Serena Williams graces the July cover of Ebony. Here’s what Ms. muscle-bound backs had to say about her “relationship” with Common:
“I think [Common's] a great guy,” Serena (says). “He’s obviously a great artist who is timeless and classic. You can’t beat that. But I have to focus on tennis because that’s my goal in life.”
Aww shucks. It sounds like somebody’s lost their boo status. What a pity.

Here’s yet another high-profile hip-hop artist set to take on a major role in a blockbuster film:
“Chicago rapper Common has landed a high-profile role in an upcoming new installment of The Terminator franchise of movies. Common, born Lonnie Rashid Lynn, will star in ‘Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins.’
The fourth installment of The Terminator focuses on John Connor, who leads the human race in an epic battle against the machines. Common will star in the movie as a freedom fighter alongside the central character, John Connor, who is being played by actor Christian Bale.
‘I’m not a hip-hop dude who wants to act. I’m an artist,’ Common [said], adding that he has his eyes set on an Oscar Award. ‘The Oscar seems very prestigious,’ Common said. ‘With all due respect to the Grammys, there are more music categories and it’s easier to get a ticket to the show. Also if you look at it as someone coming from Chicago, there are only so many black artists who receive Oscars.’”
Sounds like he thinks he may actually win an Oscar one day. Hat’s off to Common for dreaming the impossible dream, but with all these hip-hop artists crossing over to the big screen, the average black actor is left by the wayside.

Common describes his ideal woman:
“‘I’m attracted to women that are strong in the sense of who they are. I like women who have power to them, but can still be ladylike and that have their own dreams.”
Yes, we know all about that. We have just one question though. If the two decided to get hitched, who’s carrying whom over the threshold?

Common says that his one time pastor, Reverend Jeremiah Wright (Obama’s current pastor) is just keeping it real:
“He never really was against white people or another race. It was more against an establishment that was oppressing people. I think we all can see that this country has problems and a lot of it starts in the political system,” ….. “What I picked up from being in the pews … was messages of love. Anything that was going against that love he would acknowledge and expose.”
