August 10 - Career checklist: (1) voice lessons, (2) acting lessons. It seems as though the way to break into movies these days is through music. The premiere of the MGM movie Barbershop closed the sixth annual Urbanworld Film Festival, at the Director's Guild of America. A super-cool crowd brought a whoosh of fresh air to the steamy August night. Icing things up, father of gangsta rap Ice T, who also has film credits on his resume, was closely followed by former rapper and Barbershop star Ice Cube. Sizzling rap princess Eve, fully clothed (for once) in a white suit, also appears in the movie. Saturday Night Live funny man Tracy Morgan was all smiles, while Barbershop teammate Sean Patrick Thomas played it cool. Hot young actress Kerry Washington was there to receive a MECCA Award, along with the creators of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play Topdog/Underdog. That show's acclaimed stars Jeffrey Wright and Mos Def - yet another rapper-turned actor - cheered on their collaborators.
