Lala Anthony and the sexy Rob Riley were spotted in Detroit for their latest film and we have a first look at them on the set. Also, watch the trailer for "An En Vouge Christmas" inside...
A few days ago, we spied Lala on Instagram rocking some cornrows for a new movie. Now...we can spill the deets. Shortly after she braided her hair, Lala hopped on a plane and flew to Detroit where she hooked up with "Hit The Floor" hottieRob Riley.
The two are shooting an independent film titled Destined and Rob's caption on Instagram shared something about their characters. He wrote, "You don't wanna see either of these characters in the streets...TRUST ME. LaLa as #Jada, Myself as #Cal #acting #indie #Detroit #vh1 #robertchristopherriley #robrileynyc #lala"
Hmm....it looks like Jada (Lala) and Cal (Rob) are from the rough side of Detroit. The film DESTINED is executive produced by Hill Harper and stars Cory Hardrict (shown atop with the cast). Here's the synopsis:
Destined tells parallel stories of Sheed and Rasheed (both played by Cory Hardrict) as they explore the idea of destiny as well as how the smallest incident can manifest itself into a life changing event. The film also stars Chad Michael Murray, Zulay Henao, Jeremy Sisto and Michael Rainey Jr.
Lala also posed with her "other" good looking castmate, MoMcRae, who's starred on "Sons of Anarchy" "The Butler" and "Ray Donovan."
While on the set, Lala and the cast were visiting by a group of school kids from the Detroit area. Lala said, "I was so touched by these Detroit students who came to interview us on set. Such great spirits with so much potential. Love the MOVIE MENT group here in Detroit. Giving back its all that really matters. Love u"
On television...
On Saturday, November 22, 8PM ET/PT, R&B singing group En Vogue will star as themselves in a holiday film about "getting back together" and performing.
An En Vogue Christmas, featuring both EV classics and two new tunes, is centered around En Vogue reuniting for a benefit concert to save the club that made them stars.
"They put aside their hesitations to reunite for the special night, but first must overcome their challenging history with Marty (David Alan Grier, In Living Color), their former manager and the man responsible for breaking them up. In the spirit of the holidays, the ladies find forgiveness and come together for an epic En Vogue Christmas concert to keep the club from closing its doors forever."
Taraj P Henson and Gladys Knight also star in the film. Here's the trailer:
