In 2009, people are still asking the question: “Where is Lauryn Hill?”
Well, in 1993, the question was more like “Who IS Lauryn Hill?” The world soon found out when the future Grammy-winning singer/rapper made her debut in Whoopi Goldberg’s hit Sister Act 2 (premiering on TV One Saturday at 8pm [ET]).
Check out little Lauryn as Rita, a girl who seems dead-set against learning or working with her new teacher. Wonder if she’ll change her tune?
When you think of Morris Chestnut, there may be several words that spring to mind:
RICKY!, Sexy chocolate, Great actor.
Pretty much no one ever says “bad buy.” That is, unless they’ve seen this scene from Half Past Dead (premiering Sat. at 8pm [ET]).
We bet Ricky would never shoot a clergyman in cold blood. No, Chestnut really did some stretching from his usual romantic comedy roles to play criminal mastermind 49erOne in Dead. But he’s not the only Hollywood good-guy-gone-bad. Blair Underwood, who’s played a lot of stand-up characters in films like Something New and Set It Off, has also showed his evil side in movies like Asunder and G.
