Not much in The Word this week since Rashida's been laying low during her break...
COOLNESS
Clare Guerrero Vivier, a handbag designer from LA, posted her thank-you note from Rashida
UPDATE: Clare had second thoughts about sharing that personal note and has taken it down; she wanted to respect Rashida's privacy and maintain her own integrity by not using something like that for personal and/or financial gain. We think that's very admirable of her so we've taken it down too.
To those of you who saved a copy, please don't re-post it anywhere. Thanks guys!

Business Wire: Hollywood's Hottest Flock to the Gansevoort Resort in Turks & Caicos

Me, Myself An Eye did an interesting post about interracial romances onscreen and black/mixed actors in Hollywood, citing Rashida, Thandie Newton, Zoe Saldana and Maya Rudolph as examples.
MMAE: Away Y'all Go...Rashida Jones (daughter of Quincy), who notably played Jim's
other love interest on
The Office, had a role last year as the wife-to-be in
I Love You, Man. She's played the girlfriend/wife opposite a White actor in a number of films and TV shows. (
Yes, now you see where I am going.)...
...It seems like Hollywood is getting mighty comfortable with the casting of Black actresses opposite White males. In most of these films, however, the race of the woman is not discussed.
