Thandie Newton
Born in London on November 6, 1972, Thandie Newton is a consummate actress associated with riveting performances in everything from Beloved to Besieged to Crash.
She will soon be seen in the independent film Vanishing on 7th Street where she stars opposite Hayden Christensen and John Leguizamo, and she is currently shooting the psychological thriller The Retreat with Cillian Murphy and Jamie Bell.
Thandie won both a BAFTA and Screen Actors Guild Awards for her work in Crash, the Academy Award-winning Best Picture of 2006. She most recently appeared in 2012, a sci-fi flick which grossed in excess of $750 million at the box office worldwide.
Newton impersonated Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in W. which was directed by Oliver Stone. Other films on her impressive resume’ include The Pursuit of Happyness, Run Fat Boy Run, The Truth about Charlie and Mission Impossible 2.
Here, she talks about playing Tangie in Tyler Perry’s screen adaptation of Ntozake Shange’s For Colored Girls, an ensemble drama co-starring Kerry Washington, Janet Jackson, Kimberly Elise, Loretta Devine and Phylicia Rashad.
Kam Williams: Hi, Thandie, thanks for the time. The last time we spoke was when you were doing Run Fatboy Run.
Thandie Newton: [Sarcastically] Well, For Colored Girls is exactly like that one, isn’t it Kam?
KW: [Playing along] Sure, the same storyline, and you’re even playing the same character. I want to get right to questions submitted by fans of yours. Children’s book author Irene Smalls asks what were your initial feelings about taking the role of Tangie?
TN: Terror. I was really terrified, because the film was so unlike anything I’d ever done before, because Tangie’s so unlike me, and because of the quiet, sensitive and grateful place I was in my life on a personal level. I knew I’d now have to go out and be this audacious, promiscuous character.
KW: But you killed in the role! You did it!
TN: You know what, my darling? I got into it. I pulled myself away from my place of peace and compassion. [LOL]
KW: Reverend Florine Thompson asks: Which character in For Colored Girls do you most identify with?
TN: Oh, goodness! Gilda, possibly. But, honestly, I identify with a bit of everybody.
KW: Editor/legist Patricia Turner says: I think you’re a great actress! Is Tangie one of the more complex and challenging characters you’ve played?
TN: Absolutely! And I am so grateful for the opportunity to play her, because there are times when a character is uncomplicated and just about moving the story from A to B which makes me want to quit. As opposed to pieces like this where I get to play a real character. For Colored Girls has recharged my batteries for the next decade. It reminded me of what acting can be, how powerful a tool it can be, and how entertaining and provocative it can be for an audience. These types of roles don’t come along often, but I seem to get them at the right time, and then I decide not to throw in the towel.
KW: FSU grad Laz Lyles asks: With a text this powerful, what was the self-discovery factor like? Were there any dormant traits that unexpectedly came to the surface?

Tameka Foster Raymond
Tameka Raymond will be gracing the next “cover” for Vibe.com and she opens up about about Usher and their marriage.
Check out a snippet of the interview:
VIBE: Another thing most question is your last name. Any special reason for keeping it Raymond?
Tameka Raymond: (Laughs) I don’t think because a relationship doesn’t work, you have to change your name back. It’s an asinine question. Why not? Prior to getting married I kept my ex-husband’s last name. People have such a short expectancy for marriage that when they divorce it’s ‘Why does she still have his name?’ Dude, I was supposed to keep his name until I die. I wasn’t supposed to get a divorce (laughs).
VIBE: If Usher got his sh*t together, do you think the love could be easily rekindled?
June 11th, 2010 ibhmagazine Diddy was interviewed by the infamous Martin Bashir from 'Nightline' and trust you've never seen Diddy like this before. Martin called Diddy out about having six children by 3 different women, his wanting to be emulated by the masses and more.
It's about time somebody call his a$$ out about this mess. What kind of example is he representing for his kids when he's kicking it with their mom one minute then he's bunned up with Cassie the next. Just triff!
