VIDEO: Femi Kuti and the Positive Force LIVE on a KLM Flight at 38000ft above Africa!


The title of this post pretty much tells the whole story. It takes a “Femi Kuti” to pull this off.
Major Shout-out to KLM for allowing this very rare form of entertainment. It’s not everyday we get to see a Legend perform airborne alongside a formidable live band. The passengers certainly got 2 deals for the price of one.

WORLD Premiere: Ruffcoin ft 2face Idibia – The Way You Dance (Prod by Jay Sleek)

Nwa Aba himself, Ruffcoin, powers through with a potential hit song “The Way You Dance” featuring Naija’s #1 2face Idibia. The Jay Sleek-produced track is a fast-paced joint which will get you moving from start to finish. I’ve been vibing to this joint for a hot minute and it’s easy to see why I’m excited it’s finally out.
From his Nwa’Aba days to the more recent hit singles “Onyeze”, “Sweet Music” and “Down Low”, Ruffcoin shows he’s truly gifted. He’s gearing up for the release of his new album “Diamond In The Ruff” under the Big A Entertainment imprint. Not sure of the release date just yet, but I’m pretty sure it will hit stores before the end of the year. Listen/download and share below.

The Diary Of a Music Video Critic by Soji Ogunnaike



Hey fellas! Greetings to all from probably the most controversial being on our music and entertainment community, Not Just OK.
I know most people reading this would, at this point, be hissing or would want to close this page, but hold your horses! I would like to share a short story; that of a dying man. This man has had a very fruitful life, growing up with successful siblings but in recent times, his family has begun to fall apart. It all started with his eldest sibling, who enjoyed the most visibility and patronage, gaining him international recognition but in his prime, things began to happen too fast. This made him lose sight of the bigger picture, leading him to a premature crash, although not a complete write-off. The pieces are being gathered together today.
The next sibling has enjoyed a LOT of revenue generation, leading to the birth of a LOT of greed. Today, he barely makes ends meet and can only reminisce about the “good old days”.
Now we move on to the last of the siblings. This is a special being, one who just about approaches his prime. He enjoys international visibility and would soon wine and dine with the world’s best IF he is put in check.
I’m sure you’re wondering what family I speak of:
I refer to the Motion Picture industry in Nigeria, with the siblings being: the feature film, TV advertising and music video industries respectively.
This music video industry in Nigeria is one that can be best described by 2 words “BITTER-SWEET”. It is an arbitrary blend of the “greats” and “not-so-greats” and I believe it needs a boost, which is A MORE ENLIGHTENED AUDIENCE, one that demands more from the content providers (directors). The industry suffers because of the general mindset that “ANYTHING GOES” with music videos. This will ONLY bring the eventual demise of this flourishing industry. I also believe that healthy criticism could contribute to bringing about this needed change.
I will be doing a series of write-ups called “The Diary of a Music Video Critic.” The first in this series would be my Top 5 music videos featured on Not Just OK in the 1st half of 2012 (January – June). ENJOY!
(Note that the videos are in NO particular order)

- Oxygen – Morell:

My reason for including this video in this list is because it is a PERFECT representation of “shooting an engaging LOW-BUDGET video.”
The opening titles remain one of the best I’ve seen in a Nigerian music video. Sweet!
The director did a fantastic job creating a lovely theme including elements representing aviation and suffocation. Very nice use of aviation props and kudos to the makeup person for the use of feathers as eye lashes… Nice touch!
The nuances like the red locker with smoke emanating from it were just awesome, representing suffocation (need for oxygen).
The very subtle visual effects of smoky projectiles was also a nice touch as they NEVER distracted the viewer.
The editing had the perfect pace and was sustained till the very end. I rate this video very highly on EVERY level because of the creativity of the director, creating SOMETHING out of almost nothing.

- As the world turns – F Shaw:
This video was featured on Not Just OK at an appropriate time, when I believe the audience was tired of seeing the usual style of videos with colorful backdrops, ladies shaking their behinds and free publicity for premium alcoholic drinks.
First of all, I must say this is one of the best lit music videos, not just in Nigeria but in Africa. World class lighting, just like a Hollywood film. The camera movements and editing pace ensures the viewer is sucked into the mind of the artiste, sharing his emotions. The video NEVER distracts the viewer from appreciating the lyrics of the song, which is very commendable.
The art direction was superb, giving the entire video a very classy feel, and in turn elevating the brand of the artiste.
In as much as this is a very well shot video, it is far from perfect (no video is). The scenes get pretty monotonous at around the 3:00 mark. The director should have included a fresh scene at some point.

