In 2001 we come to know this special character she’s
hilarious, bawdy, with a great sense of humor. Bridget Jones (played be Renee
Zellwegger) London’s favorite party girl
is now settling down and will be expecting a child in this third installment. I
have always loved the films. My mom was the one who hooked and turned me to
British humor. She and a few other relatives laugh and enjoy shows with British
accents. I personally love their accents too. Now aside from Bridget’s accent I
love that she’s an aspiring journalist too. She’s not cookie cutter, she’s not
perfect but in our eyes of course we think of course she is. She has done it
all gone to jail in Thailand, kissed Mark Darcy (played by Colin Firth) in the
snow in zebra print knickers, and now she will be having a baby with either
Mark Darcy or perhaps Patrick Dempsey aka “Mr. McDreamy’s” character in this
new film. I am personally rooting for her and Darcy because I wanted to see
them become a family in the second film, “Edge of Reason” (2004) but with this
new chapter maybe things have changed, she can be in a whole different place
within the film and maybe things could be a lot different from where we left
them on that Winter day when Bridget’s parents remarried and renewed their
vows. So for me as a hopeless romantic I
hope whoever the lucky bloke is he will be the right fit for Bridget and her
family in the film. So get ready to get your laugh on this weekend! Bridget
returns to theaters September 16, 2016 on Friday! For more information on the

This movie will teach you about how to be more "Loving" in theaters November 2016
Imagine living in a world where you
could not be with the person you love. Imagine not being able to live in the
community, state, or neighborhood you love with that person and your family. You
could not see them or be with them at all. You're completely separated and segregated and It’s literally you fighting against
the government, fighting against your country, and the judicial system to be
with the person you love. This film takes place in the late 1950s where
childhood sweethearts an African American young Mildred Jeter and Richard
Loving grow up together and later fall in love to become a couple. As they get
older they later become a couple and begin cohabitating. According to Virginia
state law in 1958 because of the
400-year miscegenation laws they were not allowed to live together as a married
couple. There is something very powerful about this story. We live in a world
and country where people now are able to be free to be them selves. Now I know
that with all couples everything of course can be a struggle from time to time.
Financially, families, backgrounds, many points of views can be different.
There’s something kind of crazy about when people cannot be together because of
the law. Fortunately for this beautiful couple they used their minds to fight
for their love. They went to former president and the late, great, John F.
Kennedy and wrote them a letter discussing this issues they faced in their
community and neighborhood. The Lovings lived in a mixed community and actually
moved their purposely to raise their children and start their family in their
community.
There is something amazingly
beautiful about living on a planet with 7 continents we come from a world full
of people who are diverse, have so many experiences and stories that can change
the world. This is one of the stories where love can change a couple and the
point of view of the country and world. I loved the message right away. It’s one thing when you’re in
a relationship and there is a major obstacle and challenge for you to fight against
as a couple. You come together and find
a way to fight the problem and find a solution. It’s another thing when
your whole entire state forbids you to live in the state. Then you are exiled
leaving it for 25-years. That’s a pretty heartbreaking thing when not even the
love of your life can be in your life and the world becomes against you. I love
this story because we are talking about a time that wasn’t far away. 58 years
ago…and which really is not that long ago but there’s something powerful about
the timing of the story. It should have been addressed a long time ago. Now
it’s time for people to explore this issue again. Realize we still can make our
world more peaceful, more open-minded, more willing to fight for love, and most
of all more Loving. The film stars
Ruth Negga and Joel Edgerton who will play Mildred and Richard Loving. The film
will debut this fall in November on November 4, 2016-Friday. For more
information on Virginia vs. Loving, more information on the couple, and the
film. Visit http://www.focusfeatures.com/loving
Now one more thing I wanted to
mention of course with my blog you know I am all about promotion, all about
discussing what’s current, and what’s happening. You also know I discuss my
life too….here’s one thing you didn’t know about me. I am only telling you this
story to make a very fair point with this story…I come from a family of people
who are very liberal…one thing I discovered that is apart of my history, my
genes, and my story. On my mother, Gina's side-My great-grandfather, Fred Golden, Sr.
was Half-Jewish and Half African American his father was Jewish and mother was
African American. I never met him
but if I did I would have loved to have asked him what it was like growing up
during that time in the 1950's in the twentieth century. Was it hard for him to be around his parents? I would ask him , I would ask about his experiences,
and was it easier for him to live in California or was it harder to live in
Midwestern, St. Louis, Missouri. I think for us now in this generation of
course it’s easier to be with anyone in the 21st century we have had so many protests, so many fights against the legal systems all of the world. I think our generation we always have to remember sometimes
the world is easier because our ancestors went through situations that were harder
and more challenging for them too. I hope you all will take someone special to
see this film, some of you may see yourselves in this film and the characters, and I hope you all
come back from this movie fighting for your love too. Just in time for the
holiday seasons begin. Enjoy my dear readers and of course there's always more for me to share with you. I have got a lot to discuss believe and we are not even at the end of 2016 yet stay tuned....

