Comment: didnt ole brother huey tell yall this was old and no longer relevant to the degree that it is front page news.

Comment: Yeah huey you did and we all bantered & discussed that it was the interviewer who more than likely brought it up; yet somewhere today (in fact maybe right at thi smoment) a woman is contemplating suicide over an abusive relationship (emotional, verbal, physical) and perhaps by this interviewer bringing up this "old suicide story" -- she left the man instead. So was/is what happened to her relevant -- yes it's in the past but it's also a part of wht built or re-built her character.

Comment: I'm so completely BORED with her. That whole suicide thing was dug up again just to help promote her new film with Bruce Willis which looks stupid and BORING as hell. She BORES me. I don't want to hear anymore about her. What about REAL actresses like Theresa Randall and Angela B%*$ett - sistas with some flava. Please stop with the Halle Halle Halle. Yuch!

Comment: Why do y'all say that about Theresa Randall? I didn't see Girl 6 but I don't really like Spike movies so that's why I didn't go. It looked kinda stupid to me but I attribute that to Spike and his weird movie ideas. I really like her. She just didn't take off but neither did Sanaa Lathan as she should have. To me, Sanaa is the best thing out there but she doesn't get the opportunity to really show it.

Comment: Theresa Randall bit the dust when she starred in that awful Beverly Hills Cop III - I always thought she was a good actress. Halle is a great actress - she should just start keeping her personal life closed - Sanaa is just o.k. to me, nothing special there, Angela is good, when she is in a good movie.

Comment: Thank you Teigh for your insightful comment. I guess this article was raised to address all the ignoramuses who couldn't figure out that the press dredges up old stuff all the time.

Comment: Girl 6 is the explanation for the ending of Theresa Randall's career? What's the explanation for other Black actresses who haven't been seen lately? Hollywood bias/racism/non-concern, etc. That's why it's important for Black directors to keep on keeping on, or else we'd be seen even less often than we are.

Comment: Renetta & Osun, jTheresa Randall killed her career when she or whoever decided to post a clip of her and Father MC on youtube about 6 months ago. It was like watching Bobby and Whitney all over again. She's also pregnant by him. The video is no longer on youtube(it was taken down a couple of days after it was posted). So many negative comments cause she was high as hell and I don't mean weed.

Comment: I am very interested in seeing this movie "Nappily Ever After." If the premise is what I think it is, then it will do alot of good for black women to see that our natural hair is fine just as it is. And that we are beautiful with our God-given tresses and textures. There is no need to chemically alter our hair to conform to the mainstream standard of beauty. I know this post is a bit "preachy", but this is something I feel strongly about, as I have freed myself from "chemical enslavement" a few years ago. Good for Halle for doing this movie.

Comment: I like the concept of Nappily Ever After, too. I haven't relaxed my hair in nearly a year and it is much stronger and healthier. I've also re-discovered Carol's Daughter products. They work!
Hair length and texture is too closely tied to too many sister's self-esteem.
I have a co-worker who has shoulder length, thick hair. It is not uncommon to go into her office and finding her sitting there combing it and looking in the mirror or changing her hairstyle 2-3 times a day.
When I started wearing braids, she told me that she wished she was "bold enough" to do that. Some of this mess comes from growing up being taught that light skin was better, "good" hair was better and so forth.

Comment: >gingerg- I tried using Carol's Daughters hair butter once. Girrllll, my hair LAUGHED at that stuff! But you are SO right, we really need to get out of this slave mentality when it comes to our hair (and skin).

Comment: Theresa Randle short-circuited her career allegedly due to drugs and mental issues. It wasn't Girl-6...although that didn't help.

Comment: Closet_Nerd_Girl & gingerg ---> Read the book. Loved the book. Did the same myself for a couple of years. On this site, people have accused Halle of many things, even of not having hair "nappy enough" (because I guess, nappy hair identifies who the authentic Blacks are). I wonder if we'll see those comments again.

Comment: Girl 6, man wasn't that like 14-15 years ago, are we that unforgiving that a role 15 years ago would derail you? More than likely she simply stopped being the black woman flavor of the month, you know Hollywood only allows so many black females in movies, they like you for a while you are in every blessed black movie and you're every white woman's black girlfriend in the white movies, all of a sudden the roles dry up and then they find a new group of black women, and people speculate what you did to mess up. Or it could have been drugs-----

Comment: Halle needs to go back to short hair. The long hair has no flavor at all, so Nappily will bring the old Halle back. BTW: There was talk about this movie years ago. I thought it was filmed already....

Comment: I would like to hear more about the author of Nappily Ever After. I can't remember her name but I did see her on TV and she was great She said that her hair dresser approached Halle about doing her book as a movie. I like that Halle is creating success for other black writers and actors.

Comment: Kudos to Halle,
I don't think she is the best actress ever but I will support her to the end cause she is putting black folks to work and showcasing our complexity by doing Dorothy Dandridge, Zora Neal Hurston and of course Nappily comes not a moment too soon after the comments made by Don Imus.
Hopefully black folks will have the courage to embrace this film (particularly Black women) and not feel embarrassed about the whole relaxing, weaving and blond hair wearing trend and some of the motivation behind it.

Comment: I'm looking forward to the Nappily movie. I've been nappy for about 3 years now. I love the freedom and increased self-esteem, my hubby loves it, and it has not held me back professionally at all. I wish more black women (and the brothers who love them) would embrace whatever God gave them as "all good." Then folks like Don Imus would not perceive "nappy-headed" as the ultimate insult. They know what scares us....
