Debates rage over pics of ‘Nina Simone’ actress Zoe Saldana wearing nappy afro wig
Over the weekend I received angry emails from readers concerned about photos of actress Zoe Saldana wearing a nappy afro wig and dark makeup in her role as the late jazz singer Nina Simone.

Fans of Nina Simone have begun circulating a petition in hopes of garnering enough signatures to present to the filmmakers.
“Playing Nina Simone could be one of the more definitive roles as far as biopics go–it’s not that Saldana a talented actress, but it’s hard to imagine there isn’t another Black actress out there who couldn’t evoke a better Nina,” writes Hellobeautiful.com.

Rihanna’s friends spill the beans about her pregnancy
Pregnant singer Rihanna arrived at a Los Angeles recording studio at 2 a.m. wearing sweats and using her Gucci handbag to cover her tummy.
So far Rihanna and her camp have been tight-lipped about Rihanna’s bun in the oven — and for good reason. RiRi is reportedly very upset that word leaked about her pregnancy. She had planned to announce her pregnancy as part of the promotion for her new album. But those plans have been scrapped.
Instead, she and the baby’s father, Chris Brown, will make a “special announcement” after the album drops.
