The Atlanta screening of Tyler Perry’s new movie, ‘For Colored Girls’ took place last night at Atlantic Station.
By the way, did you guys hear political comedian Jon Stewart refer to black people as ‘colored’ during his political rally in Washington DC last week? Expect to hear a lot more of that once this movie hits theaters.
Among the local celebs attending the Atlanta premiere were singer Neyo and his expectant fiancée Monyetta Shaw; singer/songwriter Donnell Jones, ATL socialite Lisa Wu Hartwell, hairstylist Derek J, actresses Jasmine Guy and Terri Vaughn; MLK’s daughter Pastor Bernice King, comedian Rodney Perry, executive producer Roger Bobb

Speaking of singer Neyo and his fiancée Monyetta Shaw: Ne-Yo is throwing her a private baby shower next week. I hear the Glitterati will be invited to the shower, which takes place on the same weekend that the Soul Train Awards will be in town.
Here’s celebrity blogger Tami Reed‘s review of ‘For Colored Girls’:
Janet Jackson plays Joanna, a stoned faced workaholic that has no compassion for others. She’s married to a very handsome guy but she got more than she bargained for with him. Major side eye!
Loretta Devine plays Juanita. She gave the film a breath of fresh air and was funny. She dates Frank and he’s a mess, that keeps coming in and out of her life. It’s hard for her to let him go.
Thandie Newton plays Tangie who got on my last nerves. She uses her body and beauty to lure men and then uses them and disposes of them like garbage. She’s very mean spirited and cares about only her and her needs.
Phylicia Rashad plays Gilda the nosey neighbor and manager of the apartment building where some of the other ladies live. She’s a loving and caring neighbor but can be a bit intrusive at times.
Anika Noni Rose plays Yasmine a beautiful dancer with big dreams. My heart went out to her. She had no idea that the world could be so cruel. She’s the girl that just wants to be a princess and find her prince. Her dreams are shattered for sure after her date from hell! He got what was coming to him!
Whoopi Goldberg plays Alice a very delusional character who’s a religious nut. She’s a hoarder with mental issues as well. She has two daughters that she loves but treats differently.
