Zoe Saldana to play Nina Simone in new biopic

she'll probably be with idris elba as the main lead

I'll say this, if she gonna do the part she needs to put on some weight & try tanning a little to show her effort into making it as realistic as possible.

 

[Wesley Pipes quotes]

Let me guess, the relationship in question involves a white man? Regardless, I don't get why make a movie on Nina Simone of all people when you cant use her music. Ridiculous especially when her music is so intertwined with the civil rights era I don't see how they could overlook that in a movie.

BTW, I've always heard of Nina Simone and I remember my brother having her huge CD collection but I had never listened to her until a few years ago. If you have never listened to any of this women's music think Lauren Hill x 100. No one else can even come close.

Well it shouldn't be out of the question since her first husband was white. Imagine that? Sista soulja speaking out against colorism and marrying white.

Is Bradley Cooper giving Zoe Saldana, his co-star and former girlfriend, the cold shoulder? - NY Daily News

Bradley Cooper Threw that in the bushes.

Is Bradley Cooper giving ex-girlfriend Zoe Saldana the silent treatment?

At a screening of “The Words” at Goose Creek in the Hamptons, People magazine’s 2011 “Sexiest Man Alive” told Confidenti@l he hasn’t been speaking to his co-star, who he was romantically linked on and off with from January until June.

“I only talk to Brian [Klugman, the director and childhood pal],” Cooper told us when pressed. “That’s the only person I ever talk to.”

The sexy Saldana was noticeably absent from the screening of the plagiarism thriller, which also stars Jeremy Irons, Ben Barnes and Dennis Quaid. In it, she plays Cooper’s lover.

“She brought so much to the role, as did everybody else. Jeremy Irons was a dream. I had a chance to work with great people,” Cooper said.

Spotted at the Fiji Water and Carrera Sunglasses-sponsored screening were Susan Sarandon, Howard Stern and his wife, Beth Ostrosky.

Also noticeably absent was co-star Olivia Wilde, who was linked to the blue-eyed Lothario in March 2011 after he split from then-longtime girlfriend Renee Zellweger.

A spokeswoman for Saldana says the “Avatar” actress “wasn’t able to travel to New York because she had a conflict. She will be at the premiere in L.A. and is doing press from there, too.”

The rep didn’t elaborate on the “conflict,” but Saldana was spotted in Los Angeles with a cast around her wrist on Friday.

The former couple, who made their debut at a New Year’s Eve bash together, seemed quite friendly after calling it quits in March. They had dinner at East Village Mexican restaurant Empellon Cocina at the end of May, and we reported them locking lips while brunching with Saldana’s family at Boom in SoHo in June.

you see black women. You see what you get lowering your self worth for the cac dikk? Deep down, all white men think of black women as a peace of meat. I ain't even mad at Bradley. He got the puss and went on about his business. Meanwhile this bish is hooked.

This is what happens when black people want to be embraced by mixed people so badly that they try to say mixed people are black. I called this and people got mad at me for it. Genius ahead of its time is rarely appreciated.

If you say so.

the proud ignorance


Black women were heated by this yet couldnt think of an alternative. I love it when sistahs get mad over something like this but have no other solutions. I think Zoe will do a good job at this.
