Nia Long Subliminally Disses Beyonce

I'm actually glad somebody had the balls besides Samuel L. Jackson to say it but it's not like it will help. Nia Long recently did an interview with U.K. magazine "Pride" and had a few things to say about those who are not "skilled" actors/actresses.

“If you’re a singer not an actress, you should sing. If you’re a rapper, you should rap,”

In the July issue of the mag, Nia was asked about Beyonce's performance in the movie "Obsessed" and had this to say:

“I didn’t see ‘Obsessed,’ so I can’t comment, but it’s just not about how talented you are anymore. It’s about, ‘How much box-office revenue will this person generate?’ When you see certain people – we won’t name names – they just don’t have the skill, and no one in their team has said, ‘You need acting classes,’” Long replied.

I'm not even mad because she's right. Even though she didn't name any names, we know she's talkin about Bey and truth be told, she CAN'T act. Even Idris Elba slipped up during an interview and told the world what he really thought of Beyonce’s acting. It must be something in the water lately. First The Game is dissing Bey and now Nia???

Things that make you go hmmmmm....

Big Momma 3 In The Making?

Over the weekend in Los Angeles, producer David Friendly, who was doing interiews for his latest film, 'Soul Men', stated that he's looking to get 'Big Momma's House 3' in theaters in 2009. While there is no script in place at this point, he's confident that both Martin Lawrence and Nia Long will come back and reprise their roles.

Both Big Momma's House (2000) and Big Momma's House 2 (2006) were box office hits with $117 million dollars and $70 million dollars respectively. Released by 20th Century Fox, both films centered on Martin Lawrence as an undercover FBI agent using a fat suit to impersonate a Southern granny. In the last film, Martin was married to Sherry, who was expecting his baby. He's being booted off the FBI, so he tries to prove that he's a much-needed fixture in the Bureau by getting involved in a case that he has no business getting involved in. He goes in with the nanny outfit to get the job, and investigate some fraudulent activity where the U.S. defense is concerned.

I'm just hoping that if they do actually do a BM3, that will be the end of it. *SIGH*... I don't care for another one of these, but I would like to see Martin and Will in a Bad Boys 3... I love those two together on the screen!
