“Power” Season 4 Courtesy of Starz Actress & TV Personality Stars On Starz! Show “Power” “Power” fans will be in for a big surprise this season when co-star Lala Anthony returns to the hit show. Anthony plays LaKeisha, the best friend of James “Ghost” St. Patrick’s wife Tasha, and last season, viewers questioned whether the drug dealer Milan had killed her as part of his bitter feud with Ghost. But LaKeisha is definitely back on the show, and although her character was more on the sidelines, Anthony said LaKeisha will play a bigger role in the new season. “Now, people get to see more of LaKeisha and what she’s about and see her in different scenarios and relationships,” Anthony told BOSSIP. “And as an actress, that’s really exciting, because I have more to dig my teeth into.” Anthony, who recently split from her husband NY Knicks player Carmelo Anthony, said she draws inspiration for her character, a single mom who owns a salon, from being a mother to her son Kiyan, 10. “Power” Photos Courtesy of Starz “For me, I’m a parent in real life, so I just take that maternal instinct from being a mom to Kiyan and take that to being a mom to Cash on Power,” Anthony said. “And it’s the same kind of ‘I’ll do anything for my son, whatever the cost is.’ So I just bring that to LaKeisha’s relationship with her son.” LaKeisha also has a new love interest – none other than Tommy Egan – who helped her out after she disappeared. The pair seems to have quite the chemistry on screen as they enjoy an erotic love scene. “It was terrifying,” Anthony said of getting undressed in front of the cameras. “We’re women. Anytime you’ve got to take your clothes off, it’s a terrifying thing…All I can do is hope that it worked out well.” But Anthony said another relationship that goes more in depth is that of her character and best friend/sometimes frenemy Tasha. “I think LaKeisha always wanted to be Tasha,” Anthony said. “She may have felt, ‘why her and not me? Why does she get the life? Why does she get the guy and not me?’ So that creates a lot of complications in the friendship.” All in all, Anthony said viewers would be in for a wild ride with her character, who desperately wants to be part of the glamorous side of the drug dealing lifestyle. “LaKeisha’s need to want to be in that world is so bad,” she said. “I think this season she understands that that comes with a price. But then you realize you’re in too deep to get out.”
When an album is released, the quality of its life beyond that point is largely outside an artist’s control. Solange Knowles understands this well.

Interesting… Queen Latifah Talks Playing Cleo In “Set It Off” An in-depth interview with Queen Latifah is getting national attention. In the latest issue of InStyle , Queen chats with none other than Tracee Ellis Ross who was tapped by the publication to work as a guest editor for a piece on Queen’s confidence and reinvention. Queen, who got to don an $80,000 Fred Leighton diamond crown for the shoot, spoke on a number of topics including who she considers pop culture royalty… “I’ve been a fan of Solange Knowles from the beginning. The biggest artist in the world is her older sister, yet she never relied on that.” and her keys to a magical life. I used to get caught up in comparing myself, especially in terms of body type, but I realized that often the people I envied were missing important things that I had in abundance…It’s great to have plans and a vision for your life, but it’s more important to be open to the unexpected. Things got especially interesting however when Tracee asked her about her toughest career decision. According to Queen, it was the decision to play Cleo in “Set It Off” because of the stigmas attached to gay characters in the African-American community. “When I got the role of amateur bank robber Cleo Sims in Set It Off, I sat down with my younger siblings and told them, ‘Listen, I’m playing a gay character. Your classmates might tease you or say negative things about it. But I’m doing it because I believe I can bring positive attention to the gay African-American community, and I believe that I can do a great job as an actor.’” So it was hard for her to play Cleo because of her family, not because of the role itself. Makes sense. Kudos to her for her honesty. What do YOU think about Cleo being the toughest career decision for Queen Latifah??? WENN
