Need A Date? How About 30 In One Night?
Marian Wright Edelman: Still Hungry in America
Quincy Jones' baby daughter Rashida Jones is proving the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree; the comedic actress has been tapped to adapt her graphic novel 'Frenemy of the State' into a movie for Universal Pictures and Imagine Entertainment.According to Variety, she will co-write the project for the screen with 'Brothers & Sisters' actor Will McCormack. Published by Oni Press, 'Frenemy' revolves around a young wealthy heiress who works undercover for the CIA. "She has lived a life of privilege, attended the best schools and learned every language, but her obsession with spying on exes gets her into trouble and she is recruited to be a spy in exchange for not going to prison," Jones said of the lead character. "There is a comic element to it, this girl who is so conscious of social standing and wearing the right shoes, suddenly becoming responsible for these dangerous, life-threatening missions."
Jones, who is currently seen on NBC's 'Parks and Recreation,' has also starred in the TV series 'The Office' and in the recent romantic comedy 'I Love You Man.'
A Harvard University graduate, the 33-year old actress is the daughter of the legendary music producer and 'Mod Squad' star Peggy Lipton.

You are so right ADMR: "Like father, like daughter" They are "black" when it's convienient for them. But when it matters most (on a day to day basis, regarding the things "closest" to them) they are just like white people.
They will include you when they want your money/support. When was the last time she did anything and included the black community? Now here she is on b.v. lookin' all needy? To each his own (or her own in this case) but I won't support her and I resent being used.

This sounds a little bit like "ALIAS". I am very much looking forward to this movie.Rashida has much of her mom's acting genes(I remember her mom from "MOD SQUAD"),and she also did some TV work as well,most notably, "BOSTON PUBLIC". Yes,Rashida has a solid foundation to build on. Just one thing,Rashida. STAY AWAY FROM PARIS HILTON,LINDSAY LOHAN,KIM KARDASHIAN,ETC., AND YOU WILL GO FAR.

Every time I hear the word "frenemy", I want to go deaf. Every time I read the word "frenemy", I want to go blind (or at least become illeterate).
