Brown Sista

Actress and soon to be Executive Producer, Gabrielle Union, was spotted over the weekend coming and going from the Byron & Tracey Salon in Beverly Hills, California. Gabby has been in the news a lot this week as reports say the actress will file suit against the blog that published what she says are false claims about her. Never a fan of urban blogs, Gabrielle has rallied against them numerous times- most recently in Essence Magazine and again in an interview with Kevin Frazier of Entertainment Tonight.

First, let me start by saying I don’t for one minute believe the rumors that have been spread online about Gabrielle Union. The notion that the thirty-seven year old actress is constantly on the prowl for other women’s men just does not ring true with me. Having said that, I can’t help but laugh and find it ironic that Gabrielle is playing a man stealer in her new series, The CW mid-season replacement, The Body Politic. A preview of the new show has been released and Gabrielle’s storyline definitely seems the most interesting.

One of my favorite Brown Sista actresses, Gabrielle Union, was spotted earlier this week dining at the exclusive reservations only restaurant inside the Château Marmont Hotel. Gabrielle recently made her return to the small screen on the now canceled NBC series “Life” and was recently cast to play Jessica Sharp, Brain Austin Green’s girlfriend, in the new CW pilot, The Body Politic. The bronze beauty is also rumored to be joining Ving Rhames in the upcoming film The Van Zandt Shakedown.

Finally ! I have had this pic (right) of Gabrielle Union for about six months now and I have been waiting for just the right moment to use it. Look at Gabby. She is like “Oh no she didn’t”. Girlfriend is giving off much attitude and once again it is aimed at the blogs. Apparently the sista is ticked off that rumors of her being pregnant with Dwayne Wade’s child have gone mainstream. The Chicago Sun Times, taking the word of a gossip blog (lol), actually printed that the sista was 37 and pregnant. Gabby then took to radio personality Egypt’s blog to dispel the rumor- both of them. Not only does the sista deny the pregnancy rumor- but Egypt let’s us know Gabby is a mere 36, not 37 as the daily reported.

Gabby is scheduled for a multi-episode arc- much like what she did on last season’s “Ugly Betty”. On “Life” Gabrielle will once again be playing a police officer- a role she is quite familiar with. Few people know the actress also played an officer of the law on the short lived “Night Stalker” series that ran on the USA cable network from 2005-2006. You can check out Gabby in her new role as Detective Jane Seever on Wednesday nights at 9pm EST.

Actress Gabrielle Union traveled to Ghana recently as part of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure’s mission delegation trip designed to help reduce the rate of breast cancer among women in the country. She also joined Ghana President John Kufuor for a dedication ceremony at the new HopeXchange Medical Center, a state-of-the-art breast cancer diagnostic and treatment facility in Kumasi. Nearly 70 percent of all Ghanaian women who have breast cancer don’t see a doctor until the disease is in advanced stages. Essence spoke to Union about her trip abroad, how breast cancer has affected her own life, and why this issue is so important to her.

Actress Gabrielle Union, TV One’s runner-up for the title of Sexiest Black Woman Alive, was spotted last night in Hollywood taking in the premiere of her new new “Meet Dave”. In the film Gabrielle plays one of several little people who operate an alien spaceship that resembles a human (Eddie). Gabrielle is the “Cultural Officer” and somehow the ship, Dave, becomes smitten with an Earth (white) woman (Elizabeth Banks) and blah blah blah. Meet Dave looks like it will suck monkey balls but the fact that this big black alien space craft comes to Earth and falls in love with a white woman is just too much for me to bear. Who thinks of this garbage and why do Black actors just go along with it? Stupid looking film or not- shouldn’t Elizabeth and Gabrielle’s roles been reversed?
