Actress in controversial Islam movie files fresh suit

Los Angeles, AFP: An American actress who says she
was "duped" into appearing in the anti-Islam film that
has sparked outrage across the Muslim world, will take
further legal action after a first lawsuit was rejected, her
lawyer said Monday.
Cindy Lee Garcia, whose lawsuit demanding that
YouTube withdraw footage from "Innocence of Muslims"
was rejected by a Los Angeles judge last week, is taking
action for breach of copyright in federal court.
"They say in their own terms and guidelines that hate
speech (is) not allowed. How can this not be hate
speech? How can this not be wrong morally,
intellectually, legally?" her lawyer Cris Armenta told
NBC's Today show.
The lawyer said she would withdraw the state court
lawsuit. "But we are going to file again today in federal
court. My client has a copyright claim. We intend to
enforce it," she said.
Garcia herself reiterated that she thought she signed up
for a film called "Desert Warrior" about life 2,000 years
ago, and only realized her lines had been over-dubbed
when the row erupted with Muslim protests erupted this
month.
"I'm coming forward to clear my name because I was
duped," she said. "I was confused .. There were other
words that were put in my mouth. I was devastated."
Garcia is one of three actresses in the film to have come
forward claiming they were tricked into taking part in
the production since the explosion of violence in Muslim
countries in the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
In her initial lawsuit, filed last Wednesday, Garcia alleged
she has suffered severe emotional distress, financial
setbacks and the "destruction of her career and
reputation."
But Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Louis Lavin
refused her request for a restraining order to prevent
YouTube, a subsidiary of Google, from continuing to
show the 14-minute package of clips from the film.
The English version of the trailer, which has been
withdrawn from YouTube in a number of countries,
includes blatantly overdubbed parts of dialogue, and
Mohammed's name seems to have been added in post
production.
Garcia said she only saw four pages of script for the two
days she spent on set, and had no idea about the
movie's religious content. "No one spoke of the Muslim
faith, no one spoke of Muhammad. Nor would I do that,"
she said.

Cassie in hot shot for GQ magazine

Don't call it a comeback! We haven't seen Diddy's boo
Cassie (yes, Diddy finally claimed her on Twitter)
lately these days, but the half-shaved head singer is
back for a sultry spread in GQ's October Issue. Her
last album dropped in 2006, and she blames her delay

pop feel. She says she feels like a new artist in the
industry, and isn't concerned with being a blockbuster
hit:
On her popularity: "It would be awesome to stay
popular, but if I was only an underground artist, I
would be okay with that."

D.L. Hughley SaysPresident Obama’s Is Closer To Being A White Kid”

C-list comedian D.L. Hughley spoke out on how he
really feels about President Obama in a recent
interview with SiriusXM Radio. He says that the
President is too calm and intellectual when responding
to criticism.
In a recent interview on SiriusXM Radio with Ron
Bennington, comedian D.L. Hughley mocked how
Obama responds to criticism. He argues that
Obama's intellectual responses make him "closer to
being a white kid." Hughley also added thinks that
Obama needs to show more passion. Mediaite
reports:
In an interview with SiriusXM Satellite Radio's Ron
Bennington, comedian and former CNN host D.L.
Hughley criticized President Barack Obama for not
showing enough passion. Hughley said that Obama
tends to respond to criticism intellectually and is
"closer to being a white kid" in that respect.
However, Hughley says that Obama's calm
demeanor also results in a lack of enthusiasm from
the public in the election.
Hughley appeared on Bennington's interview
program, Unmasked, to promote his new book, I
Want You to Shut The F**k Up: How the Audacity of
Dopes is Ruining America.
So because he doesn't act a fool in the face of
scrutiny, he's not black enough? D.L. must reeeaaallly
need some more people to buy this book…
Do you agree with him?

Louis Farrakhan Speaks On Gun Violence

Nation of Islam leader, Louis Farrakhan was in New
York this week speaking on gun violence in the black
community.
He said:
"They are building prisons, and who are they for?
Not for the white man," he told an almost entirely
black crowd at the Van Dyke Houses in Brownsville,
Brooklyn. "Nobody cares about you. You are the
product of your former slave masters. You are not
as bad as you are acting. You ain't manufacturing no
guns, but you got some," the minister said in a
sermonic speech dubbed, "Stop the Killing. Your
people are being herded into a life-style — that is
going to jail."
Well aware of such violence that victimizes or is
perpetrated by blacks, or often times both,
Farrakhan's audience of some 200 people regularly
broke into loud cheers. Farrakhan's message that
blacks must look at themselves to stanch urban
violence echoed that of NYPD Commissioner
Raymond Kelly, who irritated some leaders and
elected officials in the black community this summer
when he called on black voices to speak out
forcefully gun violence.
"There should be outcry that 96% of the shooting
victims in this city are black or Latino," Kelly said in
July. "Most of them are young men. When you look
at it, at the end of the day, you sense there's
reasons as to why people are being killed. There
should be a huge outcry, but there isn't."
Farrakhan's sense of outrage over the consistent
violence within the black community was palpable,
and he said he was not done with his preaching.

Reggae Rapper Sean Paul Finally Speaks On Affair With Beyonce.

Did Sean Paul pon di BeyBey???
The reggae star caused the rumor mill to go into
overkill after he collaborated with Beyonce on their hit
number "Baby Boy" back in 2003 but failed to perform
the hit with the singer at the MTV VMAs.
Many speculated at the time that Jay-Z had a hand in
blocking the Dancehall singer from performing with
his now wife.
"It was not a big deal to me, but it really blew up into
crazy stuff." the Jamaican MC told sources.
"That's a rumor that started. I've known Jay-Z from
before I knew her," he added.
Continuing to deny the rumored beef, Sean also
recalled a time when he met up with Jay-Z in his Roc-
A-Fella office to seek advice on radio politics and the
business of publicity…
"The general public blew it up in certain things. I just
remained quiet about it for years because it was
doing its work. There was just a lot of controversy,"
he said.
Adding: "She's an amazing artist, the song was at
number1 for like nine weeks, so that was a very
special time for me and for dancehall."
So, did he make her wind it up and down or not?? We
see why Sean would never confirm or deny because
the only bad publicity is no publicity but we would have
loved to be a fly on the wall when he was dripping
some oxtails down her cakes.
Who else do you think has smashed and dashed
Ms.Carter?

Nadia Buari goes wild in abuja

Nadia Buari, the Ghanaian multi-talented actress who
imprinted her presence in people's hearts for her
sensational role in 'Beyonce' is a drop-dead gorgeous
whose beautiful façade and happy demeanour is well
known.
To imagine that charming, smiling face actress going
livid with anger is almost as alien as seeing a lark
busting into tears but the sexy mulatto did nearly got
out of turn last week in Abuja when a cab driver
reportedly played a fast one on her.
The story has it that the said cab driver, seeing that
Nadia is a Johnny-just-come, tried to gyp her by
inflating fares exorbitantly, not knowing that the
actress, as foreign as she looks, knows her way
around the capital city. An argument is said to have
ensued between the two over what should be a fair
fare for the journey.
"Early morning temptation-this cab driver wanted to
dupe me and not so much about the money, but its
just the principle and then he yelled and insulted me
when I declined" Nadia later confirmed the incidence
on her twitter account.
" Honest to God I felt like grappling and beating the
shit out of him(if I could), because instead of him to be
bucolic about it, he was rather yelling at me. Just had
to keep my cool and ignore him, because in the end
he wasn't worth my fury. Dear God, thank you for the
spirit of stoicism, because I would have hurt him" she
added.