First female MLB player comes to Fox
Hello my dear readers, There’s
always something going on of course for me to write about to you guys. This
show I couldn’t miss because of the topic and the fact this is a big role and character
that could change the game for a lot of women in the entertainment
industry and sports industry. I believe we are in a time
where women can pretty much go into any industry whether they want to be in the
medical field, legal, inventors, scientists, astronauts, fashion designers,
owners of multiple businesses, music moguls, teachers, professors, and most of all
athletes. I was a little bit of a tom boy as a kid even though I was involved
in activities growing up from gymnastics, ballet, theatre, choir, basketball,
and more. I am a big person on believing kids especially girls can pretty much do anything at
all. I love that this television show will be able to open up some doors in a
way to showcase to girls you can pretty much do anything that you choose to do
and even break some barriers as well.
“Pitch” is a television show that
will debut on September 22, 2016 will focus on the life of an aspiring female
baseball player who will open some major
doors for females all across the board. The show will be featured around “Ginny Baker”
played by Kylie Bunbury she has starred on (Days of our lives”, ”Prom”, “The
Sitter”, “Twisted”, and “Under the dome”). She will star in her first lead role
as a woman with a dream to dominate and become the first female major league
baseball player. I hope this role will
open young girls, teens, and women’s eyes to seeing that you can be a part of
any industry that choose to completely. The film will also star Mark Paul
Gosselear, Mo McRae, Meagan Holder, Tim Jo, Ali Larter, and Mark Consuelos.
The show I really love because she
reminds me of another famous woman her name is Mamie “Peanut” Johnson
originally from Indianapolis, Indiana and became one of the first female
pitchers of baseball she dominated and killed it and was standing nearly 5 foot
3 inches tall. She had a way of
capturing the crowd and could really perform incredibly. I see a lot of this
woman in this character. You take on a challenge even when the baseball
industry and the public may consider you to be different. It can do remarkable
things and change your life and career too. It opened major doors for Johnson
and she is still well known in the community of Washington, D.C. as well. It goes to show you that in real life dreams
can come true it’s not only happens in the fictional world too. For more information on “Pitch” visit http://www.fox.com

"How Dare You Judge Me"
Ladies and Gentlemen my dear readers I have been going
through it this year seriously. I am 3 months away from turning 30 guys and I
can tell you do I feel my age….YES!!! I have been through a lot this year some
great experiences that have taught me beautiful lessons. I have come into my
own and I am learning to “fight fire with fire” now as some people say. My
current boyfriend and I were having some problems and I always tried to keep in
open mind too about dating other people too. I met a few people this year some
I can kind of decipher and know that these men were clearly not going to be Mr.
Right Now. Some had potential at one point I became so close actually to
meeting someone who was damn near perfect. I met a guy at my old job I used to
work part-time and evenings for the well- known furniture discount store Bob’s
Discount Furniture. You all have seen the commercials with the little man
running around in the bright yellow t-shirt he has brown hair and talks to the
real-life Bob. Well earlier this year back in February I met a guy who came
into the store. He was one of my customers actually and he came in to order new
furniture for his new apartment he just moved into New York. He lives in Harlem
and so we had to assist him right away. The funny thing is when I first saw him
he was one of the most handsome men I actually seen in person. I couldn’t
believe my eyes actually and I couldn’t concentrate when I met him. He was so
handsome it through me off from focusing at that time. My co-worker, Zacha had
to literally stop me and so
did the other ladies were drooling when they saw him too.
did the other ladies were drooling when they saw him too.
“Chloe, focus here let me help you” I remember she told me.
