“I didn’t see ‘Obsessed,’ so I can’t comment, but it’s just not about how talented you are anymore. It’s about, ‘How much box-office revenue will this person generate?’ When you see certain people – we won’t name names – they just don’t have the skill, and no one in their team has said, ‘You need acting classes.”

Nia Long Is Worth Fighting Over
Actress Nia Long found herself the center of attention Friday night at L.A.’s Grove shopping center while shopping with a new beau.
The actress of “Boiler Room” and “Big Momma’s House” fame and a mystery man were on the streets of the hip shopping center when Long’s ex, Massai Z. Dorsey, ran into the pair. Apparently there’s bad blood between the guys because a street brawl broke out between Dorsey and Long’s new guy, right in the middle of the shopping center!
Sources tell TMZ that the Long’s guy friend kicked Long’s ex’s butt – hands down – leaving him lying on the street as he and Long took off running. As Long was running, she even lost her shoe – yet didn’t seem to care. She left the shoe behind and kept running!
(source)That’s crazy. You know somebody chirped Massai and told him where they was at. Ladies (and gentlemen!) be careful out there. Some people just don’t understand that when it’s over it’s over.