- Ara – Brymo:

This video excels as the best use of creative lighting. The film noir look nailed it visually. The use of water splashes in slow motion was quite pleasing to the eye, although on closer shots, the exaggerated slow-motion effect (done in post) was poorly executed as it reveals ugly artifacts.
It is a very arty video that is sure to keep the viewer glued to the screen till the end. The use of the Eyo masquerades give the video a very strong identity that should do us as a people proud, especially watching it on other African Top 10 charts.
In all, the video will surely stand the test of time as it expresses a very different approach to shooting music videos.

- Chop my money (remix) – P Square:

This video remains the best representation of the video to a commercially successful song. It has the needed elements, beautiful woman, nice car, good club/party scene and successful Nigerian artistes, featuring a successful international artiste. The little story that the director included was also nice and added some humor to the entire video. It is a very well shot and directed video in my opinion.

- Nawti – Olu Maintain:

This video is one that I would say set the pace for music videos in 2012. My ONLY gripe with it is I wish it was shot locally.
The USP (unique selling point) of this video, Natalie Nunn, was the cherry on the well-mixed ice-cream sundae. This is one of the richest videos in eye-candy to come out of Nigeria… errm… by a Nigerian ;)
It has it all, sexy women, nice costumes, great landscapes and did I say sexy women? My favorite was the part with the HOT lady wading through the pool blowing on a flute. Sweet! Sweet!! Sweet!!!
The storyline that was portrayed had a few flaws in the continuity department but will be overlooked by the audiences who would have their eyes open to other things anyway.
Very good video in my opinion.

Oceans, Islands, and Birds…

Written by Zoe Sorrell, a student of flute, English, and dance at the Oberlin College and Conservatory of Music.
The Mostly Mozart festival is fast approaching, and once again, ICE will be in residence--and performing some awesome music with some really cool guest artists! First up will be an August 5th performance at Rose Theatre, featuring guest conductor Susanna Malkki and pianist, Nicolas Hodges. They will be playing pieces that evoke various scenes from nature, including Francesconi's Islands, Tiensuu's nemo (based on Jules Vernes' 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea), Murail's La Barque mystique (which paints a seascape), and two pieces by Messiaen.
Malkki has made her mark as a woman in what some have called a man's world. Born in Helsinki, Finland, she began her career on the other side of the podium as an orchestral cellist but was interested in "being in charge of the whole picture, and putting all the pieces together; There are so many details to find and colors to produce" (read more). She began her conducting studies at the Sibelius Academy, under the tutelage of Jorma Panula, Eri Klas, and Leif Segerstam. Since school, she has conducted some of the finest ensembles of our age. Notably, she led the London Sinfonietta at the BBC Proms in July of 2007, securing her status as a name to watch. When asked what it's like to be a female conductor, Malkki explains: "the orchestra is a microcosm of society--very hierarchical; it would have been unthinkable for a woman to conduct orchestras when women could not even play in them. It's more important to look forward than to think in the mud, in the past" (read more). I certainly look forward to her work with ICE!
Nicolas Hodges is a British pianist and composer specializing in avant-garde music. Tempo magazine quotes Hodges as a "refreshing artist [who] plays the classics as if they were written yesterday, and what was written yesterday as if it were already a classic" (read more). Many notable composers have written works for Hodges, including Elliott Carter, Salvatore Sciarrino, James Clarke, Michael Finnissy, and Konrad Boehmer. With ICE, Hodges will be featured on pieces by Francesconi and Messiaen.
ICE musicians are excited to be working on two of Messiaen's pieces, his Piece for Piano and String Quartet and Oiseaux exotiques. Messiaen was a French composer, organist, and ornithologist, as exemplified by Oiseaux exotiques, a kaleidoscope of bird calls (check out ICE musicians sharing various bird calls here). It should certainly be an exciting way to end this fantastic collaborative concert!
 

Snopp Dogg turns “Born Again” ,changes name to Snopp Lion


After many years of smoking ganja, spreading dissing music and gun  culture, renowned rapper Snopp Dogg has revealed that he is now a born again.

According to Snoop Dogg he was “born again” during a visit to Jamaica in January, and now changing his name to Snoop Lion and is ready to make music that his “kids and grandparents can listen to.”

