I agree. It ain't easy out there for black actresses in general. I had the TV on PBS the other night and caught the tail end of a ballroom dancing competition as I was piddling around. The hostess's voice and delivery caught my ear. She was so infomercial, for lack of a better word. Turns out it was Jasmine Guy.
Jennifer Hudson'll have to work hard and be lucky to find a part as good as what she had in "Dreamgirls." But I think she can have a good career. Looks like she's doing alright. According to the IMBd, she's got four movies in the can:
The Family That Preys Together (2008) (pre-production) (A Tyler Perry film)
The Secret Life of Bees (2009) (post-production) .... Rosalene Daise (With Dakota Fanning, Queen Latifah, and Alicia Keys)
Sex and the City: The Movie (2008) (post-production) .... Carrie's Assistant (She'll have to really bring it to compete with the four leads, but I know I'll be going to see this one.)
Winged Creatures (2008) (post-production) .... Kathy Archenault (Again, with Dakota Fanning. . . do they have the same agent or something? . . . Kate Beckinsale, Forest Whitaker, Jackie Earle Haley, and Guy Pearce)
Not too shabby. At least she ain't playing Willona or doing a "Soul Plane" sequel.

Bo Svenson was there!?!? Or was it Joe Don Baker? Did he bring his bat? He coulda used it on Gary Busey.

No argument there. But the WORST is Billy Bush. Insipid. He's pretty but not so pretty that I can stand him for any length of time.

She's too much. One of my sisters ADORES her. I'm sorry I didn't get to see her in "Wicked." I've got her version of "Popular," and it's incredible. There's nothing that can stop you from becoming popu-ler. LAR! I read an article about her a couple of years back, and she admitted to Bedazzling everything. Bless her heart!
Have you seen her do "Hopelessly Devoted to You" on "Pushing Daisies"?

I've always wanted a black velvet jacket to wear with a white turtleneck. And I want an angora sweater too (Hand to God.).
Otherwise, black velvet is best used as a canvas for paintings. I gave my dad a portrait of John Wayne on black velvet (The Duke won an Oscar for "True Grit," and that cute little Glen Campbell was in it when he was cute. . . just to keep sorta, kinda on topic.). I got it at a roadside sale. I had to choose between that one and one of a little boy sitting on the toilet (I'm not kidding.). Dad hung it up in his workshop. I think it's hiding a hole in the wall. And, swear to God, I once saw a Kenny Rogers black velvet painting. I'm holding out for a Dogs Playing Poker on black velvet, but them is hard to come by.
