Zoe Saldana Gets Sexy For GQ Magazine

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Actress Zoe Saldana is quickly earning comparisons to Angelina Jolie, another actress who makes kicking ass look sexy. Zoe’s upcoming starring role in Colombiana finds her as a smoking hot hit woman, Cataleya, who seeks to avenge the deaths of her parents. And by avenge we mean explosives, machine guns and hand to hand combat! According to GQ magazine, Zoe was so entrenched in her character that she nearly stopped a bar fight amongst men.

“I knew exactly what I was going to do- Kick this door, grab this, move that guy out of the way. Then I started laughing: Oh, my God, I still have Cataleya in my system.”

It’s clear that Zoe doesn’t plan on turning back after scoring such high powered roles,

“It gets pretty boring when all you are is the support system for a male character,” she shared. “I want to be in the small percentage of women who don’t settle for conventional roles.”

And it may just happen. Would you compare Zoe Saldana to Angelina Jolie?

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