We completed his order and of course everything worked out. I always wanted to go
out with him. At the time I was dating “Theo” and I couldn’t because I know how
these days guys have consider women not to be loyal or faithful. So I chose not
to concentrate just to ignore him. Now about 3 months later…..I ran into him. I
am looking for a new place to move to and I have just been looking at some
potential ideas. Just looking all around and on this beautiful windy, rainy day
I took a bus over to the west side in Harlem to go look at apartments. I ran
into the handsome guy again out walking his dog. I said “Hey do you know where
this apartment is I am looking to go to an open house”. So he told me where to
go and his dog jumped on me. She was so sweet and friendly. So as I walked away
I couldn’t stop thinking about him. We exchanged e-mail addresses or rather I took
it. I went on to go look for places and I thought about him for a while. I knew
in my heart and mind I had to move forward. I had to see where things would go
with me and this other person. I didn’t want to lose him to someone else not
that way. It’s like let things run its course. Now one advantage I had was
because my boyfriend and I are in a long-distance relationship it worked for us
because he has family here and he was going to move here too. So I wanted
things to kind of just fizzle out first not just jump into anything. A part of
me couldn’t help it though…I reached out to “The Handsome Customer” and he
responded saying “Hey Beautiful…I hope I am not being to forward I wanted to
take you out…”. I tell you I was dancing and skipping like I was on soul train
or a music video lol!!! Yes I was happy but then I thought about my boyfriend I
had to talk to my girlfriends about it too. I was worried and I just didn’t
want to involve myself yet. So I rejected
him unfortunately…I cancelled twice I think out of fear because I didn’t want
to cheat either. I didn’t do it. He was hurt but I didn’t realize it until a
couple days ago
So a few months later passed since May and we are in August
now I reached out to him and I know this looks bad…he was so mad at me when I reached
out to him. Now there’s one funny part to this story I was watching the Tony
awards one night and didn’t realize that the Handsome Customer has a brother
who’s a broadway actor. He received an award and I didn’t realize it was him.
Now I reached out and I thought it was just funny. I didn’t want anything from
him at all. I have been to concerts, broadway shows, ballets, operas, and more.
I don’t want anything but to get to know you.
He called me the
ultimate diss….”A Gold digger, Pathetic, Two-Faced, Evil, Conniving, Manipulative, I don’t want to know
you, date, you or anything.” I was
broked- hearted and felt like someone punched me in the stomach. I know words
can hurt…as a wordsmith and writer I know how to cut with words trust me. I told
him how I work 2 jobs even more and I have a bachelor’s degree. How dare you
insult me and I told him how dare you judge me. I told him I can’t believe
someone like you would be so hurtful and demeaning. I told him you never have
to speak to me again. I realized you know what he was hurt. I have been called
names plenty of times but nothing that demeaning. So for me it’s clear I think
just for a little while I need some time for me to reflect just for a minute.
Clear my head and focus on my other goals and projects. I am not saying love
won’t happen but I just know I need more time.
I just couldn't believe the fact he said it to me but I have realized between him and my now new ex-beau. I have to really figure out and find the man who would be there even with small things. I will give you an example if I had no food at all would you come and assist me if I needed something. Or would you be there I am not saying doling out money (I don't need it) I mean support, compassion, sympathy. I know who would be there in hard times and who wouldn't. I just know that at times people may need you to know that you need them too. But I think even when we do that and there's no response at all. You have to move forward and find new people. So here's to the future...to finding some genuine real men who will step up. I dedicate this song,"Don't Judge Me" by C.Breezy (Chris Brown) to this guy...lol. Cause darling you don't know me and don't judge me ever.
I don't want to post pictures of the man yet who was so rude because you never know things may change. Lol....so we'll keep him anonymous.
Update we never spoke again but happy to know his famous brother is doing so very well. =) As for Theo he lives in New York now and moved here this fall 2016 in September. So stay tuned my readers.

King of R&B back to reclaim the movie screens and radio, Usher's Flawed coming 2016
I was walking down the street in the city, with my ipod and
I often hear this person’s music anyway all over on the radio and I have been a
fan since I was probably in junior high school he was singing his new song “No
Limit” feat Young Thug. I cannot believe I haven’t wrote about him in such a
long time probably not since “Raymond vs. Raymond” in 2010. He has been up to a
lot two children, several albums, hosting the show, “The Voice” with Blake
Shelton, Gwen Stefani, and Adam Levine.
