MCDREAMY TO SEXUALLY HAVE BRIDGET JONES THRICE.

ZOE SALDANA IS READY FOR AN OSCAR NOD -AS NINA SIMONE!

RLJ Entertainment (NASDAQ: RLJE), founded by Robert L. Johnson, RLJE Chairman and Founder of Black Entertainment Television (BET) has acquired all North American rights to the highly anticipated film NINA, based on the life of legendary American singer-songwriter Nina Simone. With first time writer-director Cynthia Mort, the film stars Zoe Saldana (Avatar, Guardians of the Galaxy) and David Oyelowo (Selma, The Butler). NINA will be released in theaters in December 2015 under the RLJ Entertainment brand. RLJ Entertainment previously released its theatrical titles under the Image Entertainment brand, which RLJ Entertainment purchased in 2012.

"I am very excited that RLJ Entertainment will be distributing Nina Simone's biopic with the tremendous talent involved including Zoe Saldana and David Oyelowo," said Johnson. "I had the special privilege early in my career of working with Ms. Simone while coordinating a performance for former D.C. Delegate Walter E. Fauntroy and knowing first-hand of her major contribution to the soul and emotion of the Civil Rights Movement. I look forward as I am sure many others will, to her story and legacy being made available by RLJ Entertainment to consumers on various media platforms in the coming months."

"Robert Johnson is passionate about this film and he is passionate about Nina Simone, so we are excited to be in business with him," said producer Ben Latham-Jones. "We believe he can bring the powerful performances of Zoe and David to as wide an audience as possible."

NINA traces the career of legendary American singer-songwriter and civil rights activist, Nina Simone (Saldana). The story follows her struggle to balance music, family and what she believes in, which leaves her living alone in France feeling exiled from her own country. That is, until she meets Clifton Henderson (Oyelowo) who helps the high priestess of soul rediscover meaning in her life and music, and to once again embrace America. NINA reflects both her and the people she gave voice to in both their searches for redemption and hope in America during the 1960's.

Nina Simone is unarguably one of the great vocalists of the 20^thCentury; a 15-time Grammy nominee, she received the Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 2000. Nina's versions of 'My Baby Just Cares For Me' and 'Feeling Good' have become standards, featuring in advertising and jazz compilations, and frequently covered by other artists. Her versions of such classics as 'I Put a Spell on You,' 'Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood,' 'Lilac Wine,' 'Ain't Got No, I Got Life' and 'Wild is the Wind' have become the definitive versions.
Nina's strong involvement in the Civil Rights Movement brought out the talented songwriter in her. While 'To Be Young Gifted and Black' is probably her best-known composition, and was subsequently covered by Aretha Franklin, Donny Hathaway, Bob and Marcia (whose cover was a U.K. top five hit) amongst others, she also wrote many other songs including 'Mississippi Goddam' and 'Four Women.'

NINA was produced by Barnaby Thompson (The Importance of Being Earnest), Ben Latham-Jones (Kids in Love), Stuart Parr (Get Rich or Die Tryin') and Cynthia Mort (The Brave One) and executive produced by Pierre Lagrange (Kick-Ass), Allison Sarofim (Lake City), Aigerim Jakisheva (Kids in Love), Zoe Saldana, David Oyelowo, James Spring (Burke and Hare), Gene Kirkwood (Rocky), Lauren Lloyd (Cellular) and Paul Rosenberg (Southpaw).

RLJ Entertainment executives Mark Ward, Chief Acquisitions Officer and Angela Northington, SVP, Content Acquisitions negotiated the deal with ICM Partners behalf of the filmmakers.
Recent RLJ Entertainment releases include The Rewrite with Hugh Grant and Marisa Tomei, and written and directed by Marc Lawrence; The Cobbler with Adam Sandler, Cliff "Method Man" Smith, Ellen Barkin, Melonie Diaz, Dan Stevens, Steve Buscemi, and Dascha Polanco, and written and directed by Tom McCarthy; and Blackbird Based on the same title novel by Larry Duplechan stars Academy Award® winning actress and comedian Mo'Nique (Precious), Isaiah Washington (Grey's Anatomy),and introduces breakthrough actor Julian Walker and directed by Patrik-Ian Polk (Noah's Arc, The Skinny).

CELEBRITY HOMOPHOBIA: DUSTIN DIAMOND.

Like most people, I have NO desire- to meet a ugly, white trash, bigoted uber washed-up loser, like Dustin Diamond. Beyond the two times, I was FORCED to interact with...this piece of shit, that sprang from Seth Rogen's ass (when he was a kid.)

The first time, when I finished coming home from work and I had to cut across the back alley of the Santa Monica Promenade. A frequent option for many to reach the buses, on Wilshire Bl. about three blocks away. I suddenly hear a highly, dorky, voice scream "Faggot!" several times. I look up I DON'T recognize- the homely, pale face with a Jewish Afro (?). He goes on-OBSESSED about my sexuality, as I try to ignore this liar and walk through. He talks about me, like we were lovers and I NEVER met him.

Then, eight years later (August 22, 2015 after 9pm) I'm waiting outside an office building,  quietly waiting to leave the Century City Plaza, back to L.A. As I'm writing down some notes- at a news stand, I hear nasty, loud, obnoxious, laughter from Diamond and his chubby, frumpy, little person bitch. I assume that is Amanda Schutz- the skank that was apart, of his jailed, four month stabbing incident. 

Both are dressed like, they finished working a Pop Warner football game. For a while, I continue not to recognize the 90s super nerd.

At first, I tried to ignore them. Then, they got even louder- forcing me to look over. That's when Diamond starts pointing at me. THIS goes for over a minute. Finally I say: "You laugh like a nerd." The laughter stops in shock, for about 30 seconds. Then, the laughter starts again, then the fake Diamond stated "Considering your Race, I take that as a compliment." Next, his girl-fiend started to talk to him, as if the last few minutes hadn't happened.

About five minutes later, I had to walk near them- to get the wi-fi to work. Then, the Dustin's sow of a girlfriend, then turns back toward me and said "Faggot" and he laughs in agreement. I said, "Your evil and white...You're dressed as failed referees." Again, they stopped talking.

A few minutes later, they keep talking...very lowly. After another few minutes, The whore clown (her actual last job) repeated her "Faggot" remark.

At that point, I cocked my weapon that I had very LOUDLY. I stand there another 10 minutes, they are silent. Then I walk away, after decided they are NOT worth going to jail over. I COULD (more like should) have shot them (in the back of their heads) for their lies and bullying attitude toward me. The reason I didn't attack them, was because I realized they may have trying to goad and stab me, like the recent incident the got Diamond hard... time.

Finally, the Culver City Crosstown bus arrived and The bigoted losers got on and left.
