Kanye & Kim West went on a cutesy date in NYC last night. Also, we have deets on Tika Sumpter starring as First Lady Michelle Obama in a new romance film. Peep the pics and get the deets inside….
It’s rumored Kanye West and his wife Kim Kardashian West didn’t spend this Thanksgiving together. But things still seem to be going strong (at least for now) in the West household.
After not being photographed together for weeks, the married couple (dressed in all black) reunited in NYC last night. Kanye treated his wife with an intimate evening at chocolate and coffee shop Serendipity 3. And as they were leaving, the paps caught the attention-seeking couple holding hands as they made their way to their waiting vehicle in the freezing rain.
It appears work may be the reason the two have been so much time apart. Kim has been busy trekking the globe promoting her new fragrance, while Ye has been making his rounds overseas in Paris and China recently. It seems kind of weird these two didn’t spend Thanksgiving together…could there be trouble in paradise or is it their demanding work schedules? Time will tell…
In movie news....
Looks like Tika Sumpter just landed herself a new gig!
Get On Up actress Tika Sumpter is reportedly playing the First Lady of the United States Michelle Obama in an upcoming romance film.
According to Deadline, a new movie titled Southside With You is in the works. And it will chronicle the summer of 1989 when President Barack Obama romantically pursued the love of his life on a date in Chicago’s southside.
A snippet about the film:
Obama, then an idealistic first-year Harvard Law student, took a summer job as an associate at Chicago law firm Sidley Austin where he fell for lawyer Michelle Robinson, his younger boss. Southside With You spans the day she agreed to go out with him when the two visited the Art Institute, took a long walk, and caught a showing of Spike Lee’s new film, Do The Right Thing. They were married in 1992.
Sweet! Filming is set to begin in July 2015 in Chicago. No word on who's playing a young Barack Obama since they’re still casting for the role. Who would you like to see star as a young President O?
In other Tika news, the "Have and the Have Nots" actress is currently filming Bessie, the story of legendary blues performer, Bessie Smith, who rose to fame during the 1920s and '30s. Chick is making moves...not mad.
