Night Watch: Keke Palmer as Roxanne Shante...

While we're on the topic of documentaries and Roxanne Shante...

Keke Palmer--of 'Akeelah and the Bee' and (new-school) Nickelodeon fame, has been set to star as the legendary femcee since 2007.

Still waiting.

Rumor has it that financing is what has been slowing the presses. <*eyeroll...> Isn't it always... <*grinding teeth...>

Will definitely be keeping watch for any new developments on that front. But if anybody manages to reach a breakthrough, go speed that Nina Simone biopic up, too. Another tease that's been on the backburner for the last half of the aughts. Mary J. Blige had been named the actress-to-be in that pic for MTV FILMS, NO LESS, but something tells me that until we see some Black, Brown and green teeth behind it, we'll be waiting.

Fembassy!!!!? OMG!! *now these is stupid.*

So while we're on the subject of revivals, emcee Invincible brings [wait for it]...'THE REVIVAL'!!

The 17min. doc eavesdrops on the indeed legendary Roxanne Shante and Bahamadia, and tru-schoolers Stacy Epps, Eternia, Shortee, and Invincible as they skip through Europe (and the 'hoods of international haters) as part of We-B-Girlz --independent women in Hip Hop tour.

Too appropriate.

You woulda thunk [sic] bytwenty8 told 'em to say what they gon' say about "staying 'woke" and mindful entertainment buuuuuuuuut I didn't. It's just a simple truth that kindred spirits share. Go check the entire doc out over HERE at Invincible's site. Fembassy is airing interviews with all of the ladies on the weekly. And you'd be wise to follow Fembassy en general--it's your #1 source for Femcees. Tha bizness.

"Now these is stupid."
