ANIKA NONI ROSE SAYS ‘FROG PRINCESS’ ISN’T DONE DEAL YET: Actress tells EUR she’d rather wait until the ‘ink is dry’ to begin celebrating.
*During an interview with EUR’s Lee Bailey to promote the DVD of “Dreamgirls,” co-star Anika Noni Rose said to hold off on the congratulations over her casting as Disney’s first African American princess in the forthcoming animated feature, “The Frog Princess.”
“I have to say that that is not something that is a finalized situation,” Rose told Bailey Tuesday morning. “Disney has not yet announced that, so I don’t feel comfortable really saying much about it, but I will say thank you.”
While E! Online broke the story earlier this week, Rose said she first saw reports of her casting in the press last Thursday.
“I, personally, am never comfortable speaking on anything that doesn’t have a contract with some dried ink. That’s my motto,” Rose chuckled. “But you know what, the moment the ink is dry, I will be the first one to scream it from the mountaintop.”
Rose also set the record straight on the sudden exit of her “Dreamgirls” co-star Eddie Murphy at the Academy Awards. Reports surfaced that he had stormed out of the auditorium once he lost his supporting actor category to Alan Arkin of “Little Miss Sunshine.”
“People are saying that he ran out and slammed the door, and he so didn’t because I was actually right behind him as he left,” Rose told us.
“Eddie’s not very social, you know. If you notice in years past, he just doesn’t go to these things. So it was a big deal for him to go at all,” she added. “I’m sure he was disappointed. Everybody is when you don’t win something that you’re hoping for. But as far as [being] angry and pissed and ‘[I] just gotta go because I can’t take it because I lost,’ that was not the case at all.”
