Originally predicted for an $8 million debut, 'Jumping the Broom', surpassed early industry projections by grossing an impressive $15.2 million, placing the film in No.3 spot behind 'Thor' ($65.7 mill) and 'Fast Five' (32.4 mill).

'Jumping the Broom' actress Paula Patton appeared on 'Chelsea Lately', where she talked about the movie and getting back to work post-baby.

Leading lady Paula Patton and her 'Jumping the Broom' co-stars front the May 2011 issue of Ebony.

The film, which hits theaters on May 6th, also stars Laz Alonso, Angela Bassett and Loretta Devine.

Produced by Bishop T.D. Jakes, the film is described as the perfect mix of all the twists that come with bringing together families from different worlds.

The list also includes model/host Tyra Banks, singer Alicia Keys and “Deja Vu” star Paula Patton. There are other categories, such as “sexiest athletes” and “sexiest sense of style.” Michelle Obama, wife of Sen. Barack Obama, receives a special mention for “quintessential complete package.” Wouldn’t you like to know what she thinks of that? “TV One Access” didn’t mention Oprah Winfrey — proving that you can’t be on every list. But wait … “The women selected as our 16 sexiest black women aren’t just pretty faces,” said Monique Chenault, senior producer of “TV One Access.” “Each one of them is uniquely talented, strong-minded and self-assured. Now what could be sexier than that?” Is strong-minded and self-assured are the keys, where’s Oprah?
