MARIAH as a man .......


Mariah has started filming the music video for "Obsessed," in the big apple. This is the first single off her new album, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel. Go on with your bad self! Yadacity shout out!

Day one of the shooting was on the fourth floor of The Plaza Hotel in New York City, according to our NY yadacity source!

The concept of the video is being fiercely protected yet there are reportedly "many surprises."

The "Obsessed" music video, directed by Brett Ratner, is tentatively set for release on Monday, July 13th.

SEX IN THE CITY and YADACITY


SEX IN THE CITY – AGAIN –

Half of the yadacity staff had a SEX IN THE CITY: the movie craving on Monday!

That was a great Monday! Popcorn, more popcorn and ice crème.

Two hours+ later and I still agree --- 'Carrie,' we miss you!

However, can you add more people of color: Indians, Africans, African-Americans, Indian-Americans, Koreans, and Korean-Americans. I think you get the yadacity point. Seriously, what part of New York City do you and the writers live?
We are the rainbows!

Here are the yadacity predictions for the next SEX IN THE CITY MOVIE.

Acts One: Carrie is happy with “Big,”

Charlotte is in HEAVEN with two children, three dogs and Harry; Note; the older dog dies.

Samantha has moved back to Manhattan, in a loft bigger than she can imagine, and is being courted by a Billionaire. Twist: Smith is bigger than before and still wants her!

The Red Head discovers that she is a lesbian. Steve is ok with it but not really!

Or The Ginger Gal has her “mid life” issue when Steve’s mother dies and she is attracted to a young doctor.

St. Louis comes back to New York City after a painful breakup! Still looking for love!

THIRD ACT;
St. Louis has her baby and the father steps up to the plate.

Carrie has her baby and Mr. big (there is a twist) steps up to the plate.

Brady is the “god son,” and all three women are the GOD MOTHERS!

And in the end …love leads. Love leads to New Year.

Get Ready to Lose Your Yadacity Mind - FAME -


MGM is going old school and going new school with the remake of FAME.

The official trailer is on the Web and yadacity suggests you watch it!

The new FAME, which opens in the fall, is a reinvention of the original Oscar-winning hit film. FAME follows a talented group of dancers, singers, actors and artists over four years at the New York City High School of Performing Arts, a wildly diverse, creative powerhouse where students are given a chance to live out their dreams and achieve real and lasting fame.

The cast includes Asher Book as Marco, Kristy Flores as Rosie, Paul Iacono as Neil, Paul McGill as Kevin, Naturi Naughton as Denise, Kay Panabaker as Jenny, Kherington Payne as Alice, Collins Pennie as Malik, Walter Perez as Victor and Anna Maria Perez de Tagle as Joy.

Their instructors include Allen as Principal Simms, Charles S. Dutton as Alvin Dowd, Kelsey Grammer as Joel Cranston, Megan Mullally as Fran Rowan and Bebe Neuwirth as Lynn Kraft.

FAME is a right of passage. Believe it or not, the original still holds up.

MGM will release the new FAME on September 25.

In the words of the great comic ALEX MAPA – “he lost his cotton picking mind” when he saw the original version. Get ready to lose your yadacity mind when you watch the remake of FAME!

ALL HAIL THE QUEEN



Variety spills the beans that Queen Latifah will be swapping spit and getting cozy with rapper/ actor Common in the romantic film JUST RIGHT.

The Fox Searchlight will be directed by Sanaa Hamri, whose previous films THE SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PANTS 2'with America Ferrara.

The story revolves around a sports trainer who finds herself falling in love with a professional basketball player while rehabilitating him from a career-threatening injury.

Sounds like love to yadacity!

Ross is coming - Ross is coming


Son of Ms. Ross – Evan Ross – is on a mission to show the world that he can act.

Just shy of 21, he’s racked up some impressive roles in his short career. Including playing a confused teenager opposite T.I. in ATL to being a drug addict alongside Queen Latifah in LIFE SUPPORT,

Now, he’s going to show his acting-chops IN LIFE IS HOT IN CRACKTOWN,

I think you know the subject line. In the flick riddled with drugs, sex and violence (a fun Saturday night for some) is Kerry Washington, rapper Rza, Shannyn Sossamon and Illeana Douglas.

The gritty drama is directed by Buddy Giovinazzo and is based on his novel of the same name.

WHY DID I GET MARRIED TOO?


According to Hollywood’s “touch stone” publication, Variety, Janet Jackson is the first cast member to sign on for the sequel WHY DID I GET MARRIED TOO. According to sources, she was in rehearsals, of sorts, when she heard the terrible news about her brother, Michael Jackson’s sudden death.

