Our girl Erykah Badu popped up at the Sundance Film Festival to screen her new film The Land AND to rock the stage with Nas. Meanwhile, Marjorie Harvey is making several wardrobe changes as she hits the Parisian streets for Fashion Week. More inside….
Soulful songstress Erykah Badu is flexing her acting chops in a new film titled The Land. The indie drama, directed by Steve Caple Jr, stars Ms. Badu and it tells the story of four teenage boys who devote their summer to escaping the streets of Cleveland, Ohio to pursue a dream life of professional skateboarding. Unfortunately, they get caught up in a drug operation. The film also stars former "The Wire" actor Michael K. Williams and rapper Machine Gun Kelly.
Before last night's screening, none other than Fat Belly Bella herself treated festivalgoers to a special performance.
Check it:
And here's another surprise:
The sexiness that is Nas, who is an executive producer for The Land, hopped on the mic to spit a few bars. The Queensbridge rapper also produced the movie's soundtrack.
Peep a clip from his set below:
Elsewhere at Sundance....
Socially conscious YBF actress Amandla Stenberg is still making her rounds at the film festival. She hit up Glamour's Women Rewriting Hollywood Luncheon yesterday. Cute look.
The YBF teen then changed clothes (loving that coat!) to attend the As You Are premiere held at the Library Center Theater. Amandla stars in the 90s-based film that tells the story of a relationship between three teenagers as it traces the course of their friendship through a construction of disparate memories prompted by a police investigation.
Iconic actor Danny Glover has been making his rounds at the film festival. Yesterday, the 69-year-old actor popped up on the carpet for the premiere of his new film Mr. Pig at the Eccles Center Theatre.
Making his way down the carpet, Danny was all smiles snapping it up alongside his co-stars Maya Rudolph and Jose Maria Yazpik.
At another screening....
Oscar winner Octavia Spencer hit up The Free World premiere with her co-stars Boyd Holbrook and Elisabeth Moss along with writer/director Jason Lew held at the Eccles Center Theatre yesterday.
The Free World is a drama about a recently released former convict who becomes involved with a married woman with an abusive husband. Sounds…interesting.
Across the pond...
After hosting a step-mom summit on her husband’s daytime talk show, Marjorie Harvey jetted off to Paris to attend a few runway shows during Paris Fashion Week. She's a regular at any Fashion Week event, so y'all know she showed up and showed out.
Of course, she's styling in a number of different looks as she hits up a few shows to check out some of the hottest designer's latest fashions.
Work!
