“Mmmm….dooonuts.” The phrase could very well be the opener to the much anticipated 2-D animated movie “The Simpsons.” The crap thing about teasers is just that, they tease the senses. In this case, the eyes. Maybe the taste buds (see yummy pink donut with sprinkles). The tease will not be quenched till 7/27/07.

You’ve seen the “My Life, My Card” print and television ads of celebrities answering a clever questionnaire created by the most elite of credit card companies, American Express. Notables such as writer/director M. Night Shyamalan, golf phenom Tiger Woods, token Asian actor Ken Watanabe (Memoirs of a Geisha, The Last Samurai) and even lesbian Ellen DeGeneres have all given their two cents of cash back to let the world in on their favorite movies, fondest memories, and inspirations. For instance Shyamalan’s biggest challenge was “not letting [his] work make [him] unhappy.” I don’t know about him, but if I directed Lady in the Water, I’d be snorting Zoloft through a roll of ecstasy just to crack a smile. In addition to M. Night’s ad, Blasian Tiger Woods had some meaningful responses. Here’s his full answer list:

How touching. Oddly enough the credit card that’s accepted at most “whites only” establishments failed to publish a number of celebrity surveys. Why? We believe they were too damn honest. Our C&V CFO called AmEx to 1) contest charges for suggestive DVDs from fun-with-goats.com and to 2) get a hold of the unreleased candid questionnaires. Here they are for your enjoyement. It’s a shame they didn’t use these…

All the stars of black Hollywood came out to celebrate the 2nd Annual Black Movie Awards in Los Angeles. Writer, director, and actor Tyler Perry, “Diary of a Mad Black Woman,” hosted the 90-minute show that honored the African-American film community.
Akeelah & the Bee took home 4 awards, including the award for Outstanding Motion Picture of the Year. Laurence Fishburne and Angela Bassett both won for Outstanding Actor / Actress in a Supporting Role. Of course the film was nothing without leading lady, actually teenager, Keke Palmer who walked away with a BMA for Outstanding Actress in a Leading Role.
Legendary actress Cicely Tyson was presented the Distinguished Career Achievement Award by no other than the legend herself, Oprah Winfrey. Yes—gal pal Gayle King was there. She watched this momentous occasion from the audience.

But all the excitement started way before the show even began. Fans cheered the actors and actresses as they walked down the red carpet. Some ditched their dates and came with family instead. Tracee Ellis Ross of “Girlfriends” arrived with her kid brother, Evan, and Mario Van Peebles showed up with his legendary dad, both sons, and his adorable little girl.
Age has been good to Billy Dee Williams. He looked as handsome as ever in his dark suit and he still had all his hair.

Reality queen Omarosa and comedian Monique garnered attention for different reasons. Omarosa let her boobs do the talking while Monique let the hairs on her legs do the pointing.


And then of course what would stars be without their fans. One crazy woman jumped onto the red carpet and had a reporter take a picture of her with “ATL” actress Megan Good.

Still, the night turned out to be a success. Until next year.
