By Souleo. "American Idol" and "Celebrity Fit Club" alum, Kimberley Locke is on the move and there's no sign of her slowing down.  After racking up several #1 dance hits she is now a certified dance diva and recently partnered with hit producer and "American Idol" judge, Randy Jackson on his new label, DreamMerchant2.

Kimberley broke it down with JimmyJazz.com in this edition of The Questions.

Stop the hype: All the celebrity gossip.  It's everywhere.  The people love it.  I find myself checking it out too.  I'm like don't read it but I can't help it.  It's like a drug.  You have to at least read the cover.

Currently crazy about: "Unthinkable (I'm Ready)" by Alicia Keys.  Somebody who happened to be a guy-I won't say who-sent me that song and said listen to it.  I want to work with Alicia Keys and do a song with her.

I wish I could: I want to be in a movie ad I'm working on it.  I want to be in a Tyler Perry movie.

Favorite designer/brand: I love Catherine Malandrino's stores.  She is very in tune with the shape of a woman's body.  I am very curvy and can go into her store and buy something and it doesn't have to be altered.  I know it will fit me in all the right places and be classic and fun.

You'd be surprised to know: I ride a motorcycle.  I've been riding since I was a little girl.  When I was in Nashville last week I put 600 miles on my bike just riding with my friends and family.  I've been riding since I was little with my mom and dad.  It's a bonding moment for my brother and me.  I brought my bike in 2005 so it's one of my things that I love to do.

I dance in my underwear to:  Beyonce.  I love "Single Ladies" and "Halo."

I'll never say never to: I try to say never say never period 'because you never know what will happen.

When I'm in bed at night: I say my prayers and thank God for all the things he blessed me with and the wonderful people in my life.  I pray that everyday I can do something that will make a positive impact on somebody else's life.

The Questions: Malik Yoba

June 8, 2010 / Posted in Interviews / Movies / Style / TV
Tags: BET / Malik Yoba / New York Undercover / Shop Talk / Tom Ford / Tyler Perry / Why Did I Get Married Too? / Why Did I Get Married?

By Souleo. Rarely is an actor gifted with as many talents and facets as Malik YobaMalik has proven to be one of Hollywood's best actors from his classic role on the hit TV show "New York Undercover" to his leading role in the Tyler Perry films, "Why Did I Get Married?" and "Why Did I Get Married Too?"  But the accomplishments don't end there.  Malik is a veteran producer, writer and all-around entrepreneur with a diverse portfolio of work.

One of his crowning achievements is the highly successful BET web series, "Shop Talk."  Malik stars, writes, co-directs and produces the series which focuses on life lessons and provocative topics with a colorful crew of outspoken new cats, young guys, and business-savvy young ladies.  Although scripted, the characters pull from each actor's lifelong experiences, often going off-script for candid and inspired real talk.

JimmyJazz.com recently got Malik off script as he talked why "swagger" is overrated, his joy in representing the urban community, menstrual cramps (uhm, yeah) and more.

Stop the hype: Use of the word swagger.

I wish I could: Live to see my children be senior citizens.

Currently crazy about: All the wonderful opportunities I'm receiving after over a decade of working hard to convince corporate America of my relevance and the opportunities in our community.

Favorite brand or designer: I'm all over Tom Ford's Black Orchid cologne.

I dance in my underwear to: "The Naked Song."

Five years from now: I'll be five years wiser.

If I were the opposite sex: I would find a cure for menstrual cramps.

The one that makes me a good lover: Compassion.

When I'm alone in bed at night: I do things I should only do alone in bed at night.

The Questions: Kim Fields

June 1, 2010 / Posted in Movies / TV
Tags: Brett Favre / House of Payne / Kim Fields / Living Single / The Facts of Life / Tyler Perry

By Souleo. You can call Kim Fields many things: talented actress (“The Facts of Life” & “Living Single”), director (“Tyler Perry’s Meet the Brown’s” & “Tyler Perry’s House of Payne”), singer (the 1984 club hit He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not) and more.  But the title most fitting is probably, Ms. Reinvention.  Kim has consistently demonstrated that child stars can have long careers in Hollywood not only in front of the camera but also behind-the-scenes.  Whether she is directing, producing or acting it’s hard to resist her charm, wit and down-to-earth spirit.

 

Kim displayed all three winning traits as she talked her love for Brett Favre, why she never pursued her dream of becoming a marine biologist, her appreciation for her family’s love and more.

 

Stop the hype: Carbs are not that bad.

 

I wish I could: Sing like the Clark Sisters.

 

Currently crazy about: My little boy and the TV show “Burn Notice.”

 

I dance in my underwear to: I get my praise on regardless.

 

Five years from now: My son will be eight and I won’t believe it.

 

If I were the opposite sex: I would love my wife as much as I know my husband loves me.  I would do everything I could to be Brett Favre’s receiver.  I love Brett Favre.

 

When I was younger: I wanted to be a marine biologist but I didn’t like math.

 

I can’t believe: That God has blessed me to do all I’m doing and receive the love I receive.
