Today's UPFRONT is star-studded indeed!  I hit the road last weekend for the American Black Film Festival (ABFF) in South Beach, Miami. While there I attended the premiere of TV One's upcoming action thriller - Down for Whatever. I'll be playing interviews from time I spent on the set with the film stars---LeToya Luckett, Bre-z, Imani Hakim and Hosea Chanchez. Click here to see more images from their red carpet premiere.

In addition to Down for Whatever, I also got a chance to see the new Whitney Houston documentary WHITNEY. This is a must see for Houston lovers and music enthusiasts. I reached back into the UPFRONT vault and will re-air a portion of my interview with Houston's Bodyguard co-star DeVaughn Nixon. 

Closing out the show are my exclusive interviews with award-winning singer and songwriter Keri Hilson and singer/actor Miss Lawrence. The two of them partnered with Fulton County Board of Health this week for the launch of STOPHIVATL a new citywide initiative aimed at promoting HIV-AIDS awareness and prevention. 

I will also be playing music from R&B/Jazz songstress Anita Baker. She will be picking up the Lifetime Achievement honors during Sunday's BET Awards
