eyeWatch: "Whip My Hair"

Posted by ♥ t i f f a n y at 5:44 PM
Willow Smith, no stranger to the entertainment industry, is declaring that she is a true artist. In more ways then one, Willow brightens up a room with her style, personality and wit in her first video for her single "Whip My Hair", directed by Ray Kay. The nine-year-old took things a step further from the usual painting the town red cliché. Instead, the Roc Nation signee whips her hair enough to add life to her bland classmates. The video features lot of color, wild hairdos, stellar, yet youthful fashion, and a cameo from her big brother, Jaden Smith.

Jada Pinkett Smith vs. Corinne Bailey Rae

Sparkling stars! Jada stepped out in this silk organza sequined asymmetric Stella McCartney A/W 2010 mini. number first, oozing elegance as she took to the red carpet for the Karate Kid London premiere on July 15th.
The stylish star wore classic Brian Atwood platforms, a pewter clutch and chic high ponytail for the ultimate touch of panache.
Ms. Bailey-Rae followed suit and wore her paillette beauty with a pink pout to the Barclaycard Mercury Music Prize Awards on September 7th.
Jada opted out of the organza overlay which was worn on the runway, whereas Corinne braved the original outfit, topping off her look with glimmering silver sandals and an award to match.

eyeApplaud, A Recap of the Tony Awards

Posted by KareemaBee at 10:08 AM
The 64th Annual Tony Awards is perhaps the most important night for Broadway, highlighting excellence in various categories of theatre. The event took place last Sunday at Radio City Music Hall with host, Sean Hayes. Other winners included Memphis for Best Musical, and John Logan's drama Red, for Best Play.

Fences is a play by August Wilson set in 1950-60's Pittsburgh, and follows the struggle of a former Negro League baseball player, Troy Maxson, who becomes a garbage collector. The first time this play was staged, it earned a Tony Award for Best Play as well as a Best Leading Actor award for James Earl Jones, Best Featured Actress for Mary Alice, Best Direction for Lloyd Richards and the 1987 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

I didn’t get to see this but I have read August Wilson’s plays, and it is no wonder how much recognition this man has received as a playwright. Fences is only one of ten plays that Wilson wrote to document a different decade of the African-American culture during the 20th century. Wilson is the only African-American playwright to have a Broadway theatre in his name. His work has accomplishment written all over it.

Fela is a play by Jim Lewis and Bill T. Jones that chronicles the life of Nigerian musician, Fela Juti, and how his sound influenced the nation. First-time theatre producers, Will & Jada Smith were attached to this project as well as Jay-Z and Beyoncé.

I saw this play, and let me tell you, 'Best Choreography' is an understatement! Every move is deeply African, and it is rich with fluid arm movement, and high jumps. During the production, the lead actor allows the audience to share in on the experience as well by teaching how to rotate your hips in a clockwise motion - a nice way to feel like you can dance too.

Willow Smith Makes TV Debut

Posted by ♥ t i f f a n y at 12:00 PM
LOS ANGELES, (UPI) -- Willow Smith, the 8-year-old daughter of Hollywood Stars Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, has signed up to make her television debut, Nickelodeon announced.

The child actress, who has appeared in the movies "I Am Legend" and "Kit Kittredge: An American Girl," will appear in a special one-hour episode of Nickelodeon's comedy series "True Jackson, VP," which is to air July 25, the network said.

Willow will play a younger version of the show's title character in flashback scenes. The older True, who is the teenage head of the youth division of a major fashion label, is played by Keke Palmer.

"I get my style ideas from 'True Jackson, VP,'" Willow said in a statement. "If I had my own fashion company, I would call it 'Willow's Reign.'"

"After seeing True mostly in the office, it is fun to see another side of her life. Most kids don't have dual lives as vice presidents and high school students, so True's comic dilemma is how to balance both. She faces this crisis with lots of comedy and her usual flair," added Marjorie Cohn, Nickelodeon's executive vice president of development and original programming. "Willow Smith is fantastic playing the young True and was able to channel Keke's energy yet put her own signature on it."

I think that this family is filled with talent. It amazes me how families breed talent. For instance, you know when you go to church and the preacher's daughter sings and the sons plays every instrument? Well that's how I see the Smith family. Jada and Will are actors and their children are following their footsteps. Do you guys watch this show? What do you think about Willow following her parents?
