“Dream Girls” Beyonce and Jennifer Hudson may have stopped dreaming when their film “Dream Girls” made it big both in the box office and the awards season. For sure, Oscar award winner Hudson has already outgrown daydreaming considering the stature she has achieved ion just a few years. But there’s another dream come true for both singers. Beyonce and Hudson won in the recent 40th National Association for the Advancement of Colored People or NAACP Awards held in Los Angeles.
Beyonce, who won in the Outstanding Female Artist category, sang “Halo” while Jennifer Hudson, who won in the Outstanding New Artist category and another one for Best Album, sang “The Impossible Dream” as a tribute to President’s Award recipient Muhammad Ali. Hudson, who was a big winner considering her recent Grammy win, said it is always an honor to come home where she came from. Couple Rihanna (who is competing against Beyonce) and boyfriend Chris Brown (who is competing against Jamie Foxx, John Legend and will.i.am for the male artist category) were a no show after last Sunday’s controversy.
British Prince Harry has been sent to take a course on diversity and equality by the British Army that after a video was seen wherein he uses offensive language to describe a Pakistani army personnel working in the British Army.
Harry called an army colleague – “our little Paki friend” and this description according to military officials in Britain is set to lower the popularity of the prince amongst ethnic Asians living in the UK. Also that such racially sensitive comment will diminish his reputation as a credible army officer.
It shows the concern of the British Army that royals need to learn that such comments hurt people of other communities and the diversity and equality will only make understand the extent of how offensive his remarks were.
Pakistanis are being targeted by people all over the world for crimes and terrorist activities that some people are carrying out as a revenge (that according to them) for US atrocities carried out in other parts of the world. I do not know what explanations such acts have.