The 40-year-old, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, Jr., believes that he is Bob Marley reincarnated and is embracing reggae instead of the culture of guns he once rapped about.

He said that in Jamaica, he connected with Bob Marley’s spirit and is now ‘Bob Marley reincarnated.’ “I feel like I’ve always been Rastafarian,” Snoop said of the spiritual Jamaican movement.

He further stated that he visited a temple where he was was renamed Snoop Lion and was also given the Ethiopian name Berhane, meaning ‘light of the world.’

Snoop didn’t explain why he was switching from Dogg to Lion, but it’s likely a reference to the Lion of Judah, a religious symbol popular in Rastafarian and Ethiopian culture.

The former gangster rapper, known for his lewd lyrics is releasing a reggae album called “Reincarnated” later in the year.

On the album is a track titled “No Guns Allowed” which features his daughter.

The album will be followed with a documentary of the same title, debuting at the Toronto International Film Festival in September.

Davido ” Omo Baba Olowo” Beats Taxi Driver Silly


Rave of the moment, David Adeleke a.k.a Davido (Omo Baba Olowo) is being fingered as the mastermind of an alleged assault against a taxi driver, Femi Ajibola.

The incident which is already casting doubt on the character and the gentle mien  of the young music act occurred on July 1,2012 at about 5:30pm according to the Saturday Punch.

Mr Ajibola, the cabbie in the course of making ends meet, received a phone call from a lady who contracted him to take her places in his car on an agreed sum.
Ajibola narrates …
At the onset,  Cabbie thinking of Mega Bucks
“The lady introduced herself as Susie. She called me to come and pick her and her friend. They told me to come pick them up at Mobolaji Estate near Lekki Second Roundabout. Later, I took them to a hotel at Lekki Phase I to meet one of their friends.

“From there we left for Beni Apartment in Victoria Island. They said that I should wait for them and promised to be back soon. Not long afterwards, one of the girls began to scream as she was coming towards my car. Behind her, I saw David Adeleke (Davido) and four of his bouncers.

“The girl was running towards me. I think the men had assaulted her. She said I should open the door for her so that she would enter. I opened the door for her; as she was about to enter the car, Davido caught up with her and slapped her face,” Ajibola said.

The bubble bursts, Cabbie gets the beating of his life
“He left the girl and faced me. He said I was the one that brought the girls, that I am their boyfriend. He knocked my face against the steering wheel of the cab. This made blood begin to come out from my ear drums. He seized my car keys and in the process, injured me.

“Before I knew what was going on, his four bouncers began to beat me up. They beat me severely and took my car keys from me and chased me away. This happened around 11 pm. I went to report the matter at the Bar Beach Police Station, which was the nearest one. I was asked to come back the next morning to report the case.

More Tales of Woe, Cabbie’s Money  Goes Missing
“I had taken delivery of the vehicle about two weeks before the incident. I had paid my dealer N50,000 and the other N100,000 was in the car because I could not pay it in the bank. The money was in the car and since they had sent me away from the car, I could not retrieve it.

“The following day, I did not find the money in the cab. They did not even let me wind the car windows up before they chased me out. I noticed that the car was ransacked. I managed to obtain Davido’s phone number and called him. But he did not pick his call. So I sent him a text message. Thirty minutes after I sent him the message, someone picked up the call and promised to pass the message to him. I did not get my car key throughout that day. I went to the police station to file a report,” Ajibola said.

Davido as needle in the haystack, Police and Cabbie’s Endless Search 
“When all efforts to contact Davido proved futile, the police had to go to Susie. Unfortunately, she was of no help.”

“On the fourth day, I went to Susie’s house with the police. The ladies said they were not the ones that beat me. They said the only help they could render was to give me Davido’s address and that they had since settled their differences. The whole point of the police visit was to use the girls to get to Davido, but the girls made a phone call to an aunt of theirs and the policemen left them, saying that they were not the ones that assaulted me,” the cab driver said.

Cabbie Learns the truth, the rich cannot be touched, so poor rat suffer in silence

I learnt that Davido was dating one of the girls I picked up. They went to his hotel room and caught him with another girl who was their friend. This is what I learnt caused the fight. The police collected Davido’s phone number and called him, but he kept asking them if they knew whose son he was.

