NEW MOVIE TRAILER: 'SOUL MEN' STARRING SAMUEL L. JACKSON & THE LATE BERNIE MAC.

Dimension Films has released the official trailer of Soul Men starring Samuel L. Jackson and the late Bernie Mac with a special guest appearance by Isaac Hayes, who died one day after Mac. Soul Men tells the tale of two estranged soul singers, played by Sam and Bernie, who are also surviving members of a popular 70s band called The Real Deal. The two bickering bandmates reunite before taking a road trip to the Apollo Theater in Harlem to perform a musical tribute to their recently deceased band leader. Although Bernie's not here to see his movie, Jackson says it would have cemented Bernie's reputation as a bona fide film star. "He's awesome in the film. I saw it a week before he passed. I was talking to his manager, who said he never got a chance to see it. That's a tragedy because it's one of the best things he's ever done. It's the Bernie we know and it's the Bernie we love."Jackson warns Mac Man fans that the funnyman looks a little ill in the movie: "Bernie was thinner because he'd been sick off and on for a while, so he wasn't that (American) football-looking guy that I used to know, but his performance was phenomenal. He would've been so proud."

MOVIE TRAILER: TYLER PERRY'S 'THE FAMILY THAT PREYS' STARRING ALFRE WOODARD, SANAA LATHAN, ROCKMOND DUNBAR, TARAJI HENSON, ROBIN GIVENS....

Academy Award®-winner Kathy Bates and Academy Award®-nominee Alfre Woodard star as the matriarchs of two very different families being torn apart by greed and scandal in the contemporary drama Tyler Perry's The Family that Preys. The sixth feature film by Perry chronicles the inner workings of two families—one upper-crust and the other working class—that become inextricably linked by scandal. Wealthy socialite Charlotte Cartwright (Kathy Bates) and her dear friend Alice Pratt (Alfre Woodard), a working class woman of high ideals, have enjoyed a lasting friendship throughout many years. Suddenly, their lives become mired in turmoil as their adult children’s extramarital affairs, unethical business practices and a dark paternity secret threaten to derail family fortunes and unravel the lives of all involved. Alice’s self-centered newlywed daughter Andrea (Sanaa Lathan) is betraying her trusting husband Chris (Rockmond Dunbar) by engaging in a torrid affair with her boss and mother’s best friend’s son William (Cole Hauser). While cheating on his wife Jillian (Kadee Strickland) with a string of ongoing dalliances with his mistress Andrea, William’s true focus is to replace the COO of his mother’s lucrative construction corporation. Meanwhile, Alice’s other daughter Pam (Taraji Henson), a kind but no nonsense woman married to a hard working construction worker (Tyler Perry), tries to steer the family in a more positive direction.

While paternity secrets, marital infidelity, greed and unsavory business dealings threaten to derail both families, Charlotte and Alice decide to take a breather from it all by making a cross-country road trip in which they rediscover themselves and possibly find a way to save their families from ruin. Tyler Perry's The Family that Preys opens nationwide in theaters on September 12, 2008 and is also Perry's first film with a prominent storyline involving white characters.

NEW CANDIDS: THE ROCK WITH HIS NEW GIRLFRIEND; VANESSA WILLIAMS ON 'HANNAH MONTANA' MOVIE SET; MYA IN BARBADOS + NEW MOVIE, ALBUM NEWS.

Actress Vanessa Williams was spotted filming on location for Hannah Montana: The Movie in Malibu, California. The movie is due for release in 2009.

=================

Recently divorced Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson was spotted leaving the exclusive restaurant ZUMA in Londons Knightsbridge with his girlfriend, who bares a strong resemblance to his ex-wife. Sources say the wrestler-turned-actor and his new boo enjoyed each other's company for about an hour and a half before leaving the eatery....with a big ass toothy-grin plastered on his face! That's the grin of a very happy man in love. So uh, who wants to break what could be really heartbreaking news to The Rock's crush, Rozonda 'Chilli' Thomas of TLC? Bless her heart.

=================

Although we haven't heard or seen much of Ms. Mya as of late, it doesn't mean the singer/actress has been spending her of idle time twiddling her thumbs or frolicking on the beaches of Barbados in a hot pink halter-style bikini as shown in the photos below taken last weekend. The singer had been in the Caribbean to attend a charity event, which she never showed up to due to issues beyond her control. Last May I told you all that Mya had broken her foot thereby postponing her Broadway debut in the musical Chicago. Fortunately, the singer has made a speedy recovery and has underwent physical therapy, according to her manager. She is now in dance rehearsals for Chicago. Her manager also said that fans could possibly hear a new album from Mya as early as this fall. Now, that I will have to see to believe. Too many false starts. On the movie front, Mya has just wrapped filming on Love for Sale; a comedy/drama where she plays the lead female role of Keiley. The film was written/produced by syndicated radio show host Russ Parr and also stars Jackie Long, Jason Weaver, Melyssa Ford, Essence Atkins, Big Daddy Kane and Clifton Powell. Watch the Love for Sale movie trailer here.
