Actress Gabrielle Union is having a good year, or at least as good as it gets for a Black actress these days. Few if any sistas are working and when they are it is usually in small supporting roles. Sanaa Lathan said in Essence Magazine she was “Happy to have found work this year” and a check of her IMDB page shows that besides a stint on Nip Tuck last year, the sista has not worked much over the last few years. The same can be said for Gabrielle whose IMDB page is just as sporadic and ill-fated as Sanaa’s. Gabby has had slightly better luck however, appearing in Tyler Perry’s “Daddy’s Little Girls”, earlier this year and now, “This Christmas”, which opens December 12th and sees Gabrielle paired with Morris Chestnut- for the fourth time.

And though ABC passed on the show for the 2007 season, the show has been picked up for the 2008-2009 season. Gabrielle will play a not so nice up and coming pop singer who latches herself onto Brian’s White’s character and gets on his mother’s (Holly) bad side in the process.

Gabrielle Union, Elizabeth Banks and Ed Helms have signed on to ride with Eddie Murphy on the 20th Century Fox comedy “Starship Dave.” The script centers on a spaceship that takes the form of a human, played by Oscar nominee Murphy. It’s manned by 100 human-looking, quarter-inch-tall aliens in search of a way to save their planet. But trouble arises when their captain, also played by Murphy, falls in love with an Earth woman who always picks losers to date. Union will play the chief cultural officer of the miniature crew. I wonder who then will play Eddie’s love interest?
