Queen Latifah to Find Romance With Common
Queen Latifah is preparing to hate neither the player nor the game in her next project, Just Wright, a romance in which she'll star opposite Common. Latifah's character is "a sports trainer who finds herself falling in love with a professional basketball player while rehabilitating him from a career-threatening injury."
I'm interested to see Queen Latifah play one half of a lead couple in a romantic movie — more often than not, she plays a sassy supporting character.
BuzzSugar at WonderCon: Star Trek and Terminator Preach to the Choir
It was an insane — not to mention insanely fun — weekend at WonderCon here in San Francisco. I already reported back on the exciting Watchmen panel, and now I'm giving the lowdown on the panels I attended for Star Trek and Terminator Salvation. The directors of both movies showed up to explain to a crowd of devotees how they think they've done right by fans with these reboots.
Angelina, Brad, Penelope & More Need No Red Carpet Criticism
Things got a little more fancy between Wednesday and Thursday in LA, between the People's Choice Awards and last night's Critics' Choice Awards. The red carpet had a few more gowns and a bit more glamour last night all leading up to Sunday's Golden Globe Awards — don't forget to fill out your ballot! Of course Brad and Angelina turned the most heads with their head to toe beauty and cozy posing.
What to Download: New Music on iTunes
Tuesdays are big in entertainmentville: Not only do all the new DVD releases hit Netflix, but new music also pours into stores, including iTunes. So I take a spin through each week's iTunes music releases and pick out some albums and tracks worthy of a download. Here are today's selections:
Hip hop hooray: I'm always looking forward to new Common albums and have been especially excited for his eighth release (I made it one of my must haves this month).

Wanted: Overflowing With Blood, Bullets, Testosterone
A few things Wanted is not: quiet or steadily shot. It's also not all that enjoyable. But then again, I'm surely not the target audience for this film.
Celebrities Show Their Love For Cartier
When Cartier throws a party, you can bet some of Hollywood's finest ladies happily come running. The stars were out in LA last night at the latest Cartier Love Bracelet launch. Hilary Duff brought her boyfriend Mike Comrie, while her ex — which is definitely a good thing — Joel had Nicole by his side.
Common Gives Us A Reason to See Terminator 4
Well, OK, we already had one reason: Christian Bale. But now that Common's joining the cast of the fourth Terminator installment, Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins, it's pretty much guaranteed I'll check out this movie.
According to Variety, "Story centers on John Connor (Bale), now in his 30s, who leads what is left of the human race in a battle against the machines.
Street Kings: Police Officers Gone Wild
Street Kings is primarily focused on examining two types of police officers seen in many a film before: the rogue cop who disregards the law in the name of justice and the cop that appears to follow the rules but is deeply corrupt. You would think that in the hands of a talented guy like director David Ayer, who is well-versed in the handling of this kind of gritty material (having written Training Day and directed Harsh Times) this movie would be not only entertaining but also darkly unnerving.
So, was it entertaining?
