The couple with their new baby pose for an upcoming issue of OK! Magazine. This photo was spotted in the NY Post yesterday. You will have to wait for the issue to hit the newsstands to get your copy. I could not help but to check out the fist and knuckles on the little tyke. He is going to be a strong kid. Congrats to the lovely couple.
If you get your hands on a copy of the NY Post, there is a beautiful picture of Laila with her husband and their seven weeks old baby son. aaahhhh, and they named him Curtis Muhammed Conway, Jr. Laila is working out those endorsement deals. Here she is in a Palmer's Cocoa Butter Commercial. I just love the smell of the stuff.
Alas, in the world of modeling and talent it is fashionable to be average looking. I guess it always has been with UGLY London, a talent and modeling agency which has been in existence since 1969. UGLY states:
" In summer 2007 the Ugly brand landed in NY and provides advertisers with talent ranging from the bizarre to the beautiful, and everything in-between. Along with our already established roster and a steady stream of new faces, UGLY offers our clients an ever-changing opportunity to view talent from every walk of life."
So if you have been rejected by other agencies or have not been fortunate enough to be "discovered" by some agent while you were hand stone washing the laundry in some remote third world village, and you live within the NYC area or are within commuting distance, you can submit your talent application online. Best wishes!: http://www.uglyny.com/
I remember my parents playing his music on their 8 track tapes back in the early 70s.

R.I.P. Bernie Mac...you are one of my favorites, and that list is real short. I can see you looking down laughing at us right now.
8-11-8 update: Stan Lathan (Sanaa's dad) reflects on Bernie Mac in a Newsweek interview: 'He Killed Each Show'
70s and 80s singing sensation and native New Yorker Angela Bofill seems to be making some progress and according to her website www.angelabofill.com, she is able to walk with an assistive device. If you are saying "Angela who?" Don't worry. This is grown folk music...lol. There is contact information for any of her fans who want to send cards, donations, etc.:
Here she is singing her hit song "I Try". I love this song. There is a live version on YouTube. No lip synching. Makes me miss Phyllis Hyman (r.i.p.).
This story caught my interest, because I had not seen Jeffrey Wright since he did a phenomenal job playing the ghetto kingpin, Peoples Hernandez in the movie "Shaft" back in 2000. No man, since, has looked sexier, leaning out the window, with a plate of food, eating and talking smack.
Then I link to another site and see his mugshot, which resulted from an arrest at a Shreveport, LA bar this past Saturday night, due to a fight. He and Brolin were arrested along with crew members of Oliver Stone's film "W." Wright portrays General Colin Powell in the movie "W." Mugshots sure do bring out the worst in people. Nothing screams sexy about that photo.