Also asking the big question is the yadacity fab Jill Scott, the fierce Tasha Smith and on the male side Michael Jai White, Malik Yoba, Tyler Perry and Richard T. Jones.

The first flick WHY DID I GET MARRIED? ,which was based on Perry's stage play, grossed $55 million domestically.

Yadacity knows why you got hitched. $55 million dollars darling and counting!

Bruno steals MICHAEL JACKSON's star




In a bizarre twist that not even Sacha Baron Cohen could not create and that no publicist anywhere can ever duplicate, the Thursday red carpet event for BRUNO covered up Michael Jackson’s star on the Hollywood walk of fame.

Dedicated and grieving fans found and used local radio host, Michael Jackson’s star and tears and songs followed.

Wait, there is more! The studio, NBC-UNIVERSAL, in a last minute edit removed a hilarious but tasteless scene, in lieu of Mr. Jackson’s death, just in yadacity time, for it’s Hollywood premiere.

The scene: LaToya Jackson in Bruno’s chic LA apartment – after getting her to sit on his “chairs” – which are Mexican workers bending over – who then serve her sushi of the hairy body of a naked man. Bruno then steals her cell phone so that he can get Michael Jackson’s cell number.

Wait, there is more. Gay and Lesbian groups don’t like how BRUNO depicts gay men. The rainbow children on the street, however, think its “verryyyyy Bruno.” That’s yadacity speak for “veryyyyyy Bruno.”

CHRISTIAN VINCENT on the edge of FRINGE




CHRISTIAN VINCENT just landed a role on the hit show FRINGE. He plays a man good with a knife, a surgeon.

Unless you’ve been under a very big rock, FRINGE (on FOX) is the series created by J.C. Abrams (the creator of LOST). The underground hit united Abrams with ALIAS writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman

Ok, for those of you under a Very big rock, the series involves a plane and tons of grisly deaths. Cool.

Yadacity recap:
An international flight lands at Boston's Logan Airport and the passengers and crew are all like VERY, very dead.

Sexy FBI Special Agent OLIVIA DUNHAM (Anna Torv) is called in to investigate. Lipstick on and hair in place.

Her snaky partner, Special Agent JOHN SCOTT (Mark Valley) almost gets himself killed during the investigation. Nutter!

Rather pissed off, Olivia searches frantically for a genius to help.

That genius is DR. WALTER BISHOP (John Noble, "Lord of the Rings: Return of the King"), our generation's Einstein.

There's only one catch. Hey, it’s a J.J. Abrams series. Ok, the obstacle, he's been institutionalized for the last 20 years, and the only way to question him requires pulling his estranged son PETER (Joshua Jackson) in to help.

OK. J.J. good move on casting CHRISTIAN VINCENT he is a rocking talent.

Most international audiences know CHRISTIAN VINCENT from the hit series NOAH'S ARC, the film NOAH'S ARC: JUMPING THE BROOM and "Center Stage 2". Now, the FRINGE.

Yadacity knows!

THE STONING OF SORAYA M stays with you.....



The critics agree, across the board, that this film “stays with you.”

You don’t have to look far to view the injustice that people, all over the world, endure.

Sadly, the world has recently witnessed the worst of human cruelty in Iran.

It was no small feat for the producers at Mpower Pictures to get THE STONING OF SORAYA M in the can. That’s Hollywood yadacity speak for “completed.”.

Based on a novel by Freidoune Sahebjam, the story centers on the murder, by stoning, of an Iranian woman. A horrifying miscarriage of so-called justice in a small, Iranian village.

The film opens today. Yadacity suggests that you read the reviews, watch the trailer and then settle in to watch the film. Be prepared to feel and to think. Remember this is based on a true story.

Change comes from understanding. This is a solid, first step to education.

THE MOTHERHOOD is a YADACITY PICK


THE MOTHERHOOD –
Go on think power of the “now,” with crazy humor. Yadacity is sure that you will fall “in like” with the crazy show.

YADACITY CAN SURVIVE A .....



YADACITY TV SUGGESTION OF THE WEEK
ABC is the network choice, this week, with the return of last summers’ hit - I Survived A Japanese Game Show - makes your Wednesday nights whacky fun.

The yadacity staff really want to know: how are these people surviving this Japanese game show?

We assume a person can endure a lot for fresh sushi and golden, crisp tempura, even dressing up as a bunny and being used as a human torpedo.

Chris Brown punks out


Chris Brown pleads guilty to avoid jail time. He’s “man enough” to hit a woman, heck, he deserves 15 minutes in the showers with slipperyyyyyyyy soap and burly convicts.

Shame on you Brown – yadacity shame on you for laying your soft, small hands on “the umbrella.”