“He warned the policemen not to threaten or intimidate him. They in turn told him that they were just inviting him for questioning and not to arrest him. Since then, the effort to get him has not been forthcoming.  I had to go to the hospital because I was really injured. Davido gave me a blow to the ear which made it to bleed.

“One day, the DPO of the station assured me that they would make sure they get him. He was irritated by Davido’s boasting that he was immune to arrest. On July 13, one Sharon Adeleke asked me to come and collect the key of my car at 1004. I told her to come and meet me at the police station. She did not turn up till the DPO intervened.

Cabbie Misery Worsens,  Learns that  the Police Is Your Friend Slogan is Not For The Poor
“The DPO invited the Sharon Adeleke, she eventually came to drop the key of the car. I told them that I could not just collect the key of the car without documentation that they gave me the key of the car without a penny, though I lost money and my car got damaged. When I said this, the DPO told me that I did not look like someone that was worth N100,000.

“He said I have no proof that there was money in the car and that all he was after was to retrieve my car keys for me. He said that if I wanted to do anything I should go to court and he ordered me out of his office. Till this moment I have not received my car keys or an apology from the singer,” Ajibola said.

uerie The Dark Knight Rises : la police identifie le suspect, et l'avant-première parisienne est annulée

le 20/7/2012 - à 11h28
Christian Bale, The Dark Knight Rises Ron Phillips/Warner Bros. Pictures
Le FBI a identifié le tireur qui a ouvert le feu dans une salle de cinéma du Colorado pendant une projection de The Dark Knight Rises. Il s'agit d'un jeune homme de 24 ans nommé James Holmes. C'est ce qu'a confirmé NBC News.
Le nombre de victimes s'élève à 12 et au moins 59 personnes ont été blessées quand Holmes a fait irruption lors de la projection du film dans un centre commercial d'Aurora, dans la banlieue du Denver, a lancé une bombe lacrymogène et a commencé le massacre.
ET AUSSI : Tuerie lors d'une projection de The Dark Knight Rises dans le Colorado : 12 personnes tuées et 59 blessées
Les premiers témoignages semblent indiquer que le tireur portait un gilet pare-balles et avait un fusil, un revolver et un couteau. Un autre fusil aurait été retrouvé dans la salle de cinéma.
Dix personnes ont apparemment été tuées sur place, et les autres ont succombé à leurs blessures dans les hôpitaux des environs, selon la police locale.
La police a évacué les bâtiments entourant l'appartement de Holmes dans la région de Denver, après avoir découvert qu'il était piégé. Selon plusieurs témoignages, la brigade anti-bombes a été envoyée sur place pour désamorcer les explosifs trouvés dans l'appartement de Holmes au deuxième étage de l'immeuble, qui se trouve à six kilomètres du cinéma où la fusillade a eu lieu.

E! News a aussi pu confirmer grâce à l'administrateur du tribunal d'État du Colorado que Holmes est attendu au tribunal du comté d'Arapahoe lundi à Centennial, dans le Colorado, où le ministère public doit l'inculper. Aucune heure n'a été fixée pour l'audience.
En début de journée, une femme de San Diego qui s'est présentée comme étant la mère de Holmes a parlé à ABC News et a déclaré qu'elle n'était pas au courant de l'incident et qu'elle n'avait pas encore été contactée par la police.
"Vous avez la bonne personne", aurait-elle déclaré d'une voix inquiète, en apprenant les actes présumés de son fils. "Je dois appeler la police", a-t-elle ajouté. "Je dois aller au Colorado."
Suite à cette tragégie, les mesures de sécurité ont également été renforcées pour les séances de ce film.
À New York, la police compte renforcer les mesures de sécurité dans toutes les salles de la ville. Selon le Hollywood Reporter, le commissaire de police Ray Kelly a déclaré dans un communiqué de presse que ces mesures étaient "une précaution contre les imitateurs et un moyen de rassurer les spectateurs au lendemain de cette fusillade horrible dans le Colorado."
La police de Los Angeles a également renforcé ses mesures de sécurité. NBC News a confirmé que des officiers avaient été envoyés dans plusieurs salles de cinéma de la ville vendredi matin pour éviter tout problème de sécurité ou toute activité suspecte.
"Bien que la tragédie qui a touché Aurora, dans le Colorado, semble être un acte isolé, nous sommes plus vigilants", a déclaré le commissaire Mike Parker de la police de Los Angeles. "Le niveau d'alerte a été élevé, nous avons plus de patrouilles pour que la présence policière soit visible près des cinémas et des endroits les plus peuplés."
De son côté, Warner Bros., le studio qui a produit le film, a dû agir à la hâte après cette tragédie et a annulé l'avant-première parisienne du film.
L'avant-première devait avoir lieu vendredi soir, en présence du réalisateur Christopher Nolan et des stars du film, Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway et Morgan Freeman.
Le studio aurait également annulé toutes les interviews et tous les événements promotionnels des acteurs, bien que ce soit le week-end très attendu de la sortie du film dans les salles américaines.