In the last 6 years Usher has been up to a great deal with
judging on the Voice, recording albums, (2012’s) “Looking for myself” he had 5
top singles, “Climax”, “Scream”, “Lemme See”, “Numb”, and “Dive”. With now 9
albums under his belt (Usher, My
Way, 8701, Confessions, Here I Stand, Raymond vs Raymond, Versus, Looking for
Myself, and now Flawed), he can pretty much do whatever he wants making some
incredible moves as an artist, songwriter, and singer. Also actor Usher can act
believe me does anyone remember the movie, “She’s All That”, “The Faculty”,
“Light it Up” (1999) this came out during the beginning and height of Usher’s
career when “My Way” was booming through our radios and cassette players in
1990s. Now in the new millennium he has had a nice list of movies under his
belt, “In the Mix” (2005), “Killers”, “Scary Movie 3” (2013), and now his new
film “Hands of Stone” comes out August 26th,, 2016. Also “Popstar: Never stop stopping”
(2017). In “Hands of Stone” he will play Sugar Ray Leonard in the film. A role
I have been actually looking forward to him playing in a autobiography for a
long time. Now with his new albums and his career taking flight again he is on
his way to rising as the Prince of R&B. He is incredibly talented and of course can pretty much do
anything of course as far as a recording artist. If he wanted to record a
ballad he can sing it, a gospel song, an electronic dance hit, sing on a hip
hop & r&b song. He can pretty much do it all. I have Usher lend his
vocals to numerous hit singles, I remember listening to him on this website I
used to visit frequently called “My Playlist”.com and me as an avid music lover
would sit in my apartment creating, coming up with so many songs and hits I
loved from pop, rock, R&B, and all genres. I remember hearing him sing on
“Ice Box” by Omarion, listening to him sing with Lil’Jon, Trey Songz, or even now current solo artist Zayn
Malik formerly of One Direction. He can sing with anyone and has a way of
connecting to some powerful love & heartbreak songs. He has had a major
influence on the current R&B and Pop singers the new guys who have made
their mark in the music industry. I have listened to all of theses artists I am
familiar with all of their stories and yes Usher has had a major impact on
Miguel, Ne-Yo, August Alsina, Jason Derulo, Drake, all of these artists he has
managed to influence them
Usher is no stranger to both of course the ladies love him
with his 8-pack abs, his dimples, his smile, his dance moves, his voice, his
charming personality, and the fact that he is incredibly talented since he was
singing probably at the age of a toddler. Usher is a lothario it goes without saying to people. In 1998 he was named “The Sexiest
R&B Star”, in 2004 and 2008 was considered by People Magazine as “Sexiest
Man Alive”. In 2010 he was given the title 50 Sexiest Men Alive, in 2013, he
was considered as one of the most stylish R&B singers of the 90s. I would
say also in the 2000s. I remember it took a long time for Usher to really find
what kind of look he wanted to project to the audience. He wanted people to see
him as stylish, cool, edgy, but still age appropriate, well tailored. I think
for him he looks amazing in his suits, he just needs a great suit, that fits
him, maybe a pop of color, jeans, athleisure wear too. You can put him in about
anything and he will look great in it. So for him to come into his own as a
style icon for young men. That
says a lot about how he will known also as influencing his style.
He has a way about him where you know he was destined to be
a true star, he will be a legend, and he will continue to charm ladies of many
generations. He is also a
smart businessman with collections of fragrances and many business ventures. You can believe you will see a lot more from this father of two. He is father to two boys Nayvid and Usher the Fifth aka “Cinco”. Looking forward to Usher’s film this summer and new album. He can only continue to go up from him. He has sold 23.8 million albums in America, sold 38.2 million downloads in song sales, world wide he has sold 43 million albums making him one of the best recording artists of the 2000s.
In 2008 he discovered artist Justin Bieber when he started
record label Raymond Braun Media Group. He took Justin under his wing groomed
him the same way LA Reid and Sean “Puff Daddy/P.Diddy” Combs did as well. They
taught them ropes along with his former manager and his mom Jonetta Patton. He
was able to really find his way as well. He is now under new management and now
can manage is now currently managed by his wife, Grace Miguel (he remarried in
2015). He is definitely in an amazing place and cannot wait to see his career
continue to thrive. For more
information on Usher’s projects visit http://www.usherworld.com You know your girl saw him in 2004 actually I have to go see another Usher show it's been way too long. Lol...but look out for "Flawed" coming this year in 2016.
"When the Bough Breaks" coming in September 2016
Ever want something that someone has so bad but at the same
time you have something they want from you too. Well in this movie this is
exactly what this film is about. You know we live in a world where we have to fight for things all of the time. Challenges happen even when it comes to fertility and for people trying to have children. That's one of the main themes in the story. How you fight for a baby and you really have to fight now to see what will happen when someone tests you. They want to see how far you can go will you give up. This is what the main character has to go through in "The Bough Breaks". It looks intense and definitely shows the family dynamic being tested between Regina and Morris's characters.
I am looking forward to this film because I am
a Morris Chestnut (Rosewood) and Regina Hall fan (About Last Night, Blackish, Scream series, Best Man & Best Man Holiday)fan of course I have seen their (Best Man
Wedding films ) and so many more television shows I have seen the both of them
but now it’s their time to play a couple. A couple who is struggling with
fertility issues so they look for a surrogate who will help them have a child. They hire Anna played by upcoming and
new star, Jaz Sinclair. The couple notice her to be perfect for them but at the
same time they notice that she is being tormented by her ex-boyfriend and she
also is becoming interested in Morris Chestnut’s character. This film is
guaranteed to give you some ideas of what happen when hiring a surrogate can go
wrong and you will be in for quite some crazy twists, turns, and surprises. I
hope you will go see this film it debuts on Friday, September 16, 2016.
