Daniel Craig To Join Halle Berry In 'Kings'

6/29/2016 0
Academy Award-winner Halle Berry may have found her leading man for 'Kings', the L.A. riots drama that will mark the highly-anticipated English-language debut of 'Mustang' director Deniz Gamze Erguven.

According to Deadline, Daniel Craig is in talks to play Ollie, one of the only white residents living in South Central that falls for Berry's character of a supportive single mother and helps her track down her kids once the violence of the riots begins to ensue.

The riots spread across L.A. and lasted six days, leading to 55 deaths in the wake of the acquittal of the policemen who beat Rodney King. The footage of that beating was infamously captured on home video and still stands as a symbol of police brutality. No start date has been set.

Craig is represented by Creative Artists Agency and Independent Talent Group, while Berry and Erguven are both represented by Creative Artists Agency and Management 360.

Beyoncé Wins CFDA Fashion Icon Award

6/09/2016 0


Global superstar Beyoncé was honored with the CFDA Fashion Icon Award at the 2016 CFDA Fashion Awards on Monday, June 6th, in a surprise announcement by CFDA president Diane von Furstenberg that did not come until the end of the show.

The 'Lemonade' songstress wore a glittering Givenchy tux for the occasion with a wide-brimmed hat and was joined on the red carpet by her husband Jay Z and their adorable daughter Blue Ivy, before she hit the stage to deliver a powerful speech. See what she had to say below:

"Thank you so much, Diane, for the things you just said about me. I feel so much love and I feel so proud. As long as I can remember, fashion has been part of my life. Its effect on me actually started before I was born. Many of you guys don’t know this, but my grandmother was a seamstress. My grandparents did not have enough money, they could not afford my mother’s Catholic school tuition. So my grandmother sewed clothes for the priests and the nuns and made uniforms for the students in exchange for my mother’s education. She then passed this gift onto my mother and taught her how to sew.

Starting out in Destiny’s Child, high-end labels didn’t really want to dress four black country curvy girls, and we couldn’t afford designer dresses and couture. My mother was rejected from every showroom in New York. But like my grandmother, she used her talent and her creativity to give her children their dreams. My mother and my uncle, God rest his soul, made all of our first costumes, individually sewing hundreds of crystals and pearls, putting so much passion and love into every small detail. When I wore these clothes I felt like Khaleesi. I had an extra suit of armor. It was so much deeper than any brand name.

My mother is fabulous and beautiful and she’s here tonight. My mother, my grandmother, and my uncle are always with me so I cannot fail. My mother actually designed my wedding dress, my prom dress, my first CFDA Award dress, my first Grammy dress, and the list goes on and on. And this to me is the true power and potential of fashion. It’s a tool for finding your own identity. It transcends style, and it’s a time capsule of all of our greatest milestones. So to my mother, my grandmother, my uncle, thank y’all. Thank you for showing me that having presence is about far more than the clothes you wear and your physical beauty. Thank you for showing me how to take risks, work hard, and live life on my own terms.

I want to say thank you to every designer who works tirelessly to make people think they can write their own story. Y’all are fairy godmothers, magicians, sculptors, and sometimes even our therapists. I encourage you to not forget this power you have or to take it lightly. We have the opportunity to contribute to a society where any girl can look at a billboard or magazine cover and see her own reflection. Soul has no color, no shape, no form. Just like all of your work, it goes far beyond what the eye can see. You have the power to change perception, to inspire and empower, and to show people how to embrace their complications, and see the flaws, and the true beauty and strength that’s inside all of us. Thank you so much for this incredible award, I’ll never forget this night. God bless you all. Thank you."
