CHRIS come out of the ....

Chris Brown is getting a smack down?

Coming up this week on ABC’s GOOD MORNING AMERICA (and followed by 20/20) is an exclusive
interview with “the umbrella” – Rhianna.

You know the story (which is getting soooo olddddddd) her “romance” with the tender, soft and tiny, manicured hands of Chris Brown (ohhh-stop yawning) ended in a lawsuit, blah-blah-blah!

Ok …yadacity will play along but it feels like a very well arranged public relations-marketing-branding campaign. To this, I tip my hat to the team.

FYI: People, these days, are not that “naïve,” (anymore) they/we/you--- just play along! That does not mean that they/we/you---buy (purchase, given the paper, etc.) the product!

IN JOY WE TRUST ON BABIES!

ABC’s THE VIEW is always, well, a view.

THE VIEW on ABC
On the subject of birth and abortion, i In Joy we trust!!!!! You know what, most people watch “the View,’ and laugh (inside and out) at the lovely blonde mother of three.

We—the hard working people, on this third-rock-from-the-sun— laugh with you?

In truth, Elizabeth is laughing all the way to the bank…that is a good chuckle!

Goggle ABC's the view and then watch the great film VERA DRAKE.

Notes from Filmmaker Sam B. about Movies

Yadacity welcomes filmmaker Sam B. see below.....


Filmmaker SAM B reporting from Film Columbia, where my film, THE MANDALA MAKER screened on Friday, October 23, at 6 p.m. at the Morris Memorial Center in Chatham, New York and received tons of love from the diverse crowd on hand that night.

As many of you know we recently qualified MANDALA for the 2010 Academy Awards and we have won no fewer than three film festivals - to date - and will be playing in some large festivals in early 2010! However, Film Columbia was littered with many award-winning films, and much Academy fare. Two of my favorites were the very fun 'THE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS' starring George Clooney and Ewan McGregor, and THE WHITE RIBBON which won the prestigious Palm d'Or at Cannes this past year.

However, one film that EVERYONE was talking about was the moving closing-night film, PRESCIOUS, Produced and Directed by Lee Daniels (MONSTER'S BALL, SHADOWBOXER). The film was a hard-edged piece of drama, to say the least, and what an amazing performance turned in by Gaboury "Gabby," Sidibe in the title role. She really made you feel for this girl, and there is one moment where she has a teary-eyed close-up and speaks of the love she wishes to give to someone. A heart-wrenching glimpse of cinema.

PRESCIOUS, by the way, won both the Audience Award and Jury Prizes at Sundance this year. Humbled me to think of THE MANDALA MAKER, the little film that could, sharing space with this amazing double-winner from Sundance.

One of the people I got to meet was Geoffrey Fletcher, the screenwriter for PRESCIOUS, a very talented and soft-spoken man. A huge shout-out to Fletcher, who did a remarkable job on the adaptation of the novel PUSH, by Sapphire, for which the film is based. He has a great chance to win an Oscar for BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY at the 2010 Oscars. It is my dream that myself and Gregory Nissen will be there to join him as the winners of the BEST LIVE-ACTION SHORT that night.

Hey, this is Hollywood, and you know what they say - everybody's got a dream ... what's your yadacity dream?

Gabourey Sidibe might have "The C Word..."

The sizzle for Gabourey Sidibe, young star of the drama --"Precious," directed by Lee Daniels from Sapphires’ original novel PUSH, is that Showtime is in talks to add the young actress to the comedy pilot for "The C Word."
The new comedy stars Laura Linney as a suburban wife, mother and a teacher forced to face a diagnosis of cancer but finds a lighter side of a very dark situation.
Sidibe would play a student in her summer-school class. The role could be a recurring one for the newcomer, whose breakthrough performance in "Precious" is creating some Oscar buzz.
The film, in which Sidibe plays a pregnant teen who overcomes insurmountable odds, opens next Friday via Lionsgate.

THE MAID is from Chile...we love it!

Yada city is calling THE MAID by director SEBASTIAN SILVA. Check out the work of Catalina Saavedra---this is a gift of a film and one of the "buzzed about" at the Gotham Independent Film Awards.

From Chile, Silva reaches deep to find the emotion of the story and in the end, it leaves you a bit "off track."

No spoilers here just check it out.

Bai Ling and Magic

Bai Ling, the interesting beauty has a new love, by her slender side.

It’s Quiji (the Chinese word for magic) and is half domestic cat, half cheetah, as reported by PeoplePets.com.

This is no cheap hybrid --- it cost her ex-boyfriend, around $30,000. Now that’s a good ex-anything!

Ling an animal lover from the start believes that: "In my previous life, I was a cheetah or leopard or some sort of really wild and dangerous animal in nature."

A long time ago, growing up in Miami, I took home a starving big black kitten. It was full Panther cub….the older Quiji gets, the “wilder” she will become. It’s not their fault –there are made for condo living…

Yadacity has spoken and I hope you know that it comes from my animal heart!
