FEATURED PERSONALITY

VANESSA BELL-CALLOWAY

 

 

 

 

Interest: My interests are cooking, dancing, working out, writing, spending time with my girls and their friends and attending concerts with excellent seats courtesy 2 Down Front Entertainment.

Music: I like old music. I've always said that I am the oldest young person that I know. I love the big band sound sung by my girl Natalie Cole. I like several performers from my mother's generation. I also love Kenny &; Chanté when they sing their beautiful ballads. I'm a huge fan of Destiny Child, Kanyé West and Heather Headley.

Movies: I like old movies too. I love Imitation Of Life, the original one, The Bad Seed and anything with Susan Hayward in it. Forrest Gump is one of my all time favorites and "That's all I got to say about that".

Television: I don't watch a lot of TV. Can you imagine that, an actress that does not watch TV? Anyway, with children TV is not always a good option. I like Jeopardy, Wheel Of Fortune and I am a huge LOST fan!

Heroes: My heroes and sheroes are: My mother, of course. I love her for the woman she is and the woman she has helped me to become. My husband because he is so smart and loving, he pushes me to be better everyday. My daughters because they are so bright, brave, smarter than I was at their age, and powerful in their own right. My sister because she is incredibly smart and loving and all the strong, smart black women I have the privilege of calling my close sister friends.

Upcoming Event: Yes! The play that took LA by storm last year, THE DIVORCE, is back! I will recreate my starring role as Eva Owens and I do hope you can come out and support us on Saturday, July 12th at the Wilshire Ebell.

Save the date for Playboy's annual celebration of jazz and blues with a spectacular array of musical talents. This year marks the 30th Anniversary of the event that continues to bring the biggest names in jazz to the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. Since 1959 and his first Playboy Jazz Festival in Chicago, Playboy magazine Editor-in-Chief Hugh M. Hefner has brought outstanding performers such as jazz genius Ray Charles, George Benson, Chris Botti, Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald and singer Etta James to the stage. This year's 30th Anniversary concert in Los Angeles will be no different.

Congratulations

TAMIKA RENEE KENNEDY

Master of Business Administration

May 2008

 

Tamika Kennedy's "Story of Success" is encouragement for all single mothers.  You can reach your goals and aspirations, overcome hurdles and achieve your dreams.

*************************************

 

Tamika is a single parent of a 16 year old son, Dadrian who had decided after numerous attempts to actually focus on achieving her goal of completing her college education. Not only did she first achieve her Bachelor of Science in Business Administration in June 2006, she continued on to pursue her Master of Business Administration in which she recently graduated on May  2008. She has struggled the past six years raising her son, working full time while studying all hours of the night. She was inspired by her family ( Aaron and Linda Goodson), a host of very close friends and colleagues.

 

She prays that her achievements will be recognized by her son and encourage him “to reach for the stars.”

Many people are pleasantly surprised to find the best prices on a new Mercedes-Benz can be found in Beverly Hills. But no one is surprised by our exceptional service and convenience that quite frankly have no rival. Perhaps a few of the reasons why Mercedes-Benz of Beverly Hills was recently named a "Best-of-the-Best" dealer.

UNDERGROUND BUZZ

This hunky Actor is featured in a new hit movie. He should be happy, but he’s not because no one recognizes him. His recent plastic surgery jacked up his face.

 

In marriage, you often have to take the good with the bad. This Actor/Rapper is finding it hard to deal with his superstar wife. He loves the money and the spotlight, but he hates the fact that she loves to flirt with other men.

 

Who is this new Caribbean sensation named Michelle de Barry dating one of the hottest actors right now?
