ROCK IT JUST LIKE @LETOYALUCKETT: “KILLERS” PREMIERE MAKEUP

by LeToyaNews on Jun.03, 2010, under STYLE

Singer and actress LeToya Luckett looked absolutely stunning while at the premiere for Killers, her newest film. I’m not surprised that her makeup is yet again on point because Miss Luckett’s face stays beat to the gods. If you want to steal her look, I’ve broken it down.

You ready?

Let’s go.

1. Skin. As always, beautiful makeup starts with beautiful skin. Be sure to cleanse, tone, and moisturize your face according to your skin type. If it’s been some time since you last exfoliated, crack open some St. Ives Apricot Scrub or LUSH Angels on Bare Skin /strong> to rid the skin of shine-stealing dead skin cells.

READ! In the next five years LeToya wants 3 more albums, more movies and endorsements deals!

by LeToyaNews on May.23, 2010, under PRESS

LeToya Luckett may have established her worldwide fame in the music business as one fourth of the original Destiny’s Child but it is her entrepreneurial endeavors that define her in her hometown of Houston. After departing from the group, Luckett invested her time and energy to opening up her Lady L  Boutique in 2004. Now, she maintains two stores and is riding high with her reinvented entertainment career. She is currently preparing a new album and is co-starring in this summer’s action-comedy, “Killers”, alongside Katherine Heigl and Ashton Kutcher.  For an industry veteran of 10 plus years, her drive is reminiscent of someone who has just arrived. She hopes that quality inspires her supporters to take a driven approach to achieving their own success. TAP caught up with Lady L to discuss her brand, boutiques and beats.

Why did  you begin Lady L Boutique?

Honestly, it came from having a shopping problem. My mother and I sat down and I said, ‘Mom I really want to open a boutique’. I thought it would be a great way for people in Houston to get the fashion they see on the runway and worn by celebrities. My mother has a background in accounting, so she managed the business side of it.  I have learned so much from watching her make the deals.

How much did you initially invest in the store?

Our initial investment was between $30,000 and $50,000. I didn’t want go on the credit side of financing; I wanted to pay cash for everything.

What is your role in the store?

I am the boutique’s buyer. I also organize the charity events and fashion shows we host.

JENNIFER HUDSON WAS THE ONE ORIGINALLY CASTED FOR “PREACHER’S KID”‘S LEAD ROLE (BUT IT’S LETOYA WHO GOT THE PART!)

by LeToyaNews on May.04, 2010, under PRESS

Black Voices caught up with Stan Foster as he speaks about working from the director’s chair and casting the lead roles.

Out today on home video is ‘Preacher’s Kid,’ which stars LeToya Luckett of the original Destiny’s Child. She makes her movie breakthrough in this inspiring tale bursting with music.
Making his directing debut is screenwriter Stan Foster, whose previous film was ‘Woman Thou Art Loosed.’ which starred Kimberly Elise, Loretta Devine and Debbi Morgan.
Family, faith and music. Small-town girl Angie King leaves the first two behind to pursue a dream of singing stardom. Luckett plays Angie, the daughter of a stern but loving bishop, whose attraction to the star of a traveling gospel show takes her on the road and into romance, heartbreak and the realization that happiness may lie in the home she left behind. Join her on a powerful coming-of-age journey.
Also in the film are Durrell “Tank” Babbs, Essence Atkins, Gregory Alan Williams, Clayton English and Sharif Atkins.

After writing screenplays for such a long time, what made you decide it was time to direct?
Stan Foster: It was a natural extension. I sold a movie to Lionsgate a couple of years, and I thought about directing it from that time. I also spoke with some colleagues, Michael Schultz and Bill Duke, about advice and they were really encouraging. No one has this vision like me, so let me see what I can do. I was really happy with the process and how it came out.

How did ‘Preacher’s Kid’ become your first film to direct?
SF: This was my baby. Everything I write, from ‘Woman Thou Art Loosed’ to screenplays I sold are a piece of me, and it’s hard to have a baby and hand it over to someone else. This was the first time I got a chance to see it through from every word on the screen. Every frame of the movie has my stamp on it.

What were you looking to bring to this film that you think hadn’t been seen before?
SF: This is the first movie to show the world that there is a world of gospel stage plays. This goes back to Tyler Perry, Michael Matthews and some of the guys that came before them. ‘Woman Thou Art Loosed’ was the first gospel stage play that turned into a film. It’s such a fascinating world when you go to one of these stage plays and you see 95 percent black. A few white producers would come by and one would say, “I had no idea that this world even existed.” Tyler [Perry] wasn’t even in the radar when this came out.
I put together the stage play for ‘Woman Thou Art Loosed,’ and Tyler happened to be in the audience, and he wound up talking to one of the producers and began directing ‘Woman Thou Art Loosed’ and T.D Jakes’ follow up play, ‘Behind Closed Doors,’ and that got him really rolling in the game of stage plays. A few years later, we are doing the film version and Tyler comes on the set, and he partnered with my producing partner Reuben Cannon, and those two have been making money ever since. ‘Woman Thou Art Loosed’ was really the catalyst in a lot of ways to have stage plays make the big screen.

Can you talk about casting LeToya Luckett in the lead role?
