    Clary and Jace in Philly – The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones Interviews

    August 17, 2013 /

    I got a chance to meet the two leads and the author from the upcoming movie The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones – Lily Collins, Jamie Campbell Bower and Cassandra Clare. This is the latest in young adult fantasy fiction to capture the imaginations of those who long for a world of magic, monsters and mortal danger.  In 2007 author Cassandra Clare introduced young adult readers to the reluctant warrior, Clary Fray (Collins), in The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, the first entry in what would become a fantasy-adventure empire. In Clare’s carefully constructed magical world, a young woman finds herself surrounded by warlocks, vampires, werewolves, demons—and the mysterious Shadowhunters,…

    The Happy Sad – LeRoy McClain Interview

    August 17, 2013 /

    So here’s yet another coincidence,  I saw the film The Happy Sad during QFEST (Philly’s LGBT film festival) and went to the after party, where I talked to one of the stars of the movie LeRoy McClain.  I remember thinking, I should be interviewing him, but it’s too loud in here and I’m sure he just wants to chill right now.  I started to give him my card and ask him to contact me later for an interview, but I let the moment pass.  Skip to a month later, my sister Lauren who’s a Media & Cultural Trend Analyst (see website), happens to socially meet Timothy Yates who runs public…

    The Rittenhouse Hotel Interview – Lee Daniels & Cuba Gooding, Jr: LEE DANIELS’ THE BUTLER

    August 11, 2013 /

    by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor Since April, anxiety has been my constant companion. I’ve been out of work and living on my savings, trying to figure out how to make what I love, writing this blog and the social media aspects of it, what I do.  I’m no closer to figuring it all out, but sometimes you get a sign from the Universe that says you’re on the right track, keep going! That sign came in the form of an email from Allied-THA which asked me if I’d want to interview director Lee Daniels, actor Cuba Gooding, Jr and actress Yaya Alafia at the swanky Rittenhouse Hotel, to discuss Lee…

    The Library Bar Interview: YAYA DACOSTA (Big Words) (Lee Daniels’ The Butler)

    August 11, 2013 /

    By Le Anne Lindsay, Editor In my We’re the Millers post, I talked about the coincidence of the same things crossing your path from different places.  I feel that way when it comes to this beautiful America’s Next Top Model turned actress, who is steadily making a name for herself in the biz – Yaya Alafia – although that name has changed from DaCosta to Alafia with her marriage to filmmaker Joshua Bee Alafia last June.  The couple is happily expecting their first child. I first took note of Yaya in my post on the movie The Kids Are All Right (2010). And although she’d been in Take the Lead…
