Caribbean Heritage Organization Salute to Hollywood & the Arts Saluting Ms. Cicely Tyson and Mr. Frank Flowers - Saturday, June 21, 2008
The Arts
caribbeanheritagemag.com was curious as to whom the beautiful Angela Bassett found to be a bigger heartthrob---Taye Diggs her leading man from the Jamaica-themed "Stella" or Bahamian Rick Fox from her current Tyler Perry/Lionsgate production “Meet the Browns.”“You won’t get me in trouble!!
For Brenda, it’s Rick! For Stella, Taye, of course,” she said. We concur.
Based on the popular stage production of the same name, TYLER PERRY’S MEET THE BROWNS is a charming story about the joys of family, and the possibility of second chances. Meet the Browns is now in theaters.

He is a Grammy award winning musician, a talented composer, writer and a dedicated husband and father of five children.
CHM recently landed an exclusive interview with the easy-going though self-assured and deeply spiritual musician in Los Angeles. read more