Obsessed with Mariah Carey

The countdown is over...

Mariah Carey dropped her first single
"OBSESSED" from her upcoming album MEMOIRS OF AN IMPERFECT ANGEL due out on August 25th...
Take a guess at who she refers to with these lyrics...


Why you so obsessed with me (Boy I wanna know)
Lying that you're sexing me (when everybody knows)
You a mom and pop
I'm a corporation
I'm the press conference
and you a conversation

hmmm
Will the real MC please, step to the mike!
"I can't even know what to say" LYM Mariah!

ELLEN AND PORTIA HAVE A HALO


Sadie, Sadie married lady Ellen DeGeneres, I hope that you all know, is the owner of the pet food company HALO. A yadacity favorite for the kitties and dog children in our lives. Petco has a "free discount" card and they sell it, so if you care to keep them happy and healthy, then go HALO. http://www.halopets.com/

Mr. Letterman please don't help SARAH



Dear Mr. Letterman;

Thank you for the apology to Sarah Palin. Please Mr. Letterman, and all comics, don't give this ambitious woman any opportunity for media attention.

Don't you, and all comics, love America? Yes? Yadacity didn't hear you, did you say yes? Then "shut her down" and keep her in Alaska, where she loves it; she can see Russia from her house --maybe she should go there? I'd give my tax dollars for that trip.

BOOM BOOM POW


There are two Divas that make the Yadacity staff tingle. Mariah is one (of course) and the other one is FERGIE!


The Black Eyed Peas are all stunning-crazy-creative and one of the best things they did was grab the FERGIE.

In the current spread in Allure magazine, the July issue, she shows almost most of her 'Boom Boom Pow,'

Five reasons YadaCity loves Fergie

1. She has the 'Boom Boom Pow'
2. She slid down and came back hard and is staying on top
3. She is open about her sexual nature
4. She treats her fans with respect
5. She has the 'Boom Boom Pow'

Zakiya Hooker has music flowing in her veins




Baby, when a woman sings the blues it is the most natural rhythm on the planet.

Who else to better to know and express the anguish of love and pain or the rollercoaster ride of joy and despair than a woman. Very YadaCity.

Hooker brings all this to the table and more with the June 16 release of her fourth CD "Keeping It Real," produced by her husband, Ollan Bell, on their independent label, Boogie with the Hook Records distributed by BDC Distribution.

As the daughter of the late, great blues icon, John Lee Hooker, who better to keep it real than Zakiya? The blues sangin' songtress literally has the music flowin' through her veins.


"
Zakiya Hooker is20a regal combination of sass and soul. "Keeping It Real" is a defining contribution to her legacy as a woman singing the blues. You can keep it real with Zakiya Hooker at www.ZakiyaHooker.com .

The indie film, about to be a giant, production company BROOKLYN REPTYLE FILMS (BRF) is a multi-media production company whose primary goal is to create compelling films, television, and Internet content as well as commercials, music videos, trailers and behind-the-scenes footage for DVD releases.

Christo Dimassis and Roger M. Mayer started BRF in 2001. Christo has also been associated with the Sundance Film Festival for over 11 years and is a Board of Director for Silver Lake Film Festival and The Downtown Film Festival Los Angeles .

Together they have created six feature-length films, three full-length documentaries, nine shorts, and countless trailers, music videos, Internet webisodes, and commercials.

THE MANDALA MAKER




The Mandala Maker began its festival run by garnering six nominations - by far the most of any film - and one major win at the 2009 SINY Film Festival from June 4-7 in Staten Island, New York.

Among the nominations for Mandala were, Best Dramatic Short (Producer Sam Borowski), Best Short Screenplay (Sam Borowski and Gregory Nissen), Best Director (Sam Borowski), Best Cinematography (Bill Schweikart) and Best Actress (Courtney Hogan).

When all was said and done, The Mandala Maker won the award for BEST SHORT SCREENPLAY, for which co-writers Borowski and Nissen happily accepted.

"You can make a bad movie from a great screenplay," Borowski joked, "but you can't make a great movie from a bad screenplay. It always starts with the script. So, from that standpoint, this is a great honor."

Because of its late completion date, voting was based on the submitted rough-cut of the film, although it screened in a finished, polished version. After playing to two nearly sold-out screenings in New York, the film has already been accepted into the Central Florida Film Festival, which begins on September 4, and has been entered in no fewer than seven Academy-Award eligible festivals for the late summer and early Fall.

Cited by the Staten Island Advance as, "a major contender," for the Oscar for best live action short in 2010 - and don't forget that Yadacity recognized this film's merits, pointing out that it is indeed on the fast track for the 2010 Oscars several months back - the awards for this film have only just begun.
