Daytime Emmy Awards Fashion



 

The 42nd annual Daytime Emmy Awards aired on Pop TV yesterday. The Pop network is a joint venture between CBS Corporation and Lions Gate. Check your cable network for the channel in your area. 

The show was filmed at Stage 16 of the Warner Brothers Studio in Burbank, California. There were many daytime TV celebrities in attendance. Here are a few of my picks for best dressed. First up is The Young and the Restless star Kelly Kruger in a plunging V-neck sequin gown.

  

Not everyone can get away with showing their midriff. But Kelli Goss can. The Young and the Restless actress looked great in her sparkling white springtime dress.

NBC's Days of Our Lives recently celebrated fifty years on TV. Cast member Alison Sweeney made my list in her navy vertical satin striped trumpet gown.

My favorite dress of the award show was worn by Bold and the Beautiful actress Linsey Godfrey. Her red beaded and shear dress with a train was designed by Paolo Sebastian.

 

The host this year was the gorgeous model, actress, author, and producer Tyra Banks. She is the host and judge for Next Top Model that has been on the air since 2003. I love her short haircut with her sassy black jumpsuit by designer Bryan Hearns.

If you missed the airing of the show, check the schedule on Pop TV for the rebroadcast.

Brotherly Love & Blackbird Movie Release Weekend

 

I am very excited about this weekend. Two wonderful coming of age movies will be released Friday April 24th. First up is Brotherly Love. It is the story of two siblings growing up in the rough neighborhood of west Philadelphia. One is a high school basketball superstar and his sister is an aspiring singer.



Brotherly Love stars KeKe Palmer who also sings on the soundtrack. The cast includes Eric D. Hill Jr., Romeo Miller, Malik Yoba, and Macy Gray. Sean P. Diddy Combs' son Quincy Brown makes his film debut in this movie.

 

Cory Hardrict plays the protective older brother of the two siblings. Queen Latifah's Flavor Unit produced the movie which was written and directed by Jamal Hill.

 



 

The movie Blackbird is based on the novel Blackbird by Larry Duplechan. It also opens this weekend, but by limited release. If you live in Atlanta, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., New York or San Francisco, you are among the lucky one to get to see the movie now.

It's the story of Randy who is a seventeen year old dealing with the issues in his life while living in a small town in Mississippi. His father has left, so he has to take care of his emotionally challenged mother. On top of that, he is a devout Christian who is confused about his sexuality.

 

Blackbird is the lead actor Julian Walker's movie debut. It also stars Mo'nique and Isaiah Washington as his parents. Mo'nique and her husband Sidney Hicks executive produced the film while Isaiah served as one of the producers. D. Woods acts as well as sings on the soundtrack. The script was written by Rikki Beadle Blair and Patrik-Ian Polk. Polk also directed the film.

 

 

I can't wait to get to see both films!

Brandy on Broadway!

Singer and actress Brandy Norwood can now add leading lady in the longest running musical on Broadway to her resume. Beginning April 28 - June 21 she will play Roxie Hart in Chicago at the Ambassador Theatre in New York. Brandy has been on several hit TV shows and movies such as The Game, Moesha and Cinderella. She also has nine albums under her belt that have led to a Grammy, American Music Awards, and Billboard Music Awards.

Chicago is the story of two rival females in Cook County Jail in the roaring twenties. Brandy's character Roxie is a nightclub entertainer who is arrested for killing her cheating husband. The show is full of lots of singing and dancing, so Brandy will be a wonderful addition to the cast.

You may remember when Catherine Zeta-Jones starred in the movie Chicago in 2002. But did you know that it was also a book by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse based off the play from the seventies?
