BET.COM columnist and C+D friend in the head Clay Cane reports that Idris Elba isn’t at all obsessed over promoting his new film opposite Kid Creole. Elba did not attend the New York City press junket, canceled his 106 & Park appearance and supposedly will not be at the red carpet premiere tonight in New York City. Reps for the actors say that he has been sick all this week.

Mama Tina is preparing her special creole gumbo as we speak. Just let that thick piece of cornbread she serves with it on the side soak up all the flay-vuh, Idris.

Meanwhile Worker Bee has been a promoting machine. Girl, you gon’ get that Oscah! I can feel it! Chu tach-ed muh chile?!
