hit one of the workers with a cellphone.


"Eventually, with all the screaming going on, they released her," said Joseph Tacopina, Foxy's lawyer, adding that his client never hit any of the workers directly on the face, but said an altercation had taken place. He said that the employees are trying to take advantage of Foxy's wealth and fame, and that his client had a receipt showing that she had paid for the pedicure.


Arriving to court in a white Land Rover and dressed in Dolce & Gabbana, Foxy said after the proceedings: "I've overcome adversity my entire life. I'm trying not to be deterred by any negativity."

She then joked about her toes being worth more than the price of the service.


"A $20 pedicure? Are you serious? I mean, look at me!" she said.

I wonder if Steadman was in the "posse of male friends" bunch.....

A little boy. Supposedly, though, the baby's father, Harlem restauranteur Jimmy Rodriguez, is married.
