# 2649 | angelah meant damn lab took so long =S**G’evening original jpf!! Shoot do u guys know if they’re going to replay that Showbiz tonight segment?

I have more in common visually with Halle Berry, Thandie, and Mariane, and trust me, she may not consider herself black, but the world does, are at least I do, and proudly.# 2536 | Original jpf+++++++++++++++++++++It’s too bad we don’t get to pick how we want the world to view us, isn’t it? Even if MP doesn’t think of herself as black, the all-powerful "society" does and that’s how her life is measured in this world.As a black person in this country you frequently hear people say that Europeans aren’t as obsessed with race as we are, but I think recent events in several countries there have shown that to be a lie. The reason they weren’t obsessed by it is that people of color were still a fairly minor portion of their populations. Now that more and more ethnic groups are moving to the Western world to have a better quality of life, we’re starting to see things like the riots in Paris where you have a whole lot of Middle Eastern and East African immigrants who HAPPEN to be Muslim in addition to being ethnic minorities complaining about their lives and lack of economic opportunities and religious freedoms and how they’re treated. I’ve kind of being keeping half and eye on some of these happenings and snickering to myself. Yeah, minorities weren’t an issue when you were talking about a few hundred people in a country of 10 million. Now that you’re talking about 1 million out of 11 million? Yeah, baby, that’s a whole new ballgame.

CLINIQUA, don’t talk too much about Oscar yet. I am very supestitious.

# 2532 | CLINIQUA Unfortunately for Marianne Pearl her movie is being made in the US. It’s sad to say that, even in this day an age, if a person has even one drop of "negroid" blood they are considered to be "black" or "African American" or whatever we are this week. There was a post last night from someone saying they doubted X had ever been slated to play MP because MP is black. Yet today we get official word that Angie is playing the role yet she’s no blacker than X.There are lots of people in this country who are of multiple ethnic origins, yet they are considered to be "black". Just ask Tiger Woods. He frequently says that he considers himself to be just as much Thai as African American because not doing so is disrespectful of his mother and denies his whole heritage. But, he realizes that society views him as a black man. There are also a lot of latinos of African ancestry who consider themselves to be Latino, but most people look at their skin and see an African American/black person.I think if there’s not some sort of protest from someone in the African American community before the movie is made that it will be a miracle. There will almost certainly be controversy afterwards if the movie is a big success or criticially acclaimed. Obviously it’s not an issue for Marianne Pearl, but I’m more than willing to be that not all "black" people see it that way. # 2654 | Passing Through *************************I hear you PT, and believe me you aren’t saying anything I don’t either already know, and won’t say amen to myself — but speaking of my own experience, I think that would be true if Angelina were playing an "African American" woman — but black folks are reluctant to embrace and claim ‘others,’ from other countries who may or may not identify as ‘black,’ and/or share the ‘African American’ experience. For instance, Soledad O’Brien, she id’s as black but let’s say she id’d as cuban/irish….I personally wouldn’t be on the frontlines saying, ‘Grrrl, you KNOW you’re black don’t even try it,’ I would be like that’s fine, if that’s her reality and culture…she can get J Lopez, or Jodie Foster to play her in a movie I don’t care. Now, if the Vanessa Williams story gets made, and Eva Longoria gets cast -well LOOK out, black folks will be up in arms. Same as if they were casting Russell Wong as Tiger Woods. But culturally, if Marianne id’s with her countries of origin, which is NOT America as I understand it, and not so much a racial classfication - I doubt American black folk will care. I mean there are people in Egypt who look like they are African American, but they are not…in reality and genetically they are closer to Iman or Zahara in heritage, but they call themselves Arabic…if one of them came here, got famous and wanted Tony Shaloub to play them in a movie — black folks would not care one whit. Seriously.

do you all get prizes or something for being first, or 1500, or 2000. ‘Cause you all get so excited about that you would think it’s worth a million $ or something. seems pretty juvenile if you think about it. lol

Jolie adopts good lifeJanuary 17, 2005Real life is good for Angelina Jolie, but reel life is another matter, Phillip McCarthy reports from New York.When Angelina Jolie won her Oscar in 2000, for Girl Interrupted, it wasn’t just her acting that moved voters. Her portrayal of a disturbed hospital inmate also seemed vaguely like herself: dark, gorgeous, maybe a bit crazy. And that was before she married Billy Bob Thornton.If that imperative held true now, there might be a bit of Oscar revisionism going on. These days Jolie’s obvious award-grabber, for the way art can imitate a life, would have to be one of her two turns as action hero, Lara Croft. Just consider how she spent Christmas. Like a lot of Hollywood types, Jolie, 29, hung out at a Mediterranean hotspot. But it wasn’t St Tropez or Monte Carlo. It was Beirut where the word hotspot doesn’t actually refer to a gaggle of fellow celebs at a nightclub with velvet ropes.Lara Croft, fearless woman of action and worldwide troubleshooter, didn’t make Beirut on assignment in her two films. But she was always flouncing off to adventure spots such as Cambodia or Tanzania, with or without attractive male company, to save the planet.In her UN-sanctioned role as a sort of sexed-up Mother Teresa with lips, Jolie turns up at humanitarian flashpoints, too.If Jolie had some sort of epiphany - in which she morphed from Hollywood bad girl to can-do woman of the world - it occurred in 2001 when she was making the first Lara Croft movie in Cambodia. A year or two later she adopted her son, Maddox, 4, from a Cambodian orphanage. Now they mainly live in a Lara Croft-like base in the English countryside."I get a ridiculous amount of money for making a couple of movies a year," she says. "But I’m not really good at lying on a beach or spending days shopping. Going to Cambodia the first time was an eye opener. That’s why I was more than happy to leave Los Angeles when I got divorced. It’s not the best place for a balanced view of the world. The luxury of my position now, especially while my son is still young, is that we can educate ourselves about what life is like on most of this planet."As I get older, I want to be a stronger woman a smarter woman, more capable of doing anything in life.So she did Russian orphanages, Sudanese refugee camps, then her Christmas Day hospital gig in Lebanon.
