Hollywood actress Kimberly Elise is NOT Dead!

Recently, I found an article that revealed the recent confusion about Kimberly Elise being dead. This has seemed to become a very popular topic as of late. What makes this finding more ridiculous and disturbing is that current fans and non-fans also believe that she died from HIV/AIDS. It is one of the most absurd rumors about an actress that I have found recently. That is right, this is a false RUMOR. However, people are speculating and posting information on the internet that is incorrect and could not be further from the truth.

Apparently, fans believe that the actress Kimberly Elise is dead because of an episode of Girlfriends that she appeared in. What a stupid speculation that shows how one false piece of information (much like the Duane Martin Divorce drama) spreads like wildfire when people don’t try to find the facts and just believe anything that they read. Let’s get the facts straight now. First of all, Girlfriends is a fictional TV show that airs on the CW network. Kimberly Elise played the role of Toni (Jill Marie Jones) and Joan’s (Tracey Ellis Ross) high school friend who was infected with full blown AIDS from her husband.

The key word here is “Fictional”. A script was written, a character was produced and Kimberly Elise played the part. Now, popular online blogger Paula Neal Mooney’s article on this matter suggests that there is also some information circulating among TV viewers and fans that suggests this Girlfriends episode was based on a real-life woman who died from AIDS. I do not know much about that and really have no interest in doing further research on a person that one TV episode was based upon. The most important fact that everyone who has concerns and confusion about Kimberly Elise being dead needs to realize is that television is fake, for the most part.

What really makes me disappointed in TV viewers and many of the people spreading this information is that this particular Girlfriends episode was soooo last season. I have seen the episode when it aired and then again, probably 5 times already. Old episodes from the Girlfriends TV show is in heavy rotation. It is ridiculous that people are taking a rerun and making it current. The fact that television viewers and movie fans cannot separate real life from fiction concerns me and should also be of huge concern to every man and woman who cares about the kind of information that is being put out into the world.

If we are to believe everything that airs on TV, I guess Keifer Sutherland really was held hostage by the Chinese, Shemar Moore was molested when he was a child and Alana De La Garza really does have cancer. Then again, that would be stupid since she is on Law & Order with a new hairstyle. Come on people, think for a change!!! Kimberly Elise is not dead. In fact, she has two movies in post-production (For all of those that lack knowledge of certain film terms, it means that they are in their finishing stages,) and has been on Close to Home for over a dozen episodes. I guess none of you liars and confused TV viewers searching for “Kimberly Elise Dead” and “Kimberly Elise Death” would know that since you have been busy watching reruns of Girlfriends.

Here is a tip, turn to CBS once in a while. Do not be surprised to find Kimberly Elise alive and well. Then again, I wouldn’t recommend watching Cold Case on CBS for those who actually did believe that the Hollywood actress was dead from HIV/AIDS. For the ones that are still living in fictional TV land, just wake up and smell the coffee. As a matter of fact, stop watching TV and start reading a newspaper. There, you can find obituaries and more information related to what is actually happening in real life.

As always, if you are reading this post, you are welcome to leave your comments below. However, keep all of the lies and false information about Kimberly Elise at bay, because she is NOT dead and she does NOT have HIV/AIDS.

A Bourne Ultimatum....Is Matt Damon the new James Bond?

It looks like 2007 is the Year of Jason Bourne, all over again. Last weekend, The Bourne Utimatum grossed $70 million, becoming the highest August opening of all time. It would not be a surprise to find out that this movie has hit $100 million easy, by now. However, none of that money has come from me because I have yet to see The Bourne Ultimatum. It seems that the public loves this movie franchise, run by Universal Pictures. I am not surprised, because both “The Bourne Identity” and “The Bourne Supremacy” rocked. The later Bourne movies have been able to escape the mediocrity that plagues many Hollywood sequels. That is refreshing because you never know how good a sequel is really going to be and it’s easy to be disappointed. Look at the Fast and The Furious 2. I still do not know what the point was for making that movie. One studio executive noted that “Matt Damon is the new James Bond”. She may not be far off point.

Matt Damon is an awesome actor and a favorite among tons of movie fans. I am definitely going to have to see The Bourne Ultimatum very soon. If only the short film screening wasn’t taking up my time, I would be free to watch some cool Hollywood flicks. Matt Damon seems to be doing well with sequels right now, with the success of both his Bourne franchise and the Ocean’s Eleven movies. The popular actors has expressed concern about being pigeonholed into his Jason Bourne character. If additional movies are produced with this character, that is what the public will remember him for. However, Matt Damon should be fine as long as he works on more great films. He has a right to be known as a great actor, not just “Jason Bourne”. Therefore, I can recognize where he is coming from on that point.

Dear readers, do not spoil it for me. However, feel free to leave your thoughts on Matt Damon, The Bourne Franchise, Previous Bourne films and relevant “Bourne” subjects. Would you go to see a fourth Bourne movie? I’m off to read a piece on female directors now and will return with information regarding that.

Brokeback Mountain Sequel, starring Duane Martin?

UPDATE as of October 2007: Any talk about actors Duane Martin and Tisha Campbell getting a divorce is False. Any talk about Duane Martin being homosexual is also false. Therefore anything that you may hear or read in the future on any website, tv program, tabloid or gossip column that is in relation to any of these RUMORS should be viewed as false information. Whoever put these lies out in the first place was not telling the truth.

Therefore, if you are still interested in reading what was put out earlier this year, so be it. Just keep in mind that it is NOT TRUE and it seems that people have taken this way out of hand. You can read more about the truth and the lies HERE.

Old Post from 8/15/07:
It has been reported that Hollywood actor Duane Martin and his wife, actress Tisha Campbell-Martin are getting a divorce. This is the result of a two year love affair that Duane Martin has been involved with. Why that surprises me, the additional details of this affair is even more shocking. Duane Martin's affair was with another man. However, he and Tisha Campbell have children together. Go figure. It is a shame that their marriage is ending this way. They are both talented actors. Hopefully, they will both get through this rough time and continue with their careers and raising their children by way of a mutual parenting agreement.

What I cannot seem to understand is why Duane Martin would get married to a woman in the first place, if he is gay. That seems like that is a waste of time for both he and Tisha Campbell, who could have married a heterosexual male instead. This newly discovered side of Duane Martin however, could open up doors for additional movie roles for the actor that he may not have obtained otherwise. Maybe it could even land him a guest role on South Park as they discuss issues surrounding the LGBT community. He could also co-host the "In Bed with Butch" show on WYBE in Philadelphia.

No matter what happens to boost his public image and acting career, Duane Martin
may want to figure out how this is going to affect the children that he shares with Tisha Campbell. How is his "coming out" also going to affect Tisha Campbell, who has been through enough drama within the last few decades or so.
