Candi’s Corner: Interview with Mr. Peabody & Sherman Director Rob Minkoff
Tinsel & Tine Intro: It’s nice having a staff, wish I could pay them, but at least when I can’t cover an interview or event, it’s fun to be able to send someone who I know will represent Tinsel & Tine as I would.

Throwing Produce is a Foodie Moment: Kevin Hart interview – RIDE ALONG
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor This was my first opportunity to come face to face with Philly’s own Kevin Hart! It took place at the red carpet premiere of Ride Along, his new buddy/action/cop comedy co-starring Ice Cube. Ride Along is directed by Tim Story (Barber Shop, Think Like A Man) it’s about a security guard, Ben (Kevin Hart) who’s in love with a really cute sistah (Tika Sumpter) and sister to police detective James Payton (Ice Cube). Payton thinks his sister could do much, much better than Ben, even though Ben just got his acceptance letter to join the police academy. This fact does give Payton the idea of…
