Sorry for the lack of updates people. I have gotten a few not so nice emails then last few days...I am still without home internet so it is kind of hard getting to do what I really need to do here. But I am trying to get everything fixed as we speak.

In the meantime I have put up temporary scans of the May Issue of Ebony Magazine (which Vanessa did solo and an additional cover wih her family). I will try and post the whole article tomorrow. Temporary Images here.

Vanessa Williams may star in her own hit sitcom, but becoming the "world's coolest mom"? Now that took a little help from Miley Cyrus.

The Ugly Betty star said she's going to play Hannah Montana's publicist in a version of the Disney Channel show – and her daughter is very excited – during Lincoln Center's Annual Spring Gala Wednesday night.

"My 7-year-old, [Sasha Gabrielle], is into [Miley's] music," Williams told PEOPLE after the event, adding that the deal is so new, she "hasn't even signed yet."

As for the role – playing Cyrus's pushy publicist – "[She] thought it was the coolest thing in the world," said the 45-year-old actress, "and that I'm an awesome mom. Production begins this summer!

Vanessa Williams USA Weekend Magazine Cover

Submitted by Neil & Marcos on Mar 22 2008 1 Comments

Make sure you pick up this weekends newspaper if your city includes the USA Weekend Magazine. Vanessa is the cover celeb that was chosen for their annual Spring Fashion Issue. In the magazine Vanessa Williams dishes on everything from her top five fashion must-haves to just how similar she is to her ruthless, Botoxed character, Wilhelmina Slater. But we've got some extra scoop for you from the photo shoot.

Photographer Mike Ruiz shot Vanessa for the cover. Here's his full report: "Vanessa was an absolute delight and consummate professional. We reminisced about the good old days including the time she did the cover of Interview (which I loved and kept a copy of for years after.) The music we listened to was appropriate for the nostalgia of the day. We were grooving to Michael Jackson's Thriller and other of his greatest hits all day. We had a limited amount of time but were able to do three wardrobe changes. She was very warm and self assured which was reflected in how amazing she was in front of my lens."
