Regardless of your Invisible Woman Complex, Vanity Fair, I Present the 3rd Annual Black Women in HWD Luncheon

(via The Black Box Office)

Essence Magazine hosts its third annual Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon, honoring the timeless, classic and inimitable Cicely Tyson.

The Black Box Office names Queen Latifah, Zoe Saldana, Gabourey Sidibe and Mary J. Blige as a few of the glowing honorees alongside Tyson, who will receive the Legend Award.

Essence continues to pack esteem in its major league award, having honored Ruby Dee and Diahann Carroll in 2008 and 2009.

The Luncheon is set to take place the same week as the Oscars.

POST SCRIPT

Did you know Cicely Tyson founded her own school in 1995??? Now that's the business. The Cicely Tyson School of Performing Arts is located in East Orange, NJ. Gee, I wonder if these kids will do the Heisman to Vanity Fair and anybody else who thought they were the final word in acknowledging greatness? Hmmm.

Jungle Fever!! And A Very Cinematic Sunday @TVOne

Right now on TVOne, Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee are in full effect!! I LOVE THEM! (...And so my unintended Samuel L. Jackson throwback binge continues...smh. Tell him don't EVER let Tarantino or anybody else put him in horse hair again! EVER.)

Cuando the credits roll, I have MUCHO goodies to share. It is going DOWN something proper around the DMV this week as we bring in Chris Matthews' favorite season.

Happy Eve of "Oh!-They-Just-Remembered-We-Were-Black-Month!" Find a lecture or several--Black people on that circuit are extra-employed over the next several weeks.

Milk it bred'ren. MILK it!

(Vintage Spike Lee. Indeed. Catch all his Wesley Snipes' jams today on TV One as 'Mo' Better Blues' airs thereafter. Then see the man himself on Mario Van Peebles Obamatic doc on race, airing at 7:00p. Catch 'Why Do Fools Fall in Love' once 'Mo' Better' credits roll.)
