Paula Patton thinks playing a lesbian is important in "Precious"

She has the most gorgeous speaking voice. Lovely lady.

So cute!

The opposite of war isn't peace, it's creation.

Married to and about to pop a baby by singer Robin Thicke and was also in Déja Vu with Denzel Washington

She's awesome in all her movies. Man, you know what sucks balls?...I read the book "puch"(that's the book "precious is based on) anyway, so i read the book right and i was sooo excited about the movie, But how about they're not showing it where i live!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is just so wrong!. 

True feelings can never be put into words.
therfore when you can't explain how you feel about someone that's when you know..

and effing SWOON.

Okay, so that was unnessary, but she's beautiful and can surpass Halle Barry.  I agree, she's far more talented, but I never could jump on the Halle bandwagon.

i was just telling hank that...i kinda <3 paula for not shying away from taking this role or distancing herself from it. Or being all, 'ew, lezbunizm! i'm so heterosexual, i love penises, this was just a role' about it, as some folks are wont to do. This movie is...kind of a big deal. Yay for visibility! (my biggest fear about the film adaptation was that they'd leave out the whole 'Ms. Rain is a lesbian' angle. Cuz, ya know, Black folks can't be gay.)

also. the fact that she played in butch drag in the pictures Mély Mel'eau posted? Yes. I haz a new crush. 

She has incredible bone structure...and the voice--sexy yet sophisticated. I look forward to seeing her career bloom. Love Halle but she is PAULA PATTON not the next anybody

Thanks Mely for those photos  of Paual P.  Paula is so much better than Halle Berry.  She's not the next Halle.  There can only be one Halle Berry. Just like there can only be one Paula Patton. She had me at Deja Vu. Paula played a butch drag character.  I'm so lost at words.

Love.  It's all love Baby.

Robin Thicke ,dude is like  luckiest man on earth.  

I'm so getting my hands the mag Giant w/ Paula on it.

Thud is the sound my jaw makes at that picture. I've been on the Paula P train since I saw her in Hitch and it has yet to let me off at a wrong stop. She's not only gorgeous and articulate, but there's a passion in her acting I haven't seen from a woman of color in a while. And the fact that she has always stood in her own spotlight as the wife of another celebrity, just makes her that much more amazing. Plus who doesn't adore someone that plays a lesbian (and does it right) not just for show, but because that character's story is important

Plain and simple, she's definitely lesbian icon worthy

Oh my god those pictures!

Also what Cheeky Chester said.

is absolutely gorgeous!! I love her and her husband is one of my favorite artists out there! On the subject of Precious...

If this movie doesn't come to Maine I'm going to be soooo upset! It's gotten great reviews and almost everyone in the cast is being recognized for their performances! 

Awesome :)

Thanks for the vid, too.

gorgeous and great speaking voice but im not loving the hair in the video.  

i cannot wait for this movie

I saw her in her tiny role in Hitch first and then I saw DeJaVu, in which she was awsome and sooooo pretty! I agree with some of the other posters, much prettier than Halle Berrie...and hopefully she won't be making any bad female superhero movies either! I hope she starts to get the regonition she deserves.....I think shes awsome!

Oh and those picutes....oh

my

dear

Lord

...sooo hot!

Paula's a guest on Ellen today -- be sure to check her out!

Talks about being pregnant and Ellen tries to guess the sex of the baby, lol.

Wow. She seems so amazing. She is a great speaker (not to mention she has a sexy rhaspy voice to go with it) and seems to understand things pretty well. I love how she saw the lesbian part of her character as something more than just her sexual orientation. She didn't talk about how it was 'playing a gay', but how it contributed to the role and the story. I respect that a lot. It's hard to imagine someone so beautiful being so down to earth.

She's my new Ms. Honey (Matilda). I've always had a thing for the cute-yet-tough teachers. :P
