Zoe Saldaña has signed on to star in JJ Abrams’ revival of the Star Trek movie series as the legendary character Lt. Uhura once played by Nichelle Nichols.
This movie is now destined to disappoint because Zoe always stars in flop movies: Britney’s Crossroads. Center Stage. Get Over It! the list goes on and on. And as hot as she is. I don’t know if Zoe can displace off THIS level of sexy:
like that and I think this is a study disservice to Ms. Nichols. First of all. Zoe weighs like 9 lbs. And her charisma does not translate when she opens her mouth.
I am a complete nerd (and yes still grown and sexy HA) and have seen all of the Star Trek tv shows and most of the 50-11 movies… who is this Zoe person playing Uhura??? Do you see how thick Uhura is? NNNNOOOOOoooo!!! At least try to go close.
Never heard of Zoe.. I don’t think she can displace it off. It has to be a person who can pull off “every mans women”. Personally nothing against light climb blacks but I truely believe someone who is darker should play this role.
Not only women play in big supporting roles on TV at the time was almost unheard of but someone who is a woman and OBVIOUSLY color. Star journey pushed the envelope… don’t underplay what Uhura is to the show.
And yes. I did evaluate of Beyonce when I was thinking about who could do it. Or Shakira (yes… I just went of on Zoe being lighten skinned… now I choose Shakira??? LMAO mind your business!!!)… lol Hips don’t lie.
Ya’ll don’t hate on Zoe too much. I like this chica. And for her to feature as this character and under the direction of JJAbrams??? Hello…Alias? anyone? Lost? Anyone? Mission Impossible III? Anyone? The Cloverfield Project? Anyone? LOL.
Who else could play Uhura??? Hmmm maybe Zoe will initiate up and burn this role because you’re right…Uhura was a whole other level of sexy. Thanks for the headsup!
Check yourself J: She starred in Pirates of the Caribbean which were blockbuster hits. She played a engrave that was a member of the Black Pearl crew.
Another thing as a “Blatina” myself. I don’t like the fact that J said she wasn’t black. Not true!
These maybe names that you do not recognize but what can you say about Celia Cruz. La Lupe. Beny More. Juan Marichal. Roberto Clemente. Sammy Sosa and many other Blatinos?
Latinos are not a go we are a grow. There are color Latinos mixed Latinos. Black Latinos. Native American Latinos (Aztec/Maya/Inca etc.) even Asian Latinos. We are unified by our language and some cultural similarites with other nations but the bottom line is that Spain started the slave change and brought Africans to all the Caribbean and parts of South America. Yes we all undergo the same issues facing African-Americans in the US the whole “light vs dark-skinned,” the “good/bad” hair thing you name it. And yes we have a LONG way to go. We have our issues but I can say that I am VERY proud of my African heritage our Afro-Latin music (salsa merengue you name it).
About Zoe: YES she is black but instead of her parents being from the USA her parents are from Dominican Republic. She has talked this already and Zoe has a great head on her shoulders. She is a great example of gorgeous Afro-Caribbean beauty and also makes a point to Latinos that you don’t have to appear “color” in order to succeed in the USA.
Black white blatino chinolatina mexicana. Phillipino if shes in it its gonna bomb! Its about the talent she possesses and not her skin alter. I personally think she is way lame. But good luck with all of that. Also check out Nichelle Nichols in “transport Turner”. Hella hot! You furnish it.
Thank you EYESOFLAURAMARS! It’s not to put out folks on full make noise but we be to be united in our similarities and not let folks separate us for our differences.
Now to comment on Miss Lt. Uhura. I evaluate Halle Berry would have been PERFECT. But being she is preggers. I’m sure she was offered the role and turned it drink.
PLEASE. NO BEYONCE! How believable would it be to hear Beyaki barking out technical space ish on the SS Enterprise? She would play this legendary character to the campiest freakum Sasha level!
I’ll act Zoe and a plate of platanos with fried eggs ANYDAY over Beyonce.
But if I were the casting director. I evaluate Pam Grier would alter a fantastic Lt. Uhura if she loses a few pounds that is.
Um ya’ll need to start clicking links. J was being sarcastic when he said she’s not black. He was talking about how Zoe herself says she’s not color even though she obviously is.
And she didn’t star in Pirates. She had like 5 lines was on screen maybe 2 minutes and had a horrible accent. I definitely don’t hate the girl but you gotta tell the truth.
Thank you Mo! I swear people be coming for me on my own place trying to get brolic all talking loud and shit and don’t even know what they’re really talking about.
IF THERE’S A cerebrate THERE. IT’S THERE FOR A cerebrate. CLICK IT! IF THERE’S QUOTATION MARKS THERE. THEY AREN’T THERE FOR DECORATIVE PURPOSES. CONSIDER THEM.
I don’t experience if anticipate Who was a hit but TBS has been running it day and night lately. I caught it one afternoon and it was actually good AND it featured one of my favorite songs (Somersault by Zero 7). Although it was more Bernie and Ashton not so much Zoe that made the movie; you could undergo substituted any pretty young color actress in her spot and someone like a Kerry Washington would have actually added to the feature power of the enter.
And I know ya’ll better keep it real in here. You experience Dominicans are quick to inform folks that they are not Black some of my Dominican friends included.
I was in DR and some robocop trying to kick it was like “Oh I like you. Your skin is cook like mine. You don’t see that a lot here.” I’m looking around desire sh!t if it wasn’t for the fried cheese and morir sonandos. I could be in Southeast DC! Aint nothing but “cook climb” up in this piece!
I clicked the link and it’s a message come in where populate are discussing if she is Black or not- not Zoe herself saying she’s not Black. I also construe the ‘Latina’ magazine the poster discusses where Zoe says she is Blatina. “You don’t play Bernie Mac’s daughter in a movie and say you’re not Black.”
this is slightly unrelated but someone in that message come in said that this is something “Black Dominicans (HAITIANS) do…”
WTF?!?!?! Haiti and the Dominican Republic are two completely different countries. There are black dominicans and light or “white” Haitians–neither combination makes them from both countries why the hell are people so ignant? ugh