Justin Bieber : "Je me comporte davantage comme un homme"


Justin Bieber Rolling Stone Magazine
Britney Spears a chanté jadis qu'elle n'était plus une petite fille, et pas encore une femme. Justin Bieber a carrément sauté l'étape de transition.
Dans une nouvelle interview pour Rolling Stone, la star de la pop de 18 ans dit qu'il a bien grandi.
"J'ai le sentiment de me comporter davantage comme un homme", a-t-il expliqué. "Je ne me comporte pas comme un petit garçon."
Bien sûr, ça ne veut pas dire que Bieber est trop mûr pour faire une crise de nerfs.
Au milieu d'une partie de golf, son équipe et lui ont rencontré des paparazzis. Selon Rolling Stone, Justin "a réagi en prenant son fer neuf et en leur envoyant une balle de golf. Il a ensuite dit à un employé du club : «On ne rejouera sans doute jamais ici.»"
Ça paraît logique.
Et si les jeunes fans de Justin sont ennuyées par sa relation avec sa petite amie Selena Gomez, dommage. Son manager, Scooter Braun, a dit que pour certaines filles, la vie amoureuse de Bieber "tue le rêve, mais il y a des filles qui le voient avec une petite amie, entendent parler des choses romantiques qu'il fait, et le voudront encore plus."

George Michael parle de sa maladie grave, de sa perte de mémoire et de devoir réapprendre à marche

George Michael Danny Martindale/WireImage
George Michael va mieux désormais (pas grâce à ceux qui ont prié pour sa mort), mais dans une interview avec BBC Radio 2, il révèle qu'il l'a "échappé belle" en survivant à une pneumonie.
Le chanteur de "Faith" et ancien membre de Wham! a été forcé d'annuler le reste de sa tournée l'an dernier après être tombé très malade. Désormais, il révèle les complications qu'il a vécues pendant sa lutte, y compris la perte de sa mémoire pendant cinq semaines.
"Je pensais que je luttais contre une grippe", a expliqué Michael. "J'ai continué de jouer pendant encore trois semaines en Europe. Et un après-midi, je déjeunais, et je me suis senti mal tout à coup, et j'ai dit à tout le monde que je devais aller m'allonger une demi-heure tout seul."
Ce qui semblait n'être qu'un rhume est devenu une lutte contre une pneumonie qui a envoyé Michael à l'hôpital.
"C'est la dernière chose dont je me souvienne pendant cinq semaines", a continué George. "Pendant trois semaines, ils ont tout fait pour me sauver la vie, et j'étais conscient pendant deux semaines."
Il a survécu à la maladie, mais en est sorti avec le sentiment de ne pas être lui-même.
"Ça prend un moment pour avoir le sentiment qu'on va vivre", a confessé Michael. "J'ai dû réapprendre à marcher, et des trucs bizarres, car quand on vous garde sous sédatifs pendant si longtemps, vos muscles s'atrophient à une vitesse énorme. Je me suis réveillé me sentant comme un vieillard."
Heureusement pour lui, il est de retour et en pleine forme, et il écrit une chanson dansante sur toute cette expérience, "White Light" (le clip commence par une machine à respiration et comprend un mélange de plans d'hôpital et de... Kate Moss).

Le bisou du jour : Anne Hathaway et son fiancé dans le métro de New York

Anne Hathaway Adam Shulman XPOSUREPHOTOS.COM
Il n'y a rien de mieux au monde que d'enlacer son amoureux, tout en respirant les odeurs nauséabondes du métro.
Anne Hathaway, qu'on peut voir à l'affiche de The Dark Knight Rises, a été vue en train d'embrasser son fiancé Adam Shulman alors qu'elle prenait le métro new-yorkais.
On adore.
Pas parce que les marques d'affection en public sont à la fois sexy et adorables — bon, d'accord, si — mais surtout parce que Hathaway prend les transports en commun. Elle est comme nous !
Et vous remarquerez que l'actrice n'a pas demandé à s'asseoir. Elle s'est servie de son futur mari comme appui.
Trop mignon.

