Nia Long Experiencing 'Rebirth' After Motherhood
10 May 2012 2:56 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Actress Nia Long has experienced a "rebirth" since becoming a mum again last year, insisting she's the happiest she's ever been.
The Big Momma's House star welcomed her second child, a son named Kez, with her basketball player boyfriend Ime Udoka in November and Long believes motherhood has given her a new lease of life.
She tells TheUrbanDaily.com, "I am the happiest that I've been probably in my life.
"Baby Kez Sunday has given me a bit of a rebirth and it's really nice because I'm able to look at life through his eyes. You have to pay attention to the smallest thing from the birds chirping to the dog barking across the street. These are the things that make the world go around today. When you look at life in its simplest form, stress and worry isn't (sic) the cornerstones of your life. Experiencing life through that lens is refreshing."
Long has been on a career break since wrapping her last project, a 2011 drama called Mooz-lum, and she admits she's in no rush to return to work - but her eldest son Massai has other ideas for his mum.
She says, "My 11-year-old is running the show. He's like 'Mum, when are you making another movie?' I'm a true believer that good work finds you and I hope that I've established enough of a career of myself that when they want Nia Long they'll find Nia Long."
Massai is Long's child from a previous relationship with actor Massai Z. Dorsey. »

What a drag: the death of the cross-dressing movie
27 January 2012 9:52 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
As Adam Sandler dons skirt, wig and, yes, even a pair of melons for his latest movie, Jack and Jill, is this the moment when crass cross-dressing films finally dies?
Adam Sandler's latest comedy is shallow, scatological, lazy, crass and brazenly commercial. That's not news. But Jack and Jill may also mark something more significant: the moment when cinematic cross-dressing officially stops being funny. Sandler plays both twins of the title, and his Jill is pretty much what you would fear: just a screechingly irritating man in bad drag. Jill pulls lumps of wax out of her ears, leaves big sweaty patches on the bed, and defecates noisily after eating Mexican food. It's funny because it's a woman doing it, you see? If you had to identify the exact second of comic death, it would probably come at the close of a scene in which Jack disguises himself as Jill (so, »

The strange or ill-advised movie sequels that never were
24 January 2012 6:58 AM, PST | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
A psychic Morgan Freeman. Jessica Rabbit kidnapped by Nazis. We look back at a few strange movie sequels that were never made…
The multi-million dollar success of any movie will inevitably leave Hollywood executives clamouring for a sequel. And while there are plenty of movies whose stories are open-ended enough to warrant a return to the creative well, there are many times when coming up with a sequel idea requires all sorts of imaginative leaps.
Which brings us to this list, which is devoted to a few of the weirder sequel ideas that never made it to the big screen…
Close Encounters Of The Third Kind
Spielberg’s wish-fulfilment fantasy of UFOs, mashed potato mountains and alien abduction was an unexpectedly huge hit for Columbia Pictures in 1977, and naturally enough, it wanted a sequel. Unenthusiastic about making one, but anxious that a sequel might be made without him (as had »

CBS is developing two sitcom pilots for comedian Martin Lawrence. It was first reported in August last year that the Big Momma's House star was considering a return to television. The first project, from The Bernie Mac Show creator Larry Wilmore, would see Lawrence play a single man who becomes a foster parent to a group of children, according to TV Guide. The second script has been devised by Rules of Engagement creator Tom Hertz. In it, Bad Boys actor Lawrence would play a family man who clashes with his wealthy in-laws and works to keep his kids grounded. Only one of the projects is (more) »