George Clooney et Stacy Keibler accueillent Channing Tatum et Jenna Dewan en Italie

George Clooney, Stacy Keibler, Channing Tatum, Jenna Dewan Pierpaolo Ferreri/Splash News
Rien ne prouve plus votre statut de superstar que de passer des vacances en Italie avec George Clooney dans sa maison près du Lac de Côme.
Et c'est exactement ce qu'ont fait Channing Tatum et Jenna Dewan ! Le couple a été aperçu dimanche en train de passer des vacances romantiques en Méditerranée.
Les deux amoureux, qui fêtent leurs trois ans de mariage, ont fait un petit tour de bateau avec Clooney, ses parents et sa petite amie Stacy Keibler, pas loin de sa villa. Dewan a posté une photo sur sa page WhoSay d'elle et Tatum sur le bateau avec la légende : "Ciao Bella !!"
Tout ce petit monde est même aussi sorti dîner, ce soir-là.
Quoi ? Vous ne saviez pas que les Tatum étaient amis avec l'acteur oscarisé ?
Il se trouve que Dewan et Keibler sont amies. "Elles sont amies depuis très longtemps", a découvert E! News. "Jenna et Stacy sont super copines."
Elles ont passé Cinco de Mayo ensemble, cette année, à Mixology 101/Planet Dailies et Pink Taco à Los Angeles. "Soirée entre filles !! Margaritas avec @StacyKeibler en ce moment", a tweeté Dewan ce jour-là. "sombreros et tout #cincodemayo #accroauxplatsmexicains."
Cette même année, elles étaient assises l'une à côté de l'autre au premier rang du défilé Marchesa à la Fashion Week de New York.
Et n'oublions pas le lien entre Clooney et Tatum : le réalisateur Steven Soderbergh. Les deux acteurs ont joué chacun de leur côté dans des films de Soderbergh, le plus récent étant le film avec Tatum dans le rôle d'un stip-teaseur, Magic Mike.
Keibler a posté une photo Instagram d'elle, avec Tatum et Dewan au volant d'une voiture avec ce message : "Magic Mike débarque en Italie :)"

La petite Harper Beckham fait ses premiers pas (en public), aidée par sa maman, Victoria

Victoria Beckham, Harper Twitter
Harper Beckham grandit sous nos yeux !

Sur cette adorable photo postée mercredi par Caroline Kennedy, attachée de presse, on voit la petite fille d'un an en train de faire ses premiers pas (en public, en tout cas) avec l'aide de Victoria Beckham.
La maman fashionista, 38 ans, tient la main de sa petite dernière, qui trotte dans l'aéroport de Dublin. Harper, la fille de David Beckham, sourit fièrement, en marchant comme une grande fille aux côtés de Victoria.
Harper est la cadette de la tribu Beckham (elle a trois grands frères : Brooklyn, 12 ans, Romeo, 9 ans et Cruz, 7 ans), mais peut-être pas pour longtemps.
Son célèbre papa footballeur a déclaré à l'émission de Jonathan Ross en début d'année que Victoria et lui "pourraient avoir un ou deux [enfants] de plus, on ne sait jamais. On n'y pense pas encore, mais si ça arrive, tant mieux. On profite des enfants pour l'instant. Mais ça reste une possibilité."

Le bisou du jour : Naomi Watts et Liev Schreiber s'embrassent de façon torride par Kaelyn Malkoski

Naomi Watts, Liev Schreiber DLM Press, PacificCoastNews.com
Naomi Watts n'est pas timide quand il s'agit de montrer son amour !
L'actrice sosie de Lady Di a été vue embrassant son compagnon, Liev Schreiber, lors de vacances à Saint-Tropez dimanche. On dirait que l'actrice profite bien de son break du tournage de son prochain film biographique, Diana, dans les bras de son homme.

Avec le couple en vacances, il y avait aussi leurs deux fils, Sasha, 4 ans, et Kai, 3 ans.
Le couple est ensemble depuis 2005, et il est clair que l'actrice de 43 ans est (toujours) très affectueuse envers l'acteur de X-Men.
